Very great with rendering & temps. The 8gb VRAM is annoying but I still recommend the card. General Usage Temp is around 34c-38c. Temps in the busiest part of act 3 in bg3 is about 50c. I set my frame cap at 60fps. Purchased from this seller

Trash. Bought in Jan/Feb 23. ARGB pin wasn't soldered properly and fell off, fan curve seemed off. Did an RMA in March 23, took 3 months to be returned. Have had it back barely more than a month and the whole GPU appears to have failed.

It was struggling to run Illustrator with a basic design, lagged constantly (no RAM or CPU issues, 6TB scratch disk available, those are well endowed), Illustrator kept crashing (blamed Adobe and did a clean install, in retrospect it was the GPU beginning to fail). Display out kept intermittently dropping to my two monitors and Cintiq, and was only fixed by multiple hard reboots. Initially thought this was a problem with Windows hibernate and sleep, because Windows can't do those right either. Issues persisted on eventual restart, and without a clear pattern for when the displays would drop out (i.e. not load related).

Suspecting the GPU, ran a fan check through Sapphire's bloated Trixx program. Display out failed before the fan check finished. Unable to get displays back up at all. Display out failed before BIOS, i.e. before drivers loaded. Continued to fail after using the iGPU to troubleshoot drivers. Clean install of drivers failed.

Submitting another RMA, but in the time it takes to get a replacement or a refund my limited subscription to Cinema 4D and several other graphics programs will expire. Waste of money on a supposedly mid-range dGPU, waste of money on subscriptions which I cannot use without a dGPU, waste of most of 2023, and a waste of the beautiful Cintiq display which requires that additional HDMI slot to run (mobo has x1 DP and x1 HDMI, because I stupidly thought my dGPU would be able to run 2 displays and a graphics tablet at a base level).

Beautiful card, not too power hungry, and excels at 1080p gaming.

For a 1080P GPU, it works fantastic. No issues with drivers and after some clean up, she looks like new! The styling is clean and not too obnoxious.

I want to give this card 7 stars! It's really tiny, and in some builds that's a problem of lousy proportionality. In the Lian 011 Li Air Mini, the card looks like it was built to be placed in there. It's also nearly silent, another good reason why it fits well in this build.

Efficient and powerful gpu. My only real complaint is the fans can get very loud sometimes.

I was originally planning on using the GTX 745 from my old PC because nice GPUs are still so expensive and this build was primarily for work purposes... but between cutting back on the CPU, cooler, and memory, that freed up roughly $300. I really wanted an RTX 3060ti, but after some research, I think this card meets my needs and was a good bit cheaper. I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance, which is admittedly an older game, but I'm averaging 120fps on ultra settings. Most of the time it hovers at 140+, but frames dip to 30 during some cutscenes (a known issue with the game, I don't think that's the card's fault) and into the 90s near sunrise and sunset. I don't need ray tracing and I'm playing on a 60hz 1080p monitor, so this is all I need! I could have gotten the sapphire pulse version of this card for a little less, but I was willing to pay the RGB tax for this one : )

My only complaint with this card so far is that the junction temps get fairly high and the fans don't kick all the way on. I've set custom fan profiles so they will kick in, but they seem to get reset. That's probably an AMD Adrenaline problem rather than an issue with this card though. It could be operator error too, haha. But from what I've read the temps aren't dangerous by any means.

Most professional reviewers seem to think this card is overpriced when compared to the previous generation's MSRPs, but I don't get it. EVERYTHING is overpriced in this GPU market! These are A - in stock, and B - under MSRP. It seems like a good deal to me, considering the current market, if you're looking for 1080p gaming and don't need ray tracing.

If you do get this card, you will need a 3 pin RGB cable to connect it to the motherboard if you want it to sync up with other components (I haven't ordered one yet but will tack it on my next Amazon order). The Gigabyte RBG Fusion Software didn't play well with Sapphire TRIXX, which controls the RBG. I would get rainbow RGB during startup, but it would freeze on a random color once fully booted and TRIXX wouldn't let me change it. I uninstalled RGB Fusion and that solved the problem. I have been using Signal RGB instead. I matched the hex code in the Sapphire software to the "solid color" effect in Signal RBG as a temp fix until I get that cable installed.

Thinked to put 4 stars because of the price, but other than that, phenomenal GPU for 1080p and 1440p on ultra settings

Love how this thing looks and performs, I'm able to get 150 fps on Halo Infinite!

Good gpu but it have had some drivers problems in start but now I haven't experience any trouble with it. It can get pretty load some times also.
