The solution is simple, just get a 4090 and call it a day for the next 6 years

Oh and hope your 12VHPWR doesn't melt

4060 ti reviews at 2pm, anything but an absolute slaughtering, is shilling for Jensen.

I'm confused. Didn't you buy a 4070?

But,but my case might melt too!

Don't worry AMD will price the RX7600 $10 below the RTX4060,hence upselling the RTX4060 and RTX4060TI! :cry:

4070 is a great gpu, see hub review 90 score. Good upgrade from a 3060 ti, is the 4060.....

And a 4060 is a good upgrade over a 3050,a 2060,a 2070 etc.

RavenXXX2 · 23 May 2023 at 11:33

8gb though, doa.

But the 4070 is bad for all the same reasons that the 4060 Ti is.

It's 3080 performance, two and a half years later for $99 less MSRP
The 4060 ti is 3070 performance, two and a half years later or $99 less MSRP

It won’t but it shows Nvidia are not doing quite as well as they’re making out.

I guess we'll see when the latest financial results are released Wednesday after hours. The share price has had a remarkable recovery. Whether it's justified or by way of surfing the AI wave/probable bubble we'll see.

We already have people saying the RTX4060TI is a great buy:

4080 or 7900XTX

The 4090 is a good shout though, especially if you don't upgrade for years and years. It's expensive, but in today's world of mad prices, it's actually the card that makes the most sense. If I was spending over £1000 on a GPU, I would just go all out and buy the 4090. If you are set on choosing...

forums.overclockers.co.uk

Today it's not vs 3060Ti but 4060 Ti 16 GB so that's an easy choice for Nvidia again.

Apparently the RTX4060TI 16GB now is the obvious choice,from someone else.

Raven has been partially redeemed!

If this is accurate then review embargo for 4060Ti ends in about 90 minutes.

RTX 4060 Ti expected review embargo time details

Here's when we predict the RTX 4060 Ti review embargo to lift, which is expected to occur fairly shortly.

I seen people explaining the 4070Ti is great value too using the 3090. As above, its 2.5 years later for half the vram (4080 12GB unlaunched originally).

You should read the thread. Such confident statements without even looking at the full product stack.

The marketing and feature spin keep winning. Whilst its lapped up, the eyes are taken off the creeping upwards prices. Can't really excuse the attention to detail regarding spec slippage.

Agree i don't

Getting excited, in 5 minutes we're going to have usual drop of a dozen videos and it's going to be fascinating. What order do you guys go in? I usually do LLT to get the overview then Gamers Nexus for a more detailed and cynical view of life :cry:

The people who had melted connectors said they had random black screens too, have you checked your connector?

I have the cable mod custom cable and its fully clicked in.

I had the same thing on an LG C2 oled the first few days with my 4090, in my case it was the hdmi cable, bought a new one and all worked out well.

Yeah I may as well buy a new HDMI cable just to be safe.

I gave the cable a gentle wiggle and it black screened. I pulled the cable out and both the connector and the cable are fine. It does seem odd it would shut the card down with a very gentle wiggle.

2 mins!!!

odd only got pings from derbauer and oc3d tv for reviews but nothing from anyone else.

Edit: Okay they're sifting through now, GN says to avoid the 8gb like the plague :cry:

That is quite funky, I guess it highlights that no matter what adapter or cable you use, 12VHPWR connectors are essentially flaky and Jay from J2C is right in that these connectors by design should have clips on each end, not just on the sensing pins side which then allows the whole thing to be able to be wiggled.

With heat cycles the connector will naturally wiggle over time as the plastic contracts and expands, so it is reasonable to assume that over time, this could post an issue as this happens over repeated heat cycles if there is some bend in the cable allowing some slack in the tension as the connector heats up and cools down vs a rigid cable fix ed in one direction and not allowing any slack so if the connector does heat up and cool down, it remains in-place.

This is why I don't want to check mine, I know it's firmly locked in place, and I know from past posts that these connectors have a limited number of connect and disconnects before the socket wears (iirc). So unless I see a black screen in games or something, then I'm more inclined to leave it be!

Maybe someone can come up with a clamp that goes around the whole card like a ribbon that locks the connector physically in pace like a cable tie meaning there is 0% chance of heat-cycle wiggle.... Did I just think up a solid business opportunity?!
