What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.6 for now.

It is equipped with 8GB of next-generation GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a high bandwidth of 448 GB/s and a 145W TDP. The card's main characteristics include a sleek white dual-fan cooling system and support for advanced features like DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation and fourth-generation ray tracing. Its primary pros are its superior efficiency for 1080p gaming, compact dual-slot design suitable for smaller builds, and a significant performance jump over previous generations. However, its 8GB VRAM capacity can act as a bottleneck at 1440p resolution in demanding titles, and the PCIe 5.0 x8 interface may limit performance on older PCIe 3.0 motherboards.
