I bought this card for a cool budget upgrade and power efficiency. (183w at Ultra settings with activation of every RTX 50** features provided by this generation of card.) Most triple AAA games on HD can be set at ultra settings with no problems, but beware at 4k resolutions. 4k textures might require more vram. If you have a triple HD screen setup at 5760x1080, (which is less pixel count to generate rather than 4k) you might be satisfied also. American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator 2 at 5760x1080 is an excellent trucking experience with this card. Lastly, MSI mystic light on the card changes colors over time. (If you like that kind of stuff)

Fine performance and value priced. Of course, you can pay a lot more and, presumably, get more but will you notice the benefits? With this GPU, under Win 11 with a Gen 13 CPU, Z790 MOBO and DDR5 memory I get consistent 220+ FPS on full-screen benchmarks at 2560x1440 using highest quality settings. Bear in mind that your CPU is at least as important as the GPU when it comes to graphics performance so don't scrimp there. In my experience too many system builders overspend on the GPU and poor-boy it on CPU. That way leads to disappointment.

- Quiet - Good for the price

-Clean look -Less noise than Astral 5080 under load -ARGB header is great for customizing the look of my PC -Good value at $841 after tax in AZ

Quiet Handles any game in 4k Best looking white 50 series

Looks great big and thick

2 slot card not too big or heavy

Everything is as expected

simple install

It's SFF compatible, thin, and has great performance. It's also inexpensive, and the newly introduced thermally conductive gel is in contact with almost all parts, so it has great cooling power.

Paired with a Ryzen 7 9850X3D 1080p on Ultra gets me 122 fps on Crimson Desert with only 5Gb of VRAM


I got it and I'm happy. Beast of a card. Performs 10% better than the founders/zotac/pny poverty editions. I get bragging rights.

Robust Build and QUALITY! Best value when compared to the other OVER PRICED cards!

Price to Performance , Size , Temperature , Overclock Flexibility , Lightweight , Looks , And Dlss4.

Bought the RTX 3060 to upgrade my i7 7700k to play the new MS flight simulator game. I also beefed up ram to 48 gb to do this, too.

-Nice looking card imo. Nothing flashy, just business. -Easy install. I used DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to remove my old AMD drivers and automatically shutdown my PC, swapped the GPUs, turned back on and downloaded the Nvidia drivers. Not a single issue. Hitting all the benchmarks, good temps, runs like a dream.

Absolute best 1440p card that can easily be put to 4k without issues. Raw power is unmatched at the price and swings way above its weight

+ Price / Performance + Looks best (Gaming Trio) + Really silent and effective cooling + Cool box design

- Cool temperatures - Great performance - RGB (thats able to be turned off with just a switch!)
