I’d guess lower power requirements, better binned silicon, and less likelihood of firmware gremlins. That’s been my experience - it can be a roll of the dice with some consumer cards. I had a Sapphire RX 6600 that flat out wouldn’t run stably in ppc64le and had visual artifacts, but an XFX card’s been running without issue or incident for me since kernel 6.1.

this and single slot, blower cooler, and looks better and well not much point of a new gamer card imo.

Which XFX card specifically?
Hasturtium:
The XFX Speedster SWFT 210 RX 6600. It’s been perfect since kernel 6.1; I haven’t run into any problems at all.
Tangentially, I wonder if Q66 or anyone else ever dealt with regressions noted in RDNA1/RX 5x00 series hardware as of kernel 5.17...
MPC7500:
What kind of regressions?
I do have regressions. But these do not interfere further.
