News Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti Rumored to Ship to Partners on May 5th

This whole generation of AMD and NVIDIA GPUs are way overpriced too much. If previous ADA releases are anything to go by, it looks they are selling the 4050/4050Ti SKU (performance wise) card under the 4060/4060Ti branding for $400+.

I wanted to get one of these for myself, but I have planned on skipping this whole gen of cards. 8GB VRAM just doesn't cut the mustard in modern AAA/AA games, let alone 128-bit mem bus interface (though the card sports a higher L2 cache). I would rather get an RTX 3060 12GB variant instead.

Dream/speculation:

If suppose Nvidia releases the RTX 4060 Ti for $250/300 and the RTX 4060 for $199/250, then these will be the powerhouse GPUs that the market has been craving all throughout the Covid-19 pandemic from the last three years.

At this price, gamers could finally upgrade especially those holding on to Polaris RX 470/RX 480/RX 570/RX 580 and Pascal GTX 1060 3GB/GTX 1060 6GB, RTX 20-series, and other older gen cards. But sadly, NO, we all know this is never gonna happen.

Gaming has actually become an expensive hobby,


PS: I'm a dreamer ~!

This gen = 6600XT (8gb, $200), 6700XT (12gb, $300), 6950XT (16gb, $600), 7900XTX (24gb, $900) for gamers; or 4090 for anyone with money to burn or use as a investment of any sort
 
This entire generation is terrible for consumers and completely backwards. Normally the standard editions release, and with improved yields and microstep corrections they become capable of releasing better versions like the Ti. This generation they released the RTX 4090 (the one I bought) first along with Ti editions before they released the base versions, like this 4060 ti...

It is and as the saying goes: "Things will continue until they can't". This is what Nvidia will be facing. All this will do is make gamers hang onto what they've got a lot longer or to say, the hell with it by switching to consoles.

Most PC games today start out, designed around consoles and get ported to PC's. With more and more struggling to make ends meet, people will adjust their priorities. GPU makers picked the wrong time to get greedy.

I'm already seeing HUGE discounts on current gaming prebuilts by Dell and HP. They know their stuff isn't selling and it did not take long for that to happen after the release of the current gen CPU's and GPU's.

I don't think so, because nowadays "everybody and their dog" (quote Elon Musk) wants a GPU. While the krypto market is on the decline, AI is getting a huge boost, so PC gamers have become just a less relevant fraction of the total GPU market. High demand and only 2 (3, if you count Intel) relevant companies = high prices.
That's how it is, and just how someone further above said: PC gaming has become an expensive hobby.
 
Also pretty sure 4060 are gonna be the worst dollar vs performance of the new generation.
Lol. Zero chance. The RTX 4090 will easily remain the worst value to performance. The RTX 4060 will almost certainly be the best bang for the buck (of the 4000 series) when it is released and will stay there until the RTX 4050 is released.
