Wonder is anyone is looking at getting a non XT and looking at future flashing with the XT BIOS like that was possible with the older cards such as Vega 56/64?

Which 9070Xt are you going for?

Slim chance of getting the cheaper ones, if I don't get those, I'm looking at the Asrock Taichi or the Sapphire Nitro +. £60 more than the non discounted base versions seems okay. The Asrock will fit well with my Asrock Nova motherboard, but I do like the clean design of the Nitro +, the hidden power cable is a great idea.
Is there a list of which cards have dual bios . it should be mandatory at this price.
How well do these card undervolt. I fancy the 9070 xt but I don't want to dump that heat in my case.
anyone got a beakdown of the 9070 cards (non xt) ?

Until we know if they're laser cut, or BIOS cut, it's hard to say.

Like most people, I have sights on the Sapphire Pulse - but any model that runs coolest to be fair I'll be happy. Not sure if I'm willing to stretch for more premium cards though. We'll see what happens when the fomo kicks in at 2pm

Cant decide Pulse or Nitro. Which ever is quieter.
Any indicationof coil whine on the 9070XT?

"The familiar coil whirring is also still present and clearly audible at high FPS, especially with the Sapphire RX 9070 XT Nitro" according to igorslab.
So I don't imagine the Pule being any better.

If the pulse is running slightly lower clocks, and power draw, it would likely be slightly better than the Nitro.
I did thst with a 6950oh can't remember the card from years ago... To be honest thou. 40more pounds for a xt compared to a non xt seems mute.
Oh will the reaper be the same or is the pulse better if you want a standard card?
Reaper has PTM and 2x8-pin as well, see their product page: https://www.powercolor.com/product-detail212.htm.
So pretty similar.
But Wendell mentions the Pulse OC's better than other cards, so maybe Pulse:
