Pros: -Overclocks well -Looks good -DLSS has gotten amazing -theyre actually in stock for reasonable prices. -Over built cooling for a 200w card
Cons: -3 small fans on card so when they need to turn they get pretty loud. -The obviously inflated prices -The RGB is kind of lame, just a big Gigabyte logo. Not exactly a flashy brand I want to light up front and center in my case lol. Only one 8 pin PCIe power connector, limits over clocking and boost clocks
Overall Review: I am very happy with my purchase. My particular card overclock extremely well. I am able to get very close to the performance of the 3070 I sold like a dirty scalper for almost twice what I paid, and suffered a year with a 1060 3gb 😂. I am able to get a stable OC scoring 12403 (my 3070 stock got 12650 stock and didnt really overclock well at all) in time spy using simple config in MSI Afterburner: 104% power, +175mhz offset and an incredible +950 memory offset! This allows me to crank all of the games I play at 1440p with the help of DLSS on quality settings in 1440p and get 90-120 fps (Forza 5 Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and even cyber punk 2077 with cranked details and ray tracing at playable frame rates (consistently above 60) paired with a 12600kf. I cant guarantee other cards will do as well as it is always playing the silicon lottery, but most reviews and posts Ive seen confirm that these gigabyte cards especially are capable of incredible memory overclocks, and pretty decent core overclocks, their most limiting factor being power as my card tops out at 215 watts with just one 8 pin which close to the absolute max and means Im constantly drawing 65-75w from PCI slot on mobo, and 150 from the cable! Wish I could see this card with one more 6 pin but that only comes on the PRO and in this market theyd probably just go ahead and charge you for a 3070 cause it will def get VERY close to, or even 3070 stock performance with just a little more power. I am needing to re-think airflow however, as the card stays under 85 degrees but with overclock applied it sounds like a whiny jet engine doing so currently! I think I have too much exhaust and not enough input in my H510 Flow, so hoping that can be fixed. Would be pretty silly to consider custom water cooling a 60series card that I already spent too much on but them fans!!!!. Id much prefer 2 120mm fans over 3 70s. Smaller fans have that distinct whine when they soon fast that sounds right out of 2004 gaming PCs RGB is fun, but wish the RTX logo lit up, and or something on the backplate besides just the big Gigabyte logo. Id say for most people as of this moment in time, the 6600 is probably a better buy, can find them pretty regularly for sub 350, but if you like ray tracing and are ok with DLSS to help you along this card is not a bad choice. Just have to be willing to pay the NVIDIA tax. Of course if you can keep waiting do it! If you have a 1080, 2060super or above, or 5700XT or above just keep holding out a little longer! You missed your window to sell those for $700 so hold out till intel finally enters the market! Probably wont even buy an intel GPU for at least a few years, but hopefully it helps drop all GPU prices!
Overall Review: came in like 4 days dam that was quick. all i have to say
Pros: -Quiet -Stable -Tons of over clock ability (not that I would do that for warranty reasons) -Only single 8 pin required -Runs cold with the tipple fan
Cons: -Not enough RGB
Overall Review: Runs heavy games like Microsoft Flight Simulator in 1440p on max settings with decent FPS. Fortnite gets over 144 fps in 1440p. If you want to over clock (not that I would do such a thing for warranty reasons) you can get the power factor up to 104 and the memory clocks really high. Its a super stable card that runs cold and pretty quiet. Paired with a high end CPU it will play any game on the market in 1440p with decent fps.
Pros: Small but long . 1 8pin for power
Cons: LHR an very minimal LED ' s wish they had more on it to go with my pc build
Overall Review: Did not expect this card to be thin an only 1 8pin for power. The card is pleasing to look at but no over the top LED which i kind of wish they did
Pros: none
Cons: card stopped working in less than 24 hours... probably in my system for maybe an 1-2hrs before the screen went black and system wouldn't turn back on. put in for a replacement hopefully that goes smoothly.
Overall Review: BAD

Pros: Does what it is supposed to do.
Cons: Randomly runs at all out fan speed when I am doing nothing at all. I have tried everything to shut it up shy of unplugging the fans on the board. I understand the need for cooling but not while I am watching videos or working in office. The software and dashboard refuses to control it. Otherwise works great.
Overall Review: Great company, have used their products for years and must have gotten a factory second.
Pros: -Subtle RGB -Quiet -Stable -Great design
Cons: -RGB fusion sucks and bluescreened my PC twice trying to get it to work, used SignalRGB.
Overall Review: I upgraded from a 5700 XT Phantom Gaming D, which gave me so many issues like artifacting, crashing, and general instability. Upgrading to this has been a smooth experience and I love how nice it looks!
Pros: runs any game I throw at it on ultra settings and averages 70/80 fps at 1080p. Red dead redemption 2 and cyberpunk (no Ray tracing) for example. while temperatures never go above 70c. (thanks for the fast delivery) btw
Cons: -could be a bit cheaper
Overall Review: if you game at 1080p and your GPU is older than RTX 2060 super then I would say this is the perfect card to upgrade to. I also heard it is decent at 1440p as well I just haven't had the chance to try it myself.
Pros: - Works really well. I've been able to play all my games at max graphics without the card going above 20 - 25% usage. - Very quiet at all times - Fair price for what I got, though I'd prefer if it was a tad cheaper
Cons: - As said above, the price could be a bit cheaper - If the LHR is still active, that'd be a bit annoying - but as far as I know, they've removed it
Overall Review: Loving it so far, would definitely recommend if you're trying to get more of a budget build (my total build cost was $1,200) but also have a good video card
Pros: Card arrived as described. Card is quite light in weight compared to old Msi dual fan 1070. Good card for 1080p. Rivertuner shows card is pulling rated 220-230watts under full load Light enough dont need a support on end of Gpu.
Cons: Cooling setup is ok for 3 fans. Fiqured it would be hardly breaking 60c but under full load it will run up to 70c+ which I suppose is in spec but I just run a more aggressive fan curve. But considering how light the card weights its likely cut back in cooling or has trimmed heat pipes instead of a nice solid plate against Gpu like the 1070 has. I get 11565 in timespy. Seems average. See some reviews of the card running over 12000 in timespy maybe its likely better cooling solutions allowing higher boost clocks. Also dont like. (other 3060ti cards likely setup like this too) should have been another 8 pin for power instead of pulling near 60watts from the pci-e slot. Thats probably in spec but that kind of power should be pulled from power supply directly.
Overall Review: Overall its good enough for 1080p. Do not recommend for 1440p. Not enough core power for that resolution. I get 11565 in timespy in stock form. Seems average. See some reviews of the card running over 12000 in timespy maybe its likely better cooling solutions allowing higher boost clocks.
