Asus uses 2 different PCBs between 3 SKUs for their 7900 XTX. Same story with their 7900 XT.
I am curious to know how they save money (BoM) by adding yet another PCB design and new cooler for it.

Reminds me of the EVGA Classified 980ti I had... Only 2 fans, but huge and massively overengineered.

I honestly never really liked twin-fan cards. Like, they have their place at the low-end but I've always felt comforted by having three fans instead of two. It's not because of noise because noise never bothered me, not even with my blower-style HD-4870, it's about the cooling for me. I've had triple-fan cards only since my twin HD 7970s.

Of course, I realise that I buy higher-end cards and I have a colossal eATX PC case. Twin fan cards are much better for people rocking µATX cases (and those aren't rare). I would just be a little taken aback if my RX 7900 XTX only had two fans.
