What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a solid refresh, around 16 per cent faster than the RTX 4070 at the same launch price, and very efficient, cool and quiet. TechRadar found it faster overall than AMD's RX 7800 XT. The common criticism is that 12 GB of memory feels stingy at the price, which TechRadar also considered high for a mid-range card.
