Good stock, Great after undervolting
Performs just as well as any other 3080 out of the box, but can run hot (~80C) as it is only a 2 slot cooler. This card can be easily undervolted to alleviate the temperature problems while sacrificing very little, if any, performance. I run mine at 875 mV / 1950 MHz, which takes the peak temp down to about 72C. Highly recommended.

Sleek and powerful
What can I say? It is surprisingly compact, beautiful, and kicks behind. I upgraded from a 1660, so night and day doesn't begin to cover it. Much thanks to Best Buy and their anti-bot protection. Would never have landed this card otherwise.

Wish I would’ve tested it...
Didn’t get to use it because I sold it to a friend and he sold it for profit /: but YouTube reviews say it’s a great card

This is a great graphics card for 1440p / 144 Hz gaming, including modern, demanding titles. Plus it can handle raytracing at acceptable framerates (though not at maxed out/Ultra settings). Looks are subjective but if you like clean & polished, non-RGB products, this is what you want. The card is also quite short at 242 mm, so it should fit nicely in small cases and is less likely to interfere with AIO tubing, radiators, fans, etc. It also has not-terrible thermals. Most, if not all, partner models will have better thermals but these are good and better than previous generations of reference model cards. In my opinion, Nvidia knocked it out of the park with the redesign of its reference cards this series. As for downsides, two minor things to note. First, it has only 8GB of VRAM, which isn't much of a problem in 2021 at 1440p, but will be at some point in the future. Literally the only thing that I'd quibble with is the 12-pin power connector that necessitates an 8-pin adapter, meaning if you've invested in third-party cable extensions, you'll have to buy yet another one. Okay so the big caveat here is if you can get your hands on one. Friends, all I can say is try not to invest emotionally in the search and just be as persistent as you can reasonably be. Good luck!

3060ti
This graphics card is big stepup from my 1060. It runs great and its powerful. I can run games like cod cold war in rtx with 80-110 fps which is not bad at all. I love this card

Mediocre buy
Good card, should only buy it if its the only one you can get and/or you want to go in a small form factor/custom water cooling etc. The FE has a much better cooler than this.

Wonderful card
Great card. Fits in my small form factor NZXT H1 chassis. Very lucky to be able to buy one and have no complaints.

Amazing deal compared to the previous gen
Easy to install and works like a dream! I replaced my 2060 with this and was surprised how much of an improvement it was. Not a fan of only 8gigs of v-ram but I think it wont hold me back for a few years.

great card bad fans!
The terminals are good. The only thing I ever have a problem with MSI is their fans. the blades break right off so easily. I am missing 3 blades from a USB cord hitting it and my newborn stuck his finger in it. This is not the first MSi fan that has broke on me no others do they are very cheap fans. that's the only complaint.

Worth every penny.
Very fast and easy to install. Downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers and got the card up and running. Temps are pretty good and during game play, I couldn't hear the fans ramp up. Excellent card.

Great dependable card!
The first GPU in the 30 series I was actually able to get my hands on.It runs games like AC Valhalla at 2K fine on my 75 Hz monitor and can probably provide higher frame rates with a better monitor. No issues with the card thus far and I use it for a mixture of work and gaming. I would recommend either this card or the new 3060 Ti given the great price to performance .

One Beefy Boi
Coming from an EVGA 980 I've had for what feels like 100 years I had to get another EVGA card because their warranties are second to none and my 980 had served me well for so long. Slammed this card in my build making sure to use two separate power cables to hook it up. Fired up 3DMark and Borderlands 3. 3DMark score was like 3.5x my 980 and I was able to run the BL3 benchmark at 4k Ultra settings at 64.38 FPS, which is straight nuts. Fit in my Meshify C without any issues.

Best buy provided the best buy
Excellent buying experience, got a GPU for MSRP and the proxies didn't buy all the inventory up like Amazon or other retailers! GO BEST BUY, supporting the consumers like business should

So good I got 3 of em
Love this GPU, I came from a RX 580 so this was definitely a noticeable upgrade. I bought 3 of them they’re so good lol one for my main pc and 2 for ones I’m building to sell to others. But great GPU overall :)
