## Verdict

Same 8GB trap at a higher price than AMD's equivalent mistake. Exists to upsell you to the 16GB model, so just start there.

## For

- An otherwise fine card underneath the VRAM limitation
- Costs less than the 16GB model on the shelf

## Against

- Already VRAM-limited in current titles at 1440p
- The classic cross-shop mistake: looks like the 16GB model but is not
- Buying guides flag ignoring VRAM as the number one GPU buying mistake right now
- Exists to upsell buyers to the 16GB model at a higher price than AMD's equivalent mistake

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 3 of 7 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- F: Avoid. The evidence points you elsewhere.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
