It is clocked high so lots of fans does make sense.

Just the bandwidth and ram that’s crap

Its 100W TDP, you know what else was 100W TDP? ATI Radeon HD 4850 from 14 years ago https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-4850.c493

My 6970 was so loud with its single, tiny fan, I never bought another AMD card.

One fan and 250W TDP is crazy. Even 170W GTX760 with same reference cooling was a hot loud mess. But here we are talking less power dissipation than 2007 GeForce 8800. Those even came in single slot thin fan configurations, with afaik not a single manufacturer going for more than two slot one fan.
