I personally liked the rgb on the side of the card that was displayed in my setup. The options are limited in changing the colors but still a nice touch for those that like it.
The card ran pretty cool and quiet for the most part for 3 weeks.
I had all the updated drivers and did not overclock or change to any custom settings, and it would still randomly just take off and spin fans really loud and get really warm for no apparent reason. If I closed out my game and restarted the game the card would go back to a normal cooler and quieter state.
After 3 weeks of light gaming it suddenly heated up and my pc shutoff and smoke came out of the card and it was dead. Thankfully my pc does not seem to be harmed, but it was extremely scary after just spending $3k building my first rig.
It is hard to recommend this card as it failed after 3 weeks of light gaming with Destiny 2 and Diablo 4. I am gaming on an older Acer 27" 2k monitor with only a 75hz refresh rate as I was till shopping for an upgrade to match this powerful graphics card. This should not be taxing to this card whatsoever. I am unsure if it was just a defective unit or this is a sign of the Asrock quality as it's my first time buying this brand. I can say in 20 years of building pcs and upgrading parts this is absolutely the first time anything has failed on me and it just so happens to be the most expensive component I have ever purchased.
Also one thing to note when purchasing from Newegg through this website you do not qualify for free game promotions or product replacement..only to return and repurchase. Also do not have access to normal Newegg support through phone call customer service. They do however respond through email requests.
That being said with only a 1 year warranty I find it hard to recommend. Back to the drawing board for me.
