Nice to see some actual lower end competition. Hopefully the driver's will be better this time around and XeSS 2 works decently well.

Hopefully this will drive at least AMD to remember the budget conscious gamers.
- The irony that the lower end competition is Intel lol. But for sure your point stands, it would be great to start the pressure downward, anytime now.
Site says "launching on December 12, 2044", guess I'll have to wait.
- Yeesh, $249 in 2044 is gonna be pretty steep....
If it had 16GB VRAM, I'd find it more competitive. It is a strange choice to stick with 12GB in ~~2024~~ practically 2025.
