- Value: I paid 280 from newegg. With the free software not too far off 200 for 3060 ti performance (for directx 12). it's very under rated. - I think it's better than what some were saying or it's gotten better either way my experience is good. Witcher 3 > 100 fps, Cyberpunk 60fps high , no ray tracing, Destiny 2 performance smooth and fast. - on 98% load it's running for me at about 70c. - more open nature -> xess, and linux support - no registration for drivers. - arc control has potential. - quality build. I know it got some flack from some reviews, but the build is great; it has a vapor chamber and run cool. I think mods might be a little annoying in time because they didn't use a backplate with screws though. - open strategy; like amd not creating a bunch of company specific tech - intel is good with long term support generally. Nvidia is actually pretty weak they never backport new tech to old cards one of the reasons I was looking for an alternative - they are focusing on the right things. Softwrae. I 'd prefer to see them work and continue to work on anything related to stability or compatibility. i've not see many issues out of arc control so that's good. - more enterprise feature, encoding and ai. - the gpus needs more open standards this is following that approach. - i'm actually going to call out dx11 has exceeded by far what i as expecting. It's fine the games i've tested o far. - a lot of cool ai tech that can be used for both games, productivity and hobby. - cost effective unlike some other products.
Bought this card to replace my 5-year-old 1080 Ti. It is an absolute performance beast. The performance is great and using in stock settings is absolute silent during normal operation and a smooth sail under load, temperatures never reach about 80c. I play mostly raster games, many of them several years old. That said, I play a few current AAA titles like Cyberpunk and the Witcher III as is a breeze.

Fast, quiet, stable.
- Has handled everything I've thrown at it easily in 1440p at the highest settings. - No sag! This card is laughably large (measure your case!!) and I was preparing to build a Lego support tower, but if there's any sag, it's imperceptible. Its internal support structure is very effective. - Aesthetically pleasing: the giant 'MERC' on top might be polarizing for some, but I think this card looks great. - Decently cool temps: I've gotten mid-60s during gameplay loads and ~70 during menus - no concern about overheating or throttling using its stock settings. Junction has never gone above low 90s.
This card performs very well and works great. Had no problems installing the card, and it was the first one I've ever installed.
The card runs anything I throw at it flawlessly, I especially love playing the new modern warfare 2 at 1440p. I average around 110fps at the highest settings doing this.
Easy co figurative, fast processing, awesome graphics.
stays cool even maxed out....never got above 55c after i set a fan curve in MSI afterburner...BUT my case has 3 140mm and 3 120mm fans in it....its not in a ITX case
Does 1080 with ease, triple fan keeps things cool Excellent price point in today's over inflated GPU market. 2825 MHz boost clock
