Ranked #12 in Graphics Cards
Backed by 2 cited sources
Covered by 2 outlets
The best card at its sub-$250 price point among current-gen Nvidia options and PC Gamer's reluctant budget nod, but it is an awkward buy: barely faster than an RTX 4060, and the RTX 5060 at $299 delivers a meaningful jump for only $50 more.
