@Gibbo any idea when that 6950XT MBA stock will arrive if pre ordering today?
You know what I'm the exact sort of person who is looking at RTX 4060ti. I was one of the lucky few to get an RTX 3060ti from the first batch that OCUK had in stock.
I actually game @ 1920 x 1080 on an Acer G Sync monitor and use DLSS to upscale in most games titles. Tbh I was seriously considering the 16gb variant of the RTX 4060ti as a couple of the latest games I've purchased seem to suffer from bad stutter. Pretty sure its due to a lack of VRAM as the rest of my PC is pretty up to date, core i5 12400F etc
Anyway not sure whats the best plan, the reviews I've read seem pretty daming for the 8gb variant. Therefore do I just skip this generation entirely and wait for the 5000 series?
From many of the reviews and benchmarks I've seen the 4060 Ti 8GB and 3060 Ti 8GB are neck and neck in most situations and the 3060 Ti even pulls ahead in games where memory bandwidth matters because of the 256-bit vs 128-bit downgrade for the 4060 Ti. Reviewers seems to agree that 16GB won't improve things much because of limitations of the memory bus. Certainly not improvement worth an extra £100. At 1080p the 3060 Ti should be more than good enough to allow you to skip a generation.
Some great options there if you're a 1440p gamer. My 6950XT feels a bit overkill for 1440p and at £579 that's good performance for the money. If you're old like me, power isn't an issue, you don't have time for 24/7 gaming. If you're not old don't worry your parents are paying for itIt has been my focus to hunt down for good deals on last gen stuff, so hence now we have:
6600 from £199
6650 XT from £239
6700 XT from £339
6750 XT from £389
6800 from £469
6800 XT from £549
6950 XT from £579
3070 from £419
3070Ti from £489
Am also trying to get some deals on 3060 12G and 3060Ti, no one wants to hit my target yet but am sure they will crumble with time.
On the above I believe OcUK is the cheapest and leading the way as always on bringing prices down in the channel.
From another thread posted by Gibbo:
AMD has shifted all price points on their 6000 series:
6600 - Now from £199
6650 XT - Now from £239
New SKU - from £259
6700 XT - from £339
6750 XT - from £389
Getting more interesting for the "budget" buyers.
New SKU - from £259
And the RX 7600 is not a competitor since its in a different price class
Due with us next week.
I am doing that price pre-order ONLY as well so I advice you do pre-order as I plan to increase the price once stock lands as the pre-order price is only around 5-6% margin, so barely covers overheads.
Same ballpark performance as the 4060 Ti, also with too little vram and only a 128-bit memory bus. Same analysis applies where 'upgrading' from the 3060 Ti is concerned, it's not an upgrade. Sure, if you're upgrading from a much older GPU the 7600 is worth looking at, perhaps. Personally I don't see the value in buying an 8GB card in 2023 unless the price is considerably lower than anything currently on offer.
Nice. I ordered one.
Seems like a pretty outstanding deal. I owned two of these now both from OCUK. Embarrassing haha.
Oooof that's a great price!!!Due with us next week.

I must say that is temptingJust get that £469 RX 6800 i linked
After this, will Nvidia stick with its $500 asking for the 16GB one? what do we think guys?
Thanks for the business but we are way cheaper than competitors as one is £650 and other £620.
I think we're seeing a whole host of price drops. Some of the NVME prices are dropping like a stone, even better deals on CPU's and motherboards. Looking better for anyone wanting to build. Seems I was a few weeks too early but you never quite know how these things will go. That said I think I got a few decent deals.After this, will Nvidia stick with its $500 asking for the 16GB one? what do we think guys?
