What reviewers say
Reviewers found an efficient budget 1080p upgrade, but differed on value. PC Gamer and PCWorld favoured it, while Tom's Hardware questioned the premium over the GTX 1050. PCWorld tested EVGA SC; Tom's used MSI 4G OC for gaming and Gaming X for power and acoustics. Those board-specific findings are not universal.
