Pros: love the design once rgb is turned off. the 16pin adapter is a much more modest look here with 2 pins and not 3/4. lots of cooling headroom as well when you consider the power draw, this thing will never ever ask for more than 280W in my experience, 100% utilization furmark stress tests average at 275W for me (with some 280W peaks) and in gaming loads temps level out at 66-67°C, with average power draw closer to 260W than 270W. this thing crushed 1440p ultrawide as well: in forspoken & c77 @ uw-1440p with all graphics settings on highest consistently delivered at least 75fps (90fps in forspoken). fans do their job and are never noticeably loud.

Cons: price sucks but the 2020/21 ampere gpus with similar performance are all above (in some cases almost twice) what this costs, and its price will only fall as more time passes. not to mention they all will draw considerably more than 260-270W to get the same performance.

Overall Review: efficient and elegant, generous boost clock on this oc as well @ 2745mhz.
