So basically the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is a direct substitute for the RTX 3060 TI. Nvidia's claim of 70% extra performance is odd and probably takes into account DLSS 3/Frame Generation. So in actual rasterization that number should be much lower if not on par with the previous generation while being more efficient. But the main issue is the 8GB of GDDR6 even with the extra L2 cache I find really hard to justify the low amount of VRAM for $400 which will definitely hinder performance if you are getting it for newer titles and a lot of the features here aren't going to be usable, RT will be hard to pull off in many games and higher resolutions are out of the realm of possibility.

The RTX 4060 TI 16 GB on the other hand fix part of the issue by offering a larger VRAM pool. But asking 100 bucks extra for another 8GB of GDDR6 memory is at the very least offensive. The margin here is just that ridiculous and they could at the very least upgrade the memory to GDDR6X. Yes, RT and higher resolutions should play ball better with this card. But value-wise is totally off.

As for the RTX 4060, it's actually cheaper than the previous generation. But also feature a reduced VRAM pool and the same drawbacks as the Ti variant. And with the RX 6600 XT being as cheap as it currently is and probably in the same ballpark in performance. The only reason to go with Nvidia here is for their exclusive features and the older games with RT implementation.

So in summary. The best value here is the 4060 Ti 8GB, but by virtue of it only having 8GB the amount of limitations that it also has made it impossible to recommend for newer build. But at the same time by going with an 8x PCie 4 interface, recommending it for older builds looking for an upgrade is also impossible. So the only reason to buy this one is that Nvidia is taking the 3060 Ti out of the market because otherwise, it would be the more sensitive purchase. Meanwhile, the 4060 Ti 16 GB only exists to be the bare minimum to actually use Nvidia's features and is also the one where they are probably making the most amount of money, by charging a premium for a mere 8GB of extra memory.

I pray that AMD and Intel will be able to come up with cards that can further show the lack of value in Nvidia's line.

RNTody395d ago

I agree with your assessment. I have a Galax 3060TI with GDDR6X ram and it's an absolute beast in value for the money I paid. Maxing out graphics with high performance above 80fps on most games I play minus ray tracing. I can't see these cards being a better buy than a 3060Ti with GDDR6X.

Goosejuice395d ago

At 499 for the 4060ti I would recommend getting the 6800xt from amd instead at 539$. It performs above the 4070 in most games if not all and u get 16gb vram. 499 to me is a bit much for a 4060 unless u really want to use dlss3 and even so..fsr2 isn't bad.

Magic_Spatula394d ago

Yeah. Why spend $500 on the 4060ti when you can get the 6800XT for a bit more and have better performance?

Bobertt394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

Leaked Geek Bench scores for the 4060ti 8gb are out and they are about 15% faster than the 3060ti but it is slightly slower than the 3070. You can get a 3070 for $450-500 on Newegg so i think this is why they put the 4060ti 8gb at $400.

But the 16gb being $100 more is a rip off they are probably paying $50 at most for the 8gb more of VRAM so they are trying to up the profits on that model because they know that's the one most people will go for if they are upgrading or playing newer games.

Vits394d ago

If it's 15% faster than the 3060 Ti but slightly lower than the 3070. Then it most likely hit the same ballpark as the 3060 Ti GDDR6X. Which it directly substitutes and is the reason why Nvidia will stop the production of the 3060 Ti. So instead of actually making the hardware make sense. They are just making it the only choice for those that want the combo "Nvidia features" + "Lower price".

rpvenom394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

Whoa you're quite educated on this topic. I currently have a RTX 2070 Super and have been considering an upgrade but not wanting to break the bank. Would this be a good upgrade for me or is there another RTX card you'd recommend? Or should I continue to ride it out for now with my current

Vits394d ago

It depends. What is the rest of your build and the resolution that you are targeting?

How many suckers are going to buy this?

Number1TailzFan395d ago

4000 series is a bust unless you come across a bargain and even then too many are vram limited for a card in this series, 4090 is a good uplift but super expensive.

Let's see if they pull the same crap with the 5000 series next year. Hopefully Nvidia comes back down to Earth.

FinalFantasyFanatic395d ago

Apparently they're sitting on a lot of inventory, so it'll be interesting to see if they actually do drop the price for the 5000 series, I hope they do, the pricing has been ridiculous (and I don't blame inflation for it either).

I also suspect we'll see Super versions or something of the 4000 series with extra VRAM at some point, possibly.

neutralgamer1992395d ago

I am not a pc gamer but trying to build a decent pc within $1500-2000. Can someone please recommendations

CPU intel vs amd
Motherboard type
GPU are these unveiled good for 2023
Any suggestions for case and cooling solutions
32 or 64GB ram

Look to build a PC that can last next 4-5 years without need for any major hardware upgrades

Goosejuice395d ago

Are u trying to build or buy pre-made? And I assume for gaming and not video editing?

ocelot07395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Have a look at this I just put together for you. This is what I would probably go for of I had $2000 budget. With that $100 left over I would use to put towards more fans and maybe a extra storage drive.

https://pcpartpicker.com/li...

Goosejuice395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

I personally would put a little more money into the cpu and get 7800x or if u could find a way to get the 7800x3d would be a huge improvement. Everything else I like though. That gpu plus a 7800x3d would set u for the next 5 years

ocelot07394d ago

@Goosejuice

I fully agree on that. A 7800x3d would bring the total to $2106 tbh if you can afford $2000 I think stretching a extra $106 is worth it.

neutralgamer1992394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

Hey thank you so much to both of you

I should be able to spend a bit extra of it means overall more future proof. $2106 doesn’t sound too bad thank you

Goose

I don’t mind pre built but the issue I see is usually in pre built there are some concessions companies make to save money and make more profit. But if you think there is one pre built that would be less headache for me

ocelot07394d ago

I can't help with pre builds from the US as I'm based in the UK. But you are correct major pre builds from the likes of Dell on paper have great specs but they cheap out way to much.

Weather that be a basic stock cooler. Single channel ram, Cases with zero airflow for example.

If you can build your self. Then that's the best way to go.

RedDevils394d ago

Always build yourself, it easier then putting legos together.

Goosejuice394d ago

Ah I was only asking because some people aren't comfortable building their own. I don't recommend pre built just because of the mark ups. And yes if u can spend a little extra then get the 7800x3d. U can probably find a case that's close to the one ocelot picked that's either on sale or a different brand and may save a little money there.

Crows90394d ago

To be frank, pc gamer here, be cautious about spending too much on PC...look at the latest games...horrible pc performance. I wouldnt be surprised if outside of indies the performance continues to suck due to horrible optimization.

FinalFantasyFanatic394d ago

What a terrible time to be alive when the PC port isn't the best version of a game.

1nsomniac394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

If you’re not a pc gamer then despite how scummy their practices are you’re better off sticking with intel cpu and Nvidia gpu. The value isn’t as good but it will just work and you won’t have to wait for tailor made patches to trickle through for each game to work.

You absolutely don’t need 64gb ram 32 is more than fine. Water cooling is not really necessary unless you want extreme overclocking. Get a decent case and you don’t need a lot of fans either easily clock an i5 to 5ghz on 3 single fans and it’s not a difficult process at all and the noise isn’t excessive on decent fans. No need for an i7. Picking the graphics card is the only difficult question and I suppose that all depends on what budget youve got left a want to spend. And then it’s still more of a silicone lottery challenge with gpus whichever you pick.

neutralgamer1992394d ago

Thank you there is a lot for me to but it seems if the budget is around 2000+I can build a mid range pc. Not really looking for high performance since I am a single player gamer so I prefer high graphics settings at 60FPS

Not much of online or esports gamer

MrDead394d ago

Agree, my PC is mainly for work so intel and Nvidia was a no brainer. AMD isn't as constant with performance or reliability.

CantThinkOfAUsername394d ago

Which resolution do you plan to play at? And do you care about Ray Tracing?

neutralgamer1992393d ago

hey thank you

i care more about higher graphics settings at locked 60FPS. I am not looking to plat at higher FPS since my games are single player story driven games

just_looken394d ago

Do not buy rgb ram if you can go with rip jaws or crcial ram kits.

Rgb just adds bloat too your os and is some cases can cause crashes.

The team force crap has the worst rgb control software.

I always use gskill for amd build ripjaws are cheap and fast

neutralgamer1992393d ago

RGB is really useless i agree. I have few RGB external SSD's and i could careless about RGB factor

MrDead394d ago

Don't forget to say no to all the disco lights if you're going for a custom build, it saves a ton of cash that can be spent on other things, more ram, better cooling, etc or just as a saving. Custom build sites love the lights

DSSL 3 is really cool thing,.. but this 8GB vram is a joke.

Anime Games Need A Break From Arena Fighters

With so many anime games these past couple of years, there's a growing, noticeable pattern in these games that are growing stale — the Arena Fighter.

I think Arena Fighters are the worst fighting subgenre to go to. Why havent the west gotten Shonen Jump games in the style of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? Or Anime fighter like DBZ Fighterz but not just dragon ball? Arena Fighters just arent very good fighter imo. Even the best Arena Fighter series Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm I feel is pretty mediocre as a fighting game

-Foxtrot1d 4h ago

We need more AAA anime games that are single player story driven, like you are experiencing another arc or something within that show. It's either fighting games or games that feel shallow with not much going for them, the kind which are made for the sake of it because the fanbase will eat it up anyway.

I want to see a proper well made game by great studios of Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Dirty Pair Flash etc

blackblades46m ago

One piece is that one of the anime thats not Pokemon and digimon that ive seen that has plenty of games outside of fighting.

S2Killinit5h ago

I would like a pokemon smash style anime inspired games.

Flewid6383h ago

The entire fighting game genre needs a break from anime.

There usually not much of a choice for the shells you get. I always go for mini nuke,napalm,static field and high explosive. Sometimes you have to settle on regular explosive or smoke. It’s sort of random what shells you are given but that’s how I choose them. I always do side objectives as they give you extra xp and I’m not anywhere near max level

With the new patch its now great for planets with ion storms.
