OCUK RTX4060TI review thread

[StriderX]

Agree, insted of shilling for the manufacturer this time they shilling for the consumer. Either way their reviews and opinions are coerced by an outside source.

I'm not sure about that... but nonetheless going against the zeitgeist is almost always a bad idea when dealing with a frustrated audience who are literally the only reason Jay even makes money. Whilst this probably won't last too long it can easily turn into a regular occurrence (permeant negative brand association) which is pretty bad for a big channel going by the constant commentary by Linus regarding the algorithm/metrics.

Yeah it was telling what some nvidia rep said to GamersNexus, comparing DLSS 3 frame gen with traction control on a car, as if they both make the product faster in the same way, and as if DLSS 3 works 100% of the time the way it does in the most effective implementations. They want to sell the cards as if they're actually as fast as they appear with all the software tricks turned on in flight simulator or whatever is the best case scenario.

Its just that Nvidia want to make very cheap cards and sell them at a high cost, margins, what you're supposed to be paying for, in their mind, is their exclusive features with the hardware to enable those features.

And i don't blame them, we let that happen.

People need to realise if you want real, unbiased reviews you either pay for them or the manufacturers will pay for them and they won't be unbiased. No-one is going to review stuff for free. I'd happily pay a small fee to an independent review outlet. The issue is even if the consumer pays them the manufacturers can mess them around and not supply samples and make them wait to buy their own later. By that time they know the masses have got FOMO or have their attention elsewhere.

Looks like a £390 card to me

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.

being overly positive ? I just couldnt be bothered to list why its bad because the list is pretty long and I think most on here already know why its so bad

Oh you're just paying for the low TDP/efficiency and ease of installation... But if that's the case shouldn't the 4090 be cheaper?

 

[Murphy]

... I just couldnt be bothered ...

Pretty much sums up the 4060 Ti release.

This all puts me in mind of the 8600 GTS. Pretty expensive for what it was, disappointing compared to excellent 8800 series cards, ultimately replaced at the same price point by the (much much better!) 8800 GT just a few months later.

That cooler best be made out of unobtanium or something rare to justify that price lol.

The only reason to buy 4070 is for the D4 code then return it but this one doesn’t even get D4.

Hey now, maybe you also want to create a tower of misfits....

(Yes I am mocking myself)

I dread to think what the prices of the 5000/8000 series will be, some seem to think sanity will return, im not so sure. I see EOL/B grade/second hand in my future.

Brilliant.... keep this going i think we all need a good laugh.

At least the Intel Arc cards were vaguely interesting, and looks like performance is still improving with each driver update (I've just moved them up on my GPU Hierarchy table, as a result of some of the results I'd see while reading 4060Ti benchmarks )

Irrespective of model or brand - there's a pretty close performance/cost curve that all cards have been fitting on. Without another player in the market - I can't see anything disrupting this any time soon.

same thing happened with turing release , after crypto boom , cards poorly received . poor sales and they corrected it for the next gen hoping they somewhat correct it next gen

dont think they can keep pushing the price up doesnt seem sustainable imo

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

just read the eteknix review,
wow are they sure they reviewed the 4060ti. its a full on nvidia lovefest
editors choice

 

[ALXAndy]

wouldnt be shocked if its 4060ti 8gb perf for £100 less in the end but as usual got to wait for those reviews

Well as I say there needs to be a balance here. If they are all going to be 1080p GPUs, and they are because 8gb, then you need to balance that out well. Which Nvidia have not done. The 4060ti core is saying 1440p, yet the VRAM is saying otherwise.

What I will say is I am proud of us. The users, and the people who buy. We've shown the whole industry, even the shills and reviewers, the middle finger. Seeing Jay grovel for forgiveness really got me off I ain't gonna lie.

VIVA LA RESISTANCE !
