2 things: 1) Another big factor in yellowing of any plastic or paint, is heat. Inside a PC case, that's very long term, extended or constant exposure. 2) What were the OC results like? IMO the ability to overclock easily, deliver power, and good cooling / noise profile, is an essential core feature you're paying for (often a lot too), when buying premium versions of GPUs, motherboards and relevant CPUs the last 5++ years. There are exceptions of course, but thinking generally. There really isn't all that much out-of-the-box, bone stock configured performance difference between the different models, because there's _not supposed_ to be. Where the real differences lie (re; mentioned exceptions), is in the cooling and overclocking. That's not just my own thinking, the manufacturers apparently do so too, sinking a lot of budget into that, and actively encouraging its use so much as to polish the tools to do so, and even putting overclock(ing) or OC right in the product name.

Though you can't do much about the PCB, Exposure to intense UV light will whiten plastics up in short order. The backplate can always be powder coated if it yellows. Heat will be a big factor in yellowing as well. Been looking hard at the Gigabyte vision 3080 because I need nvenc.

Black basically can contrast all spectrums of colour a lot better than white, black adds more focus on colour and accents as white usually just absorbs any RGB and floods the interior with reflection. White eventually yellows and gets stained more easily than black.

I've got the black 6700XT Hellhound and according to HWiNFO64 the VRAM under full load is roughly the same temp as the GPU edge temp at roughly 60 degrees C. The GDDR6 (non-X) doesnt produce a lot of heat and the Hellhound has thermal pads on the VRAMs which transmit heat to the heatsink, the cooling design on the Hellhound is definitely sufficient for this card.

I have a white-out PC built in 2014 with 4770k with a white mobo, white graphics card shroud, and case. The yellowing is very gradual (if buying high quality item) and would barely noticeable even 4 years later. I'd say it is a non-issue unless you're planning to keep your PC longer than 5 years. Even then 7 years later, the yellowing is only noticeable in either daylight or 5000k white light. I will saying any white PCB or white plastic will yellow first. The only time I see drastic yellowing within few years is with any cheap crappy parts.

For example the card has a dual bios cut-out and written on the backplate but it does not have an actual switch despite the 5700 XT version had. This alone interests me enough to see if Sapphire has an answer for it. It also lacks the LED lights which 5700 XT version also had so plenty of "???" stuff going on.
