Recent reference cards for AMD were actually built by Sapphire from what I was told.

So the Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT was their reference card basically. And it acts like that, a very solid card.

Sapphire has been building/designing their reference cards for a long ass time.

AMD's website has a picture of what I assume is the reference 9070 and sapphires pulse looks pretty different.

I wish they'd bring back the reference cards. They look so much better than the aftermarket ones, even if the coolers are usually some of the worst.
