Marvel Rivals
Start with the settings you want to play at and the PC you already own. The publisher's recommended hardware does not establish a 1440p or high-refresh target. For a new purchase, the useful comparison is how much extra performance a more expensive card delivers at comparable settings.
BUYING INTERPRETATION
Consider these only after checking a test of the exact card at your resolution. The publisher's older recommended GPUs do not prove that every current entry model will reach your desired refresh rate. If your present PC is already satisfactory, replacement is optional.
Use the comparison and price-ratio calculation below to judge the premium. These exact 16GB variants are the comparison candidates; results from an 8GB version should not be substituted. Also compare the image settings you actually intend to use.
A higher-resolution screen or several demanding games may justify this shortlist. The midrange test below does not measure these cards: use a matching benchmark before paying more, and include any required power-supply change in the total.
The first option is for a tight new-build budget. The middle pair has a directly linked comparison. The final pair is a shortlist for a heavier target that still needs its own benchmark. These are three different buying situations.

TechSpot's July 29, 2025 test used 16GB Asus Prime cards, a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 32GB DDR5-6000. In Marvel Rivals at 1440p Ultra, the RTX 5060 Ti led by 12% natively and 11% with Quality upscaling. These are dated third-party results, without frame generation; patches and another PC can change the outcome.

For performance per dollar in that native test, divide the Nvidia delivered price by the AMD delivered price. A ratio at or below 1.12 matches or improves that comparison's value; a larger ratio pays a premium for other priorities. This is a calculation from the reported test, not a forecast of current performance.
Use CAD totals for both cards, with the same tax basis, shipping and product condition. Compare warranty and returns separately. A cheaper open-box card with a different warranty is not the same offer as a new card, even when the GPU chip matches.
The official rows establish compatibility and name a complete system. They do not assign FPS, resolution or a separate VRAM capacity. For a competitive target, check a test with your CPU class, chosen preset and the same upscaling mode; an Ultra benchmark answers a different question from a reduced-settings match.

METHOD
GPUStores compares publisher requirements with the technical sources linked in this guide. We have not tested these GPUs ourselves. Any third-party result belongs to the dated test and settings identified beside it. Buying advice and calculations are our analysis; they are not publisher requirements or a promise of performance on your PC.
An unspecified value remains unknown. Confirm delivered price and stock with the retailer before buying.

No separate VRAM requirement is stated in the cited Steam rows. The 16GB cards discussed here are buying options, not an official capacity requirement.
No. It is a method to apply to the delivered Canadian prices you check on the day of purchase. No example amount is presented as a retailer quote.
No. The measurements belong to TechSpot. GPUStores links the original test and adds a purchasing calculation, without claiming a result on your PC.
