I switched from my old card because of a driver issue when i was running emulators and I wanted to make sure I got a card that woild last me. This card is extremely powerful and everything I could need. Its incredibly efficient, I rarely see power draw go over 270W while performance is crazy. It runs really quiet and cool. Really great card at a competitive price. It is basically the size of a 4090 so make sure it fits in your case.

Runs great so far after about a week of owning it. I would advise getting a GPU support bracket or stand for it as it is pretty hefty. Its adaptive fans are also great for light usage to heavy load gaming. Gaming on this with a 1440p 165Hz monitor is great as I can game on High-Ultra settings on the most recent AAA games with around 100+ fps. Playing games on a 4k tv is also a blast as well. In the box comes with a 16pin adapter for the older 12pin gpu power cables so if you have any that you use already, you don't have to go out and buy a new cable. However, make sure you have 3 12pin cables for the adapter.

After installing GPU and trying the delivered cable and 2 cables from cablemod still getting no signal to monitor. Tried GPU driver and firmware updates still have the same issue. Also tried MB firmware update It’s odd because if I restart the PC works no problem. I tried another GPU 3060 and it worked fine. Seems to be this 4080. Reached out to Gigabyte and not helpful. Also replaced PSU with 1000 watt Corsair. Very frustrating to spend $1100 on GPU that doesn’t plug and play as expected! My Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZvWZqR

Packaged was nice and device has worked beautiful. Would recommend. For security I had my product delivered to the store to mitigate any shipping problems.

Great card that has drastically improved the performance of my machine. The mounting bracket that comes with this card is a bit strange. If you have a USB header or a different header near the mainboard mounting screw holes, this cards mounting bracket may be blocked by those headers. Just beware.
