Agreed.
My friend's Sapphire PULSE 7900XTX out-clocks my NITRO+.
-Even more insultingly, it clocks better than my NITRO+, using my NITRO+'s VBIOS (I do not advise cross-flash, it is possible though)

Sapphire, since they only make AMD cards. Other companies see AMD as a second priority, compared to NVIDIA.

Indeed - that asus dual fan cooler is offensively bad for a 7900XTX...

Part of why I will only really consider AMD cards from brands like Sapphire, XFX, PowerColor, and other AMD only aib partners.

Is 7950x a good choice to pair it?

No need to ask it 3 times.

If you are buying it to play games, then no. Getting a 9800x3d would be alot smarter.

Oh yeah didnt think of AsRock as they make motherboards, and Yeston i best know for the cat case.

AsRock is the only 1 out of the mobo makers who actually do the AMD GPUs correctly, the other 3 are still under gpp...

Asrock does them correctly probably cause they dont make nVidia cards.

Sorry for repeating the question,it wasn't my intention.The problem is that i'll play cities skylines which uses more than 8 cores,on the other hand x3d cpus can be helpful for this game also.Is 7900x3d,9900x or even 285k any better?My first option is 7950x3d but it costs 730 euros right now.

Some simulation games like cities skylines 2 can make use of many cores, BUT it does not scale liniarly with the amount of cores, so generally you'd still want much faster cores vs more slow cores.

And in non simulation games, the 9800x3d is hands down the fastest gaming cpu.
