Upgraded from an ROG STRIX 2080ti to this and a 13900k, and the performance bump is massive. Where previously I was hitting 40-45FPS with Raytracing on and High settings in games like Darktide at 3440x1440, I now hold at between 110-120FPS, with 1% lows of 80FPS, maxing out every setting. It is a brute force monster--games with complaints about poorly optimized performance will cause you no grief. Redfall hovers at 100FPS with every setting maxed. Fallen Order is at 80+. Atomic Heart is over 150. The cooler performs extremely well, rarely being audible over the sound of my case fans. At 99% GPU utilization, 80% VRAM consumption, and fans at 100%, GPU package temp maxes out at 85C, with VRAM modules usually being about 10C above package. I have two complaints about this card, and they are very minor. The first is that the "octopus" cable that's included is pretty short. I'd have liked to hide the 4-into-1 spaghetti mess inside the PSU shroud of my case, rather than have that be so visible. If you have a PSU with the dedicated 12+4 connector, or don't mind your cable management as much, it'll be a non-issue. The other is with the card's RGB. The Spectra RGB system Zotac uses requires an additional connection, rather than being managed through the PCI lane. Unlike ROG's cards, you'll need to connect this to a board header to get control of the onboard RGB, including turning it off. Otherwise, it remains "PC Blue," which may clash with your color scheme if that's a priority. Overall a great buy, and expect years of "Max Settings" gaming out of this card before it feels the pinch.
