The rx 6600 is arguably the best budget GPU. You can consistently find it for $200 or less. The 6650xt is better, but price is volatile and inventory inconsistent. Plus it isn't power hungry and can safe ly run on a 500w PSU.
Downvoted for the thumbnail. Anyone advocating for buying 8GB card today, taking into account that game devs optimise their games less and less, is delusional. You're setting yourself up for fail. Also, absolutely do not buy 8 GB card if you plan on using any graphics mods ever, because some will increase the VRAM usage, making the game basically unplayable if you hit the limit.
That is also part of the reason why the 1080ti has stayed relevant for so long. 11gb of GDDR5X on a 352 bit bus making it faster memory than a 4070 basically removes any vram bottlenecks making the main limiting factor the gpu itself.
@@PromortalistinGodmode well at least you can now rest easy knowing that with how much Nvidia shafted the 4060 for it to barely gain any performance lift over 3060, 5060 might be the same situation, with zero reason to buy over 4060
@@Shajirr_ I heard the 3000 series cards have bad cooling, they get loud, ofc I'd prefer the 6750xt radeon, I had it here, but the coil whine was unbearable. And at this price point there is no good alternative to the 4060
I just recently bought a 4060 and I got ROASTED hard online, and this video really helped in settling my mind, I am upgrading from an rx550 card and so far the rtx 4060 has served me well
The RTX 4060 is a good card for 1080p. It was criticized too much because of the amount of memory and 128-bit bus. However, if you look at the actual performance, it is more often than not faster than 3060. Perhaps in the future, due to the amount of memory, you will have to reduce the quality of textures, but for another 1-2 years it will run all games at high settings.
I have had a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 1060 3GB ... I too bough a 4060 and paired it with a 5 5600, why the frick would I pay for 4070 which costs ALOT and I do not have a 1440p monitor (and I am not talking about my 520W PSU and B450M motherboard), 4060 is a solid card, do not care about the opinions of low lifers... this PC will serve me for the next 3 to 4 years before buying one brand new but I will not sell it, nope.
one of the mistakes is people not researching much about gpu's then gets scammed with its performance(that's the case in my country)....so i recommended a friend to buy a rx 6600 cause it has great performance and budget wise pretty affordable, but instead he gets a rtx 3050 which sucks and a huge waste of money honestly, his reasoning is it has RTX😭
As a person who does benchmarks, I want to warn everyone who after this video wanted to buy an RTX 4060. First and most importantly, this card has already not enough video memory for ultra textures at 1080p in some modern games. For example, the game horizon forbidden west takes about an hour or two for the memory to fill up and start transferring it into RAM. The glorified frame generation, which only worsens the situation in case of memory shortage lack. Despite the fact that the 3060 is weaker than the 4060 (when 4060 has enough VRAM) I would still give it preference if you find it used, an ordinary user will have fewer problems with it. On it, you can play new AAA gaming in 2K without any problems, with ultra textures and DLSS. If the game allows you to enable frame generation from AMD along with DLSS it is even better, there the 4060 would have long ago choked. No matter what anyone says, a card with a 128 bus and 8 gigabytes of memory has no right to be called higher than 4050 in 2024.
By the way, I didn't say in the video that you need to buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060. I said that the characteristics can be deceiving. Without a doubt, real 12 GB is better than 8 GB and 4 GB is not compensated by increased cache memory and new architecture. At certain settings, the 4060 can lose to the 3060, set it to 1440p and ultra textures and the 4060 will lose.
And it seems strange to me to set unrealistic settings for these video cards. In fact, these are mid-entry-level video cards, why include ultra textures on them? To "enjoy" 30 FPS?
@@livegamesii Actual textures don't have a substantial hit on performance, just on VRAM. If you have a 16gb-20gb GPU, you will basically get the same performance with low textures and ultra textures, it's just that ultra textures use more VRAM. These mid-entry-level video cards can enjoy ultra textures at 60fps if their VRAM and bus width would allow them to. With a 12gb 3060 you can set other game settings (that affect actual GPU performance) to medium or high in order to achieve a solid 60fps and then crank textures to ultra which will help with image quality. The performance impact will be small or non-existant because textures only need VRAM and bandwidth.
@@livegamesii I completely agree with you, I personally have never owned a console. And I will always choose lower graphics and textures in order to get 60 fps.
Getting older sucks... Because I can remember actual budget performance bargains like the GTX260 Core 216 launching for like $250-300 and the 9600GT for like $175. You could actually play DirectX 10 games on them if you had a decent multi core CPU.
@haiwin224 In the future you'll have to change gpu every few years anyway so why pay at least $500 every now and then when you can go half that for more than decent experience.
@@LoneWolf-je9vr You don't understand. In 2008 a customer paid $250-300 for a full featured upper midrange card. The GTX 260 Core 216 was the equivalent of a RTX 4070 Ti Super in terms of performance and placement in Nvidia's product stack in that period. For new DX10 titles like Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Supreme Commander the GTX 260 Core 216 was a great card. There is zero reason the modern equivalent upper midrange card costs $800 when in 2008 it cost $300. $300 in 2008 adjusted for inflation is about $440. Nvidia is ripping everyone off not because their costs have gone up, but rather because they know that people will pay outrageous prices for that performance.
You can look from another perspective. Consider the transistor, density, process size, and die size. The process and die size is getting smaller while packing a whole lot transistor and density. This is just exactly like an itx thingy. You get an itx tax in gpu form . Another easier way to interpret : this is just abstract imagination. Imagine 1000 kg of steel = 1000 of 1 kg steel. The latter will be sold with higher price because you need to consider the energy and cost to cut those into tiny pieces of 1 kg into 1000 of them. And if those action need to add up the profit, it'll add up to the end user price. Probably that's the gist nvidia tax
@@Crunchy-XG I doubt materials cost and lower nanometer processes have increased material and manufacturing costs 200%. Is it more expensive to make more efficient and powerful chips? Sure. I don't think it is 2x more expensive. Even if they are using 200% more materials per GPU PC gaming getting more mainstream would lead to lower cost of raw materials and finished products due to economies of scale. Back when I graduated High School and bought a GTX 260 Core 216 PC gaming was still relatively niche. I knew plenty of my classmates who gamed. Just 90% of them were on console. There was no Twitch. There was not really a lot of PC centered channels on UA-cam. Now gaming on PC is mainstream. I don't buy that Nvidia is taking it in the shorts on the high cost of producing GPUs. I don't believe that they have to charge outrageous prices to their customers. I do believe they have jacked up prices to get max return on each unit sold to keep the shareholders happy.
I went from a GTX 1050 2GB to a RTX 3050 8GB, It was a nice upgrade for me, I'm still using my same CPU, Ryzen 5 2600. It's good for most games that I play, I'm grateful for the upgrade, and ofc, different countries and currencies exists sooo yea.
@vZinDix cus nvidia has more support than amd, such as Blender, content creation, etc. Thats why I went for it. Otherwise if it was just all about gaming then I wouldve gone for the rx 6600
If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard, power supply, CPU, Case, Cooling and RAM. You can compromise on the price of the GPU, because that's the component that is easy to replace and next gen will always offer a better performance. Replacing the GPU with a better one is much easier if the power supply and CPU haven been choosen with future upgrades in mind. It's not unusual to replace the GPU 2 - 3 times with a new gen card before having the need to replace the CPU and RAM (and the mainboard). A good high end power supply can even last 10 years or more. Also a good case with filters at the air intakes reduces the aging of components like PSUs and CPU coolers by reducing dust and dirt inside the case.
Regards : If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard. Go AMD AM5 and you have years to get better CPU with same MB. Get a good PS and you can expand for 5 years both CPU and GPU. Picking a GPU is always a challange as there is so much hype and misinformation floating aroud. Some hate AMD for all the youtube scammers and AMD hype. Others hate NVIDA for insane pricing. Look at what NVIDA just brought to the makret.
about the VRAM, It also depends on your usage, if you are playing 1080p, but at the same time you want to stream on YT/Twitch, get more then 8 GB of VRAM + 8 GB won't be enough in ca 3 yrs if the trend continues
For most of the people gaming is secondary tbh. So while nvdia garden walling its cuda core left many of us no choice other than them for productivity and gaming combo.
@@EpicMinecraft7978 i got me a 6650 XT and its been great. I am running STALKER 2 on mixed high and medium settings getting 70+ FPS at 720p upscaled. Native 1080p looked like the sharpness was cranked to 11 and really flat. Maybe after some patches the optimization will improve.

@parm2-x7h I'm no fanboy I'm just saying what I'm experiencing, that's it, I just teak a few settings and I'm good to go, just call down and relax because it's not that serious bro
Bullshit. Maybe it can play every game that you are using it for, but definitely not every game, even at 1440p. It doesn't even have enough VRAM to play the new Indianna Jones at 1080p high/ultra.
Not only the amount of VRam is important but also its connection to the GPU. The current maximum is 384 bits. Particularly relevant for large textures.
I have two 1440p Ultra Wide monitors one for streaming chat and one for gameplay. I think my RTX 3080 12GB MSI Gaming X Trio and I7 10700K is just enough for this setup at least for a few more years
vram can make a huge difference... have a poc 400$ console, ryzen 5 8600G with 32gb ram, uses 10gb for the igpu, with pbo and image generation, i get on max settings constant more than 30fps 1080p... in modern AAA games...
8 gig vram is a massive problem because games are now gonna have baked in rt which will push 9.5-10 gb of vram even at low settings so it is definitely a massive problem to have 8 gigs because they wont even launch those newer titles just how indiana jones isnt working on 6 gb vram gpus so thats the issue Atleast go for 10 gigs (not recommended) Or 12 gb for a safe spot for next 2-3 years hopefully with dlss and fsr If you go for 16 gb then you are hopefully safe without dlss/fsr
If you are considering a video card only for games, the RX 7700 XT will be more powerful and more profitable. And there is no point in taking the RTX 4060 ti.
Thank you for this video... It was the perspective I needed to finalize my decision. I watched it last night, and today I have a new 7700xt in my possession
try to tweak and undervolt, my 200 watt card now runs on 140 watt at the similar performance but talking about power, you should check ur house if the electricity are stable enough for high power usage
switching from 750ti to 980 soon, I was really hesitant to upgrade my gpu because the system is really old and i rather get a new pc, it just died recently so i have no choice but to build a new one 980 was a gift anyway should be fine for games i was playing and now i can actually upgrade it to something newer later on
Im just glad i got an upgrade, my PC has been doing work for almost 10 years and im finally upgrading the old 3gb 1060 to an 8gb 4060, i looked up guides on installation and saw nothing but roasts about the card and got concerned but now i can at least put the nagging thought behind me.
8gb is dead, unless you like to lower textures to medium for no aparent reason. Gpu can handle it but vram is too low 😂 We got 8gb rx 470 in 2016 and it was way cheaper then current 60 class cards. 8gb in 2024 on $300 is joke
Honestly ive been rocking a 8gb Vram card for a year now and i cannot complain, its just in a few games where i cant run textures on the highest but i dont see any difference either way
the biggest mistake i made was when i got lured into 1440p gaming. i was about to make the same mistake when i was shopping for a 4k monitor when my 1440p broke. but then i realized that i don't need the higher resolution when i can just game on 1080p, since I'm not streaming games anyway. do i decided to just get a 1080p LG ultrawide and it was the best decision ever. now i could max out my rtx 3060 and i even play using my old gtx 1050ti. i recently ordered an rx 6600 for my itx build. i think that's good enough since i only play when i have the time to do so and mostly, its just horizon 4 and some GTA V.
@@artmanrom vram has 0 to do with textures unless the card was never manufactured with them ..I would say 8 gb is sufficient.. as I said before it's the individual needs.
@@evaone4286 the only time it effects textures is If the vram capacity is overloaded . But a 6 gb card compared to a 8 gb will perform the same within the threshold of game demands. ..so even a lower vram card with texture ability still provides textures up to a certain point of thar capacity ..so yes I guess you could say vram effects textures but it does depend on the demand of the game ..if a game only requires 4 gb vram and your comparing a 6 to an 8 there will be no difference because both cards aren't over max capacity .. different manufactured cards vary as well in textures..
Decent advices! I want to add a few things. Advertising can be crazy. Before you bying anything ask yourself : do I really need that? If you play games what kind of games you play and what do they require. Some people might need only a iGPU because they don't play tripple AAA titles, others need more than that. Look at tests for the games you are playing as some games favour more amd and others nvidia. No need to put everyhing on ultra. There are guides for every game how to optimise it and squeez more fps (almost) without loosing quality so even with some budget cards you can enjoy a comfortable experience. Look at your driver options as sometimes they can solve you problems. As some people said: higher fps is good but stable fps is a must.
If you are looking to keep a GPU for an extended period then Nvidia has far superior driver support at the moment. 8gb of VRAM is plenty for most games if you are only playing 1440p. Lots of memory is pointless on weaker cards, it was worth it back in the days of SLi and Crossfire when you could make use of it.
Amd GPu aged better then greevida GPUs and vram is important for textures 12GB is struggling in,new titles forget about 8GB dont buy 8GB cards buy a 16GB vram for 1440p and 12 for 1080p
13:50 One of the best examples of CPUs in 4k resolution is the comparison of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. While the CPUs in Full HD are sometimes a good 30% apart, in 4k it is only 5-10%. Both CPUs have no problem to utilize a 4090 at 100% in 4k.
You forgot one thing and that is AI and locally run LLMs, where GPU RAM is essential. LM Studio give access to very good small LLMs that can fit in 7 GB to 12 GB, this makes it a no brainer to go for the max GPU ram because game dynamics changes dramatically when NPCs actually talk to you as if they're alive!
Nah, me getting the rtx 3080 was the last time getting an nvidia card. Despite all the PR behind raytracing, it's a performance hog, doesn't add much and decreases frames too much, having to depend on DLSS 2, which makes the visuals bad. So much for a flagship Nvidia card They already abandoned 30 series cards in terms of features like DLSS 3.
@@purplewastakenprobably because you're considering only gaming on a card that can do so much more than that. If its only gaming you want to do just go to AMD which has great prices
Wow I am glad I clicked on this video, here I was thinking I already knew plenty about GPUs since past 3 years but I got to learn a couple more things from this video too, not just for GPUs but even for CPUs and architectural improvement! Very great video, you deserved my sub 👍
You didn't understand the point of the video, watch it again. you need to take a card that matches its vram capacity in terms of power. for example, there is an rtx 4060 ti which has 16 GB and for this card this is an excessive amount of memory, but the RX 7700 XT for the same money has 12 GB and is more powerful in raster graphics - it is more preferable and balanced.
I saw a RX 580 tested with 8GB vs 16GB. No res/setting that used more than 8GB ran well - the card isn't powerful enough for any use that uses the extra VRAM.
problem with amd is amd itself, if you have a 6700xt or a 6800xt or a 6900xt then there is no chance that youd be looking at a 7600xt 7700xt 7800xt or a 7900gre since they perform the same, are cheaper on used market and has the same drivers support like fsr and afmf.
Im a bit confused about the « usb power transmission » like the usb 3.1 gen 2 thing could you explain it please and how I know if I use it or not? Thanks for the video it gave a good start for what to check for on a replacement for my graphics card.
7:40 The best example for the 2 fan vs 3 fan is the Shappire 7800 XT PULSE vs Nitro+. If you check the two cards in power only +135mhz is the difference for plus 100 USD. Yeah you got lower heat but how much 5 celsius lower ? Bro......
IMHO the example of an used 1080 / 1080 ti versus a brand new mid range card isn't a common case. That's an option for experienced PC builders that don't shy away from dismanteling graphic card coolers and replace thermal pads or even mount an after market air or water cooler. The more common choice is to buying a brand new mid range next gen card like a 4070 / 4070 ti or one of the last high end cards of the last gen like a 3080 or 3090. Usually the prices are mostly similiar and the high end cards offer more VRAM, while the new gen has better upscaling and raytracing.
2:27 "But this is a feature (that) many gamers don't care about, or even use. Since it's very demanding, and butchers the performance---" Exactly why I've moved to AMD nowadays. Even more so 'cause of "---very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
0:37 Its not mostly because of that There's also problems with some games in particular when it comes to AMD GPUs VRChat in particular has a bug so nasty it fries AMD GPUs
AMD had 2 type of frame gen tbh FSR 3.0 Frame Generation and AFMF FSR are software level, and usually found in-game setting, while AFMF are driver-level framegen and yes, both can be used at the same time, tried this in Warzone, got like 400 fps, with consequences of pixelation during fast movement, so yeah, it's better to use one of them
Personally I need all the VRAM i can get. I do a lot of VR and play VRChat which DEVOURS vram. Currently with 12GB vram in my card it spills over to my system memory and takes up +20GB. If you like vr and vrchat, get more vram
My 1080ti finally died last week =( still ran every game 1080p maxed and some 1440p medium. One thing ill say is, they are just getting old now even with normal use they do wear, so if considering an older option try find new old stock!
The comparison of the RX 7900 to a RTX 4070 isn't fair. One card the RTX is suited for gaming and is a mid tier card while the Rx 7900 is a productivity card. Compare a RX 7800 to a RTX 4080 or lower.
Reasons i chose the graphics card i got. 1 was price, 2 who made it i wanted quality not cheaply made, 3 fast free shipping, 4 it will play the latest games even though i probably won't play the latest for several years yet, and 5 i didn't "need" a high end card since i don't use 4k and never plan on using it ever... my eyes isn't what it use to be anyways so why bother above 2k?... I wanted good enough without a bank loan.
The hardest choice for me is to decide if I want more VRAM and with it longer life of the GPU + better Linux compatibility or the better RT performance.
a month later. people who buy RTX4060Ti 8gb are idiots.🤡 because now 8gb Vram can only play 1080p Low no RT.💩💩 (indiana jones) while 16gb Vram can play 1080p Max setting with RT ON. 😎(can even use 1440p max stting with DLSS 🗿)
you forgot one thing some RTX4060's are actually amazing FPS/EURO even at 8gb vram the Latancies and the Overclock of the chips. i mean damn it breaks 3000mhz withouth breking a sweat and thats the GPU the memory with low latancies and high freqiencies and if you have a 4gb card red or green lying around, and you have enough lanes avail, stick it in might seems akwards but depending on the microcodes and electronics there's a chance some ram might get shared but i havent had many succesfull tets. im running an 14600k with a dual tower cooler with 7/(14)) heatpipes gelid solution phantom black 14. with arctic p14 fans 4000 pm the gpu is also dualreaches similar speeds so all other fan do, yeah, its not meant to be silent btw its far more silent than what i ever had running 1 fan a delta
I am going to get a px in a year. Around €2000, maybe even a bit more. Really wanna grab 7800x3d, hopefully it drops to 450 at least by then. 5070 ti for grsphic card(can also grab 4080 super fpr the same price from second hand good condition if its not available)
Currently building Ryzen 5600X + RX 6600 XT for 1440p, coz I'm not really into new AAA games and you can switch to 1080p settings anyway in heavy games while playing light & medium games in QHD, + all the uses of PC other than gaming.
That's a decent build on a budget, but incase you might consider adding an extra 100$ into the build I would suggest getting a 5700X 3D for cheap which will give you more cores and a 6700xt or 6750XT which will both give you 12GB of Vram that will enable you to play on 1440p Without needing to lower the resolution, both those options will give you an extra 3 to 4 years worth of performance
HI, loved the non-biased concept of your video. Could you add links to complete PC-building products from your Amazon shop? (Motherboards,SSD's, RAM's, Towers, Cooling, PSU's).
Amds graphics card architecture comes from ATI technology a legendary card manufacturer from the mid 80's. The Radeon line has long been considered the king for gamers
My 1060 6gb was roasted 3 years ago. I replaced with 5600xt and my son still can play wukong 1080 quite well. I have finished Eldering with it. Plan to upgrade for FFXVI
I don't think people only choose nvidia because of their name and status. People also choose them because their drivers tend to be way more stable. I don't hate, amd though they're better priced and their longevity tends to be better. But really if you keep you pc properly clean and temps down with good cooling both last years
Is the 3070 still a good card compared to 4060ti? I really wanted to go for the 4060ti but my friends told me not to because 3070 is more powerful. What should I do?
Depends on what games you want to play, if you want to play more taxing games get the 4060ti since it has a lot more VRAM and can run future games, if you want to play games that arent too taxing on performance i guess you can go with the 3070 since the people in the comments say they have no problem with 8VRAM, although im not sure how that translates to Nvidia... Honestly both the cards are pretty much the same, you're just paying. For more VRAM on the 4060ti, either card you choose wont change that much performance. Personally i recommend the 4060ti just because of the VRAM but it is entirely up to what you will be using the card on
I say, if you are going to go for an older card, I say go to the 2080ti, which is newer then the 1080ti and has the first generation of ray tracing.. and it out performs the 1080ti.. and it offers NV link so you can actually put two of them in your computer with the NV Link and it will scale pretty good, with the caveat that not all the newest games actually scale well in SLI.. but many do, so do your homework on that part!! Some of the games scale really really well, Close to double FPS.. NV link being a bit better then just SLI.. and the 2080ti has the older power connectors, is a 2 slot card and you can get the NV links for either 2,3, or 4 slots.. depending on your Motherboards.. but I would suggest going either 3 or 4 slots so as not to have your two graphics cards budded right up against each other, as its harder to cool the top card then..
The first card i bought for myself was a GTX TITAN X Pascal from 2017. It performs slightly better than the 1080 ti in benchmarks, but also has 12 GB VRAM as well. I bought it for around $160 around June 2023, and it served me very well. I could play Star wars Jedi: Survivor at max settings at 4k on my smart TV, which was only up to 30hz sadly, but some how the card could enable raytracing. The raytracing mainly just added the reflections in some surfaces, and slightly improved the lighting in some scenes, but it was running. Pretty solid card if you get one for a good price, or if you are wanting to build a 2016-2018 era PC.
I am still confusee i have 300 dollar for gpu i can get rtx 3070 rtx 4060rtx 3060ti or rx 6700xt for fortnite i heard amd sucks for fortnite on performance mode
8gb is enough for budget pc if you want to fully utilize higher vram you need to tier up your pc and anyone who can afford higher tier pc can afford higher tier gpu.
Well bit rate amount l2 and l3 cache amount of RAM are all important but buying an older last gen video card should absolutely be considered in cost to performance decisions for example I was looking at the rtx 3070 and rtx 4070 and 7800xt and 7900 gre and I discovered with a little research that the rx 6800 non xt was all I needed for my 1440p gaming. On a side note the intel 7th through 10th gen are all the same architecture with few feature differences, but none that really makes the 14nm+++ series so if you are 7th through 10th your fine.
I watched the whole video and I really enjoyed it. Your explanation on every subject, presentation and background music is perfect. Already had some knowledge on all this, but you've made it even clearer. Thank you 👍
you got one thing VERY WRONG. IF you are on a budget older flagships ARE better options in some use cases. if you want to play newer games, that require RT cores, new architecture faster/more VRAM, DLSS and upscaliong, then yes a used new mid range card is a better option but you can get a 1080Ti for like 170 bucks and if you're only gonna be playing rasterized games (like esports), older games or games that arent using mesh rendering (I.E super specific graphically intensive games) and don't see yourself playing those type of games for the next 3 years. then a older flagship is definitely for you, it'll save you money that you can then save up for a new flagship when you actually want to play those graphically demanding games not to mention that a 1080TI can still play graphically demanding games on low setting with medium atni alising quality.
It depends. For gaming I think you can't go wrong with anything. But with productivity and rendering nvidia is the best more vram is better and there is symply no workaround because RTX has the best support for most rendering and video editing programs so yeah.
I bought rtx 4060 because my own purpose for balancing between gaming and premiere pro, not forget for saving electricity bill because using 115 watt for maximum usage, i feel grateful for pay more money for PSU because that is the most vital component of PC
I am planing upgrade my pc by geting a gaming pc (from a laptop with 12gbs ram and an intel i3 6100) and I was wondering if thse spects are good for 1080p gaming CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X GPU: RX 7600 Sapphire Pulse with 8gb Ram: 2 modules of 16 gbs ddr 4 (32gbs in total) Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M PSU: 850w I would be thankful if I get any response from you
Frame generation just feels like a scam, like oohhh, that number is a little higher now, and you can't see the difference between 154 and 187 bc your monitor is 144 hz or is it just me.

@@livegamesii the 4060 has good temps cause it only requires 1 single 8 pin tapping it out at max 180-200w
The rx 6600 is arguably the best budget GPU. You can consistently find it for $200 or less. The 6650xt is better, but price is volatile and inventory inconsistent. Plus it isn't power hungry and can safe
ly run on a 500w PSU.
Downvoted for the thumbnail. Anyone advocating for buying 8GB card today, taking into account that game devs optimise their games less and less, is delusional. You're setting yourself up for fail.
Also, absolutely do not buy 8 GB card if you plan on using any graphics mods ever, because some will increase the VRAM usage, making the game basically unplayable if you hit the limit.
That is also part of the reason why the 1080ti has stayed relevant for so long. 11gb of GDDR5X on a 352 bit bus making it faster memory than a 4070 basically removes any vram bottlenecks making the main limiting factor the gpu itself.
It got ur attention tho

@@PromortalistinGodmode well at least you can now rest easy knowing that with how much Nvidia shafted the 4060 for it to barely gain any performance lift over 3060, 5060 might be the same situation, with zero reason to buy over 4060
@@Shajirr_ I heard the 3000 series cards have bad cooling, they get loud, ofc I'd prefer the 6750xt radeon, I had it here, but the coil whine was unbearable. And at this price point there is no good alternative to the 4060
I just recently bought a 4060 and I got ROASTED hard online, and this video really helped in settling my mind, I am upgrading from an rx550 card and so far the rtx 4060 has served me well
Rtx 4060 is really solid
The RTX 4060 is a good card for 1080p. It was criticized too much because of the amount of memory and 128-bit bus. However, if you look at the actual performance, it is more often than not faster than 3060. Perhaps in the future, due to the amount of memory, you will have to reduce the quality of textures, but for another 1-2 years it will run all games at high settings.

@@artmanrom lol i use on my 3060 raytracing and get a stable 60 fps
As a person who does benchmarks, I want to warn everyone who after this video wanted to buy an RTX 4060. First and most importantly, this card has already not enough video memory for ultra textures at 1080p in some modern games. For example, the game horizon forbidden west takes about an hour or two for the memory to fill up and start transferring it into RAM. The glorified frame generation, which only worsens the situation in case of memory shortage lack. Despite the fact that the 3060 is weaker than the 4060 (when 4060 has enough VRAM) I would still give it preference if you find it used, an ordinary user will have fewer problems with it. On it, you can play new AAA gaming in 2K without any problems, with ultra textures and DLSS. If the game allows you to enable frame generation from AMD along with DLSS it is even better, there the 4060 would have long ago choked. No matter what anyone says, a card with a 128 bus and 8 gigabytes of memory has no right to be called higher than 4050 in 2024.
By the way, I didn't say in the video that you need to buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060. I said that the characteristics can be deceiving. Without a doubt, real 12 GB is better than 8 GB and 4 GB is not compensated by increased cache memory and new architecture. At certain settings, the 4060 can lose to the 3060, set it to 1440p and ultra textures and the 4060 will lose.
And it seems strange to me to set unrealistic settings for
these video cards. In fact, these are mid-entry-level video cards, why include ultra textures on them? To "enjoy" 30 FPS?
@@livegamesii Actual textures don't have a substantial hit on performance, just on VRAM. If you have a 16gb-20gb GPU, you will basically get the same performance with low textures and ultra textures, it's just that ultra textures use more VRAM.
These mid-entry-level video cards can enjoy ultra textures at 60fps if their VRAM and bus width would allow them to.
With a 12gb 3060 you can set other game settings (that affect actual GPU performance) to medium or high in order to achieve a solid 60fps and then crank textures to ultra which will help with image quality. The performance impact will be small or non-existant because textures only need VRAM and bandwidth.
@@livegamesii I completely agree with you, I personally have never owned a console. And I will always choose lower graphics and textures in order to get 60 fps.
4060 never should have been created.
"Here are some budget GPUs"
(The cheapest being 400€/~$450)
Y'all either never knew or have forgot about what "budget option" actually is.
Getting older sucks... Because I can remember actual budget performance bargains like the GTX260 Core 216 launching for like $250-300 and the 9600GT for like $175. You could actually play DirectX 10 games on them if you had a decent multi core CPU.
@haiwin224
In the future you'll have to change gpu every few years anyway so why pay at least $500 every now and then when you can go half that for more than decent experience.
@@LoneWolf-je9vr You don't understand. In 2008 a customer paid $250-300 for a full featured upper midrange card. The GTX 260 Core 216 was the equivalent of a RTX 4070 Ti Super in terms of performance and placement in Nvidia's product stack in that period. For new DX10 titles like Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Supreme Commander the GTX 260 Core 216 was a great card. There is zero reason the modern equivalent upper midrange card costs $800 when in 2008 it cost $300. $300 in 2008 adjusted for inflation is about $440. Nvidia is ripping everyone off not because their costs have gone up, but rather because they know that people will pay outrageous prices for that performance.
You can look from another perspective.
Consider the transistor, density, process size, and die size. The process and die size is getting smaller while packing a whole lot transistor and density. This is just exactly like an itx thingy. You get an itx tax in gpu form .
Another easier way to interpret : this is just abstract imagination. Imagine 1000 kg of steel = 1000 of 1 kg steel. The latter will be sold with higher price because you need to consider the energy and cost to cut those into tiny pieces of 1 kg into 1000 of them. And if those action need to add up the profit, it'll add up to the end user price. Probably that's the gist nvidia tax
@@Crunchy-XG I doubt materials cost and lower nanometer processes have increased material and manufacturing costs 200%. Is it more expensive to make more efficient and powerful chips? Sure. I don't think it is 2x more expensive. Even if they are using 200% more materials per GPU PC gaming getting more mainstream would lead to lower cost of raw materials and finished products due to economies of scale. Back when I graduated High School and bought a GTX 260 Core 216 PC gaming was still relatively niche. I knew plenty of my classmates who gamed. Just 90% of them were on console. There was no Twitch. There was not really a lot of PC centered channels on UA-cam. Now gaming on PC is mainstream. I don't buy that Nvidia is taking it in the shorts on the high cost of producing GPUs. I don't believe that they have to charge outrageous prices to their customers. I do believe they have jacked up prices to get max return on each unit sold to keep the shareholders happy.
I went from a GTX 1050 2GB to a RTX 3050 8GB, It was a nice upgrade for me, I'm still using my same CPU, Ryzen 5 2600. It's good for most games that I play, I'm grateful for the upgrade, and ofc, different countries and currencies exists sooo yea.

@@ianapriyatna8177 maybe he dosnt have a good budget
If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard, power supply, CPU, Case, Cooling and RAM.
You can compromise on the price of the GPU, because that's the component that is easy to replace and next gen will always offer a better performance. Replacing the GPU with a better one is much easier if the power supply and CPU haven been choosen with future upgrades in mind.
It's not unusual to replace the GPU 2 - 3 times with a new gen card before having the need to replace the CPU and RAM (and the mainboard). A good high end power supply can even last 10 years or more. Also a good case with filters at the air intakes reduces the aging of components like PSUs and CPU coolers by reducing dust and dirt inside the case.
Regards : If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard. Go AMD AM5 and you have years to get better CPU with same MB. Get a good PS and you can expand for 5 years both CPU and GPU. Picking a GPU is always a challange as there is so much hype and misinformation floating aroud. Some hate AMD for all the youtube scammers and AMD hype. Others hate NVIDA for insane pricing. Look at what NVIDA just brought to the makret.
for overall, i would've choose mid-level build since they offer better bang for the bucks in the overall run.
about the VRAM, It also depends on your usage, if you are playing 1080p, but at the same time you want to stream on YT/Twitch, get more then 8 GB of VRAM + 8 GB won't be enough in ca 3 yrs if the trend continues

Maybe it can play every game that you are using it for, but definitely not every game, even at 1440p. It doesn't even have enough VRAM to play the new Indianna Jones at 1080p high/ultra.
Not only the amount of VRam is important but also its connection to the GPU.
The current maximum is 384 bits.
Particularly relevant for large textures.

Atleast go for 10 gigs (not recommended)

the biggest mistake i made was when i got lured into 1440p gaming. i was about to make the same mistake when i was shopping for a 4k monitor when my 1440p broke. but then i realized that i don't need the higher resolution when i can just game on 1080p, since I'm not streaming games anyway. do i decided to just get a 1080p LG ultrawide and it was the best decision ever. now i could max out my rtx 3060 and i even play using my old gtx 1050ti. i recently ordered an rx 6600 for my itx build. i think that's good enough since i only play when i have the time to do so and mostly, its just horizon 4 and some GTA V.
I wouldn't buy a 8GB GFX card now even for 1080p gaming.
Going this year to upgrade my 2080ti graphics card....hopefully to a 'cheaper' 4080 or 4090 after the 5000 series had been announced.
What about power consumption????
Nvidia wins this one hands down, especially with 4060 and 4070. That's the only reason I'd still buy Nvidia.
At 4. Some manufacturer uses higher end parts/chips for the said cards. You can see less problems from the expensive ones.
8gb cards cant run anything now days. Stop advertising crap.
With muddy textures. LOL
@@artmanrom vram has 0 to do with textures unless the card was never manufactured with them ..I would say 8 gb is sufficient.. as I said before it's the individual needs.
@@mhaden-k8zvram does affect texture quality. Not sure what you mean
@@evaone4286 the only time it effects textures is If the vram capacity is overloaded . But a 6 gb card compared to a 8 gb will perform the same within the threshold of game demands. ..so even a lower vram card with texture ability still provides textures up to a certain point of thar capacity ..so yes I guess you could say vram effects textures but it does depend on the demand of the game ..if a game only requires 4 gb vram and your comparing a 6 to an 8 there will be no difference because both cards aren't over max capacity .. different manufactured cards vary as well in textures..
I have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D coupled with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
good build👍
Decent advices! I want to add a few things. Advertising can be crazy. Before you bying anything ask yourself : do I really need that? If you play games what kind of games you play and what do they require. Some people might need only a iGPU because they don't play tripple AAA titles, others need more than that. Look at tests for the games you are playing as some games favour more amd and others nvidia. No need to put everyhing on ultra. There are guides for every game how to optimise it and squeez more fps (almost) without loosing quality so even with some budget cards you can enjoy a comfortable experience. Look at your driver options as sometimes they can solve you problems. As some people said: higher fps is good but stable fps is a must.
If you are looking to keep a GPU for an extended period then Nvidia has far superior driver support at the moment. 8gb of VRAM is plenty for most games if you are only playing 1440p. Lots of memory is pointless on weaker cards, it was worth it back in the days of SLi and Crossfire when you could make use of it.
Believe me amd are fine don't believe the hype around nvidia cards 16gb amd beats 8 or even 12gb nvidia.
Amd GPu aged better then greevida GPUs and vram is important for textures 12GB is struggling in,new titles forget about 8GB dont buy 8GB cards buy a 16GB vram for 1440p and 12 for 1080p
My first gaming pc build it was RX6500XT 4GB with Ryzen 5 3600, so far i already used it for almost 2 month
8 gb is not enough on forza motorsport on highest settings on 1080p.
if you are a fan of this game, you will have to buy a 12 GB card 😥
8gb is also not enough for high quality textures even at 1080p in horizon games
13:50 One of the best examples of CPUs in 4k resolution is the comparison of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. While the CPUs in Full HD are sometimes a good 30% apart, in 4k it is only 5-10%. Both CPUs have no problem to utilize a 4090 at 100% in 4k.
Just depends on whether you got a am4 board or a am5
@@adamduffield7782 It will affect which CPU you have to buy, if that's what you mean. Otherwise i don't really understand your comment.
There's only one mistake you could make, and that is choosing a GPU in 2024.
You forgot one thing and that is AI and locally run LLMs, where GPU RAM is essential. LM Studio give access to very good small LLMs that can fit in 7 GB to 12 GB, this makes it a no brainer to go for the max GPU ram because game dynamics changes dramatically when NPCs actually talk to you as if they're alive!
GPU is NVIDIA
CPU is AMD.
Nah, me getting the rtx 3080 was the last time getting an nvidia card. Despite all the PR behind raytracing, it's a performance hog, doesn't add much and decreases frames too much, having to depend on DLSS 2, which makes the visuals bad. So much for a flagship Nvidia card
They already abandoned 30 series cards in terms of features like DLSS 3.
@@purplewastakenprobably because you're considering only gaming on a card that can do so much more than that. If its only gaming you want to do just go to AMD which has great prices
Wow I am glad I clicked on this video, here I was thinking I already knew plenty about GPUs since past 3 years but I got to learn a couple more things from this video too, not just for GPUs but even for CPUs and architectural improvement!
Very great video, you deserved my sub 👍
Thank you for liking my video and thank you for subscribing ❤️
youre really wanting people to get a 8GB VRAM than a 16GB VRAM?
You didn't understand the point of the video, watch it again. you need to take a card that matches its vram capacity in terms of power. for example, there is an rtx 4060 ti which has 16 GB and for this card this is an excessive amount of memory, but the RX 7700 XT for the same money has 12 GB and is more powerful in raster graphics - it is more preferable and balanced.
I saw a RX 580 tested with 8GB vs 16GB.
No res/setting that used more than 8GB ran well - the card isn't powerful enough for any use that uses the extra VRAM.
@ black ops 6 uses around 13 to 14 GB of VRAM on 1440 extreme settings.
@@hrayz The RX 580 was 4 vs 8. Where did you find a 16?
Id like to buy whole new pc with 32inch qhd 75hz,whats the minimum gpu for gaming lets say little older or not the demand of the new ones?
problem with amd is amd itself, if you have a 6700xt or a 6800xt or a 6900xt then there is no chance that youd be looking at a 7600xt 7700xt 7800xt or a 7900gre since they perform the same, are cheaper on used market and has the same drivers support like fsr and afmf.
Im a bit confused about the « usb power transmission » like the usb 3.1 gen 2 thing could you explain it please and how I know if I use it or not? Thanks for the video it gave a good start for what to check for on a replacement for my graphics card.
7:40
The best example for the 2 fan vs 3 fan is the Shappire 7800 XT PULSE vs Nitro+. If you check the two cards in power only +135mhz is the difference for plus 100 USD. Yeah you got lower heat but how much 5 celsius lower ? Bro......
IMHO the example of an used 1080 / 1080 ti versus a brand new mid range card isn't a common case. That's an option for experienced PC builders that don't shy away from dismanteling graphic card coolers and replace thermal pads or even mount an after market air or water cooler.
The more common choice is to buying a brand new mid range next gen card like a 4070 / 4070 ti or one of the last high end cards of the last gen like a 3080 or 3090. Usually the prices are mostly similiar and the high end cards offer more VRAM, while the new gen has better upscaling and raytracing.

"But this is a feature (that) many gamers don't care about, or even use. Since it's very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
Exactly why I've moved to AMD nowadays. Even more so 'cause of "---very demanding, and butchers the performance---"
you must take in consideration that most nvidia users aren't only buying it for gaming they use nvidia because of its overall usability
0:37
Its not mostly because of that
There's also problems with some games in particular when it comes to AMD GPUs
VRChat in particular has a bug so nasty it fries AMD GPUs
I am sure golfevered ones will come up with a even better gpu next year even if it only adds 3 fps for a thousand bucks extra.
AMD had 2 type of frame gen tbh
FSR 3.0 Frame Generation and AFMF
FSR are software level, and usually found in-game setting, while AFMF are driver-level framegen
and yes, both can be used at the same time, tried this in Warzone, got like 400 fps, with consequences of pixelation during fast movement, so yeah, it's better to use one of them
Radeon RX 6750 XT is a good GPU? I pretend using with the Ryzen 7 5700X
I like gaming on upscaled 4k in open world games. Vram becomes a very large factor for people like me.
Grab a 1080ti and never look back
Personally I need all the VRAM i can get. I do a lot of VR and play VRChat which DEVOURS vram. Currently with 12GB vram in my card it spills over to my system memory and takes up +20GB. If you like vr and vrchat, get more vram
My 1080ti finally died last week =( still ran every game 1080p maxed and some 1440p medium. One thing ill say is, they are just getting old now even with normal use they do wear, so if considering an older option try find new old stock!
The comparison of the RX 7900 to a RTX 4070 isn't fair. One card the RTX is suited for gaming and is a mid tier card while the Rx 7900 is a productivity card. Compare a RX 7800 to a RTX 4080 or lower.
Reasons i chose the graphics card i got. 1 was price, 2 who made it i wanted quality not cheaply made, 3 fast free shipping, 4 it will play the latest games even though i probably won't play the latest for several years yet, and 5 i didn't "need" a high end card since i don't use 4k and never plan on using it ever... my eyes isn't what it use to be anyways so why bother above 2k?... I wanted good enough without a bank loan.
I am going for the 3060 rtx 12gb since i have a 3600x i have on me for vrchat
The hardest choice for me is to decide if I want more VRAM and with it longer life of the GPU + better Linux compatibility or the better RT performance.
a month later.
people who buy RTX4060Ti 8gb are idiots.🤡
because now 8gb Vram can only play 1080p Low no RT.💩💩 (indiana jones)
while 16gb Vram can play 1080p Max setting with RT ON. 😎(can even use 1440p max stting with DLSS 🗿)
you forgot one thing some RTX4060's are actually amazing FPS/EURO even at 8gb vram the Latancies and the Overclock of the chips. i mean damn it breaks 3000mhz withouth breking a sweat and thats the GPU the memory with low latancies and high freqiencies and if you have a 4gb card red or green lying around, and you have enough lanes avail, stick it in might seems akwards but depending on the microcodes and electronics there's a chance some ram might get shared but i havent had many succesfull tets. im running an 14600k with a dual tower cooler with 7/(14)) heatpipes gelid solution phantom black 14. with arctic p14 fans 4000
pm the gpu is also dualreaches similar speeds so all other fan do, yeah, its not meant to be silent btw its far more silent than what i ever had running 1 fan a delta
I am going to get a px in a year. Around €2000, maybe even a bit more. Really wanna grab 7800x3d, hopefully it drops to 450 at least by then. 5070 ti for grsphic card(can also grab 4080 super fpr the same price from second hand good condition if its not available)
im building a pc rn, i got a rx 580 for the gpu and a intel i7-7700K for the cpu. Thoughts?
Im upgrading from a 1060 to a set up with a 4060ti so im a 4060 enjoyer. Im gonna be happy for the next few years.
Currently building Ryzen 5600X + RX 6600 XT for 1440p, coz I'm not really into new AAA games and you can switch to 1080p settings anyway in heavy games while playing light & medium games in QHD, + all the uses of PC other than gaming.
That's a decent build on a budget, but incase you might consider adding an extra 100$ into the build I would suggest getting a 5700X 3D for cheap which will give you more cores and a 6700xt or 6750XT which will both give you 12GB of Vram that will enable you to play on 1440p Without needing to lower the resolution, both those options will give you an extra 3 to 4 years worth of performance
HI, loved the non-biased concept of your video.
Could you add links to complete PC-building products from your Amazon shop? (Motherboards,SSD's, RAM's, Towers, Cooling, PSU's).
Amds graphics card architecture comes from ATI technology a legendary card manufacturer from the mid 80's. The Radeon line has long been considered the king for gamers
My 1060 6gb was roasted 3 years ago. I replaced with 5600xt and my son still can play wukong 1080 quite well. I have finished Eldering with it. Plan to upgrade for FFXVI
I bought 4 months ago a AMD RX 6750 XT on amazon 450 euro n it runs great
plz suggest a gpu for me core 2duo 250 gb hard and 4gb ram and 250W power supply plz tell compatible
I don't think people only choose nvidia because of their name and status. People also choose them because their drivers tend to be way more stable. I don't hate, amd though they're better priced and their longevity tends to be better. But really if you keep you pc properly clean and temps down with good cooling both last years
Is the 3070 still a good card compared to 4060ti? I really wanted to go for the 4060ti but my friends told me not to because 3070 is more powerful. What should I do?
Depends on what games you want to play, if you want to play more taxing games get the 4060ti since it has a lot more VRAM and can run future games, if you want to play games that arent too taxing on performance i guess you can go with the 3070 since the people in the comments say they have no problem with 8VRAM, although im not sure how that translates to Nvidia... Honestly both the cards are pretty much the same, you're just paying. For more VRAM on the 4060ti, either card you choose wont change that much performance. Personally i recommend the 4060ti just because of the VRAM but it is entirely up to what you will be using the card on
I say, if you are going to go for an older card, I say go to the 2080ti, which is newer then the 1080ti and has the first generation of ray tracing.. and it out performs the 1080ti.. and it offers NV link so you can actually put two of them in your computer with the NV Link and it will scale pretty good, with the caveat that not all the newest games actually scale well in SLI.. but many do, so do your homework on that part!! Some of the games scale really really well, Close to double FPS.. NV link being a bit better then just SLI.. and the 2080ti has the older power connectors, is a 2 slot card and you can get the NV links for either 2,3, or 4 slots.. depending on your Motherboards.. but I would suggest going either 3 or 4 slots so as not to have your two graphics cards budded right up against each other, as its harder to cool the top card then..
The first card i bought for myself was a GTX TITAN X Pascal from 2017. It performs slightly better than the 1080 ti in benchmarks, but also has 12 GB VRAM as well. I bought it for around $160 around June 2023, and it served me very well. I could play Star wars Jedi: Survivor at max settings at 4k on my smart TV, which was only up to 30hz sadly, but some how the card could enable raytracing. The raytracing mainly just added the reflections in some surfaces, and slightly improved the lighting in some scenes, but it was running. Pretty solid card if you get one for a good price, or if you are wanting to build a 2016-2018 era PC.
For this money, a great graphics card!👍
Btw, subscribe to the channel, there will be many interesting videos about computer hardware!)
I am still confusee i have 300 dollar for gpu i can get rtx 3070 rtx 4060rtx 3060ti or rx 6700xt for fortnite i heard amd sucks for fortnite on performance mode
how u didnt recommend rx6700xt & rx6750xt in "Budget graphics cards" ???
in ur opinion ,,i have r5 5600g what gpu i should get tnx
What should j buy rx 7600 or rx 7600 xt ?? I will play on 1080p with 5 7600
8gb is enough for budget pc if you want to fully utilize higher vram you need to tier up your pc and anyone who can afford higher tier pc can afford higher tier gpu.
Well bit rate amount l2 and l3 cache amount of RAM are all important but buying an older last gen video card should absolutely be considered in cost to performance decisions for example I was looking at the rtx 3070 and rtx 4070 and 7800xt and 7900 gre and I discovered with a little research that the rx 6800 non xt was all I needed for my 1440p gaming.
On a side note the intel 7th through 10th gen are all the same architecture with few feature differences, but none that really makes the 14nm+++ series so if you are 7th through 10th your fine.
I watched the whole video and I really enjoyed it. Your explanation on every subject, presentation and background music is perfect.
Already had some knowledge on all this, but you've made it even clearer. Thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you remake the video without the background music/noise please?
you got one thing VERY WRONG. IF you are on a budget older flagships ARE better options in some use cases. if you want to play newer games, that require RT cores, new architecture faster/more VRAM, DLSS and upscaliong, then yes a used new mid range card is a better option but you can get a 1080Ti for like 170 bucks and if you're only gonna be playing rasterized games (like esports), older games or games that arent using mesh rendering (I.E super specific graphically intensive games) and don't see yourself playing those type of games for the next 3 years. then a older flagship is definitely for you, it'll save you money that you can then save up for a new flagship when you actually want to play those graphically demanding games not to mention that a 1080TI can still play graphically demanding games on low setting with medium atni alising quality.
It depends. For gaming I think you can't go wrong with anything. But with productivity and rendering nvidia is the best more vram is better and there is symply no workaround because RTX has the best support for most rendering and video editing programs so yeah.
I bought rtx 4060 because my own purpose for balancing between gaming and premiere pro, not forget for saving electricity bill because using 115 watt for maximum usage, i feel grateful for pay more money for PSU because that is the most vital component of PC
I am planing upgrade my pc by geting a gaming pc (from a laptop with 12gbs ram and an intel i3 6100) and I was wondering if thse spects are good for 1080p gaming

I would be thankful if I get any response from you
VRAM is also used for AI stuff. So, 8gb isn't that great. XD 12gb minimal for AI generated images.
Frame generation just feels like a scam, like oohhh, that number is a little higher now, and you can't see the difference between 154 and 187 bc your monitor is 144 hz or is it just me.
