I don't really see how you can class a 4060 as midrange when it's the lowest performing card in the range. Even when they release the 4050 it's still only a single rung up with a 4060ti, 4070, 4070ti, 4080, 4090, all above it.

Will you be keeping the 4090 equally as long?I remember buying a GTX 690 which was an SLI card packed into one if I'm not mistaken and the price was either 699.99 or 799.99 at launch and I believe it was the best gpu you could get at the time whenever it launched.
And I thought it was pricey at the time, haven't bought a new gaming pc since then and upgraded to a 4090 suprim x costing me almost £1900. I could have got a 2nd hand model or a zotac etc for 400 less but that is an insane jump for the higher end however you spin it. Having said that I'm hitting 144hz without breaking a sweat in every game at max settings... and probably will be hitting 240hz so the expectations for a high end card have matched the price increases imo.
I got rid of the previous pc a year later as I wasn't really enjoying pc gaming the way I do now. It was more social gaming that kept me on console back then.Will you be keeping the 4090 equally as long?
I get that on a good Friday night and i don't need to spend £1.5k for it....and you get that wobbly glass effect which I think is the most important thing.
I think the 690 had good performance for a few years? I remembering playing games at 60hz 1440p back in 2012 on it... so it must have been amazing for its time.
Yeah I remember sli stutter, at the time I tried numerous games and didn't have an issue with any of them in that sense. I believe metro was the one game I couldn't run at a smooth 60fps at the time @1440p from my personal catalogue. Will be interesting to see how the 4080 and 4090 hold up once numerous truly next gen titles are available. Without any of the software aids.Performance of the 690 fell off a cliff eventually as it was just a 2GB card. That and really depended on how well SLI was supported in a game.
I'm not sure that I agree there. The"high end" has the same number of cards as entry+mid range. The 3060 is a whole tier to itself AND half another.But you can't class GPU's in tiers based off resolution, you need to take into account refresh rates and quality settings too.
I think Wikipedia does a good job of classifying cards - although I would be more inclined to move the 3080Ti into 'high-end'.
Entry-level
- GeForce RTX 3050
- GeForce RTX 3060 (8 GB)
Mid-range
- GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)
- GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
High-end
- GeForce RTX 3070
- GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
- GeForce RTX 3080
- GeForce RTX 3080 (12 GB)
Enthusiast
- GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
- GeForce RTX 3090
- GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

4060ti nvidia is calling 1080p card that isnt mid tier to me help us if anyone thinks that card is mid tier performance
Really we're quoting console gaming PR now? The Series X is no match to the 4060ti let alone the Series S.The £250 Xbox Series S targets 1080p gaming. The £389 RTX 4060ti target 1080p gaming. That ain't mid-range. It's overpriced.
In what games is it better at that justifies it's price over a series x?Really we're quoting console gaming PR now? The Series X is no match to the 4060ti let alone the Series S.
MS also announced Series X price increase yesterday![]()
The 4060ti is cheaper and faster than the Series x.In what games is it better at that justifies it's price over a series x?

Outside of game pass, you can get the same games cheaper on a series x as wellWithout the rest of the PC the 4060 ti has the performance of a literal potato. Plus even GPU to GPU the 4060 ti is only barely faster than the Series X's.
You're wasting your time. He's deluded. It's been covered loads of times that you can't really build a console destroying game for under £650What games is it better at?
But it's the Nvidia slides doing the performance targets not the end user, right? Like any good marketing, slides can be made to tell the story you want to tell.Exactly
Any card regardless of the name cannot call itself mid tier when its performance target is 1080p gaming in 2023. 1080p GPUs are entry level, mid tier is 1440p gaming and high end/enthusiast is 4k GPUs
Now let's look at Nvidia slides. They benchmark the 4060 series at 1080p, so these are entry level cards. They benchmark 4070 series at 1440p so these are mid range cards. And they benchmark both the 4080 series and 4090 series at 4k, so these are high end and enthusiast cards
