Hellhound here is 2x8 pin and has similar clocks to these of reference.large cards to handle large power. I’m assuming these all have much higher power limits.
omg.CB.de made some comparison photos of the reference and AIB models:
The Sapphire uses 80W more power than the reference design for 3% more performance...
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.
There's some wide wide variety between samples, TPU for example got pretty good sampleI 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.
