Pros & cons
- Generous 16.0GB VRAM — comfortable headroom for high-res textures and modding
- Supports upscaling (FSR) for extra headroom at higher resolutions
- Limited ray tracing performance — expect a bigger hit turning RT on
Frequently asked questions
It depends entirely on the game, resolution, settings and the CPU it's paired with — there is no single answer. Use the calculator above to get an estimate for your exact combination, or see the sample results table for a few reference points.
Based on its relative performance index (50/100), we'd suggest 1080p (High) as the most comfortable target for this GPU at High/Ultra settings.
Yes — its ray tracing support tier is rated 'basic' in our catalog, meaning a moderate to significant frame rate cost when RT is enabled, partly offset by upscaling if supported.
For a balanced build, CPUs like AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, Intel Core i5-11400F tend to match this GPU's performance tier well — see the recommended CPUs panel for links.
