What reviewers say

Reviewers found it a solid 1080p card with a clear gain over the RTX 4060 and useful DLSS 4 support. Both see its 8 GB of memory as the big weakness, forcing lower settings in newer games and limiting it at 1440p and its useful lifespan; they also regard Multi Frame Generation as situational because of added latency.
