The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

According to the results, after all, 5 stars, not 4, although basically this is my emotional assessment. I must say, I'm incredibly happy with the purchase, especially in contrast to my previous card. New horizons of graphics and games. Emotions are, of course, priceless. But due to the lack of adequate cooling in the graphics card itself, at least some good cooling in the case will be needed (4 fans, apparently, this is a minimum).

PS. Chips caught by Hynix. I don't mind and I'm not upset at all, but again, for someone it may be important. Now it seems that such a strong prejudice against Hynix is ​​more of a stereotype. On the other hand, no stereotype appears out of nowhere.
The revision of the card, by the way, is 2022. Here, too, I’m more likely to keep you informed, I’m just wondering where the shops take such old women from .

Pros

+ Performance. Moved from 1650 and still can't quite believe my eyes. The card is incredibly powerful, cyberpunk on high with ray tracing is taken out 65-70 fps. (Without ray tracing, it's easy for a hundred). In most shooters on the same high presets, it's easy for 200 fps. Warzone 2, tarkov - about a hundred. This is all in full hd, and other resolutions do not interest me. + Price. Grabbed on Black Friday for 31990 and was terribly happy. It is clear that everyone has their own standards, but for me the card is definitely more than worth this money. + Quiet. Although this is not particularly important for me, because I'm sitting in headphones, and the system unit is under the table, probably, for someone it can be significant. + Convenient software msi. Overclocking and undervolting capabilities (the card is still quite hot, more on that in the shortcomings) + OC version, which (again) means the potential for consistently high frequencies in games and excellent power limits.

Cons

— Temperatures. The maximum degrees that I saw in almost three weeks of active use are 70-71. I must say that this is with a significant and prolonged load (God of war) and with a little excessive overclocking. Then I created a more comfortable profile in the afterburner by lowering the frequencies and slightly increasing the voltage. On average, the card under load in games keeps 60-65 (depending on the "severity" of the game). This is subject to 4 fans in the case (deepcool cc560) and winter outside the window. Too much, although the 30th series of cards was originally famous for its "hotness". But besides this, apparently, the msi themselves screwed up with their coolness. This is especially clear if you look at the cooling of the same 3060ti, but with three fans and from asus tuf. There 55-57 with a serious load is the absolute maximum. But the price, on the other hand, is quite different.
