imho, easily the best looking Nvidia card since EVGA left the market
i'm loving the Mercedes Benz grille ripoff and if i had any reason to buy a (still) overpriced card from team green, it would be this one.
that +20% power draw though really is a drag when that was one of the advantages for Lovelace

Wow,beautiful gpu.

What can explain the 6ºC different on Load, between this card, and the ASUS STRIX version? That one is at 63ºC on Load, while the MSI is at 69ºC.

Different coolers and different fan curve configuration.

Yeah that's for sure. I mean I noticed. But this particular MSI model is 'touted' for its design for air flow. Yet the STRIX is a more typical 3-fan config, and is 6ºC cooler. In other words what I tried to say was that the temp on Load for the MSI model seemed disappointing for being this very, very particular design they came up with (or modified a bit from the reference card, I mean). It does look beautiful though, don't get me wrong. But the air flow on the STRIX is apparently better for Load temps (and, well, gaming, in that regard).

Needs a teardown.

Yeah, I would mind seeing some pics of the heatsink

Good review, I have one on the way, it will be my first Nvidia card in over 10 years. I was never into RGB and thought the heatsink looked slick. I'll probably sell the 7800XT after getting this card going.

You're going to love it!

Honestly the best looking GPU on the market right now, hopefully MSI carries that design into the 5k series

The 1 fan is a bit eye popping.
You know, I work on a fan can handle 200 watts of heat.
So 3 and you see I'm about there. 🙄
