Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

When I first turned it on, I thought that I forgot to connect the extra cable. power supply to the card, because she didn't make any sounds. I looked closely at the fan - it is spinning! I started the game - a barely audible increase in noise, but no hums, crackles, etc. If the case is closed, it is not at all clear whether the computer is turned on or not.
Online games go without any questions at all, for example, War Thunder in tank battles mode with maximum settings loads the video card processor by 40%, video card memory by 50%, CPU by 15% (at a resolution of 1920x1080, 60Hz). There are, of course, games that are harder, but with this card, you will never have to go below medium settings.

From the strange: without load, when the temperature of the video card is 30 degrees. the fan still runs (at low speeds, but still). There are manufacturers who in this case turn off the fan altogether.

Pros

Excellent performance at a reasonable price. The cooling system is generally silent.

Cons

Compatibility with Windows 10. It turned out that when installing drivers, nVidia checks the version of Windows. And if your assembly is older than 1809, then the installer writes that his pride does not allow him to install the driver for this junk. Personally, I always turn off automatic Windows ates, because. Finding a stable version can be very difficult. I had build 1607, which worked for 4 years without any problems at all. But I had to ate it. The Windows installer said that the current build is 2022. By installing it, the problem with the video card driver was solved, but there were glitches with the network card and fonts. As a result, I spent 2 weeks searching for a normal assembly. I settled on version 1809, everything seems to be in order now. In general, due to the policy of nVidia, a problem appeared from scratch, the culprit of which is not the manufacturer of the video card, but Microsoft.
