What reviewers say

Reviewers find strong 1440p performance, but a small improvement over the RTX 3070 alongside substantially higher power use. They question its value against the cheaper RTX 3070 and faster RTX 3080. PC Gamer and PCWorld criticise Founders Edition temperatures; PCWorld also questions whether 8 GB will remain sufficient for demanding 4K games.
