Pros: Works perfect, runs super cool, no issues!
Overall Review: Good luck getting one! I would buy another!
Pros: No issues during installation. Good card. I'm not a big 4K gamer. I like my 1080p. I can pretty easily get to high\ultra settings on 1080p in just about all games. I jumped to this card from an older 960 card. Has some configurable lights, but that isn't something I pay attention to.
Cons: I don't like the Dragon Center software when it comes to 3rd party software updates. It works well enough for updating MSI software suite apps, but will fail installation (or even sometimes give false success messaging (?) for drivers\software that aren't MSI owned. I don't want my video card to try to update my Intel drivers, or offer me Norton, etc. I want the video card to stay in its lane and focus on 1st part software updates. This current update feature feels overbuilt by reaching out beyond MSI owned software, and Dragon Center doesn't have a high enough installation success rate for me to trust it. For non MSI software...at the most...have Dragon Center suggest the updates by only giving me a link to the site to get the updates myself.
Overall Review: I would recommend this card. It'll scream through just about anything at 1080p. Although I have 4K television, I rarely use 4K applications. On the few times that I have used 4K I have been satisfied. Be careful with Dragon Center software when updating\installing software that is not MSI 1st party owned.

Pros: This is a fantastic gaming card. I'm running many games at 4k low or 2k ultra. There are even some games, like Titanfall 2, I'm running at 4k ultra 60fps. In my opinion, this is the best performance to budget card you can get. No dollar waisted. The 12G of VRAM really helps. There are some games that will use over 10G of VRAM when I'm playing. You will use that extra VRAM and its very nice to have. There isn't a game out there that doesn't look fantastic on this card, especially on a 4k tv.
Cons: The fans can get a little bit loud when the card is working really hard. Its not irritating by any means. If you're wearing headphones, you wont hear it, and you probably won't hear it over the sound of your tv. I used to have a GTX 1660 Super, and this one is just a little bit louder than the other one. It really isn't a big deal though, and I wouldn't let that stop you from buying this card.
Overall Review: You can buy a 3050 but you really aren't getting the performance in games that you want for the amount of money you're shelling out. You wanna crank up the settings and enjoy the games at its fullest. You could buy a 3070, but you'll be spending possibly hundreds of dollars more for only a small performance boost. You could spring a few extra dollars for the 3060ti, but you're gonna want that 12G of VRAM. You will find your self using it on some games. The 3060 is the sweet spot. You get the excellent performance you're looking for, without spending too much excess for marginal performance gains.

Pros: No wasted dimensions, very solid housing for dual fans- not fragile when installing- not too demanding from power supply- square 8 pin cord was easy to find- got along well with newest driver- doesnt add noticeable heat after several hours of moderately intense graphics settings- happy with cost/performance
Overall Review: Would definitely recommend to buyers who are okay with high 80s or low 90s in the performance index by the time they would be installing this.

Pros: Runs well for 1080p gaming, 100+ fps with max settings on certain games. Quiet, no noticeable noise while playing. Runs at ideal temperatures, 75°C at 100%.
Overall Review: Generally very happy for obtaining this GPU at a relatively decent price, 497.99$ not including tax and other fee's. Way better than my GTX 1650 I used to own. If you're thinking of wanting a graphics card capable on running max settings, on a 1080p monitor then this is it. Any other gpu that scales higher might be overkill, though the 3060ti would guarantee you reach those extra frames for watching a video on the side while playing.

Pros: - Can handle absolutely anything at 1080p. - Still good performance at 1440p.
Cons: - Reason for 4 eggs is because the first card was faulty. It would crash the entire machine after about 20 minutes of sustained load. I was issued a replacement after returning the faulty card and haven't had an issue since.
Overall Review: Overall it's an excellent performing card and should age very well.

Pros: decent price for good performance
Overall Review: Upgraded from the gtx 1060 I got in 2018 (I am on a budget) and this seemed like a logical step up from what I had. Super easy install, didn't need any new pci connector or anything. running Baldurs Gate on ultra quality getting 140 fps easy. love it

Pros: Well made, works as expected, good packaging. Bought to play FS2020 and does this well.
Cons: My one complaint is in the warranty process. You unpack and install the card, check that the box has the S/N, verify that it works and close up your system. You return the system to it's shelf, and reconnect all the cables. Next you turn on the computer, go online to register the card. The problem is they don't tell you that a hidden code is on the card that is required to register. No warning on the box on instructions to record it before install. Pull everything out and disassemble case to get this secret code. So if buy MSI components, check the warranty requirements prior to use.
Overall Review: Great product but lack of care in customer interaction.
