Bought it for £600 making it the best price to performance card at that moment. Great performance, great looks. Only problem is a slight coil whine in certain games, but doesn't bother me.
Overall this is probably the more affordable higher end GPU before the Nvidia 4000 series and new AMD lines become available. From testing games I've got, it sits around the levels of performance of 3080ti/3090, depending on the engine, whether they go hard into the RTX aspect. But got solid 70+ FPS even from something like Cyberpunk 2077, maxed out with RTX on at 1440p. Other games go well above 120fps, then again mileage there may vary depending on the rest of your HW, but it it a card fully capable letting you experience games at their best and also stretch the legs of your 144/165hz displays. It's a fairly chunky card so expect to be looking at least a midtower for your builds along with at least a full sized ATX board, the card also seems to take about 2,5-3 slots in the back so should be mindful of that as well. It being the ''founders edition'' it comes with what feels like a fairly stock cooling solution which has me a bit worried considering the card can run rather hot. During a high load (again something like CP2077) the temps can be around 70-80C and 90-95C at junction. And I'm running an airflow case with 3x120mm fans and a radiator as intake, 2x140mm on top and a 1x120mm in the back (all Noctua) as exhausts, everything else goes at really nice temperatures so I'd assume this is by AMD's design. Gonna, I guess have to wait and see if it's going to affect the longetivity of the card, let's hope it's been designed to handle this. Despite the worries about thermals and the card getting a bit noisy when the fans start going, I definitely recommend it to someone looking for that higher end but sensible enough to not want to spend excessive amounts of money just to squeeze couple extra frames out of RTX heavy games. Get a good case with decent airflow, I'd also recommend a good set of fans to make sure the thing gets enough cool air to keep it from getting anywhere near the thermal throttling point.
So got this card yesterday, arrived promptly and in good condition although the outside carton was a bit battered.. I haven't yet built my system, this is something for the weekend, but I'm expecting it to fly. Its paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU and 32GB of 8Pack Team DDR4-3600 CL16 memory. Main use will be MSFS2020 but some other games as well, minimal productivity. Visually the card is very low key, no unicorn vomit adorning its surfaces. Its a bit shorter than I imagined and has a good weight to it. My system is going for a Black/Red colour scheme so should fit in quite well. As I said not yet built system so don't know what temps/performance is like. The GPU isn't going to be overclocked but still should be good I think. Will certainly server my needs for many years to come.
