They had shit ton of time to design this thing. They could have used 96bit bus + a bit faster memory and it could be 12GB, no problem.

Even fucking 10GB would be better, it's bare minimum in 2025.

But no, just copy nvidias bullshit practices, how successful was that so far?

All are fine I think, but 3 fan versions should be quieter/cooler and allow more OC room in theory. If price isn't too different than XFX or AR is fine, Pulse costs lot less where I am atm.

price aint too different among the three but what about the samsung vs hynix vram? everyone recommends a gpu with samsung vram chips as it runs much cooler

The XFX Swift/Asrock Steel have a slightly higher boost clock and 3 fans. Both have 2 DisplayPorts/1 HDMI.
Pulse is smaller by about 2 inches, checked mine and it has Samsung VRAM. Has 2 HDMI/1 DisplayPort.

When it was 30C in my bedroom, the GPU was cool/quiet when gaming, seems to run hotter on idle than my 3060 but that's probably because I don't think the fans even turn on unless it goes above 60C (GPU-Z says 0RPM @ 56c with the render test, will launch a game and check and update this post).
Edit: Yup, can confirm they turn on at 60, but very quiet.

In the AMD driver, in the tunning section, there is an option to turn off zero rpm fan speed.

As long as it's no Asus it's fine. The customer service from Asus is ass.
