  Purchase on 14/04/2013.
  A very high-quality card with many capabilities, sturdy construction with a metal backplate without the need for bracket support (to prevent bending from weight).
  I have tested it on large titles and it produces expected results according to reviewers on YouTube. That is, the card is ideal for 1440p gaming and of course does not lag anywhere in 1080p.
  At idle, the card does not use any of its 3 fans, resulting in zero noise.
  The only negative in my opinion so far is the price, personally I bought it for 589. Obviously, you can't call it a good price, as it's very close to what it should have been when it first came out, and now it's over 2 years old (released Nov 18, 2020). Nevertheless, at the time of writing this review, the market is such that I don't think there are many options for a potential buyer. Especially in the Greek market where everything comes more expensive than official MSRP prices.
  For anyone interested, the product is worth your trust and then some in my opinion. The only factor that everyone will judge of course is the price. I couldn't wait any longer and needed the upgrade (coming from a GTX 1060 3 GB).
  For anyone who finds it for less than 600 euros, it's an opportunity (compared to the competition).

  Together with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, it's jumping!!! Great performance, quite warm, high consumption (our electricity bill will be high, for those who remember).. The upgrade from 6600 was definitely worth it! Highly recommended!!!

  Bought it for 660 euros, two and a half years after its release. You can't really call it a bargain, but considering how things have turned out, I'd say it's still good. Paired with a 5900X on a 1440p monitor, running games on ultra settings, getting 90+ fps in all games. With RT enabled, performance drops by 30-40%, but thanks to FSR, most games are still playable at around 60+ FPS. It's quiet and has headroom for light overclocking. Luckily, my silicon lottery didn't result in any coil whine.

  Bought it and it works out of the box on the silent BIOS preset. So far, the only complaint I have is that it makes coil whining when you push it hard. It's a bit annoying to have my computer next to me, but for those who will have the computer below, they won't hear it. As for performance, I'm satisfied. I can reach around 55-60 fps in 4K on titles like FF7 Remake, Dying Light 2, Resident Evil Village, and Cyberpunk. In terms of temperatures, it stays around 60-70 degrees. Just be careful if you have a small case, as it barely fit in mine, leaving no room at all.

  Coming from the 1080 ti Aorus Xtreme 11g, I have the following to say:

  Update 30.03.21: With the introduction of Ray Tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, the card, with everything on Ultra and Ray Tracing on PSYCHO at 1440p 100% native resolution, has an average fps of 30 and a temperature of 70, with the Junction reaching 88, with the fans at 50%! With Ray Tracing on medium, it reaches 40 fps, making the game more playable, but still falls behind compared to the Ray Tracing of the 3080, which has +10-15 fps at the same settings. In comparison to Metro Exodus, which produces exactly the same fps in RT as the 3080, you enjoy it more there.

  Update 24.03.21: Regarding Coil Whine, I connected 2 PCIE VGA cables, each one with 2x6+2 pins. So, from each PSU cable, I connected 1x6+2 pin to one port and the other 1x6+2 pin from the second PSU cable to the other port, and as a result, the coil whine disappeared and the performance increased by 2% in FPS. This was a solution suggested in the forums to make the card work more stable and prevent coil whine, which can also be applied to other graphics cards.

  Updated 18.02.2021:
  ====================
  Average FPS at 2K Resolution:
  CS GO: 330
  Destiny 2: 159
  Just Cause 4: 301
  Star Wars BattleFront 2: 201
  Red Dead Redemption 2: 89
  ===========================
  1% LOW FPS:
  CS GO: 177 xDDDDDD
  Destiny 2: 88
  Just Cause 4: 144
  Star Wars Battle Front 2: 144
  Red Dead Redemption 2: 59
  ============================

  Continuing,
  The card is huge (about 32 cm) and you can feel the quality of its construction. It weighs around 2 kg and it fit a bit difficultly in my tower. I undervolted the card from 1125mv to 1000mv and overclocked it from 2250 to 2675mHz!!!!! I stress tested it for 8 hours without crashing, with an average temperature of 60 and the fans at 45%. All the settings were done through the AMD software and not through Afterburner.

  The card reached a maximum power consumption of 300 watts at 2675mHz and an average of 140 watts at 2200.

  Pros:
  - Insane overclocking headroom
  - Low temperatures (in Red Dead Redemption, 2K, ultra, 59 degrees with the fans at 0 RPM!)
  - AMD software is simply perfect for all settings, to the point where MSI Afterburner is useless to me.
  - It gave me the exact same performance as the RTX 3090 (in benchmark scores and Red Dead Redemption) at lower temperatures, which is funny considering I bought it for 900 euros while an RTX 3090 now costs 2000 euros.

  Cons:
  - Large card size (32cm) and it took up 3 slots in my tower.
  - Only 2 years of warranty (while RTX cards have 3-4), but in the current times, if it breaks, it will take months to get a replacement since there is nothing available. The same applies to RTX cards.
  - High price, guys, yes, I agree, the prices are now doubled in all RTX and Radeon models, especially when people are selling used 5700XT and 1080ti for 600 euros, you don't have many options for an upgrade.
  - Beta drivers and unstable in many games such as Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront (crashes/flickering etc)

  =============================
  No matter what we do, the price of bitcoin keeps rising (thanks to Elon xD) the duo of AMD / NVIDIA are not producing any more cards (we ran out of Silicon) so the prices are not going to change anytime soon, unfortunately.
