1500 would be OK for that monster. Sadly they are around 2000$ cheapest models most of the times in recent times. 1700 or so at the best of times. But even even IF I could afford it, I probably wouldn't for fear off GPU/PSU melting connector.
@GameslordXY It shouldn't even be over $1000 either. A company should only be allowed to price a product when proven maximum usage has been achieved so the price is justified. The 3090ti can't even be used at max usage, so how would the 50 series cards do it? I think you see my point so even $1500 is too high. But sadly even if they could, they won't because that would prevent the rest of the 4090s from selling

Only decent frame generation.

@@jyrikoskinen1976 SAM is just a marketing term for resizable BAR, which NVIDIA and Intel also can do. The 7900XTX wins by being cheaper and comparable in rasterization.
4080 Super = dlss, ray tracing, frame gen, better for content creators (not a lot better than the XTX) 16gb of VRAM, better than the XTX for other things like blender, adobe XTX = Pure Rastorization that's slightly better than the 4080 super (without FSR, ray tracing, dlss or frame gen enabled) 24 GB of VRAM, considerably cheaper than the 4080 Super, possibly AMD's last high end GPU
The xtx is at a really good price right now and will get even better during black friday. If you want a xtx go for it. The one I'd hesitate for is a 4080 super since its at least $1000. The 5080 is right around the corner for better performance and similar price.
Totally agree. Thinking about 7900xtx this black friday... but if I dont get 7800x3d for normal price, will wait till new year and get 9800x3d plus 5080 maybe.
It won't be the same price though. Youll be waiting another half a year to get one that the scalpers didn't get. So if your lucky you can get it for a similar price. Same thing with the 4090. People saying don't spend the 2k on a 4090 the 5090 will be better and close to that price. Ya if you could actually get it from a retailer haha. You won't for months. So 4090 for 2k or 5090 for 3500 you tell me if you shouldn't get the 4000 now
I love how you mentioned to not buy the 7900 XTX, but instead to buy a 4080 or a 4080 super, when the 7900 XTX is typically faster than those cards while costing less money.
Note that 8GB cards are a VERY good value for a significant portion of the gaming community. These folks aren't playing the latest AAA games. And will NOT be doing so. They're playing 4X games or puzzle games, or stuff from 5-10 years ago that's still going strong. These folks need a more *powerful* card than what they have, but their games aren't big texture hogs. Something like a 4060 or 7600 is a great idea for someone on a 1650 Super who wants to play at 1440p on Stellaris. Or has World of Tanks. Don't makes the false assumption that "gaming" means you only play RDR2 or COD2 or Death Stranding. 90% of the gaming community doesn't and wont be playing AAA games made in the last 2 years.
@@Hikari_to_Yuri I run almost every game at high settings just fine around 120fps, but I’m forced to upgrade because tarkov sucks and has 0 optimization so I get like 50-70 fps which is brutal in a game like that
@@fuggnuggs1471The 4070 is way more expensive than the 7800XT and only outperforms it in ray-tracing. The RX 7800XT is better in raw performance and even has 4GB VRAM more! It’s a great card, even for game development. I can recommend it, as I have it in my own rig.
The 4060 is actually a great card for 1080p gaming and will be for a while. I know 4K is becoming more and more sought after, but for anyone who doesn't care about 4K, the 4060's 8GB of VRAM is going to go a long way especially pairing it with DLSS. Straight up saying it's a bad purchase is incredibly misleading without context.
It's not that 4060 is a bad card, if you're buying all new 4060 for a good price is a very good choice. The trouble is if you're upgrading from 3060 or 2070 - the very small performance gain isn't worth it. Besides used 3070 exists.
And it’s great at 1440p for less demanding games such as FPS. I know you don’t need to visual upgrade for those games generally but mine runs great with games like CS or Overwatch at 1440p.
I think one of the biggest issues we’ve seen with GPU’s came out of the pandemic. We haven’t recovered from the scalping nonsense of 2020, and by extension, 2024. There is no reason to spend $1100 on a GPU alone. I’m concerned for the future, more so as an American PC gamer due to anticipated Tariffs in the next year, which may increase prices more. It feels as though PC companies, some not all, are making PC building into luxury brands: flashy and Uber-expensive.
If the game is playable, and you get anything above 60fps, it's still perfectly serviceable. These people who do the VRAM fearmongering think that everybody plays games competitively, the only time when high FPS matters.
First 2 I can’t afford so they’re out of the question. Second two, if I were to buy them, would have enough VRAM for anything I’ll be doing both now and in the future, so if I wanted to buy them I would.
The problem with this is that right now you shouldnt buy ANY nvidia card as the new range is just around the corner. Of course the high end AMD cards are still good but even with them it is likely that once the 50-series from nvidia comes out the 4080 will likely drop to a similar/cheaper price compared to the 7900xtx making it an objectively better choice.
i am actually terrifyed how many people argue in benefits of the 4080 because of DLSS. Hands down, any form of framegen or upscaling is inferiour to native and should not even be considered a valid point for latest gen 1000$ msrp cards. If you make it a point for budget gpus i can see that.
I mean Framegen started out and is at least at quality setting an acceptable thing for 4k. At 4k quality in most games you can hardly even notice a loss in quality but can gain 30% more fps. At 1440p if you need framegen you might as well go back to 1080p, at 1080p framegen you might as well get a console. Sadly too many publishers have used the excuse of framegen to not even try to optimize their games anymore and now we have $1000 gpu unable to run 1440p native at 144 fps.
Yeah, seems like his 'testing' was done at 1080p where your CPU is a bigger factor. At 1440P and up, the gap between XT and XTX is VERY noticeable. The 4080/4080super also only beats the XTX if you have RT on. ANY other situation, they trade blows, which makes the price difference between them the deciding factor for those who aren't Nvidia biased.
Well I was able to snag the 4060 on Amazon for a good 180$. I'd say it is well worth it since I have a 1080p monitor. I'm saving up for the 5090 and a 4k monitor anyways. I can run starfield all on ultra with DLSS and FG and get above 100 fps most of the time. So I'd says the 4060 is worth it if u have a 1080 p monitor
comparing the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX at ultra high FPS is so idiotic because it becomes more CPU dependent. The XT cannot touch the XTX on demanding titles
The 4090 is no longer in production, and the price premium means the cheapest model starts at $2,000. I think there is nothing wrong with the 7900xtx, and there are even good discounts on Black Friday. As for cards like the 4060, 6750xt, and 6750gre, they have always been good value for money choices. You can see that the sales of the 3060 are still very high, and you get what you pay for. Even if there are similar models in the future, there will not be a big improvement.
Built my first PC here a few weeks ago. Paired a Ryzen 7 7800X3D with a 7900XT. Absolute beast of a PC. 20GB VRAM is more than enough for a superpower 1440p machine.
People just buy whatever budget is comfortable with you and a little research even my 4060 works great at 1440p and with dlss 3 and frame generation it provides more fps too
for avarage high to ultra gaming. for 1080p get an rx 6600 or 3060. for 1440p get an 7700xt or 4070 (if cheap get last gen cards (more power draw though) like rtx 3080 or rx 6800. for 4k get a 7900XT or XTX or a 4080 (super) depending on local pricing. if you're a content creator or like raytracing you might prefer nvidia but if you want cheap and good gaming for a fair price go with amd
Just bought a xtx for £800. I’ll run it into the ground, show me a next gen gpu in that price range and I’ll regret my decision.. absolute monster compared to what I previously owned.
The 4090 and the 7900XTX are geared towards professionals and ML/AI engineers with their 24GB of VRAM. Don't buy them until you're using them to gain money.
the 4060 isn’t really that bad it’s the minimum gpu that supports dlss 3.1 and depending on what you’re upgrading from it could be a big difference you can still run all of the newest games out and for only 300 dollars it’s perfect for budget builds
yeah but a 4060ti (8gb) or if u wanna go down a generation a 3070 are better options i would say and if your going amd basically everything around that price range is better
You could of got RTX 4060 ti 16 GB, version it's not that much more, so it can last you. AMD is good for affordability, for quality and performance NVIDIA is the way.
I got my 7900XTX for 600 right now. The XT goes for 500, and the price difference really justifies the XTX right now. The price may dip soon, but it might just as well skyrocket since the 8800 is supposed to be aimed at mid market, and the XTX is likely going out of production not to eat into the 8800 market. And the 5090 going for 2500 is going to replace the 4090 in production, so their price is gonna skyrocket as well. And those are the only alternatives for 4k gaming.
If u upgraded from something like a 1050/1060, the 4060 is a very good card These youtubers calling it bad are disconected from reality, the majority of gamers are low spec and cant afford a 1k gpu UA-camrs are too fixated on 1440p and 4k resolutions, while the majority of gamers uses 1080p or tvs
I have the same problem of no AMD available. My choices now are the 4060 (like you) or a used 3070. If your country doesn't have a good used market (like me), or doesn't have one at all, you might've just picked the only option at that price point. Even if a used 3070 was available to you, the 4060 will get more support for longer, and don't forget the warranty and savings on power consumption. You didn't make a bad choice. The people who say the 4060 is a bad card are also people who are in a position to have better cards.
What amazing advice ''Don't buy the most expensive cards, but also don't buy the cheapest cards either because they don't have enough VRAM'' - like....what? What if people can only afford a 4060?!? 8GB of VRAM is fine for most games, unless you wanna play AAA titles on ultra settings - and no one looking at that is buying a 4060!!
Avoid buying a GPU for the next 5 years. I’m building a brand new PC with a 4060 and it’s what I can afford. Not everyone can afford the most expensive GPU in on the market
You're only right about the XTX. That cards is a 100$ away from the 4080 Super which has all Nvidia features + the option for CUDA + significantly better RT performance. It doesn't make sense to buy it
4060ti with 16gb is amazing as a budget local LLM and Stable diffusion card, plus its power usage is really good. 4090 is an amazing card for people who Game, VR, local AI, creative work if you have the money that 24gb Vram is amazing and sadly the 7900xtx doesn't come close (have owned both and currently waiting to buy a 4090 again)
4060 OC 8GB was a 135% upgrade above my GTX 1660 Super, for the price I paid 460$ CAD and when I bought my GTX 1660 Super in 2020 it was 390$ CAD. So I am glad I upgraded, I also had no choice since a power outage blew my card and all I had was a GTX 1650 to replace it.
7900 XTX is better than 4080 😂 I can already hear fanboys crying about RT. RT is one of the most exxagerated feature ever if not the most. DLSS on the other hand is a valid argument but for me, it doesn’t cut the price difference. For me, the only purchase that makes sense if you wanna buy Nvidia is a 4090 and thats if you really want a powerhouse.
You can't say don't buy it, like right now its better waiting for the prices to drop when the new gen comes. But if you need a gpu and don't mind a new better gpu releasing just after then just get one. 8gb of vram, is perfectly fine for some use cases. Especially since dlss and fsr frame gen are really good for budget systems.
It makes sense if you look at the price of the 5090 - but if you are buying a 90 iteration you're clearly looking for a top-of-the-line piece of hardware, so are probably already prepared to pay out. I have a 4090, and I was lucky enough to get it for just a bit above 1600. I freaking love it. Considering the 5090 is going to be an absurd price, I sincerely wish I could just fork over the money for one of those too, but I guess I got my 4090 not all that long after they were restocked for (probably) the first time at those vendors. I'll have to see just how much better it is, before I decide to buy a 5090 - as much as I love my 4090, for those suggested prices, it had better damn well be a LOT better.
7900 XTX is a great buy if you have the money. VRAM for the future and you might not even need a new power supply. If you have an 850 watt, like I did, you can drop it right in. No need for goofy, melting power adapters either. Just the old fashioned pair of 8 pin pcie plugs. This will probably be the last video card I ever buy.
It's not sound advice. Purchase what's within your budget, considering new GPUs are released almost every year. Opt for something that meets your requirements.
This is just blasphemous because the xx60 cards of every generation outsell all the other cards combined. So even though the 4060 is being outsold by the 12GB 3060 temporarily, it won't be like that forever because the 3060 will run out soon. I'm not an NVidia fan but the xx60 cards are usually the best deal in every generation. Also, I happen to have an 8GB card and I hope people keep buying them so games will keep supporting them! :-)
I think it's depends on perspective. For example, if you want powerful 1080p graphics card. 4060 and 7600 are great option, plus they both have ray tracing. And if you want RTX 5000 series and RX 8000 series, the 4090 and 7900 maybe great option, maybe the specification is not very powerful like RTX 5000 series or RX 8000 series, but maube 4090 and 7900 in the future the price will drop i guess. This is just my opinion.
You cant say youre better off with a 4080S than an xtx nowadays, theyre back to the price gap again, the xtx is around 870-920 on average while the 4080S is 1050-1200 still
I got the 7900xt and I would agree I also got lucky with a micro center bundle that had the 7900xt a Ryzen 7 7800X3D B650 E and 32gb ddr5 6000mhz ram for only $1200-$1300 i forgot which one
I still have a Rx 550/550 series.... can you recomend something that's not too expensive but bettter so I can play war thunder at better settings... I rather use amd btw...
hm, if u using that gpu still im guessing you have a old cpu too and probably slow ram on ddr3. but if its just the gpu u want to upgrade for now, a gpu with 75 watt tdp is the 1650 which is a lower end card by todays standards but is miles better then the rx 550. theres also the rtx 3050 6gb model which seems to also have a 75tdp but could depend on model and pricing, you dont want to spend more then 130usd on it
The 7900XTX can be found for 750? The Hellhound model you showed can even be found for 700 on some sites. The 4090 is a bad investment overall. 2k new, 1.5k used, can catch fire, will be slugged once 5090 comes out as with all Nvidia next gens. (Not saying AMD isnt guilty of it either) The 7900XT is good but the true price to performance king right now is the 7900GRE. At 550 its the best GPU for the money. 16GB Vram, same 7900XT/X die, same 350W tdp and cooler spec. The 4060 and 7600 are completley valid though both cards suck at their price and tier.
Got my 7900 xt red devil 2 weeks ago and I’m soo fucking happy with it . Time spy gpu score of 30k and with fsr 4 coming soon this gpu is going to last me 6 years with no issues . Hell the 1080 ti is about to be 8 and still kicking bed of fsr .
So I would guess the Radeon RX 7600 XT would be a good choice because of the larger amount of VRAM? Trying to upgrade my pc and I've had this card in my sights for a few weeks now.
I’m new to building pc’s and I just bought my 1st rig. I went with the msi rtx 4070 regular no ti or super. In comparison to the same price range how good is the 4070?
Not really, the rx 6700 xt provides better performance just with less less vram at 12 gb, but if you wanna spend a little more the rx 6800 still has 16 gigs of vram but outperforms the 7600 xt by quite a lot
I run a bunch of mods in cyberpunk 2077 and I'm happy to say that the card can in fact make use of the whole 16GB without slowing to a crawl. There are better options, sure, but that means messing with the used market, which is a big pass for me, plus RX7000 series are pretty much guaranteed FSR 4 support unlike RX6000. I got mine for €250 because the store was closing down and they needed to clear inventory. If the card does what you need it to then it's a good card.
It's really strange that the RX 7600 only has 8GB of VRAM while the XT version has 16, double the non-XT version's. Surely it wouldn't have been increased the cost that much to add another 2 or 4 GB of VRAM.
Cost isn't the only problem, from what i understand the chip is designed with a certain number of RAM modules in mind. The thing you can change easily is the size of those, so going from 8 to 16 is easy, going from 8 to 10 or 12 is a little more complicated.
Controversial opinion: RTX 4060 is the best cheap 1080p card on the market! Yes, it only has 8gb of VRAM but that's not going to be a problem for 1080p gaming @60fps for quite some time and probably the biggest factor that pushes it in front of the 12gb 6750xt and the 12gb 3060 is DLSS 3.5 that shi is straight up sorcery.
So much is wrong here. The 7900xtx is not expensive in this market, you can find it way under MSRP. The 7900xt does not perform AT ALL similarly to the 7900xtx. The 4080 and 4080 Super are both more expensive yet UNDER PERFORM compared to the 7900xtx. Etc, etc, etc. Next time maybe think a little before uploading this pointless, misleading slop.
I dont get why people use the 'one size fits all' when it comes to vram. It vastly depends on what your use case is. Personally i have 6gb and have never ran into any issues. If i didn't know better i could have massively overspent just to get something with more
I say the only cards you should really avoid are any 30 series cards. They’re still quite expensive for what they are and they’re not that great. 10 and 20 series offers around the same performance for a cheap price, and the 40 series cards offer a great modern performance if you’re willing to spend the extra money. Although if you’re really looking for value, go with the AMD cards he specifically said not to buy in this video. Amazing performance and amazing price.

Actually, my RX7600 with 5700X3D can with every AAA game I tried at Ultra. Also I play at 1080p for the moment. I guess this works for even with 8 GB
nah. we had 12gb with rtx 2060 and 3060.
It increases little in the price. its all about programed obsolescence.
@@Hikari_to_Yuri I run almost every game at high settings just fine around 120fps, but I’m forced to upgrade because tarkov sucks and has 0 optimization so I get like 50-70 fps which is brutal in a game like that

7900 gre is best deal rn
It’s like 400 dollars for 16gb and like similar performance to a 4070 tf u talking about unless that’s a massive amount of money to u it’s a good buy

@@fuggnuggs1471The 4070 is way more expensive than the 7800XT and only outperforms it in ray-tracing. The RX 7800XT is better in raw performance and even has 4GB VRAM more! It’s a great card, even for game development. I can recommend it, as I have it in my own rig.
5090 are either going to be hard to get or prohibitively expensive. If you got a 4090 at or below MSRP a few weeks ago, it was a great purchase.
The 4060 is actually a great card for 1080p gaming and will be for a while. I know 4K is becoming more and more sought after, but for anyone who doesn't care about 4K, the 4060's 8GB of VRAM is going to go a long way especially pairing it with DLSS. Straight up saying it's a bad purchase is incredibly misleading without context.
Mfw my tv doesnt even have 4k 😭😭😭😭
Agreed, the 4060 will probably age surprisingly well with newer DLSS and firmware updates.
It's not that 4060 is a bad card, if you're buying all new 4060 for a good price is a very good choice. The trouble is if you're upgrading from 3060 or 2070 - the very small performance gain isn't worth it. Besides used 3070 exists.
And it’s great at 1440p for less demanding games such as FPS. I know you don’t need to visual upgrade for those games generally but mine runs great with games like CS or Overwatch at 1440p.
no its shit, most games i play require more than 8 gb vram
I think one of the biggest issues we’ve seen with GPU’s came out of the pandemic. We haven’t recovered from the scalping nonsense of 2020, and by extension, 2024. There is no reason to spend $1100 on a GPU alone. I’m concerned for the future, more so as an American PC gamer due to anticipated Tariffs in the next year, which may increase prices more. It feels as though PC companies, some not all, are making PC building into luxury brands: flashy and Uber-expensive.
“These have a problem: 8 gigs VRam” Me sitting here with 4 gigs 😶
If the game is playable, and you get anything above 60fps, it's still perfectly serviceable. These people who do the VRAM fearmongering think that everybody plays games competitively, the only time when high FPS matters.
Of course. I should get a RTX 4080 with 16GB VRAM instead of a 7900 XTX with 24GB VRAM. 16GB will DEFINITELY work with 4K. (sarcasm)
it does tho
@@guchierreznot in every title, Skyrim VR that's modded uses 18GB of vram and flight sim VR uses up to 21GB of vram.
First 2 I can’t afford so they’re out of the question. Second two, if I were to buy them, would have enough VRAM for anything I’ll be doing both now and in the future, so if I wanted to buy them I would.
Clickbait and useless.
The problem with this is that right now you shouldnt buy ANY nvidia card as the new range is just around the corner.
Of course the high end AMD cards are still good but even with them it is likely that once the 50-series from nvidia comes out the 4080 will likely drop to a similar/cheaper price compared to the 7900xtx making it an objectively better choice.

Stop giving the greedy bastards your hard earned money.
i am actually terrifyed how many people argue in benefits of the 4080 because of DLSS. Hands down, any form of framegen or upscaling is inferiour to native and should not even be considered a valid point for latest gen 1000$ msrp cards. If you make it a point for budget gpus i can see that.
I mean Framegen started out and is at least at quality setting an acceptable thing for 4k. At 4k quality in most games you can hardly even notice a loss in quality but can gain 30% more fps.
At 1440p if you need framegen you might as well go back to 1080p, at 1080p framegen you might as well get a console.
Sadly too many publishers have used the excuse of framegen to not even try to optimize their games anymore and now we have $1000 gpu unable to run 1440p native at 144 fps.
I’m very happy with my upgrade from 2060 to 4070 ti super. Gonna use it for many years to come. 😂

Wait wait the 7900xt and xtx don't trade blows and the rx7600 is a budget king excuse you? Like the 4060 and 4090 fine
Yeah, seems like his 'testing' was done at 1080p where your CPU is a bigger factor. At 1440P and up, the gap between XT and XTX is VERY noticeable. The 4080/4080super also only beats the XTX if you have RT on. ANY other situation, they trade blows, which makes the price difference between them the deciding factor for those who aren't Nvidia biased.
I've seen some used 4090s under 600, if you find one super cheap buy it.
Everyone knows that the Ryzen 4070 is the current beast in every gaming pc

Well I was able to snag the 4060 on Amazon for a good 180$. I'd say it is well worth it since I have a 1080p monitor. I'm saving up for the 5090 and a 4k monitor anyways. I can run starfield all on ultra with DLSS and FG and get above 100 fps most of the time. So I'd says the 4060 is worth it if u have a 1080 p monitor
comparing the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX at ultra high FPS is so idiotic because it becomes more CPU dependent.
The XT cannot touch the XTX on demanding titles
Cool, Now talk about the RTX 3050.
The 4090 is no longer in production, and the price premium means the cheapest model starts at $2,000. I think there is nothing wrong with the 7900xtx, and there are even good discounts on Black Friday. As for cards like the 4060, 6750xt, and 6750gre, they have always been good value for money choices. You can see that the sales of the 3060 are still very high, and you get what you pay for. Even if there are similar models in the future, there will not be a big improvement.
Built my first PC here a few weeks ago. Paired a Ryzen 7 7800X3D with a 7900XT. Absolute beast of a PC. 20GB VRAM is more than enough for a superpower 1440p machine.
On the 7900XTX. It's price has been going down and it outperforms a 4080 Super in some cases.
People just buy whatever budget is comfortable with you and a little research even my 4060 works great at 1440p and with dlss 3 and frame generation it provides more fps too
Bros just naming the best cards and hating for the most unjustified and meaningless reasons 💀💀
for avarage high to ultra gaming. for 1080p get an rx 6600 or 3060. for 1440p get an 7700xt or 4070 (if cheap get last gen cards (more power draw though) like rtx 3080 or rx 6800. for 4k get a 7900XT or XTX or a 4080 (super) depending on local pricing. if you're a content creator or like raytracing you might prefer nvidia but if you want cheap and good gaming for a fair price go with amd
Just bought a xtx for £800. I’ll run it into the ground, show me a next gen gpu in that price range and I’ll regret my decision.. absolute monster compared to what I previously owned.
The 4090 and the 7900XTX are geared towards professionals and ML/AI engineers with their 24GB of VRAM. Don't buy them until you're using them to gain money.
Or if your not poor and want to play everything max settings at 4k on everything you play.
the 4060 isn’t really that bad it’s the minimum gpu that supports dlss 3.1 and depending on what you’re upgrading from it could be a big difference you can still run all of the newest games out and for only 300 dollars it’s perfect for budget builds
yeah but a 4060ti (8gb) or if u wanna go down a generation a 3070 are better options i would say and if your going amd basically everything around that price range is better
You could of got RTX 4060 ti 16 GB, version it's not that much more, so it can last you. AMD is good for affordability, for quality and performance NVIDIA is the way.
Definitely didn't expect that 4060's problem would be vram
I got my 7900XTX for 600 right now. The XT goes for 500, and the price difference really justifies the XTX right now. The price may dip soon, but it might just as well skyrocket since the 8800 is supposed to be aimed at mid market, and the XTX is likely going out of production not to eat into the 8800 market. And the 5090 going for 2500 is going to replace the 4090 in production, so their price is gonna skyrocket as well. And those are the only alternatives for 4k gaming.
Where do you get these cheap prices?
Used market
UA-cam making me regret getting the 4060 even though it is the cheapest 40 series (amd not available here)
If u upgraded from something like a 1050/1060, the 4060 is a very good card
These youtubers calling it bad are disconected from reality, the majority of gamers are low spec and cant afford a 1k gpu

@@Rainbow-no1zs while i dog on the 4060 (it is a trash card if priced for more then 280usd) the jump from older cards to the 4060 is huge and worth it
I have the same problem of no AMD available. My choices now are the 4060 (like you) or a used 3070. If your country doesn't have a good used market (like me), or doesn't have one at all, you might've just picked the only option at that price point. Even if a used 3070 was available to you, the 4060 will get more support for longer, and don't forget the warranty and savings on power consumption.
You didn't make a bad choice. The people who say the 4060 is a bad card are also people who are in a position to have better cards.
What amazing advice ''Don't buy the most expensive cards, but also don't buy the cheapest cards either because they don't have enough VRAM'' - like....what? What if people can only afford a 4060?!?
8GB of VRAM is fine for most games, unless you wanna play AAA titles on ultra settings - and no one looking at that is buying a 4060!!
Seriously, the 4060 and 7600 are entry level cards and shouldn't be expected to have the vram of the mid level gpus
Still waiting 50s card, so rtx 3060 12 gigs can lower his price i want to upgrade it from rx 570
Depends on price. I got my 7900xtx for $800 used and absolutely love it. If the card suits your needs and are a good value go for it.
"wait for the 5090" did you forget who's the president and what happened to prices last time he was the president?
Avoid buying a GPU for the next 5 years. I’m building a brand new PC with a 4060 and it’s what I can afford. Not everyone can afford the most expensive GPU in on the market
If you think the 4090 is expensive, wait till you see what the 5090 is rumoured to sell for.
Dont buy the 5090 instead buy a 30 million dollar mansion
Don't buy the 5090, instead buy Nvidia stock and let the people buying the 5090 make you even more money.
@oxaile4021 even the worlds net worth wouldnt be enough
You're only right about the XTX. That cards is a 100$ away from the 4080 Super which has all Nvidia features + the option for CUDA + significantly better RT performance. It doesn't make sense to buy it
4060ti with 16gb is amazing as a budget local LLM and Stable diffusion card, plus its power usage is really good. 4090 is an amazing card for people who Game, VR, local AI, creative work if you have the money that 24gb Vram is amazing and sadly the 7900xtx doesn't come close (have owned both and currently waiting to buy a 4090 again)
4060 OC 8GB was a 135% upgrade above my GTX 1660 Super, for the price I paid 460$ CAD and when I bought my GTX 1660 Super in 2020 it was 390$ CAD. So I am glad I upgraded, I also had no choice since a power outage blew my card and all I had was a GTX 1650 to replace it.
7900 XTX is better than 4080 😂
I can already hear fanboys crying about RT. RT is one of the most exxagerated feature ever if not the most. DLSS on the other hand is a valid argument but for me, it doesn’t cut the price difference. For me, the only purchase that makes sense if you wanna buy Nvidia is a 4090 and thats if you really want a powerhouse.
got my 4060 last year for only $250 (and that's after tax and shipping). i have 0 regrets
You can't say don't buy it, like right now its better waiting for the prices to drop when the new gen comes. But if you need a gpu and don't mind a new better gpu releasing just after then just get one. 8gb of vram, is perfectly fine for some use cases. Especially since dlss and fsr frame gen are really good for budget systems.
People who advise against an XTX havent used one, plain and simple. Its an under rated GPU.
It makes sense if you look at the price of the 5090 - but if you are buying a 90 iteration you're clearly looking for a top-of-the-line piece of hardware, so are probably already prepared to pay out.
I have a 4090, and I was lucky enough to get it for just a bit above 1600. I freaking love it. Considering the 5090 is going to be an absurd price, I sincerely wish I could just fork over the money for one of those too, but I guess I got my 4090 not all that long after they were restocked for (probably) the first time at those vendors.
I'll have to see just how much better it is, before I decide to buy a 5090 - as much as I love my 4090, for those suggested prices, it had better damn well be a LOT better.
7900 XTX is a great buy if you have the money. VRAM for the future and you might not even need a new power supply. If you have an 850 watt, like I did, you can drop it right in. No need for goofy, melting power adapters either. Just the old fashioned pair of 8 pin pcie plugs. This will probably be the last video card I ever buy.
It's not sound advice. Purchase what's within your budget, considering new GPUs are released almost every year. Opt for something that meets your requirements.
Where is the RTX 3050, rx 6600 ?
This is just blasphemous because the xx60 cards of every generation outsell all the other cards combined. So even though the 4060 is being outsold by the 12GB 3060 temporarily, it won't be like that forever because the 3060 will run out soon. I'm not an NVidia fan but the xx60 cards are usually the best deal in every generation. Also, I happen to have an 8GB card and I hope people keep buying them so games will keep supporting them! :-)
me still using my 1050ti looking at 4060s: 😮 "i think i will buy the 5090"
I think it's depends on perspective. For example, if you want powerful 1080p graphics card. 4060 and 7600 are great option, plus they both have ray tracing. And if you want RTX 5000 series and RX 8000 series, the 4090 and 7900 maybe great option, maybe the specification is not very powerful like RTX 5000 series or RX 8000 series, but maube 4090 and 7900 in the future the price will drop i guess. This is just my opinion.
You cant say youre better off with a 4080S than an xtx nowadays, theyre back to the price gap again, the xtx is around 870-920 on average while the 4080S is 1050-1200 still
Bought the XFX Speedster Merc 310 Black, appreciate the advice 👍
Should i buy rx 7700xt now or i shall wait?
7900xt prices going crazy rn. honestly the best higher end card for the money if you get it on sale
I got the 7900xt and I would agree I also got lucky with a micro center bundle that had the 7900xt a Ryzen 7 7800X3D B650 E and 32gb ddr5 6000mhz ram for only $1200-$1300 i forgot which one
Before this build that I got quite literally a few days before those micro center bundles were over had two gtx 980’s 😅
the 5090 is way too much so you are wrong, I don't see that card selling much when a GPU cost as much as I can build a whole gaming PC for!
I don't want to hate, but I'm looking through the comments and they're giving me much better advice than this short.
I still have a Rx 550/550 series.... can you recomend something that's not too expensive but bettter so I can play war thunder at better settings... I rather use amd btw...
hm, if u using that gpu still im guessing you have a old cpu too and probably slow ram on ddr3. but if its just the gpu u want to upgrade for now, a gpu with 75 watt tdp is the 1650 which is a lower end card by todays standards but is miles better then the rx 550. theres also the rtx 3050 6gb model which seems to also have a 75tdp but could depend on model and pricing, you dont want to spend more then 130usd on it
4060 with 8gb is a real deal mate. If you want more VRAM, get a 4070. You ever heard about classes?
Upgraded from Ryzen 3 3100 to 7700 and now the 4060 8GB vram is a bottleneck.
The market will probably get flooded with used 4090s when the 5090 launches so it might be possible to find a good deal
Moral of the story: Buy Ryzen 4070 instead
The 7900XTX can be found for 750?
The Hellhound model you showed can even be found for 700 on some sites.
The 4090 is a bad investment overall. 2k new, 1.5k used, can catch fire, will be slugged once 5090 comes out as with all Nvidia next gens. (Not saying AMD isnt guilty of it either)
The 7900XT is good but the true price to performance king right now is the 7900GRE. At 550 its the best GPU for the money. 16GB Vram, same 7900XT/X die, same 350W tdp and cooler spec.
The 4060 and 7600 are completley valid though both cards suck at their price and tier.
Everything will came down to price I think. All of these can be enticing if priced properly
Got my 7900 xt red devil 2 weeks ago and I’m soo fucking happy with it . Time spy gpu score of 30k and with fsr 4 coming soon this gpu is going to last me 6 years with no issues . Hell the 1080 ti is about to be 8 and still kicking bed of fsr .
So I would guess the Radeon RX 7600 XT would be a good choice because of the larger amount of VRAM? Trying to upgrade my pc and I've had this card in my sights for a few weeks now.
I’m new to building pc’s and I just bought my 1st rig. I went with the msi rtx 4070 regular no ti or super. In comparison to the same price range how good is the 4070?
You can expand this list to include every GPU.
Sooo if you think rtx 4090 is expensive what makes you think the rtx 5090 is gonna be cheaper ??
7600 xt is perfect for mid or budget builds really. Good price to performance and current gen (until January)
So is the RX 7600 XT a good option then, I just recently purchased one for a brand new pc build, I sure hope that extra vram comes in handy
Not really, the rx 6700 xt provides better performance just with less less vram at 12 gb, but if you wanna spend a little more the rx 6800 still has 16 gigs of vram but outperforms the 7600 xt by quite a lot
I run a bunch of mods in cyberpunk 2077 and I'm happy to say that the card can in fact make use of the whole 16GB without slowing to a crawl.
There are better options, sure, but that means messing with the used market, which is a big pass for me, plus RX7000 series are pretty much guaranteed FSR 4 support unlike RX6000.
I got mine for €250 because the store was closing down and they needed to clear inventory.
If the card does what you need it to then it's a good card.
It's really strange that the RX 7600 only has 8GB of VRAM while the XT version has 16, double the non-XT version's. Surely it wouldn't have been increased the cost that much to add another 2 or 4 GB of VRAM.
Cost isn't the only problem, from what i understand the chip is designed with a certain number of RAM modules in mind. The thing you can change easily is the size of those, so going from 8 to 16 is easy, going from 8 to 10 or 12 is a little more complicated.
@@tortenschachtel9498 yep, cause chips are usually more common in the 8gb form rather then 2gb form these days due to the smaller capacity.
Controversial opinion: RTX 4060 is the best cheap 1080p card on the market! Yes, it only has 8gb of VRAM but that's not going to be a problem for 1080p gaming @60fps for quite some time and probably the biggest factor that pushes it in front of the 12gb 6750xt and the 12gb 3060 is DLSS 3.5 that shi is straight up sorcery.
dont buy a 4090 because its expensive, instead but a gt 710 because its cheap
don't buy 4090, wait for more expensive 5090 instead
So much is wrong here. The 7900xtx is not expensive in this market, you can find it way under MSRP. The 7900xt does not perform AT ALL similarly to the 7900xtx. The 4080 and 4080 Super are both more expensive yet UNDER PERFORM compared to the 7900xtx. Etc, etc, etc. Next time maybe think a little before uploading this pointless, misleading slop.
So far the RTX 4060 is working fine for my 1080p gaming needs. I'll upgrade it later on if I move to 1440p gaming.
I dont get why people use the 'one size fits all' when it comes to vram. It vastly depends on what your use case is.
Personally i have 6gb and have never ran into any issues. If i didn't know better i could have massively overspent just to get something with more
I say the only cards you should really avoid are any 30 series cards. They’re still quite expensive for what they are and they’re not that great. 10 and 20 series offers around the same performance for a cheap price, and the 40 series cards offer a great modern performance if you’re willing to spend the extra money. Although if you’re really looking for value, go with the AMD cards he specifically said not to buy in this video. Amazing performance and amazing price.
What do you expect price range for RTX 5090? I don’t think it will be lower than 4090 thou
