Been browsing a lot more on my mobile these days and sigs don't show up unless I flip the phone horizontally which I never do for browsing. I mean I may have glanced it before but never paid attention until today
Good point haha, hadn't noticed you can't see sigs on the phone
. I rarely use forums on my phone cos its too janky.

I used to be the same. Then moved to mainly using my iPad. But got used to using it more and more on my phone since the last forum update

On the UK Nvidia store they show as in stock for me when on desktop.

Maybe, and i have no evidence of this, it's because Nvidia are and have been lying about stock levels to give a sense of scarcity so people put a higher value on them.

So embarrassing... I actually think 3060's have gone up slightly on the used market because of the poor performance to price ratio of the 4060.
User error.
I know you're always supposed to tweak settings to accommodate for your system specs but it is mental that the newer version of a GPU is being outperformed by a card in the 'same class' that is 2.5 years older - and that someone running a new 4060 would have to run lower settings than someone on a 3060 to get similar performance.

If they had any sense the 4060 would've been at least 12GB, cheaper, then 4060 Ti faster with 16GB. They made a pigs ear of the 4000 series.
an error in which im sure they will repeat, i just don't feel like Nvidia will get the message with 5000 series. I hope im wrong though.
I suspect you'll be right.

NVIDIA
Moore’s law is dead. Long live Jensen's law.
(Each new generation is half the power for twice the price.)
I'm not so sure - the 20-series was a bit of a reality-check for Nvidia and Ampere's pricing and performance were adjusted in response (then completely torpedoed by Covid/crypto-mining) - Nvidia's current situation with Ada may be OK for them (with the AI boom) but it can't be good for their AIB partners.
I doubt we'll ever get back to Ampere's price-to-performance vs. 20-series but I expect a more consumer-friendly line-up for the 50-series than we have right now (insert 'sweet summer child' memes below
).The problem is the name. Nv gave this card a 60 moniker when it does not have the bus width that previous 60 cards had and therefore it performs more like an update to the 3050.

Die size on the 4060 is tiny and the cost to produce the silicon will not be that much more than the 3060 on 8nm Samsung. The bottom line is that this is actually a 4050 card but Nv have called it 4060 because they can charge more money for a 60 named card, unfortunately for them not many people are buying it.

I am starting to think we won't. Inflation seems to be catching up with NVIDIA's prices.

I had no idea Asus got in on using last gen coolers, as well as MSI!
