Built a functional light gaming/work rig for my wife using this and an AMD 5600X on an MSI Tomahawk board.
It has put in a ridiculous amount of hours and use after 2 years almost, and has NEVER missed a beat. At the price point we were able to get it at during a sale, you can not beat the value, especially considering overall performance in the rig that was built fits perfectly, with no bottlenecks.
As an NVIDIA card, setups was pretty simple, and since it was a new machine, comparative speeds with other hardware would be hard to compare due to purpose built intent.
It is fast enough for great 1080p performance, which was it's intention, so there is that!

★★★★★Gets the job done
Good on budget and allows me to play all my games with up to date graphics (atleast enough)

Works great and a big upgrade to what I had before.

★★★★★PERFECT mid-high end card
Absolute workhorse. Can play virtually any game with no stutter and doesn’t generate a massive amount of heat. Cost effective and powerful. No driver issues and compatible with my motherboard.

★★★★★Mixed Feelings
To preface:
I am not one who will EVER go all out on the max GPU to max every setting on the latest triple A title - i want my stuff to last a long time (I've never had a GPU, CPU, RAM or PSU burn out in over 30 years - my 486 still works btw)
I am more concerned with steady FPS that ZOMGMAXULTRA settings.
Bought this 8GB RTX 4060Ti to go with my new i9-12900K
That being said:
SOOOOO much negativity on this card out there - near impossible to find good reviews on this card.
Everyone is hung on the price point and the only 8GB of VRAM and its performance vs the 3060TI.
Getting negatives out of the way:
For $400 on a next gen GPU, no it does not deliver in terms of that fully.
Less memory bus, still only 8GB of VRAM, the same DDR as previous gen at that.
for a little more money - you can get the RTX4070 for better performance overall and maybe more future proof - but again, its more money (at least $200 more).
For about the same, you can get a more buffed last gen card and maybe even get a higher tier of 30 series.
For a little less you can get an AMD card for about the same performance.
Yes, they released a 16Gb version for $100 more, but that's got issues of its own in terms of useable memory and none of their partners want to sell it because of bad press.
There are positives though (yes I have some buyer's remorse, but its subsiding as I use it more):
1. It draws a LOT less power than 4070/80/90 cards. This is important to me as it produces a lot less heat.
(Mine stays under 70C under load with stock fans on card). Only takes 1 8pin PCI-E supply.
2. it DOES have DLSS3, which is amazing for games that support it -in some cases giving you double the FPS. Boosts me from 60FPS to almost 100 in Cyberpunk 2077 at a mix of high and ultra settings @2550 res. D4 also performing about the same.
3. Raytracing is an added bonus. Improves many lighting details to make graphics pop even more @ 2550
4. Form factor is smaller than 3 fan versions, no space issues in case (iCue 4000X). It also has one less power cable running to it as it only needs 1 8pin supply.
While i wish this had at least 10 or 12GB of VRAM (much less the 16 it should have come with), it is what it is and it is performing better than the 1660 Super i replaced.
if you wanting max/ultra settings on current day games - skip this.
It you are wanting to upgrade/build now and have the $400 AND aren't obessed with top tier graphics @4K and 400FPS (which you aren't if you are looking at this level of card), I'd say get this and forget the haters.
If you can wait, I'd wait to see how the rest of 2023 shakes out and prices settle.
I think I might be regretting it when new titles come out and 8GB isn't enough, but its working better than expected from reviews from my experience so far.
Happy gaming!

Update: After owning this and running it for about 2 weeks now, I have no regrets. It stays cool under load, even at higher settings even at 1440. Cyberpunk is running 120fps (with DLSS3 on), with ultra RT and many of the settings turned to high - never tops 60C, VRAM is capped, fans don't go over 50%. D4 (while less graphics intense) is go. Handles current FPS games without issue as well.
No idea how it will handle Starfield/Hogwarts/Last of Us, but Its not a 4080/4090, so I am very pleased with the consistent fps and quality and non-strain on the Wattage or Temps.
Very pleased
