Pros: -FPS is amazing (without Ray tracing on)-LED lights customizable-Runs cool under load (70 degrees with ambient temp around 21C)-Support bracket included necessary as this thing is a monster- Playable FPS with Ray tracing at 1080p-Overclocks to a stable 2450Hz which translates to consistent 50+ FPS @ 4k
Cons: - Ray tracing drops FPS under 30 in any application at 4k (haven't tried anything at 2k)-Ray tracing doesn't look good-no DLSS equivalent-all the issues I had with the 5000 series are still present in this (i.e. Final Fantasy 13 crashes 100% of the time without applying a patch, never happens with Nvidia GPUs)
Overall Review: I won't rip on this card too much as I'm very happy with it over all, and I'm glad I managed to find a next gen GPU in the midst of this insane shortage.That said, if you're like me and happen to find this GPU, ill write this review to help you decide if you want to jump on this or wait for something else.My system configuration is: Ryzen 5 2600, 16 RAM @ 2666hz, nvme, SATA SSD and HDD for storage on the cheap Asrock B450 HDV-R 4.0 (which I recommend only if you plan to run everything at stock and you're on a budget). I upgraded from an Rx 5600 XT. Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 90+ FPS average highest settings without Ray tracing, and around 50-60 FPS with Ray tracing on. I found Ray tracing looks terrible on this game (at least with AMDs implementation) so I left it off at 1080p.4k I got consistently 55-60fps without Ray tracing at highest settings and under 30 with Ray tracing on. My monitor is 60hz at 4k so this was really good.Control is one of my favorite games currently and ray tracing on it actually looks good and its around 50FPS with it on at 1080p. Without Ray tracing I got around 110 FPS at 1080p which was so butter smooth I loved it (I could only get 60 at best on my Rx 5600xt). I also have a 144 Hz monitor so it was nice to actually use some of those refreshes!At 4k it becomes unplayable with Ray tracing dropping to below 20FPS and under 10 depending on where you're looking. Without Ray tracing I got consistently between 50-60fps which is perfect as my freesync range is 40-60.I do want to point out that these games, along with resident evil 3 remake, all consumed over 10GB of VRAM as I tested these games, some as high as 13GB!! I'm not sure why Nvidia decided to make the RTX 3080 with 10GB of VRAM but this card having 16 GB is a real plus from what I've seen!Overall, I really love this card. It's a huge leap in performance from my 5600 which was marketed as the "ultimate" 1080p GPU. It really wasn't. I could barely get decent FPS on that thing and for the longest time I thought it might have been my CPUs fault for the slow frames. Switching to this card shows that it was the GPU. If you have to settle for this card and you're used to a mid range cards performance, you won't be disappointed (unless you're looking for Ray tracing performance then you're better off waiting for the RTX 3080 which works better at this-so I've read- and is cheaper). But I would suggest that you wait for the RTX 3080Ti which is rumored to have more than 10GB of VRAM and that will be necessary at 4k (unless you use DLSS) which isn't true 4k but (I've read) you can hardly tell the difference .Hope this review helps!
Pros: Great card. Includes a support bracket.
Cons: It's huge. Needs two dedicated 8 pin PCIE power connections
Overall Review: Awesome RX6800 but pricing on the AIB cards it a little bit out of whack.
Pros: Replayed some of my older games and the graphics are just at a whole new level for me. You remember the first time you saw a really really nice TV and how it blew you away well this gpu will probably do that to.... especially if you didn't already have something this high end before.
Cons: The gpu support bracket. Where the holes are for mounting with the thumbscrews to the case they didn't screw a hole in one of the positions for the slots....so that one plate is just hanging out in there with a little bit of pressure and that's all. I could remove the plate but then I'd have a big long open slot.
Overall Review: Would I recommend yes Would I buy it again.... cant afford that twice but otherwise yes and no... but only because if I ever do need to buy another gpu it will hopefully be in along time and I'd get what's current like I did now. And if there was something I'd like changed it would simply be for it to be cheaper
Pros: At 99% load with 30 % fan speed Im the die temp was 58 and a junction temp of 69 degrees.
Cons: It was 100% above MSRP
Overall Review: Very happy with this card. Its stable with an under volt of 1005 MV and an over lock that seems to settle around 2450ish. The lighting effects are cool if your into rgb stuff. Once again my faith in MSI is strong. I was rocking a 1070 from MSI till this upgrade and that card was solid too.

Pros: Cons Temperature Silent
Cons: Poor RGB effects because MSI Mystic Light is a poor RGB sofware Blacxk Screen during a few months due to MSI bios
Overall Review: I brought this card march 2021 and in some games I get Black screen. I was not the only one, many users report black screen and have to reset PC. But the problem came from the bios, who were solved by MSI in september 2021, so I go to Techpowerup, and after the bios update she's works well from

Pros: Fast Lots of VRAM Smart access memory Ray tracing is beautiful
Cons: High price Limited quantity
Overall Review: Great graphics card, would recommend to buy
Pros: I grabbed this at $579.99 and it was a pretty decent deal at that price. Huge heatsink and triple fans to keep this thing cool, length of my forearm. I only suggest to make sure it fits the case!
Cons: The gpu support bracket could be better, to be easier to install and supported the gpu more.
Overall Review: Great card if you find it at a reasonable price.

Pros: -The performance is very good and I like the design -Seems to run pretty cool -Comes with a nice support bracket -Couple RGB zones
Cons: What is wrong with the fans?!?! The fans make a sort of ticking or vibrating sound, maybe bad bearings? I haven't quite figured it out, but there is some annoying ticking sound coming from the GPU when under any sort of load. I ordered two cards and they are both making the strange noise.
Overall Review: Although the performance, design, and cooling seem to be very good, I would still NOT recommend this card given the fan noise alone. Who knows, maybe the one you order won't have this issue. Maybe it's my install somehow?! I'm wondering if a return is in order.
