Multi-frame generation brings high frame rates to 1440p without brute-force rendering.
Efficient enough for mid-range builds without a PSU upgrade.
Superseded but strong value — at clearance pricing, delivers excellent 1440p performance for well under $400.
Same VRAM as its successor — no VRAM compromise.
Well-optimized after 18+ months of updates.
