Let me start by saying this do not pay attention to people saying that the card has problems with the drivers, before I bought this card I read a ton of reviews here saying that the drivers were unstable and the card crashed and a lot of bad things and I said well lets take that risk, and boy it was worth it. This card is a monster literally it will crush every game you throw at it, I haven't tested the card to it's full potential but I've been playing Assassins Creed Syndicate, World War Z, Fortnite and Watch Dogs in 1080p 60ghz everything ultra details witch is like a walk in the park for this card, always pushing past 100 fps.
I installed my last drivers and I had no problems, the only thing I can say about this card is that it is powerful man. I upgraded from a RX 580 8GB and I can feel the difference.
Physically this card is so big and it looks aggressive, I feel like if I throw it at somebody I might cause serious injuries you can use this thing as a weapon. It has RGB lights and those are bright, look really nice. The backplate is awesome it has a bull craved on it and it lights up, also the back ports are lit in red. There is a software Powercolor devilzone that let's you configure the lightning of the card, you can configure the lights to do all sorts of things like pulse, flash, blink but the coolest in my opinion is smart, this lightning mode varies it's intensity depending on the load or temperature of your CPU or GPU. You get 1 hdmi port and 3 DP.
This card has a switch that let's you configure the card in two modes: overclocking and silent, of course I have mine in overclocking.
Also the card makes no noise and it runs cool the most hot it gets is 70c under load.
I'll continue to update this review as time passes and I have the chance to push this bad boy to it's limit to see how much performance I can get out of it. I'll buy a 1440p monitor soon and then I'll be able to test 1440p resolution and see if I can play everything on ultra and keep at least 60 fps.
Pros

Update 5 month later:
Amazing card, I play resident evil 3 this is 2020 game and the graphics are something like you've never seen before in 1080p 60fps everything in ultra this games pushes the card to 100% 😧 this game is really demanding and it looks like a movie, I think this is the most demanding game I've ever played AAA Game.
I also play Detroit become human everything ultra, graphics on this game are incredible.
I dont think there is a game I can't play on ultra 1080 60fps. If a games comes out that I can't play I'll let you know but until 2023 or 2024 maybe there will be one.
If I could buy the ryzen 9 3900x CPU that I want I would have a monster PC, I thing I have a bottleneck on my CPU but I can't afford the ryzen 9 beast.
