(even though I admittedly didn't with my 6700XT for $350!, Lulz)

So while I appreciate competition and wish AMD the best. I wouldn't recommend the card until you can know for sure the heatsink won't be defective.
The heatsink issue could be much bigger problem than the 16 pin power connector issue that everyone made a big deal over on Nvidia.
I am hearing there could be 1000s of bad heatsinks. which is much higher number than the 30-50 people that had power cable issues with nvidia.
Lets wait and see how bad it is first.
Nvidia and AMD got high on crypto mining crack and can't quit. The 7900XT needs to $750 at most and the 4070 Ti needs to be no more than $700 even then that's pushing it.
It's just bad for consumers both Nvidia and AMD deceptively named products that are clearly below the tier for their name when compared to Ampere and RDNA2.
4080 16gb is really a 70 class card (die name and bus width)
4080 12gb (4070 Ti) is really a 60 class card (die name and bus width)
7900XT is really a 800XT performance class card
