...or they know that people didnt care for the 4060 ti and will care less so for the 4060 non ti & don't want to waste $ on rgb.

Looks good, but would TomsHardware really recommend paying $300 for an 8GB card in 2023?

what I liked is the overclock 15mhz on a pentium 100 Can call it overclock... Its likely a project error...
Here in my country the rx 7600 has the price of the 400usd these rtx 4060 will be placed like 500usd
Will wait to see what graphics have the best Watt perfil ratio,

Good move .... GPUs are expensive enough without wasting money on things that do nothing for performance

If only the RTX 4060 was a great GPU I would grab one of these. I'm still on an RTX 2060 6GB and am very interested in spending the same sort of coin that the 2060 cost in the day, but the RTX 4060 8GB isn't going to be close to twice as fast (let alone twice the VRAM (something that RTX 3060 did deliver on!), despite ~4.5 years of time since the 2060 6GB.

This is tomshardware, look at the amount of errors in almost every article...

Exactly. Gaming and 8GB VRAM, are mutually exclusive notions. Resident Evil 4 remake, Far Cry 6 and The Last Of Us, are some of the games that could easily eat such cards alive.

Fellow 2060 owner here, DON'T SELL YOUR 2060!

I know caps but I have to emphasise how impprtant this is.

I ordered an ASUS 3060 Ti Dual (that was mislabeled on Amazon as a TUF btw haha) and the newer GPUs have horrible heatsinks. When I saw how thin the packaging bag was at the box office, I though I got scammed. Holding the card side by side, you can see just how much the new cards SUCK! (certainly not heat).
You see for yourself:

in person it's approx. 15% worse than it looks on camera. Yes the 2060 is 3 slot vs 3060 ti 2 slot.

This is not a cheaped out version, same company, same product line.
You can feel the weight difference as well.
The 2000 cards also have substantially more tensor cores (but obv the newer cards have fewer but more powerful ones).

The fans on the 3060 Ti was so loud that I actually sent it back. You can't go lower than 30% even forcefully or idle. Under medium load this thing fires up the fans like crazy and clicks + coil wine.

When benchmarking, the 3060 Ti overheated at 84C, fans spinning LOUD even with headphones fairly loud.
- The 2060 didn't even go beyond 65C, literally zero db/no sound at all.

Immediately sent back, for almost 350-400€ they can keep their halved cheaped out jet cards.

Same thing applies to the 4040 Ti here. If you are not sure, don't buy it. Check height, it should be around 54-60+mm.

Don't make the same mistake. Kiss your 2060 every day for it is the last true GPU.

 

[-Fran-]

This looks like the spiritual successor to the EVGA 3060 12GB (XC?) card and that is a good thing.

We need more bare-bones models in all the stack to reduce costs, hopefully reducing the price if ever so slightly. Or maybe stop charging so much extra for the RGB? 😀

Regards.

Especially when that article was just published about ddr6 being cheaper than ever.

Well not really, 8GB is still quite viable for things like MMOs and older games, but the entry level market is very much a price to performance to longevity market. $300 is expensive for an entry level card, performance may be adequate for now, but the 8GB VRAM is going to limit longevity. Even if a game is very well optimized and isn't that graphically taxing, if each frame is VRAM taxing then it's going to show it's age quickly, as we saw with GPU mods which doubled the VRAM and had a large performance uplift.

Ahhh, I'm just not a fan of that aesthetic: the all-black GPU with extreme angles, it's just not for me, anymore. Even if it was a decent price, the look of the thing would be enough to turn me off of purchasing it.

Does the Toms hardware recommended to pay $1200 for 16Gb GPU…
Everything is relative. $300 8Gb gpu is much more sensible than $1200 16gb gpu…
