What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a very efficient 1080p card that beats the RTX 3060, with DLSS 3 frame generation as a bonus. The common criticisms are that its 8 GB of memory and 128-bit bus are a step back from the RTX 3060, limiting it above 1080p, and that the generational gain is small; PC Gamer likened it to an xx50-class card.
