Local AI fit: 13B-14B class models. Rule of thumb for 4-bit quantized models; context length and other apps eat into the same memory.

Why you hesitate

  • 12GB caps its AI usefulness

The editor's take

The best-liked card of the 40 series mid range, and used units now undercut the RTX 5070 meaningfully while giving up little in games. The 12GB limit ages it for AI work, so treat it purely as a gaming deal. When a clean listing lands well under 5070 money, that is the whole pitch.

Who it's for: 1440p gamers watching the used market for a proven card at a real discount over current-gen pricing.
