See current listings →Frequently Asked Questions
Is $800 CAD enough for 4K gaming?
With upscaling enabled, yes for most titles. Native 4K at max settings usually needs the $1000+ tier.
What's the difference between this tier and $650 CAD?
Meaningfully higher average framerates and better ray-tracing headroom, rather than a new resolution tier outright.
Is more VRAM worth it at this tier?
Generally yes if two cards have a similar Value Score — 12GB+ protects against stutter as game requirements grow.
