Provides a better value even above it's MSRP
TLDR: Card punches way above it's price point and is a great value (if caught around it's msrp). I am an Nvidia card user I have been for some time my first GPU was A GTX750ti, followed by a GTX 950, GTX 1060 6gb, and an RTX 3060ti while all of these cards have something in common that benign they are budget minded cards that at the time offered good enough performance I had noticed something the 50 line of Nvidia cards were not hitting the mark anymore and the 60s were starting to fall short. It took to get high settings at 60-120fps in modern titles at just 1080p a 60ti which is sadly going up in price or isn't released in time to be competitive. With Nvidia dominating the top of the GPU market it appears they have forgotten how they got there which was a majority of gamers buying their lower mid tier cards. This has caused me to do a deep dive into AMD gpus, if nothing else it would waste some time reading something I thought I already knew. AMD delivers cards that were not only comparable but relatively close to their Nvidia counter part but in some cases better and reliably cheaper. Stunned upon reading this and seeing tests it appears AMD was really doing something right which if you love Nvidia that seemed impossible but it was true AMD while lacking in some features ie ray tracing was still able to do all be it not well but they could. This line up was set to launch soon and I was looking into their previous gen and though okay this will be a 800-1100 card but at msrp of 549 it's a steal this thing does everything great not perfect but great. Ray tracing leaves a bit to be desired but it handly can at 1080p, with its excessive vram and great power consumption to fps ratios this card in my opinion should be crowned king for 1080p gaming at the 500-700 price point in the new and current market for gpus (03/2025). Congratulations AMD you have won me over from Nvidia hopefully they keeping aiming for the right markets and the right user base that Nvidia seems to have thrown away. Read more
