First, I'm upgrading from a GTX760 (Gigabyte Windforce 4GB) so the jump in performance for me is huge.
However I wasn't expecting the thermals and noise to be as low as they are even stressing it at max settings for Hitman 2/Divinity 2.
For Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, my 760 would make a little noise and sit at 75c... this 2080 card DOESN'T EVEN SPIN the fans at Ultra and sits at 53c. Maybe I've been out of the game for a couple years but that's so good.
The 4 year warranty (after online registration) is a good plus, took about 5 mins to do. Amazon leave a receipt paper inside the package for the registration ‘proof’ you’ll need for Gigabyte (take a photo of it).
With MSI Afterburner I managed to maintain boost under heavy load at 2100 MHZ and 17500 MHZ for the ram, the hottest i've seen so far is 66c with 50% fan speed. So yeah, this thing is a beast - 2080 Super is definitely worth the money as crazy as the prices are these days.
The only con I can think of so far is not related to the hardware really, it's that the Gigabyte RGB Fusion software doesn't have an option to ignore Corsair RAM (but there's ways around it so it's not a big deal)
If you are like me and are upgrading at least 2 generations and want a fast, cold and quiet card but not willing to blow 1200 on a Ti then 2080 Super is worth a look at as of August 2019.
