Pros: Runs every game flawlessly at 1440p. RE, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, Wolfenstein and Bioshock series are the kind of games I play and the card renders the newest ones beautifully and even perks up some of the older titles a little. Runs my Oculus Rift flawlessly as well.
The fans stand at attention, spool up ultra quiet even under heavy load and come to a dead stop as soon as I log off of a game which are all huge pluses having an open air layout.
Got it paired with a Seasonic Focus 850w power supply which more than handles the demand.
Cons: It is large and heavy. I went from a 1080GTX (pictured above the 6800XT). Had to mount it vertically and have a wine cork under the 3rd fan to keep it level because it didn't look right horizontal in the case with a card stand.
Now for the ugly part but it is not the card's fault, the price. $1500 out the door, taxes and all is about how much I spent on my last entire upgrade. Is it worth it? To me yeah but I'm a tech addict. If you have a good bit of life left on your old card I'd hold till mid 2022.
Overall Review: Overall I'd recommend this card to anyone who has the change to spare and room in their case. If you're on the fence and can wait, definitely do so.
It's a great card and is leaps and bounds above what I upgraded from.

It was $525 with taxes during that zip deal the other week. I was going to buy it and then all of a sudden the next morning it was out of stock... I'm not going to pay $550 + 6.5% tax when I could have gotten it for 525 shipped.
With NextGen right around the corner it's got to be under 500 bucks.
Winter is coming for europe, no gpus for them then, but more for the rest of us.
What a terribly insensitive and 100% accurate observation to make....
Their income will be lower globally than they've had in years. Effectively meaning after their best year ever they will have the biggest fall ever. It's definitely going to be interesting.
