Can't believe how well it does for $350. Very good value.

It's a decent deal, but the claimed $550 reference price is a joke. The card is currently $370 on Amazon and Newegg, and according to price tracking, it's never been more than $396 when sold by Amazon.
Agreed on all points. Woot's references prices are off the mark pretty often, and comparative shopping is a necessity. I think we're all to some degree still recovering from the sticker shock on GPUs over the last few years. It's nice to see some normalcy return to the market, although prices are still higher than I'd like. It also appears that AMD has used that opportunity to lock itself in as the better price to performance option over NVIDIA. With Intel now in the discrete GPU market as well, the added competition bodes well for better pricing.
In any case, this is a solid GPU for a good price.

Sapphire's Pulse cards don't look as fancy as other models—there is no lighting and the cooler design is more understated, but that will be fine for the majority of the market. You still get a metal backplate unlike on some NV cards. In terms of build quality there's nothing to complain about, the PCB design and VRM is actually identical to the much more expensive Nitro+. Cooling performance is excellent as well. At full load, we measured only 23 dBA, which is quieter than whisper quiet—basically inaudible. This is so quiet that you'll have to walk up right next to the card on an open bench, and focus on it, to make out what little noise it emits—in a quiet room with everything else turned off and a PC with passive components! The competing RX 9060 XT cards in our test lineup are all very quiet, too, though.
Our apples-to-apples cooler comparison test shows that the Sapphire Pulse cooler is weaker than other RX 9060 XT coolers, but considering the low pricing that's ok. What matters more is that temperatures and noise levels are good, which they are, they're actually fantastic. I think it's also important here to highlight that the cooler is MUCH more powerful than the one on the PowerColor Reaper, which is PowerColor's direct competitor to the Pulse.
I was surprised by the low memory temperatures initially compared to other cards, but then realized that this is a side effect of the Samsung memory chips—they simply don't put out as much heat and thus run cooler. But besides the number in monitoring this doesn't affect general day-to-day usage at stock settings. https://www.techpowerup
if you are comparing with powercolor reaper (same price), I think this one is better
I have quite a few GPUs. I have only one Powercolor and have had nothing but problems with it. I won't ever buy one again.
