I hope the entire 4000 series underperforms Nvidia expectations by a very large degree. 8gb card at 450 bucks? Absolutely ridiculous in 2023.
Of course some people have lower expectations, but even 6700XT will run all upcoming PS5 ports without problems thanks to RDNA2 architecture and 12GB of VRAM. In current games 6700XT destroys even RTX3070, and not because RTX3070 is slower, but because 6700XT isnt VRAM limited.It all depends what are ur goals/expectations, recently i helped a buddy to chose upgrade to his current pc rig-wallmart bought prebuild, including1060 3gigs, back in 2017.
For such a person and obviously strickly 1080p gaming, i went with under 1,1k usd build, 5800x3d and 12gigs 6700xt- again hard budget restrictions but can be done and for him it will be massive jump +167% of prerformance, 12gigs of vram will last him for a while, as u can see from his previous pc- he tends to upgrade only after few solid years- same way with cpu, longevity and quality of gaming at the same time at relatively midrange budget was key.
FTFYBandwidth starved, VRAM starved.
Congrats on your $450 purchase that is set up to fail from the moment you receive it. But look on the bright side, at least you're helping Jensen's Jacket Evolve out.
I'll be keeping my 1080 another gen, amazes me it has the same vram as my 7 year old gpuUnacceptable. I'm glad I gave up waiting for it and bought a PS5. I'll keep my old 2060 for lightweight gaming and play the nextgen stuff on my PS5.
Maybe in one or two years we have something that resembles a deal.
You can get a good deal at the low to mid range. You just need to go with AMD. You can pick up a 12GB 6700XT for as low as $349, or a 16GB 6800 for around $469.Unacceptable.

I'd let the 4050 off being 8, but yea definitely not a bloody 4060 TI modelFucking scumbags. Minimum should be 12GB. In fact, there shouldn't be any more cards in the single digits, imo.
Nah, man. If Nvidia were genuine about gaming and advancing PC, they'd drop anything below 12GB. I don't think that is asking a lot, given how they fucked the 4xxx series with shit cards, except the 4090, imo. AMD getting more competitive in the low-mid range market by actually doing the fucking sensible thing and throwing more VRAM into the mix with some nice perf.I'd let the 4050 off being 8, but yea definitely not a bloody 4060 TI model
Still holding on my 1060 in the meantime. Good times being a PC gamer.
Its sarcasm.
Vega 64 had 8 GB VRAM six years ago at 499 dollar launch price. This is fucked up.
GTX 970 had 3.5GB for $329 nine years agoVega 64 had 8 GB VRAM six years ago at 499 dollar launch price. This is fucked up.
Imho its all about that price, make it low enough and its solid purchase, ofc 400$ isnt by any means low enough if u got 12gigs 6700xt starting at 340$ https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CC...rx-6700-xt-12-gb-video-card-rx6700xt-cld-12go or 16gigs 6800 at 450$ https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nr...00-16-gb-video-card-rx-6800-gaming-z-trio-16gAnyone buying a new 8GB GPU in 2023 deserves whatever happens to them.
I bought the 4070, which really should be a 4060Ti going on previous generation of Nvidia GPUs.
I normally only go for xx60 GPUs for power/value but had no choice to go with a 4070 to get xx80 previous gen perf.
Looks like it is now 399$
