2GB more VRAM than NVIDIA's RTX 5050 (~$189) and RTX 5060 ($299) — the best VRAM-per-dollar in the sub-$225 GPU market.
A full 40W lower than the B580 and 20W lower than most competing NVIDIA cards at this price. No PSU upgrade needed for most systems.
Intel's second-generation AI upscaler delivers strong image quality in supported titles, with a growing catalogue of compatible games.
One of the most efficient GPUs ever — no external power connector needed on some AIB models.
Frame generation extends the card's 1080p capabilities.
The RTX 5060 launched at the same $299 price with GDDR7 and DLSS 4 — the 4060 only makes sense used at well below $150.
