A great card

Pros: - Killer performance at the price point. - A huge upgrade for anyone coming from a mid-range 20 series NVIDIA card. - Seems perfectly stable after putting it through its paces for a few days. No visual issues or crashes. - 2 DP and 2 HDMI ports. Plenty of room for extra monitor setups. - Sturdiest backplate I've ever seen. This thing is a beast and keeps the card from sagging at all. I don't even need the GPU support bracket in my case that I was using with my previous card, and I would remove it if it weren't for its RGB cool factor. - The beefy cooler keeps the card nice and cool. I've even backed the fan curve off to keep the noise down (see cons) and I still haven't seen the hotspot reach 85C even while playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Escape from Tarkov. - Understated look if you're into that. Just one RGB Gigabyte logo on the side of the card.
Cons: - The default fan curve makes this thing really, and I mean REALLY loud. This trait isn't worth docking an egg though, as it's easily addressable with a fan curve alteration either in Gigabyte's Control Center software (not included with the card) or your software of choice. Control Center does let you control the RGB on the side of the card, however.
Overall Review: This is a huge upgrade coming from a 2070 SUPER. I'm only in the first week of use, but I'm super pleased with the performance and all of the pros I listed above. My only qualm is that this card is crazy loud out of the box. That being said, it's an easy fix with a fan curve adjustmentone easily made under good conscience with how efficient the cooler is. I will mention that if you're interested in this card, and you're coming from an NVIDIA model like I didswitching to AMD's Adrenalin software comes with a bit of a learning curve. It has some great features (ones I wish NVIDIA had after seeing them), but it's not as intuitive to navigate as the GeForce overlay is. It just takes some exploration and tinkering is all.
Fast but weirdly loud

Pros: Standard installation. Fast speeds within advertised range.
Cons: Drive activity is very audible. I saw some other reviews mention this and figured it probably wouldn't be what people were making it out to be, but MAN this thing is noisy. It's not a deal breaker by any stretch, and I'll probably get used to it quickly. Even so, with modern HDDs being virtually silent, I haven't heard a drive this loud in 10-15 years or more.
Overall Review: Fast but loud. Because it's so noisy, I'm undecided if I would buy another one of these for future expansion. Got it on a huge sale though, so a little drive ticking is easily tolerable.
