Nvidia Clown Themselves… Again! GeForce RTX 4060 Review
I have obviously not been paying enough attention to the GPU space recently. Isn’t a $300 gpu with these performance numbers a good thing? Is it just that its performance isn’t where we think it should be based on its generation?
Pretty much confirmed to be a $299 XX50.
There's no reason for nvidia to care about the gamers anymore. In the past they were slutting for crypto miners and now that it has died out the ai is the new money train. And because ai has REAL and very impactful uses it means that nvidia won't be caring about gamers for a very long time if at all.
This is a $300 card because it's priced at $300.
This card is genuinely an RTX 4050, labeled as a 4060, charging as much. This also doesn't factor that NVIDIA has slowly been lowering the naming scheme over the last few years, so they could increase the price for lower tier cards, but bumping up the name. The ti/super names make it easier.
But what these reviews have confirmed is that the performance is sometimes worse than a 3060, with lower specs, years after release. Consider this with just the fact that the 3090 to 4090 saw a +70% increase in performance.
With this card struggling to match the previous gen '60, this isn't a GPU that is the same chip stack as the 3060 was in its lineup.
We have seen around a +25% improvement in performance per year in Graphics cards, however both chip makers have been increasing pricing around the same as well, while enough general consumers don't know that means relative value is declining for the sake of increased profits.
NVIDIA just became a trillion dollar company.
Sad but true. Hopefully AI hardware and graphics hardware will see differentiation on due course, but I'm not holding out much hope
