i recommend (In case you plan to play/render at 1920x1080) It handles RDR2, REremake2,3, Assassin's Creed Valhalla excellently (high settings - naturally without RTX), MK11, NSUNS4, Genshin Impact, TDPA. All the comments above claiming that it doesn't run GTA or something similar - change the system configuration (specifically the CPU - as it affects how loaded the video card will be). It performs best in a setup with a PSU of at least 600W.

Overall 8.2/10 with my criticism as high as Uncle Vasya's truck.

Suitable for a gamer. All games run at high settings in 60 FPS. Good graphics card, we hope prices will drop by 2019. 8.2/10
Quiet 8/10 Powerful 8/10 Cool 8/10 Beautiful 9/10 Comfortable 8/10
At night, it's barely audible. GTA 5 can't handle with anti-aliasing, temperature didn't rise above 67 degrees, the red dragon 228/10 might not fit in a small case. Change thermal paste every 2-3 years and it's fine.

good model, I liked it

Until I installed a monitor with support for 2K resolution, I thought I wouldn't have to replace this graphics card for several more years, as it handles almost everything in 1920x1080 on ultra settings, sometimes even without turning on the fans. However, it's not powerful enough and lacks enough video memory for 2K.
Sufficient flow Rate for the vast majority of games, does not heat up, does not make noise
Resolutions of 2K and higher put a lot of strain on the card; the card is ideal for a resolution of 1920x1080.
