AIB 7900XTX reviews are coming out and they are looking more impressive than the reference model

While in stock, they are largely the same...
There's good potential if you OC:
It won't perform like that in every game even when OC but least we know there is some untapped potential if you buy AIB cards and the TUF is only $100 more than reference. It's also quieter and etc.
The power is also higher of course. I'd be curious to see how much more power the OC takes.
They also mentioned that OC is actually complicated to do and if you don't know what you are doing, you will actually lose performance:
"Overclocking the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is complicated. Just like on RDNA2, you can no longer dial in a specific clock frequency, but you're operating with min/max sliders to set a range. While on the AMD reference cards, changing the GPU clock does nothing for performance, or it results in a loss of performance or crashes the card when set too high, on this 3x 8-pin custom design things are slightly different.
Due to the increased power limit, the GPU frequency sliders can actually help. Just like on the reference card, for maximum OC performance you should increase power limit to max (+15%), then find your stable memory clock. Memory overclocking works well, but you have to monitor performance. Once memory becomes unstable, there will be no visual corruption, but performance goes down."
Intel 13th Gen non-K CPUs are 28% to 64% faster than 12th Gen according to leaked tests
