Looks like this really confirms the end of Moore's law and 5% increases gen to gen for 10% price increases are now the new norm.

Comparing 4060Ti with 3060Ti Timespy +14.2% Timespy Extreme +9.8% Speed Way +7.6% Firestrike +13.8% Firestrike Extreme +10.4% Firestrike Ultra +1.6% Assuming these are 8GB figures for both cards I guess it's not awful if you can genuinely get a 8GB card for $399 as that is the price the...

$100/25% is a big premium for the extra 8GB, it's gonna future proof the card more but given it will be a limited set of circumstances when it will be required I'm not sure it will be worth it. I wanted to see a 16GB version but $50 difference seemed to be a difference that you could justify I...

While the Specs are still <Mod Edit>, this is very sensible, no sensible purchaser should be paying $400+ for a 8GB GPU in 2023, at least the 4060 will have a decent lifespan, whereas 8GB cards will be struggling to play lots of new titles.

Makes sense especially if the 4060Ti is not better value price to performance wise which is pretty likely given the likely performance given the specs and that you can get new 3060Ti's below $400 when the 4060Ti will be around $500. At least it looks like there will be a 16GB version, wonder...

I agree but the fact is nVidia don't need gamers, they have loads of AI business at massively larger margins, they consider they are doing gamers a favour selling them GPUs at less than $2k. They will continue like this and maybe get even worse as as much as we hate it their job is to maximise...

Not really the xx50 is $349 at least, you might get one below $300 on offer or after it's been out >9months but I would be amazed if the 4050 was below $350 (nvidia might even go $449 for the 4060 and $399 for the 4050 and blame inflation)

I would be amazed if it was cheaper than $499 given Nvidia's current pricing stategy. Looks like the core clock boost will allow it to outperform the 3060Ti despite the drop in CUDA cores etc and the massive bandwidth drop. I suspect that it will be a narrow win of <20% at 1440p tho.

You got $2500 weighing you down eh?

To be honest if you are going for high frame rates on relatively high - res monitors in Cyberpunk, you would want minimum 12th Gen to get the max performance. You are basically asking for the most demanding Gaming task out there so any upgrade to either CPU or GPU would help but I wouldn't wan...

Yeh as @Zerk2012 said the 1080 was pretty fast so you aren't getting much of a bump from a 3060 and to be honest the RT doesn't really work that well on the 60 class cards as RT is so demanding you'll struggle to get good enough frame rates.

As far as I'm aware the Nvenc chip is dedicated and doesn't use the CUDA cores or the clock speed so the performance will be the same.

No but unfortunately NVidia have a big lead and even AMD aren't cheap and as I realised at the time the idiots paying 2x,3x during Covid have screwed everyone forever by raising the price of GPU's into the permanent stratosphere. The reality is if Nvidia double the price and lose less than 50%...

Well if you can get a founders at $599 or a decent partner card at less than $650 it would seem reasonable to me. It should tick your points in 2 and 7 as well. Obviously if you are keeping a card till circa 2029, I can't guarantee that 1440p will be playable on all games but given your...

This was inevitable given the pricing of the rest of the 40 series. Nvidia decided during COVID when people were willing to pay scalper prices of 2x or more that was the new pricing level and anyone who wont pay it can go hang. They aint gonna change now or ever.
