  Good card — if you get it at MSRP. Otherwise, it's not worth the price.

  Only buy it at the recommended retail price! Even with impressive performance from undervolting and overclocking, this card doesn’t offer a huge leap compared to the RTX 4080 or 4070 Ti. You won’t notice a major improvement in your overall experience. If you already own a 40-series card, or are considering one, it’s better to skip the 50-series entirely.
  
  Likewise, if you lack experience in fine-tuning through Afterburner or any similar software, you may easily encounter suboptimal GPU performance. This can lead to high temperatures, overheating, and unwanted noise. However, if you're experienced with such tools and know how to fine-tune the power curve, all of this can be relatively easily avoided.
  
  Also, if you have the opportunity to get the Ventus 3X OC Plus and the price isn’t significantly higher, go for the model with the “Plus” suffix.
  MSI has attempted to improve the cooling system in this version.
  This could potentially smooth out some of the rough edges of this card. more
