I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Bought to replace 2070, installed and started to drive. On tests and in games, the computer began to periodically turn off spontaneously, although there was no overheating. The reason turned out to be in the PSU - 700 watts from a gigabyte, I had to buy a new one. I took EVGA 850 W as a replacement, a week has passed - the flight is normal. So take a more powerful unit and read the specification.
In games and tests, everything flies. Compared to 2070, I didn’t notice much difference in full HD, no WOW! Effect is noticeable. The difference in fps is visible mainly only in 4K resolution (played on TV), in full HD on the monitor the difference is insignificant.
If you have money - buy, the price is more humane

Pros

High quality workmanship, modest design Quiet and cool, does not whistle under load, the noise is negligible In idle time and in office tasks, the coolers are turned off, they are launched only during tests and in games. Coolers automatically turn off when you exit the game All games go without brakes, nice gameplay in 4k There is a mini-backlight - only the inscription GYGABYTE glows

Cons

The price is simply inadequate, but lower than the tops of Nvidia High requirements for the power supply The thickness is declared 2.5 slots, in fact closer to 3, there may be installation problems
