Pros & cons

  • Solid 1440p-class gaming performance
  • Supports upscaling (DLSS, DLSS-FG) for extra headroom at higher resolutions
  • Strong ray tracing capability for this generation
  • Efficient — lower power draw, easier to cool and pair with a smaller PSU
  • 8.0GB VRAM can become tight at 1440p/4K with texture-heavy titles

Frequently asked questions

It depends entirely on the game, resolution, settings and the CPU it's paired with — there is no single answer. Use the calculator above to get an estimate for your exact combination, or see the sample results table for a few reference points.

Based on its relative performance index (55/100), we'd suggest 1080p (High) as the most comfortable target for this GPU at High/Ultra settings.

Yes — its ray tracing support tier is rated 'improved' in our catalog, meaning a moderate to significant frame rate cost when RT is enabled, partly offset by upscaling if supported.

For a balanced build, CPUs like AMD Ryzen 5 5600, AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT tend to match this GPU's performance tier well — see the recommended CPUs panel for links.
