Pros & cons

  • Efficient — lower power draw, easier to cool and pair with a smaller PSU
  • 8.0GB VRAM can become tight at 1440p/4K with texture-heavy titles
  • Limited ray tracing performance — expect a bigger hit turning RT on
  • Best suited to 1080p at Medium/High rather than 1440p or 4K

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 (20/100), we'd suggest 1080p (Medium/Low) as the most comfortable target for this GPU at High/Ultra settings.

This GPU has no dedicated ray tracing hardware acceleration in our catalog — ray tracing is not recommended.

For a balanced build, CPUs like AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics, AMD Ryzen 3 3300X tend to match this GPU's performance tier well — see the recommended CPUs panel for links.
