Excellent Value

Quiet card, can't be heard over my case fans, and temps stay in check even after hours of playing. The card runs between 2300 and 2500MHz depending on the game. I'm gaming at 1440p, this in a great upgrade from my RX 5700 XT. Currently playing Far Cry 5 at max settings and averaging 200+ FPS.
Great upgrade

Upgraded from a GTX1070 and this has been an incredible jump. Really quiet under a normal gaming load and the fans don't spin at all at idle. Well worth it at this price
If you're not keen on the RGB there's a toggle switch on top of the card that turns it off entirely
I use it at 3440x1440 and it seems excellent at that resolution
Great Deal!

This card is great!
I'm gaming on 3840x1600 - and it's quite an upgrade from 1080ti.
The quite itself is fairly quiet and stays cool. Some of the recent driver updates improved its performance - so if you're looking for reviews of the card, look for those that are from last couple of months to get an accurate picture.
There is slightly obnoxius RGB light on the side of the card - but you can download software from Asrock website to disable it for good with a click. I was concerned about the card fitting in my case - Fractal Design Torrent Compact - which has GPU max length exactly the same as this card (330mm) - but it has fit without an issue - leaving some clearance between the card and the front fan.
Choosing this card with the upcoming release of Ryzen 7000s is more of a reason-driven approach, rather than getting the newest thing. From my perspective - at my resolution, the card is giving me enough FPS in games I play. Having better Ray Tracing support would be great - but from the looks of it, 7900XTX will also not offer a buttery smooth RT performance. From this perspective getting this card, with decent new releases bundled in seemed like a smart move.
