That area costs money rofl.
You're now in the era of everything not very useful getting axed off to save on xtor counts.
AMD RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT Reviews

You're now in the era of everything not very useful getting axed off to save on xtor counts.
From my peasant point of view that needs to be very carefully thought out, because using more xtors to have more efficient hardware usage be it raster/RT but less shading units overall is probably preferable to having more shading units that won't work as efficiently, hence bad scalling or inconsistency overall, and power usage?
CB.de made some comparison photos of the reference and AIB models:
Also a comparison with 4090 reference:

Hellhound here is 2x8 pin and has similar clocks to these of reference.
I'm just wondering why the small(ish) reference in the first place as this has seemingly resulted in worse thermals and acoustics.
But they all look cool otherwise I think. Beautiful cards.

The VR performance of the 7900XTX is way slower than the 4080. In fact it's not much faster than the 6900XT, it didn't manage to be more than 20% faster, sometimes it was even just 5% faster, also the 6900XT was found to be 15% faster in 3 games.
omg.
Can't just somebody put in a little CPU and SSD? It' would barely increase costs nor weight at this point.
Open design seems nice for the cold winter too. Guess i'd no longer need socks with one of these under my desk. Plus, splicing vegetables becomes a matter of kneeling down just for a moment.
It is so exciting what GPUs can already do in 2022.

Just seen the reviews of the Sapphire XTX card and seems competitive when at 3Ghz+
The Guru3D review of the Sapphire card puts it between 3090 and 3090ti in ray tracing in most games with only the heavier RT games pushing the XTX to 3080/3090 levels.
Price has killed these cards.

Guru 3D's charts show otherwise.
Performance bios uses 80w more: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/sapphire_radeon_rx_7900_xtx_nitro_review,6.html
Silent Bios is a little bit worse than the reference.

Maximum peak power is a 65w difference in their charts and idle is actually 2w lower.
The typical power consumption while gaming/watt is a difference of 63w.
When tweaked the average performance increase is 8%.

I feel like the reference cooler and form factor were designed for a lower power card. Seems pretty obvious that the card is very power limited at 350W and the reference cooler is not well equipped to cool 350W. It probably should have been a 400W card, and it should have had a larger cooler.
There's some wide wide variety between samples, TPU for example got pretty good sample
