It is probably the closest answer to reality: it depends. Build quality and features can vary over time and between tiers.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review - Disrupting the GeForce RTX 4080
Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.www.techpowerup.com
58c core/73c hotspot seems pretty damn good to me
Ofc they don't slap a fan on the front and one on the back in between a George Foreman grill in between or take up 4.5 PCI slots, so I can see why that maybe meh cause moreeeee thiccness and size is better

The biggest problem with FE is that you can't buy them everywhere unless you go through some loops like in my country since they don't sell them here officially, only way I can get one is to wait for them to show up on the second hand market but they are usually quite overpriced. 'some of the older FE cards still hold decent value around here'FE cards are top tier, ASUS TUF also very good, but it's hard to go wrong these days.

TuF yeah I can't say a bad thing about my TuF 3060 Ti's cooler, this cooler is borderline overkill for this card but hey I won't complain about that ofc.'I did have to repaste it tho, since the factory paste was garbage and it literally turned into dust after a few months'

What, OE pcb you mean?Just an FYI, Zotac is probably the largest video card manufacturer in the world... well the company that owns them. PC Partner owns Zotac and Inno3D and Sapphire outsources their boards to them for production which is why people mistakenly think Zotac and Sapphire are the same company.

no that's another supplier. They put the video cards together for their own brands as a board partner and do contract work for brands like Dell and Sapphire.What, OE pcb you mean?

I had a couple of Matrox Millennium cards back in the late 90s. Their 2D performance was superb but their 3D performance was not memorable. It was one of a handful of graphics cards that enjoyed semi-decent driver support in Linux.
