New prices (~$799) are well above MSRP due to the memory shortage — used units around $475 are the only remaining value path.
Same VRAM as its successor — no VRAM compromise.
Well-optimized after 18+ months of updates.
4GB more than the RTX 5070 at the same price. Future-proofs for 1440p ultra and 4K textures.
AMD's first machine-learning upscaler, narrowing the gap with DLSS 4.
AMD's open-source driver stack and FSR's open standard avoid proprietary ecosystem dependencies.
