Will the 16GB 4060 Ti fare any better than the 8GB version in reviews and sales performance do you think? Will that extra vram help in gaming or is the 128-bit memory bus going to strangle aby real gains? Will it find a niche as a mid range high vram GPU for AI use (Stable Diffusion etc)?

no cause they are charging you 100 for 30 worth of chips to fix the gimped product they released already
Yeah I know, there should only have been the 16GB version. But even were that the case, will the 128-bit memory bus strangle that 16GB in normal use situations?
probably wont do it any favours but that depends on how much the cache helps once its a functioning card with enough vram to begin with but i wouldnt hold my breath for anyone being positive about it

Doubtful for gaming but for AI it will probably be attractive
******* ai what a load of **** to sell your over priced product to some chump

I wouldn't say it's a load of ****, it's a niche for a certain type of creative and unfortunately Nvidia wipes the floor with AMD & Intel for compatibility
7xxxx AMD series do better but still lag behind their green equivalent
Yeah this is my dilemma. I want something capable of 1440p gaming on High settings and with plenty of Vram for Stable Diffusion. The 4060 Ti 16GB can probably tick those two boxes, but the likely price of around £500 is an insult. Even at £400 it wouldn't be great value. Guess Nvidia know they got the market over a barrel at the moment, their share price is rocketing despite all the poor reviews.

Get a second hand 3090, they seem to be best value right now for stable diffusion uses
Or wait for price drops on 7900 XT

As they say ship in ship out misquoted as before the watershed So far I've seen mentioned training on Reddit and Twitter data, I'm sure we'll get all sorts of pearls of wisdom from that

In gaming I think it will perform identically to the 8gb version other than in games where the 8gb is vram limited. So its $100 extra to not be broken in a half dozen games. Shameful really
cause you just keep dropping the current buzzwords as a ceo, mainly ai and machine learning and people will line up to suck your dick like you are the second coming, what are you actually doing with these concepts to make money or is it just another flash in the pan bs for deepfake *******
People are using AI for all manner of creative purposes, it's just that the most visible aspect tends to be the deepfakes and endless anime toons and cyberpunk pets. Anyway, ultimately it's all about Vram, which is why it's a bit puzzling how Nvidia are trying to ride this particular AI wave by releasing mostly 8GB and 12GB GPUs.
Because despite all the deniers they get people to upgrade quicker. Here a bunch of RTX3060TI owners bought an RTX4070,which is £100s more expensive. Then when you need 16GB or more,make sure the cheapest card is expensive and people will be "forced" to upgrade for a higher price within a few years.
Plus those who want to use dGPUs for work,well they want you to get the Quadros which have the extra VRAM.

I do wonder if there's a bit of potential for AIBs to go slightly rogue on the pricing of the 16GB model. Like at the end of the day they're going to be the ones making the PCB and putting the VRAM on the board, and otherwise they can get all the parts that they need to make a 4060 ti at the 8GB price point.
So if you were Zotac or Palit you might be thinking "I could sell a lot more of these if I just stuck 16GB on them and flogged them with the VRAM difference only slightly above cost". Especially since it seems like the 4060 ti as is is flopping already.

i imagine thats how you get spanked out of being an nvidia partner if you did something like that

No because it's too expensive still, not enough performance increase over last gen, and the 16gb model makes the products above it (8gb 4070) out of whack.
Soldato
12Gb 4070 you mean?
I am asking as nVidia's logic has me questioning that that actually may be a thing.
Soldato
Sorry yes meant 12gb. Doesn't make sense to me to have a higher card with less vram than a lower card.
Soldato
Thanks for clearing that up I thought I was losing my mind or Nvidia were moreso.
E: I agree which is why I was surprised they knocked out a 12Gb 3060
