R9 Nano benchmark with Core i5-12600K 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at High Quality
At 1440p, R9 Nano can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like R9 Nano requires careful thought. With current 4096 MB RAM, the R9 Nano can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
The release year of the graphics card. The newer the better technology and performance optimization and
