Its a beast of a gpu, running it at upto 2750mhz, memory at 2150. Had issues with the original cooler overheating and shutting down the pc so I ditched it for a waterblock and its amazing since.

After 14 years I decided to build a new top tier PC, my buget was $4k and I ended up spending $4.5k. I've owned this card for about a month now and crashes randomly, to be exact it's happened 12 times as of now.. As soon as I installed it, I’ve updated to the lastest software. Also my case has extremely good cooling. Over price in this market, stutter while playing games and not acceptable for crashing so many times.. When working properly its nice.

STILL EXPENSIVE BUT GOOD CARD

This card is paired with a 5900X on MSI Gaming Edge WiFi running at stock settings - NO NEED TO OC THIS CARD. At first, I had driver issues and my pc kept shutting down, screen flickers, etc. I installed DDU to rid my system of previous Nvidia drivers with no success - still random shutdowns, screen flickers, and so on. I correctly had three separate 8-pin cables running from my new EVGA 1000W power supply so I was confident this was not a power issue. So, from there I backed up all my pc files and game data to a separate external drive. Afterwards, I made sure motherboard had latest BIOS update, completed a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, installed AMD chipset and drivers from mobo manufacturer and WOW - everything works GREAT! Its important to install chipset and drivers from mobo manufacturer. At first, I installed from AMD but still some issues. After installing drivers and chipset from MSI, it runs smoothly. By the way, this is the second card I've owned - the first arrived with a bent backplate, I gave these guys another shot and so far NO disappointments. This card regularly runs 4k games at about 10-15 frames slower than 3090 but at half the cost! Also, make sure you have a strong enough power supply that can run 3 separate power cables from the psu to the card - no split cables, etc. Hope this helps - take care and happy gaming!

This card does great 1440P gaming. As for 4K it does alright. If you are planning to get a 4K monitor, I would suggest waiting for the next generation. But for my setup it will suit me fine for a few years. I would not pair this with anything less than a 5800X CPU or you will most likely be bottle necking the GPU. I don't know if the RGB is controllable from the motherboard. I know that Polychrome will not let me select the graphics card to sync it. If you have an AsRock Motherboard you will be stuck with the default rainbow color.

I was going to give 3-4 stars as when I had it in my computer I had a lot of issues, but I did a build for my girlfriend (the exact same as my pc), and she has had zero issues and she really likes how the card performs, and it doesn't seem to be giving her any of the same issues.

I have more fps now then ive ever had before. The RGB is not overly RGBy kinda sucks you have use the msi software to control it but whatever. Im enjoying team red coming from a 3060. Will need some sort of support to keep gpu sag at bay, its a heavy boy.

Works well, but price is nearly double msrp and the temps go straight to 110c with no OC. That's your 2 missing stars. It goes right back to ambient temp within 5 seconds of load stop, and also tried open bench, so I know it's not case heat soak, but it just as quick shoots back up to 110c under load. I force 60FPS cap to keep it coolish on older games. Newer games it's always hot. Otherwise does everything I ask of it. Almost everything I have 4K@60FPS in ultra setting. Only NFS Heat and FH5 need to be dropped to high settings instead. I'd assume 1440p has no issue. Paired with Ryzen 7 5800x, MSI B450i, 16GB DDR4. In fact, the issue with NFS Heat is the system ram capping out, so perhaps if I upped to 32 that will resolve itself.

This card is an absolute powerhouse. I play using an ultrawide 1440 monitor and this thing crushes every game I've played at maximum settings. The price was very steep, but I did sell a 3070 to subsidize some of the cost. This card runs cool and relatively quiet and boosts to 2400+mhz regularly, so you're definitely going to get some years of high-performance gaming out of it, but that price...whew!

Powerful performance at the cost of extreme heat

I purchased this in February and have had quite the love / hate relationship with it since then.
Pros:
- It is extremely powerful and runs all of the games I have very well on high / max settings, even on my 49" utlrawide monitor (well, at first anyways, but more on that below)
- It looks great inside of my case, and has lighting control via MSI's control software
Cons:
- It get EXTREMELY hot. Like. Up to 110 degrees hot, even when not overclocking but just running it on standard settings, depending of course on which game it is running. Anything that is 3D and graphically intense will cause the temperature on the card to skyrocket, usually within minutes of running said game (and this is with all three fans on the thing blowing at full blast AND all 6 case fans also blowing at full blast.) This makes it difficult to play anything at length, as I always worry that the card is going to overheat and thus fail or die way faster than it should given how expensive this card was. I have also tried numerous different things to get the card's temp to stay down, such as undervolting, reducing my screen's resolution / aspect ratio, etc. However, the whole point of buying cards like this is so that one does not have to do this kind of thing. If I wanted to run games at lower resolutions or smaller aspect ratios, I would have bought a cheaper card that essentially forces me to do this. Having to do this on AMD's flagship card so that it doesn't melt into slag is asinine.
- AMD's software is such a pain, especially if one wants to adjust any of the stock settings. This is due to some sort of issue that has been around for years apparently, where any little thing that comes up on one's system causes AMD's software detection to "detect" a system failure and thereby reset all of the settings back to their default values (despite the system not actually failing at any point prior to this detection occurring.) Worse than this though is when it changes the values not to any sort of default setting, but just adjusts them to new values for reasons? No issue was detected with these changes, yet despite this the program will still just randomly change certain settings (such as the fan speed curve I set, which is probably the most annoying thing to change back.)
When it's working, it works great. But having to constantly readjust settings for no good reason, and having to constantly worry about how hot the thing is getting due to running a 3D game for longer than five minutes is absolutely absurd. So sadly, for these reasons combined with the insane price this thing costs, I cannot recommend this card at this time.

Great graphics card. I had a XFX 5700xt ThiccIII and was having drivers timeout playing flight flight sim and was trying to get a Nvidia graphics card but wasn't having any luck so I winged it and bought this on sale and can now play flight sim without driver time out and get about 10-25FPS boost over my 5700xt.

I bought 2. One is good and the other was not. I was happier with the Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming OC 16 GB that I bought ($280 less) and yet better, more efficient and productive.
