Type of review

So, I am writing this review again - now after 6+ months. Bought a new one, of course. Overclocking is small: GPU 2870 MHz, video memory 2240 MHz, 1200mV, S. A.M. & Rebar. Fan settings on the screen. Such overclocking can give approximately +10 fps. Games tested: AC Valhalla (ultra) 80 to 120 fps (100 mostly) and 1900-2200 rpm. RDR2 (High+Ultra) ~90 fps and 1800 rpm. Control (high) 75-88 fps and 2022 rpm. God of war (high) 98 fps and 2022 rpm. Cyberpunk (high + Fidelity FX) 90-95 fps and 2500+…

Pros
  • Decent video card for games in 1k (aka 1080p/FullHD). Judging by the benchmarks, it is not significantly ahead of the 3060-ku and is often better than the 3060ti (if we take into account only the resolution of 1080p and without any rays). Rumor has it that the 3060ti has hynix chip disease. So: - good FPS at maximum graphics settings from 80-90 to 100-120 FPS depending on the game. - normal cooling, in which the fans are almost inaudible at "high" graphics settings (at "ultra" already 2022-2200 rpm are audible), while T (hot spot) is not higher than 80-82 ° in principle. In general, the cooling system of MSI Gaming X, as far as I know, is not bad, a little worse than that of Red Devil. - the complete absence of any problems with the driver (I use AMD Adrenalin 22.8.2), there are no artifacts and other things (Win10). By the way, I have been using AMD Radeon cards since 02202222 and in Win10, starting from driver 21.3, I have not observed any glitches for 2 years. - there is no obvious squeak of throttles. But there was a beep in the AC Valhalla menu and a little in the game itself when the map was new. Almost disappeared after a couple of days. - better performance/price ratio than Nvidia in the same category. - the ability to play in 2k (1440p) resolution at high/ultra settings, but in this case FPS drops to ~65-80, but the noise of the turntables increases a lot (2500+ rpm). But it's better to take a more powerful card: 6750xt/3070.
Cons
  • - an unfinished driver for Win7 (21.092022.01 until now), which in Explorer and Windows windows produces almost constant stripes at the bottom of the screen. (But to be honest, this shortcoming was a plus for me, because thanks to him I completely switched from the old buggy seven to W10. I just installed a W10 image with cut ates, spying; and with admin rights, in addition to the old design (StratIsBack /ClassicShell) and now I am happy with the "top ten", which I could not stand before)). - after 2 months of use, one fan began to buzz, which I unscrewed and replaced with a fan from MSI Mech of the same diameter. It didn't get better/worse. Fans are consumables.

Switched to red for the first time. The card satisfied me completely and lived up to my expectations in terms of performance. I note the squeak of throttles at high FPS, in adrenaline you can limit the maximum frame rate, which completely solves the problem. Of all the minuses, there are problems only with the software and video card drivers, judging by the forums, the problem is old. Before that, I used the GTX 1060 6g, deleted the old drivers through the Display Driver Uninstaller program.

Pros
  • - The map came new (not surprising, they began to release not so long ago) - Great for full hd in modern games, you can even in QHD, 4k falls short. - Cold. In FurMark, the temperature did not exceed 66 degrees.
Cons
  • - The problem was with the latest Adrenalin 22.8.2 Optional driver version. After the reboot, in some applications (not games), friezes began to go and fell into a blue screen. After installing the recommended driver, the problem went away, but the monitor stopped waking up, otherwise the video driver error occurred, so I removed the screen off. Perhaps the problem is due to the use of an HDMI-DVId wire, although this is all a figure.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

This video card is just a fire, because it was necessary to replace the AMD 480RX that had worked for 5 years, it was bought due to the low price. At the time of purchase in early December 2022, it cost 27K. I will not talk about the characteristics, etc., I will say this! installed it in the computer and forgot . playing at high settings drags nothing, nothing slows down, in principle everything suits, for my money, again, at the time of purchase, a great option.

Pros
  • Powerful, quiet, cold
Cons
  • No

I drove the video card in benchmarks, everything suited the temperature ceiling of 65 degrees in the stress test. Came on Samsung and I'm very happy with it. So far so good, I've been using it for less than a month.

Pros
  • Good video card, quiet and powerful. According to the characteristics, everything is as stated.
Cons
  • I put 4 stars because it arrived not in the factory film (consider it not packed) and the box was a little dirty (or there were scuffs, I don’t know), because of this moment I got a little nervous and had to check the video card.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Has pros: Cold. Which, however, is logical, based on the size of the radiator and consumption of a maximum of 165 watts. In this mode, the temperature barely reaches 60 degrees (80 degrees hotspot) with a processor consumption of 60 watts (i3-12100f) and a sufficiently ventilated case with 3 120mm 1200 rpm turntables for blowing and one with similar specifications for blowing. In terms of performance, it will be slightly weaker than 3060 Ti, and it's better not to turn on RT - this card is…

The worst purchase in my life, don't repeat my mistake

After 3 hours of dancing with a tambourine, I took it off, put it back in the box and took it to the reception of the market. I bought a 3060 inserted, immediately works without problems. I thought that AMD's problems were a thing of the past, because I've been installing ryzen for 5 years and there are no problems. There are some problems with the cards, or I just got unlucky.

Pros
  • I liked the price, the execution itself from msi.
Cons
  • Didn't get to use it properly. Lags, friezes

It came new and packaged, but there was a box on the box. I passed all the stress tests with a bang, it works with a 600 W power supply, this was one of the main criteria (except for noiselessness and missing the mining season) why I took it, and not 6700 - I didn’t want to change the power supply either. Its pros: Quiet, quieter than gigabyte's previous three-cooler rx 6500 xt, although I'm very picky about noise, since the computer is in the bedroom. The performance is good even for 2k for…

Got pros: Cool design, quiet (in idle it does not turn the fans up to about 40 °) in Valhalla games, RDR 2 temperature is 50-70 ° for ultrasound 50-70 frames in ultra gives fullHD With its cons: I did not understand whether it is possible to change the backlight of the logo or not
