Pros & cons
- Solid 1440p-class gaming performance
- Generous 16.0GB VRAM — comfortable headroom for high-res textures and modding
- Supports upscaling (DLSS, DLSS-FG) for extra headroom at higher resolutions
- Strong ray tracing capability for this generation
- No standout traits versus the rest of the catalog at this price/performance tier.
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 (69/100), we'd suggest 1440p as the most comfortable target for this GPU at High/Ultra settings.
Yes — its ray tracing support tier is rated 'top' 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 7600, Intel Core i5-14400F tend to match this GPU's performance tier well — see the recommended CPUs panel for links.
