(CPU USED: i7 14700K)I got this card for sub $500, making it a superb purchase, cheaper than a 7900 GRE and better than a 7800 XT. I have used it with both 2560 x 1080p and 3440 x 1440p. Stock it works excellent for 1080p 21:9 gaming, you can feel confident about what you want to play with it. It is certainly an above "60FPS" card for 21:9 1080p and 1440p in most cases when it comes to cinematic, highly graphical games - especially when paired with a powerful CPU.I personally used 2560 x 1080p or UWFHD with this card and was not disappointed at all, however, the 21:9 29"/30" monitor segment is lacking and I eventually upgraded to a Mini-LED 34" 3440 x 1440p monitor.At 3440 x 1440p some titles, which are "cinematic" oriented, may require FSR while using maxed settings, but thats to be expected at this point its either twice or nearly twice the performance cost of 1080p depending on aspect ratio. However, for a sub $500 card, thats not bad. If you're not a cinematic gamer, and tend to play games designed for large audiences, then this card will surely perform excellent even at 3440 x 1440p.Personally, based on the games that I play, I could get away with this card for several years utilizing 3440 x 1440p until the 7900 XTX becomes similarly bargained. This brings up a drawback, if you get this card, your only upgrade choice becomes the 7900 XTX if you're AMD oriented. You'll be paying around $650-$700 for 17% more performance, even less if your card can overclock well. The 7900 XTX, being 34% better, would be a more logical upgrade choice.My overclock grants me 10.6% increase in performance, making the 7900 XT 6.4% better, and the 7900 XTX 23.4% Better without factoring RT capacity at all. Based on cost to performance relativity.This overclock has been stable for over 200 hours of gaming across various stressful titles with no crashing. So I consider it a permanent allowance and therefore design of the card.My overclock is:Power Limit: 20%Clocks: 2600/2700Voltage: 1100mVMemory: 2350 + Fast TimingsSo to sum things up,1. Wonderful Sub $500 purchase if you can find it for that price, new in box.2. A 3 Year warranty with performance that can make you feel comfortable through that time period.3. Overclock can bring it very close to the 7900 XT with confidence.4. 1440p aspect ratio performance is comfortable, but truly shines in 1080p aspect ratios.Things to remember:1. If you invest in this card your only next option is a 7900 XTX or you're be spending more $$ per Performance %2. Might not offer the next gen architecture technology experience, if that concerns you.3. Only viable at a specific price point that may not be guaranteed to always be available

Well it finally arrived after some wandering around in the mail. Just upgrading from an XFX RX 6800XT (that is an excellent card). Had some problems at first with the card. It would crash on the loading screen of The Division 2 over and over. Tried tracing what the problem might be, took a couple of days of research on Google to find some answers and fixes. None of them worked, including changing the associations in Windows. The thing was it would only crash on that one game, which is my main game. Everything else worked except that I could not overclock the card without a crash. Set to default and it would run Cinebench, 3DMark, DaVinci Resolve but not The Division 2. Checked my game folder and ran a scan to repair files but there was nothing wrong. After 2 days/nights (full days with lots of hours) I was ready to contact. customer service and see about a return. I had the latest drives already installed from AMD 23.12.1 for my RX6800XT. I decided to try one more thing, I went into Adrenalin and reset the card to factory setting. It came back online with the latest driver installed and that was it. Everything worked and I could overclock too. I have been through a lot of GPU’s over the years and this is a first for me and every swap from AMD to AMD never had this problem. Once in awhile swapping between AMD and NVIDIA cards there might be a slight hiccup but easily fixed. Back to the RX6950 XT, basically the same size as the RX6800XT but it feels heavier. The card is quiet even when overclocked, undervolted, temps stay low in most extensive programs( I am running it in a Lian Li O11 Air Mini so there is lots of ventilation with 7 fans, not counting the two on the AIO). My AIO CPU cooler fans makes more noise than the card. It’s a powerhouse. I have no complaints with this card now that it is performing so well. These cards are starting to get scarce, I see the price has jumped up to the same price as the RX7900XT and some places are selling it for even higher than the RX7900XT. I’m just glad I got this at a discounted price. After some mis
