Question Is there an official reference version of the RX 7800 XT?

In the same way that the Nvidia cards have the founder's edition, does AMD also do this?

I have seen cards called 'reference' in the past for AMD, but cannot seem to find a definitive answer about this model.

It doesn't look like AMD had any plans on making the card themselves, and most of the AMD branded ones on PCPartpicker look like OEM product codes with no actual pricing history.

Dang, I feel really, really stupid. The reason I couldn't find it is they are out of stock.

The reference model is a Sapphire that Newegg just so happened to have on a pre-release backorder. Picked one up alongside a free smattering of some Cowboys from Space, Inc. (lol) I might gift the Starfield part...

Should have in hand next week.
