I've been buying MSI for the first time since I started building my own systems (and it's been a while) and I don't regret it. I've been using them for a long time now, and I've never regretted it. Everything is very well done, from the card itself, which has a great look and offers fine tuning of the bios, to the very clear documentation.
Good map overall.
Well supplied.
Just one small issue with the sound:
Digital output: ok
Analog output: no sound on the subwoofer.
I love the graphic bios with automatic settings for overclocking.
The card is well built, easy installation with a 3700X and an already updated bios.
Small downside. The management of the microphone by the realtek software or by windows 10 version 1903 is inefficient and I can't amplify it. However, this is not the main purpose of this card, so we adapt.
I would recommend it for gaming and heavy applications with a good processor.
