Upgraded from my 1080Ti to this card. This card is an absolute monster for 4k gaming. Together with my 5900X I bring every game to its knees and can play games like BF2042 or Horizon Zero Dawn with remarkable 80-100 FPS even on (not quite) maximized settings.
Under full load the temperature is around 75-77 degrees and when the graphics card is only about 90% utilized it never goes above 70 degrees for me.
I'll be honest, I wanted to buy a RTX 3000, but with the performance (which is very close to the 3090 or without ray tracing is exactly the same) you can absolutely not complain.
The price / performance ratio is in my opinion absolutely fine.
In addition, it should be said that games like Resident Evil Village on 4k Ultra already use over 10GB VRAM (about 12), I therefore recommend NOT to buy a 10GB card but at least 12.

Runs together with a Ryzen 5 2600X, 32GB RAM. CPU now comes to 60-70% utilization, tiptop :)

There are enough tests about the performance on the web.
There is a switch on the graphics card to switch between performance or silence mode.
Unfortunately, there is no switch on the graphics card to turn off the backlight. The lighting doesn't even bother me, but I wouldn't need the color to change constantly.
The AMD drivers are just as unstable for me as the RX 580 and 5700XT. With a monitor everything runs fine, even via HDMI. If I connect my old, smaller monitor via DisplayPort, only this is used at system startup. You can no longer configure the HMDI monitor (it's a TV, unfortunately it doesn't have a DisplayPort) as the primary monitor. There are frequent crashes of the AMD software (driver). After a reboot, the driver was suddenly no longer installed. Unfortunately, I am used to this from the previous generations of AMD GPUs. During this time, I have reinstalled the operating system several times (Win 10+11), changed two x power supply, two x mainboard, 2x CPU. So I exclude that it is due to incompatibility with the rest of the hardware.
