what are you opinions on the RTX 4060?

[Bing Chilling]

is it worth it's asking price?

[Bing Chilling]

i did end up buying a 4060
but only because the 3060 is well over $500 CAD and i got a deal on the 4060 for $360 CAD, also would have considered a 4070 but they are nearly $1000 but so far it's been a decent upgrade (like %80 uplift in most titles) and i get to use DLSS stuff now for even more performance. Just sucks it only has 8gb of vram.

when i have more money i'll probably go onto AM5 and pick something up for the cpu side as yeah the CPU is the bottleneck is ALOT of games lol.

[Chaosolous]

Glad it worked out for you.

That's not a terrible price in CAD in today's market. Well, I'm not familiar with the Canadian market pricing in particular but at least doing conversions, it would be pretty good here.

the nvidia xx60 series is now the entry level for gaming

xx70 super/ti are better and more main stream
xx80-xx90 are top end

its hard to recommend xx60 for older builds since they have x8 pci-e lanes, not all x16
and can be gimped by boards with pci-e 3.0

The xx50 and xx60 model can't really be called a GPU.
It's more of a joke.

It all depends on what games you are playing. I have no idea why people make blanket statements. What resolution and what game you are playing means everything. I have a 1060 6GB, and there is nothing i play that i can't max graphics at 1080p and that includes Midnight suns' which is a 2 year old game with really nice graphics. I just don't have RT.

I was pondering building a system this year, but i've tabled that thought and most likely won't for at least another couple years.

It's a mis-branded 4030. It would be a good card with that name and a 100€ price tag. In its current form, it's a scam.

[Bing Chilling]

i mean it was a "decent" price considering the market out here.
and is basically 2x the speed of my old 1070 so im happy with it.
would be nice if prices weren't so messed up. But i did need an upgrade and anything higher end was way to much.

i think mostly because alot of people are willing to spend the money on 70 and higher class cards,pretty much every card right now is a "bad deal" compared to what they used to be.

back in the GTX 10 series you used to get a 1440p card for 400 CAD that could max out every game and get like 100fps. But we don't live in that timeline anymore and things are only getting worse.

Meanwhile, even a RTX 3060 still hovers around PS5 levels of gamability. That's the biggest common baseline hardware all these graphical blockbusters are being developed for -- which means basically 2021 RX 6700 levels of performance. That's also why people are still on GTX 1070 / 1080 Ti cards -- and can play quite a few games as well.

Consoles meanwhile become affected all the same. The PS5 Pro costs basically double of the base PS5 -- and even the Switch 2 is gonna be a 500 EUR console now too.

i mean the 1070 and 1080 aren't bad cards today. i had a 1070 for 8 years and it worked perfectly for my use case up until recently when i wanted to start playing brand new AAA games at 60fps or above.

so i decided to upgrade and the upgrade was very noticeable, almost twice as fast plus you get to use dlss for even more performance. i "can " understand why people buy super high end cards but they are so much more expensive then they used to be. The 1070 at msrp back when it released was 400$ and ran everything maxed out 1440p at like 90-100fps.
now you need to spend like 700-1000+ to get that if not more.

RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, RTX 5090 ...

These are the only cards worth buying right now and they are overpriced.

I have a 4060Ti. If it was available, then I would have gotten a 4070 instead. I would say avoid anything with only 8GB of vRAM.

I have never had a game use all 16GB of vRAM at 1080p (my preferred resolution), but I have had a bunch of game use more than 8GB. Usually they are using are 11GBs.

I want to buy a 9070, but they are not available at MSRP, and ♥♥♥♥ scalpers.

so far the 4060 has been decent and there's nothing that is maxing out a vram
rust gets close at 7.8gb with maxed out textures. also i wish the 4070 wasn't so overpriced atm. they want nearly $1000 cad for it, 4060ti 16gb would have also been nice though i couldn't find one for less then $900 which is way way to much for that card.
