"4070" at $600 is ridiculous given this level of rasterization is 3 years old. only the 4080/4090 are "new" and were not seen before, and even then, 4000 series is already a year old and should be at a discount, but nvidia thinks the price should remain the same until the next gen is available a few years later. technology depreciates quickly but nvidia doesn't seem to think so.

I’m almost sure they wanted to give us a 6GB 3060. I think that’s exactly what their plan was, specially since the laptop 3060 has 6GB. Then when AMD completely surprised them with massive vRAM, they just last-minute gave the 3060 double and went with that. It doesn’t make sense otherwise

@Seth22087

10 ай бұрын

That is because nVidia didn't plan on giving us those lower tier high VRAM models. 4060Ti 16GB was response to backlash for 4060Ti 8GB, because at its price, 8GB was totally unacceptable. For 3060 I can't remember if it was something to do with making it more enticing to miners or just response to market. Like I am pretty sure original plan was 6GB, since due to how GPU is designed with memory bus it can do 6GB or 12GB, unlike RAM you are limited with how many memory chips you put on it and so you can go for base capacity or double. Like 8GB wouldn't be possible due to design of GPU. Hence why you then got oddities in lineup. And how can lower tier card beat higher tier once you need extra VRAM. Still same thing that happened between 3060 12GB and 3060Ti/3070 8GB or between 3070 and RX6700XT, where 3070 was fastest, but with asterisk, as long as 8GB of VRAM was enough... and I think history will repeat here with 12GB on 4070, not as quickly, but stage is set for history to repeat.

Unless you wanted to use all of it and get more performance out of your card... remember the 6 gig cards back then ended up having atleaste 1 to 2 gigs left of vram when playing most games? This is why 8 gigs of vram has been able to be around for so long because so many games have came out only needing more than 4 to 5 gigs of vram, it was somewhat rare for a game to use 6 gigs until like 2017 to 2018. I think 12 gigs of vram will be the new 6-8 gigs for a while... in other words, you will be fine for maybe more than 3-5 years until you might need a new graphics card and even then I doubt by then they will be optimizing for 10-12 gigs of vram in games and even still that's pretty normal.

I have researched for two months already thanks to the bullshit Nvidia pulled....and now that I am exhausted I think a used 3090 is the absolute best thing for me. The only thing that holds it back in comparison to 4070 is frame gen. Now thanks to AMD you can do frame gen on 3090 too (I think...not sure though). So it ticks all the boxes. 1) Faster than 4070 and on par with 6800 2) Biggest VRAM 3) Can give 90% it's max performance at underclock to 250 watts 4) Has Dlss 1, 2, FSR and now frame gen . Just one thing. Fear of a mined card. But as I heard, a 10 days check warranty is enough to see if card is good or not. Basically if it works for 10 days under heavy load it will live it's life as a normal card is what I heard. . If you get 3090 in 500-600 dollars. I think it's the best card then.

As always, these updates and reviews are amazing in helping me decide what to buy and not buy. While I always enjoy that every reviewer says to look at multiple venues to coalesce data and review styles to help me decide, I am quite pleased to get simple , raw, explicit data that shows essential information both on summary and in varied amd/nvidia sponsored titles. I am unhappy that there are such high premiums elsewhere in the world for computer parts. That isn't fair. I am still shocked by how much more Australian GPUs are compared to US GPUs Imma stay with my 3070ti and my wife with her 3080ti and just knock down settings until an rtx 6000 or and competitor arrives. Honestly, with how UE5 games are going, demanding upscaling like Remnant 2, we see that we would need Amd , Nvidia, and Intel to do some major Wizardry in rasterization before that. When a 4090 @ 4k can't run some current gen at 60fps smoothly and requires upscaling, the hardware is relying on software tricks rather than hardware performance . We could chalk it up to bad optimization in the dev side or something, maybe, but it raises an eyebrow. I think Steve said, one time, that ultra settings are never really necessary and just high is fine, even medium at points, but for the sake of benchmarks, they hammer GPU's at high settings and that's great. I've given more leeway with my gpu settings wise and had no noticeable difference in image quality , especially at 1440p or 4k. Games look really good at multiple resolutions.

The 4070's die alone costs ~$100 (simulated on a 300mm wafer with 85% yields, as reported). 3060's die can't cost less than $50. That neutralizes itself through VRAM savings. We are left with some $10...$20 for a better cooler and power delivery. If 3060 is profitable at 330, why wouldn't 4070 be at $350? or even $400 (and people would flock to get it)? but instead, they ask $600.

In the UK for about 5.5% more than an entry (ventus) 4060Ti you can get a RX7800xt. Against a GamingX version its only 2.3% and there are many more that are even more expensive. Nvidia has no idea how off the mark they are. My evga 3090 is the last Nvidia card I'll ever buy or put in a client build.

The only CUDA based apps right now needing 16GB are the AI open source LLM apps and models. Plus AI image generation apps like Stable Diffusion. And for the more serious AI hobbyists 16GB is bare minimum with 20GB+ being recommended. It's why the 4090 is popular with many AI programmers and developers plus serious hobbyists, these people have replaced the crypto crowd as the big buyers of these cards.

maybe the same perf in game but quite a beast in applicative. There is a reason why HBM is now heavily used in pro GPU line-ups. This were defective Vega 20 dies, not really tailored for gaming. In the opposite way, the same thing can be said with Navi 10 and 14 on the Radeon Pro line-up. Inadequate marketing.

As a first time for me buying/building a PC, this video has helped me massively decide what unit to get, instead of just another video slagging invidia for their pricing!

So essentially it boils down to: do you wanna have more VRAM for the potential titles that could use it or get 15-20 more FPS on average, excluding 4K native. I probably wouldnt buy any card this gen but if I had to I'd go with the 4060 ngl...

Good work , as always

249 (8GB)/299 (16GB) and 399 would make me excited. Both of them have a long way to go, before I'd even consider them a viable option... I think 30% is a good spacing between a 50 Ti and 60 class card.

@@GB-zi6qr More than that. This is not entry level gfx cards (eg. rx7600 is only low level, since there are even lower cards) and absolutely not entry level gaming (any iGPU can do the job for that, depending on the genre you play). Gaming doesn't mean the newest AAA on ultra at the highest resolution. It never was. Don't buy the manufacturers and editors marketing or the elitist children speech. PC gaming is not dying, their juicy business is. Heck! CS2 or Baldur's Gate 3 don't even require what's considered "low end" to be comfortably playable. Plenty of retro or indie games are accessible even on an anemic RaspberryPi, an old smarphone or a 15 years old laptop. This is already several years of entertainment without upgrading or even getting a PC. You don't even need any form of 3D acceleration feature or more than a couple of FPS to play some games as intended. And even more important than that : you can entertain yourself on any computer without consuming any content at all, interactive or not. This is a full-featured tool, not a gaming console (and sometimes even on them they are ways). You can learn skills or be freely creative and filled with the same accomplishment if not more. If you really want to stay in the videogame theme, you can make fan-arts, fanfics, music covers/remixes, videos, etc. A lot of opensource games and community mods are seeking for contributions like translations, graphics and sounds. Of course you can try learning programming and all the jazz to create your own game, even in BASIC on an old programmable calculator. It can also be a physical game or even a controller since microcontrollers are very capable and dirt cheap nowadays. Whatever fuels you.

Only very few titles (Starfield and Battlefield 5) comes to mind has having problems getting above 75FPS on Ryzen 3000, so by and large, not a problem at 1440p. But that will be the case regardless of which GPU you have. Those games are just hard on the CPU. Doesn't matter which resolution or settings you use. But you can always put a price watcher on the 5800X3D and snap up one of those when they start hitting $250. There's already a newegg promo-code-thingie that can land you one for $335 so they will surely drop to $250 or less when Zen 5 launches. If you go for a 7800XT that should land you a 1440p system that will play AAA titles at 1440p for years to come. The 6750XT is about 27% faster than a 2070 Super, or 71% the performance of the 7800XT. With current newegg pricing that's 71% the performance for 68% the price... so not really a deal-breaker either way. You will notice the 27% performance improvement if you go with the 6750XT. It's the difference between, say, 56FPS and 71FPS or 75FPS and 95FPS. So a noticeable improvement, but not really enough to bump up settings by much. The 7800XT is 78% faster than the 2070 Super, so that's 56FPS vs 99FPS or 75FPS vs 133FPS. That's certainly enough that you can distribute some of the power towards better settings (if you actually care about that) and still retain some uplift in FPS.

If not using a top of the line CPU and Motherboard, the performance of the 4070ti would drop right? If you spend the extra $100 for the 4070ti you then have to spend extra on a processor to handle it. If you have a good processor you need a mobo that can push amps to get the maximum out of the processor. If correct, a system as a whole would increase by more than a $100 for a 4070ti?
