  A very powerful card plays whatever you want at 1440p resolution and high settings.

  Compared to the 2070 I had before, I saw a difference of up to double the fps in games like Cyberpunk, Overwatch 2, and the new Call of Duty, easily playing them on high settings at 150-200 fps.

  It is completely silent and its temperatures do not exceed 70 degrees.

  It was purchased for €950 and I can say that it is worth the price, as I plan to use this card for at least 5 years.

  To answer some things regarding the card and texture loading in some open world games. The card itself has nothing to do with loading textures. At the beginning of a game, when you enter to play, the card only loads what the game sets as necessary for that particular moment. This includes loading screen pictures, menus, etc.

  It depends on the game when and if it will start loading textures for the map, specifically in the case of Pubg, which decides at the last moment which map to use.

  Also, in other open world games, depending on where you spawn, it loads at the last moment if it's online or as quickly as possible if it's in offline story mode.

  Many things play a role in how quickly textures load, such as storage, memory, processor, and then to the card's VRAM. The higher the resolution and graphic settings, the larger the packages sent to the card.

  Additionally, even internet speed can affect it when you are in an area with many players and each one is doing something that changes the scenario on the map and their location. This translates to forced refreshes that consume bandwidth and wouldn't exist in offline mode. Unfortunately, there will always be a bandwidth limitation that causes slow loading textures, stuttering, lag, etc.

  These are all factors when playing a demanding game, unless you are playing very old and lightweight games, where there will still be some limitations, or unless you build a PC that is at least 100% above all the theoretical bandwidth limitations you may encounter. Something unlikely by today's standards.

  Especially when it comes to graphics cards, I think we are far behind in terms of what a game can push on a card. There isn't much room for someone to create a game that is flawless in every detail and for a graphics card to be able to handle it in every scenario without any limitations.

  I put 4 stars because when entering PUBG, while waiting for players to join, the landscape, grass, buildings, etc. take a long time to load and I can say that the 1050ti 4gb with Asus' overclock loads them faster. Its performance is very good, of course, and I play in 2k resolution. The rest of my setup is great, so we can't blame the CPU and RAM, and I have a 1TB SSD NVMe Evo 970 for storage. Also, the temperature rises quite a bit and my side windows burn my leg, so it definitely needs good cooling in the case. These are the things I noticed and mentioned, maybe it will help someone, maybe I seem excessive, but in my opinion, it would be worth spending a little more money to get the ti version.

  Upgrade from rtx 3060 to this card is like day and night. I have a 1080p monitor and it plays everything at 80+ fps on ultra graphics. It also plays in dsr 2k with very good fps.
  For a 1080p monitor, the card may be a bit excessive, but I'm one of those people who want to play everything on ultra settings and never drop below 60 fps.
  In terms of temperatures, it didn't exceed 73 degrees in demanding games.
  Overall, as a card, it is worth it for 2k-4k gaming.
  Set-up:
  Motherboard: MSI Z490 Gaming Plus
  CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K
  RAM: Corsair 16GB 3200MHz
  PSU: Corsair RM750x Gold Plus

  In 5120x1440p:

  Flawless. A beast of a card, without fear. For example, it runs God of War, Sea of Thieves, Doom Eternal, RDR2, and Arkham Knight at max settings without any crashes, perfectly.

  Cooling:

  I have a total of 13 fans (excluding the 3 on the 3080), so I can't really notice the noise. I have the fans (on the 3080) set at around 75% to keep it as cool as possible with a slight overclock. It has run for up to 12 hours, playing at around 70°C.

  MSI Afterburner:

  An easy-to-use program for overclocking, fan control (and FPS/temp display).

  [Card installation (and software):
  It comes with instructions for someone who may not know how to replace their old card with this one.]

  \\

  QA:

  1080p resolution?
  -Not worth it, look for something cheaper.

  2k resolution?
  -As mentioned above, I play at 5120x1440 (G9 Odyssey), EVERYTHING, at max settings without any crashes. It's the sweet spot for this resolution.

  4k resolution?
  -I'm not sure, but from what I've seen, it's very good there too.

  Temperatures?
  -Hot, but normal for a GPU.

  Is it big?
  -Check the dimensions supported by your case and the card's dimensions through Google. As seen in the official photos, it has 3 fans, so it's big and heavy. It's worth getting a card holder to prevent sagging.

  RGB?
  -Since it's the only MSI product in my computer, I use OpenRGB.

  Is it worth it for games like LoL, Valorant, CS:GO, and low-spec games in general?
  -No, if you only or mainly play games that don't require powerful cards to play at their best, don't get this one. It's overkill, and you'll have to cap the FPS to avoid lag from excessive FPS (I saw it in LoL). Look for something cheaper.

  Value for money?
  -Depends on the budget (and usage), yes, but the market is constantly changing and technology is evolving, so I don't know how futureproof it is.

  I tried to cover everything I find useful. I hope this review proves helpful to you.

  It's awesome. It's extremely powerful. I had the 2080s trio and saw a 35fps difference in 2k. It's one of the best performance upgrades from the 2080 to the 3080! Together with the 9900k, it's great! Yes, it's expensive, but let's be honest, don't expect prices to drop easily! ... and with the new 4080 series, when it becomes available, how much will it cost? Maybe 1500?! ... and we'll want contracts with the power company???? Hahaha... for this specific one, Colin wine 0! Everything is perfect according to temp! I wish it was 600 euros, but that's just wishful thinking... in terms of performance, I'm very satisfied!

  It was purchased for 964 euros, a good price for those who want to wait a little in case it drops to 750-850.
  It is paired with a 9700k Stock and RM750x in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mid Tower with 7 fans, and the maximum temperature is 71°C after several hours of gaming. As for coil whine, I personally have minimal (maybe I'm lucky). In terms of performance, it is exactly what I expected and I have no complaints!

  It is a card at the end of her life with a higher price than when it came out, that's the truth, there is simply no other choice for consumers. Since the 40 or 50, I don't know what they will call it, will be delayed quite a bit and as my friend correctly said, we don't know prices and availability.
  Now let's talk about the card itself, personally, I don't like its appearance with those dragons and lights, I find it very childish, but you could say it's a matter of taste.
  However, what is not a matter of taste is the COIL WHINE. So, I am on my third power supply with 3 independent Rails and all 3 supplies are Platinum Corsair 850. Yes, it is better than before for sure, but even now, it can still be heard. And no, it has nothing to do with FPS but with the load of the card... I even tried Undervoltage. So, I probably won the lottery, which of course means the warranty won't be changed.
  Now let's move on to the MSI Software part. When you don't install it, the card has a bunch of lights on top that do their own thing (they are not Default off like the previous ASUS I had) and when I finally install it on the PC and turn them off, it should continue to run in the background...
  Also, inside the box, there is a metal stand that is supposed to support the card... the problem is that it doesn't have anywhere to attach to... it has a foam pad that simply rests under the plastic near the fans and when there is a little pressure, it just moves. In other words, it's pointless and could have been solved with a kind of notch.
  On the positive side, it is indeed quiet (if you don't have coil whine) and with relatively good temperatures.

  The card is very powerful... at 900+ it is worth more than the 3070ti. However, it is not generally worth it at such a high price. Ideally, it would be around 750-800.

  After a long gaming session, temperatures reach 79-80 degrees, but if you lower the Power limit to, for example, 85%, it goes down to 69 degrees without any compromises in most games.

  Overall, it is worth it as a card! The 4th generation... will come in September with unknown prices and availability...

  I bought the card at 961 on 30/4 with the logic that it is a pretty good price for such a card. My system has a Ryzen 5 3600 and I play at 1080p 240hz. The card plays everything flawlessly. However, I always cap the FPS at 70 and keep the shadows at medium, out of habit from previous cards. It runs at 90 watts with 40% usage. Temperatures in my well-ventilated case are at 45 degrees.
  When I switch to 2K, which is mainly why I chose it, I will update, but from what I've researched, the card is what I paid for and will perform flawlessly.
  The games I play are very GPU+CPU based, like strategy games with lots of characters and moving objects that require processing power, so I push it as much as needed to have an opinion.
  I came from an RX 590 8GB. Day and night difference. Where before I had to play with bad graphics just to maintain 60 fps, here it's a whole different game, I think.
  As for the coil whine that someone mentioned, I haven't experienced it, though.

  Upgrade from 1080Ti. Simply a beast, plays everything on ultra settings. Used with Odyssey G7 27" 1440p 240Hz. The price has dropped significantly, but I believe it still has a long way to go to reach its true value. Bought for €1350 about a month ago (ouch) and now it's playing around €1100.
