What does that mean? So, it's a theoretical maximum that the platform could achieve? Seems like by using whatever it is, it's skewing all of the figures.

OCUK RTX4060TI review thread
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
Until you run out of vram.
doesnt discard my point though, its a decent upgrade for a 3060 sfx build
I would actually prefer a 3060 over this card, it’s a more balanced product.
@Joxeon is right, if anything its a downgrade from a 3060, IMO it will age better, games will become unplayable on the 4060Ti long before they do on the 3060.
The problem is highly recommended award at the end. People are mad and rightly so. How can you give that card a highly recommended award? Wtf
Unfortunately if they don't toe the line, then likely they won't be receiving a press pack next product launch
nvidia dont care as long as you throw the money their way
No it's not but just like IRL not all reviewers are 'good' at their job. To be fair i have some sympathy for them because understanding a complex product like a graphics card is hard, not everyone is going to have sufficient knowledge to know if the marketing spin is true or not, i certainly don't and i wouldn't say I'm totally ignorant when it comes to computer hardware.
On the subject of reviewers opinions i couldn't disagree more, IMO it's the reviewers job to make a recommendation and give their opinion. However i do think some reviewers have difficulty when it comes to forming independent opinions, that they (understandably) get swept along with the companies PR, spin, hype for a product and allow that to effect their opinion/recommendation more than it should. It's a fine line that reviewers have to tread and while they may not always get it right i don't envy their jobs.
I have not taken that site seriously for well over a decade. I used to love going there as a kid at school though
yeah its been around long enough to become the meme it is today and i see some of these reviewers going the same way and being about as credible as ign before too longI have not taken that site seriously for well over a decade. I used to love going there as a kid at school though
i still see the ign rubber stamp 9/10 on lots of products

Wasn't they overall positive about it just looked like it was being advertised for Nvidia when this was meant to be unbiased and honest review?
Imagine people who are less aware watching that, the only positive things I can think of the product the power it uses and being the cheapest 40 series so far but that's twisting it because rest of the series is over priced
But yet have massive list why it's bad
Unfortunately if they don't toe the line, then likely they won't be receiving a press pack next product launch
If they all collectivity refuse to toe that line then that ####'# Nvidia.
If they really want to fight this then the larger ones should help the smaller ones.

I wouldn't even bother with SFX form factor if that's the best option lmao
Waiting for gibbos post to get the hype train flowing
This is not theoretical anything, it's the actual numbers. Every generation is split up into multiple chips, f.ex. AD102, 103 etc. The biggest chip has a certain # of cores which is that generation's maximum (the perfect die is usually only used for the professional cards, but the x90/ti can come very close). The exact cut of a chip that goes into a particular model, i.e an x60 etc, changes every generation based on manufacturing defects, marketing strategy etc. What the chart shows is an increase in price with every new generation for a proportionally equivalent share of cores, f.ex the card that had near 25% of maximum cores in Turing gen was the 1650 Super (27.8%) and it cost $159. For Lovelace it's 4060 Ti (23.6%) and it costs $399. That's all.
For me it looks like they think no gamer should have a good card under £1200.
I still think the 4070 and 4070Ti are shocking for the price they are selling them at. We are used to getting x80 series level of performance between £600 and £800.
When you say they do you mean anyone specifically? Because IMO more than one reviewer seems to have leaned to heavily into Nvidia's positive PR spin and lost a certain degree of objectivity.
I think you're being overly positive myself, yes it has lower power usage and it's the cheapest so far but those aren't redeeming qualities IMO, it's a 4050 Ti in all but name for $400. You'd expect such a low end card to sip power and just because it's the cheapest SKU it doesn't change the fact that Nvidia are asking $400 for a card that at most should cost half that.
