FAQ
Is 8GB enough for 1080p in 2026?
Yes. 8GB of GDDR7 handles most competitive and story games at 1080p high settings, and DLSS 4 raises frame rates further. At 1440p ultra in heavy games, you may need to lower texture quality.
What power supply do I need?
MSI recommends 550W. The card draws 145W through one PCIe 8-pin connector.
Will it fit a small case?
Usually, yes. At 197mm long and 41mm thick it is shorter than most higher-tier cards; check your case's maximum GPU length.
