The fastest consumer graphics card of its generation, attached to a power connector that has been melting in a meaningful number of cards. A repair shop reported fixing around 200 a month.
This entry is written from the 4 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
It depends on how you will use it. 69% would buy it again, which means roughly 31% would not. Connector melting has recurred rather than been solved.
Performance is untouched. What changes is awareness — connector failures cluster after months of use, not at installation.
Connector melting has recurred rather than been solved. Failures have been reported after a year of normal use. Repair services exist specifically for this failure.
Worth it for: 4K high-refresh gaming; AI and 3D work that needs the VRAM; People who will check the connector is fully seated. Think twice if: Your case or power supply is marginal; You game at 1080p or 1440p; You would not monitor a known failure point.
