Is $650 CAD the sweet spot for value right now?

It's typically the most contested tier — check the live ranking above rather than assuming one card holds the title for long.

Can a $650 CAD GPU handle ray tracing?

Entry-to-mid ray tracing is usually playable at 1080p/1440p with upscaling (DLSS/FSR) enabled.

Should I wait for a Canadian retailer sale?

If the top pick's current price is already below its typical 12-month price (check its GPU detail page), waiting rarely pays off.
