AIB vs AMD Cards

[nether1234]

Hi All,

 

So I see that AMD 7800xt cards are available on their website, but still not seeing man AIB cards available... I have had an ASRock card on backorder for about a week now from NewEgg and I feel like it's just going to keep getting pushed back. Are AIB cards worth the wait or should I just get an AMD card? I also don't want to miss out on the Starfield deal.

AIBS are out tommorow i think

Based on this review, I think I'd wait for the AIB cards:

"However, our normalized apples-to-apples cooler comparison test reveals that the cooler on the AMD reference card is the weakest out of all the cards tested today, some custom designs run over 20°C cooler at the same power and noise levels. Just like all other recent graphics card releases, the RX 7800 XT will stop its fans in idle, desktop work, internet browsing and light gaming."
