Yeah it's strange. The Aorus should perform similarly to the ROG Strix for example, but it doesn't. It's louder and has worse temperatures.
Maybe Gigabyte have improved things for the 5000 series? Either way I don't like their designs personally.

Depends on the benchmarks, I'm not interested in frame gen, I want to see performance of a 5080 vs a 7900XTX in raster with no upscalers used.

The Aorus Master was by far, far away the nicest card of the 4090s I had (vs. FE and Gaming OC). No coil whine and pretty much silent. Sent back because of one rattly fan :[
Otherwise I would have kept it. Minor issue I’ve read about is that the RGB on the fans themselves causes fan ramping but I just disabled it and there was no issue, IIRC.
Bloomin’ fan!

Gigabyte putting flashing rgb inside the fans should be a war crime tbh.

How does the FE compare to the Gaming OC in your view? I recall the Gaming OC 4090 getting well reviewed and was a solid mid tier card, but above the entry level cards with reference PCBs.
The FE was built like a tank, my favourite of the 3 in that regard, but had dreadful coil whine. The gaming OC was the least well built and also had dreadful whine, unfortunately. I must have gotten unlucky.
No whine on the Aorus whatsoever. Same PSU and cables on all of them.
It was a total lottery tbh.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. My FE has a small amount of coil whine in some games, but nothing too bad thankfully. It wasn't apparent until i moved from a 144hz to 240hz monitor.
