Good GPU, perfect if you get MSRP price

Pros: Good size Low Temps Barely audible even at 100% usage Nice design Very good performance in current 2025 at 1440p, even some reviewers tested at 4k with good perf. Run games good even with RT on fsr4 support looks better than fsr3 Low power usage, arouns 190-220watts Classic 2 8 pcie pin
Cons: Pricier, try to wait as close as it gets to MSRP Even thou it has nice support and perf for RT, still a bit behind NVIDIA
Overall Review: I got the card after deciding to replace my amd rx 6600 that I got from newegg as well. Last games were not perfoming good with it, so I got the 9070 Sapphire Pulse. Has low consume, low temps, high performance at 1440p. Nice support with RT compared to older amd cards. My only con so far will be to price related, tried to wait til you get it with msrp price or at least not higher than 15% over msrp.
Good monitor for the price.

Pros: - Nice color, strong blacks and contrast - Image quality is good - Lot of settings to change colors, improve visibility at night, etc. - 1440p (2560x1440) 165hz (There's a 170hz according to the msi page but I'm guessing some sort of OC has to be made. Haven't check since 5 extra hz for me is not worth the time) - Curved monitor - Height, tilt and swivel adjustments - Menu with joystick style button - While not having speakers you can connect one with 3.5mm audio jacks - Good viewing angles for the price - No Ghosting or Black Smearing (at least not with the configurations I did and if there's one, is not noticeable honestly) - Adaptive Sync support from AMD, not sure with NVIDIA since I don't own an NVIDIA card but it should work as well.
Cons: - Just one DP port, thou there are 2 HDMI ports in case you prefer to use more HDMI - Back part seems plastic hope not a cheap one. Time will tell
Overall Review: I always wanted to try 1440p. Had a 1080p monitor for 14 years, it a had vga connection (using HDMI with a converter) and 60hz. Honestly after switching from 1080p 60hz I don't want to go back. Games looks perfectly crisp and the fps increase is so nice to the eyes. While there's a bunch of options in the menu to adjust colors, quality and so on. For the price you get a really awesome monitor at 1440p 165hz. Like I said in the cons the 170hz seems to be achievable with some sort of OC, haven't read yet but not worth the time the extra 5hz.
Excellent memory

Pros: - Easy to install and works as intended with XMP 2.0 - RGB
Cons: - None
Overall Review: They are very easy to install and it an excellent brand for RAM memory. I had 2x8GB 3200MHz purchased in 2019 and the only reason why I replaced them with 2x16GB its because some bad optimized games where using more than 16gb ending with PC crashing due to lack of memory allocation. After one week of use I don't have any issues anymore with games, wish games were better optimized but that's another story. Recommended 10/10 G.Skill TridentZ brand
Awesome GPU for 1080p and even 1440p

Pros: - Runs cooler. Even for my country which is usually around 32°C, the card on idle stat at 42-45° and full usage goes to 70°C. At nights it goes lower as 60°C for full usage so the card runs coole with no refrigeration cooling. - Runs all current 2023 games without issues. For 1080 they run easily in high/ultra and for 1440p some in mid-high. - Installation is easy. - Quite small compared to other cards. - Is not noisy even with fan at 100% - Its cheaper than 3060 and it performs on the same level as the 8gb version. Also better than 2060 and 2070. ofc depends if the game is better optimized for nvidia or amd as well . Tested with Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Division 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Monster Hunter World, GoW and they all perform excellent in this card. - No RGB. I got enough RGB on the RAM, fans, so no more rgb needed honestly. It could be a CON for people who love RGB on every hardware.
Cons: - Design. While is not ugly at all, it has a very simple design which not so many people will like.
Overall Review: If you want to go for 1080p 60fps+ this is the card. I replace it for previous 580 amd and definitely does the job for mid range cards. Only thing I would change about it would be the design other than that is an awesome card.
