Pros: very good price to performance value. Couldn't believe the Passmark score. https://www (dot) videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html Boost clock actually runs at 2550 out of the box

Cons: runs a little hotter than I'm used to compared to other cards I've owned.

Overall Review: I upgraded my system in October of last year, everything but a graphics card. I just couldn't justify the cost for what I would have gotten for a card, on my budget, because of the crazy market at the time. So I kept my old GTX1060 6gig and chugged along. This card obviously out performs the 1060 by a long shot. I play a lot of Battlefield ( 1, 4, 5 and 2042 ). Hands down paired with the Ryzen 5600x I have, really improved the game performance. They just run smoother. Understand what you're getting and understand how to compare products, do your research.

Pros: Great performance for the money, when I bought the card (late July 2022) it was in the same price range as the RX 6600 XT which I had been looking at previously. Build quality is great and is in line with previous Sapphire cards I have had. The cooler has no problem keeping the GPU cool (Though I don't want to take apart the cooler, I would like to know if the vrm and memory is covered by the heatsink. If it was a Nitro cooler I would be confident they are, but having the Pulse cooler I don't know.) The fans are quiet out of the box, they stay under 40% fan speed until the GPU temp is over 76 c.

Cons: As is tradition with Radeon cards, the drivers are hit and miss. After I installed the card, Windows automatically grabbed drivers for it but they were on the old side from March. That being said the older drivers were stable and were only 1 to 2 percent slower in synthetic benchmarks compared to the current drivers in Late July. However I tried the Pro Edition drivers from AMD and they were noticeably slower in synthetic benchmarks than even the old drivers Windows grabbed. The Pro Edition drivers also either blocks or messes up the sensor readings so MSI afterburner couldn't do anything with the card. Of course this isn't Sapphires fault but is still something to consider with any Radeon Card. Personally I think the fan curve is too aggressive with keeping noise down. The card running at stock settings in a well ventilated case and running a consistent synthetic benchmark (Furmark) the temps slowly rose to 75 c and stayed there. That is a perfectly safe temp to run at forever but it bothers me that the card could be cooler. Minor complains is no RGB for those who prefer it, but I would've liked a led on the bard or the Sapphire or Radeon logos having a light to show power is getting to the board. Again very minor.

Overall Review: This is a great replacement for my old RX 580, in general its almost double the performance in real world gaming. I'm currently paring it with a Intel i3-12100F, any modern quad core and up like Ryzen 3000 or 5000 and Intel 10th 11th 12th gen will be just fine with this card. If I had the time and energy I would like to try this card on my older Ryzen 2700 but its running my server atm. My 6700 has great overclocking and undervolting headroom. In synthetic benchmarks like Time Spy, shows a 5.6 percent increase from stock. Combine that with a much more aggressive fan curve and my card stays in the 60 to 65 c range. A few other people have mentioned coil whine but I never noticed it, but I'm not sure if my ears can even hear that anymore. Just something to keep in mind

Pros: Price, power consumption, performance

Cons: None. Maybe lack of RBG if you care about that.

Overall Review: Great purchase.
