The entry-level RTX 50 card, and the only one with older GDDR6 memory. It manages 59 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra in Tom's Hardware's testing but drops to single figures with ray tracing at 1440p, so it is a 1080p card for lighter settings and esports games, where it still clears 170 fps in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p.
