The newest cards from Asus include tons of extras, including an internal senor that'll tell you when your card is 0.1 degrees ...

AMD walked back confusion around "maintenance mode" and confirmed RX 5000 and RX 6000 cards still get day-one game support.

While Asus doesn't detail exactly how it manages this trick, it probably built an accelerometer into the card itself, so that it knows when its orientation is off.
