So... I have this card and I am extremely happy with It. It runs everything I've thrown at it (including cyberpunk) at 4k. It is super quiet in my case. I would say it is well nigh perfect. It is expensive. I would have liked to paid less, but considering I got a 3 year warranty (sapphire is 2) and didn't pay actual scalpers more than the manufacturers price to get it, I'm mostly happy. Of course I had to buy a combo that newegg apparently changed their combo policy the day before I ordered this and I'm now stuck with an itx Intel board for my Ryzen build. Seriously, does anyone have a 3 slot monster like this on an itx Mobo? Why would you do that??? I would have bought the card with no combo, but I never saw it for sale as a single item. Shady as the day is long. If anybody wants a ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 LGA 1200 Intel Z490 SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard, please reach out. I'll sell it for what it cost me plus shipping.

This is an error on this review. The rgb header is an output, not an input. I confirmed this with Asrock. I wish this was not the case as is like to have all my rgb controlled by a single program, but that seems impossible.

Thanks, I've fixed this in my test. Looks like ASRock updated their website since my review to clarify this feature.
