Is $400 CAD enough for a good gaming GPU in 2026?
Yes — $400 CAD reliably buys a card for smooth 1080p gaming at medium-to-high settings, and it's the most competitive tier for esports-focused builds in the Canadian market.
Why do Canadian GPU prices look higher than US prices?
CAD listing prices reflect the weaker CAD/USD exchange rate plus Canadian retailer pricing — comparing the Value Score (not the raw number) is the fair way to judge value across currencies.
