What reviewers say
Reviews of the original reference card praise strong 1440p performance and improved efficiency over Vega. The blower cooler's heat and noise and the lack of hardware ray tracing are common reservations. PC Gamer and PCWorld are more enthusiastic about its launch value than TechRadar; these reviews do not assess the Anniversary edition.
