What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is excellent value, matching or beating the RTX 5070 Ti in games without ray tracing for less money, with far better ray tracing than AMD's previous cards and a strong FSR 4 upscaler. NVIDIA still leads in heavy ray tracing and software features, FSR 4 is in few games so far, and power draw is fairly high.
