I’ll probaby buying the Pulse depending on pricing and benchmarks. It seems Sapphire doesn’t put much effort into binning their better chips to higher models anyways.

I think the LE comes in at about 10.5" based on google search, which I can swing. nVidia loses me with the RX 5080 however at what looks like 12".

I miss the days of the Toxic being a specially binned card that really challenged even the Titan.. alas.. perhaps when UDNA comes out.....

I'm more interest in the power consumption, than the size of the cooler. It would be really, really nice, if AMD could make a decent card that uses 200W or less, instead of always being 20-30W higher than Nvidia.

Always being higher than Nvidia? Rdna3 might’ve been less efficient but rdna2 killed Ampere in efficiency.

Let me explain why thats not going to happen. Radeon's brand strategy is to use the previous generation of VLSI and an efficient design to offer better value in every way EXCEPT energy consumption. Its basically impossible for them to compete on power consumption if they are using an old VLSI node ... The older, larger transistors use more power to switch at the same speed ...
