RTX 4060 8GB or the 3060 12GB? which one will you recommend?

[Bing Chilling]

these cards are currently near or the same price.
is the extra vram worth the 10-15% performance loss over the 4060 8gb?

Someone's going to mention "inflation" but I think the more proper description we start calling it by is shrinkflation,

I think people are realising the true value of money, Things like owning a house and having food on the table are what's really worth anything, GPU's cost more because a lot of reasons but mainly the whole chain from manufacturing to suppliers to computer shop salesmen, People need money for necessities (housing etc) so everyone put's their prices up, not exactly inflation but a readjustment.

Well yes, a lot of people have been put into financial situations that have caused them to need to cut back. I don't dispute that, but that's a much broader subject than what was saying.

I was more talking about how the situation with graphics cards specifically. They're giving a lot less of an uplift for the cost in recent years (this even dates to before the economic downturn of the last couple of years), and it's often excused as a result of simple inflation. I was putting forward another consideration with some numbers as support, that instead it's more like shrinkflation. Of course the two could be said to be inverse sides to the same larger subject and that's true, and it feels like bits of both at play with them. It certainly seems like far more of the latter though, so I wanted to mention to term for consideration because a lot of people go right to inflation as the supposed reason for it.

I would avoid both and get RX 6700 XT.

I second that

and no nividia card can run the best game of this decade starfield at 60fps

What? The rtx 3060 runs starfield at 60fps easily dude. wtf? I thought people knew their graphic cards here. Where TF are you guys getting this info? Is it YouTube? YouTube is a toilet just so you know. You'd be very surprised at your results if you just take the time to test things for yourself.

YouTube is human beings doing the videos and human beings are not perfect it's closer to perfection if you test yourself.

Rtx 3060ti low mid range nowdayd cant handle most newer title unless they get optimised 8gb of vram is just to low for modern gaming wouldnt suprise me if 12 gb will be min for 1080p by mid 2024

What? 4gb is just fine for 1080p, unless you're the kind that wants everything on ultra settings.

I'm likely just going to do a full build in 2024. My PC is having issues and the performance isn't enough at 1440p for me anymore. Hopefully Zen 5 and decent refreshed AMD GPU's are available.

One question I do have to ask though for AMD GPU users. Can I set a global FPS limit so that all games are capped like you can in Nvidia control panel ?

Try playing Death Stranding with 4 GB card 1080p, low settings is all you get. Even medium settings need 6 GB.

We are in an era where none of GPU families offer "best for buck". One of them has a high TDP for the amount of processing grunt, another one has lack of VRAM for 2023/2024, another one ask you ridiculous amount of price which is worth of an xx70 SLI setup a few years ago.

Best way is to keep our existing GPUs in disposal until the manufacturers' marketing trap (lead by NVidia) on "milking real gamers" backfires. As long as you don't use your GPU for professional means, don't give a "King's Ransom" for an xx80 range card, $800 for xx70ti, $600 for xx70 card.
