I was worried about GPU drivers – it seemed everyone said “Avoid this card” due to it. Not an issue for me – I use Linux. AMD have very good open source drivers. (I do also use Windows and it seemed to perform well under both.)
One thing to note – the fans don’t spin all the time. They only spin when put under load. I was worried when I booted it up for the first time and saw that the fan would spin up for a second and then stop. This is by design and there is nothing wrong with it. During gaming, it ramps up but it’s barely noticeable.
I paired it with a Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB of 3200MHz RAM and a 500 watt PSU.
Performance is pretty good. I play older titles and they all ran fine. I got 60fps most the time without any drops in frames. The frame rate was more consistent than my 1050 Ti and I didn’t notice any issues.
It does get a little warm when put under load. My computer is usually pretty cool, but this GPU made it feel like a furnace. My case was hot to the touch and it concerned me a little. Though it didn’t seem to throttle.
I presume the card would be good for video editing. That 8GB of VRAM would come in handy for storing video streams, but I’ll have to see.
Overall, it’s a good card for the money.

Wow ordered one day, delivered and I’ve put it in my new PC already. All I can say is it works well, graphically looks fine but I have not installed the new games I want to run yet so cannot comment on just how good it is. Well packed and easy to put into my machine.
