They used the Banana for scale meme :D
 
Why is the Pulse the only one with a non-placeholder price? Is this one going to go OOS instantly and come back at £359? :p

It’s the one we have most stock on at 1k units the price will hold unless we sell all 1k today which I doubt.
 
This is the worst place to use the "but you don't NEED the new shiny thing" as an argument against spending money :D
Again, I'll see what the benchmarks say but the 16GB is 40%+ faster than the 7600 and he doesn't really play SP games, certainly not the ones that seem to hit the VRAM limits in the reviews I've seen at least.

It's your money so do as you wish, but seems pointless to have wasted money on a 7600 at best 2 years ago, and then spend money on another 8Gb card.

I think the 8GB VRam thing has gone over the top, its not that 8GB is unusable, which is how a lot tech jurnoes present it, look at TPU charts, a lot of them just say "crashed" for the 8GB cards, some even for 1080P, what are you doing? Are you trying to tell me the card just doesn't work?
It was a problem when they were trying to sell 8GB cards for £600, they are not doing that anymore, take the win, stop being so sociopathic about it, nothing wrong with 8GB cards, that was never the complaint, at least not from a consumers perspective, it was just the price of them.

So it's Nvidia - 50 again. Was looking to upgrade my 3060Ti for around 300 but doesn't seem worth it.

The extra 50 is worth the Nvidia features IMO. AMD always coming up a little too short, the 16gb would have been lush at £299.

Usually they do yes but don't just buy the most expensive card on that basis, sorry i don't have a decisive answer for you, buying the right GPU for ones self is nuanced and you're not talking about buying a 5090 if you get my drift...... just buy what seems like a good cooler for a reasonable price. :)

Yeah man i was just curious. This purchase is for my son

I agree, I've got a dilema . 5060ti at 390 vs 9060xt at 320

The RX9060XT 16GB is available today for £315 and the cheapest RTX5060TI 16GB is £390 and the RTX5060TI is only faster in some cherry picked RT titles(the performance is still not great). So £75,or 24% more expensive.

So basically the AMD card is almost £300 and the Nvidia card almost £400 and you are basically saying you just want Nvidia.

Nah.

I couldn't grab one for a few days anyway so it's £329 for the cheapest 9060 16gb as per gibbo and I can grab a 5060 Ti 16gb for £380 right now with a quick search elsewhere.

So the difference is only 51 quid, to me that's worth a slightly faster card and better features. Got nothing to do with my preference for Nvidia or AMD, I don't have any brand loyalty I just think amd have been pretty crap this gen in terms of pricing.
 
EDIT: This isn't a review, just a showcase of the VRAM limit so take with a pinch of salt.


And the 8GB reviews begin.

Not a fan of the random comparisons rather than a 'normal' review here. They included many different cherry picked games vs the 16GB review, I'm assuming to show/exaggerate the issue but that's then not comparable to their other review!

It's £75 cheaper and Gibbo said they will have stock at that price for a bit and you can always put it on a CC and pay it back instantly within a few days anyway with no interest. Sounds like you have already sold yourself on an almost £400 RTX5060TI.

The fact you need to justify this by saying the AMD card had to be under £300 and that the RTX5060TI was fine at £380,implies despite "not liking prices" - you have no issue spending 27% more for the Nvidia card. So if the AMD card at £315 is overpriced,then I am not sure why you are trying to imply the RTX5060TI at almost is £400 is OK value.

If that is the case you wouldn't be buying both.

Plus the RTX5060TI is a PCI-E 8X card and Nvidia last generation had CPU overhead issues,so the reviews are a best case scenario for the Nvidia cards.

My RTX3060TI looked better than my mates RX6700XT in RT initially but has time progressed it's performance got to the point,RT wasn't a pleasant experience on both. With AMD rolling out FSR4,equivalents to ray reconstruction,etc I don't think I am missing out after I got an RX9070. When I got mine the RTX5070 cost £15 more.

Is it too soon to say Nvidia's drivers are known to be bad?
