If I had known this was all you had to spend to play your most demanding games on the highest, or nearly highest settings... If you’re on a budget build get this, rather than a RX 580 or 590, it’s almost the exact same price. Plus the new AMD GPU architecture WILL HAVE RAY TRACING, but will require some driver updates. I really didn’t expect to be able to max out Red Dead 2!? averaging around 60 FPS which looks smooth as can be. Less demanding games perform even better. This has half the number of processing/cuda cores, and the memory bandwidth is quite a reduction from the 5700XT that was my last purchase (btw the 5700 performs on par with a RTX 2070 non super) But despite those shortcomings, this card really pulls through and I’m glad I got the 8 gig version. Currently I’m using 5.2 gig on that sliding scale, some cards don’t perform well once you go over the 50% mark. So I was very surprised when I was able to put that slider up to almost 6gig/75%, and still got smooth performance. Has a dual bios switch, not sure what exactly it changes

Love this GPU. It’s very quite and installation was super easy. Runs all my applications and current games with ease. Great price for a quality card.

Sorta a last minute purchase just after Black Friday and right before the Christmas hustle and bustle for electronics. I built a cheap 1080p gaming PC because 1) HD has enough clarity for me 2) you can't beat the price. I could only splurge on my CPU so, I went with this little black guy. This card will run COD: Modern Warfare at next to max settings pretty well with a above average CPU but, you can tell it is lacking, slightly. This GPU processer series should be considered a good-enough-fix upgrade with an optimistic idea for a beefer upgrade later on when faster GPUs are back in stock. All in all, not a bad piece of hardware for the amount of greenbacks paid. I would put three stars but, this particular does NOT have the little switch on it for normal and OC performance like it's older brothers do, which makes it a little easier to setup.
