OCUK RTX4060TI review thread

I bought a Powercolor 6700XT Fighter not long after release (March 2019). I did pay a bit over then MSRP on a Gibbo forum special but it was still a sweet deal (thanks Gibbo).

It was originally powering a 1080p screen but recently upgraded to 1440p HDR high refresh. I worried it would tank with a 1440p but it really didn’t.

I am genuinely impressed with what it has delivered for the price. The newer Nvidia and AMD range are just terrible bang for buck in comparison.

The fact you can get one for £340 is a great price.

Having those doesn't make a card garbage, it displays an image on your monitor and allows you to play 3D games, it doesn't constantly blue screen Windows, it doesn't catch fire or anything else like that. Having 8GB, being bandwidth limited, using 8 PCIe lanes doesn't make it garbage. It makes it a 'low end' card that should at least be $100-150 cheaper.

If all those things made a card garbage then you wouldn't have similar configuration cards and it wouldn't even be worth buying if it cost $50, that's obviously not the case.

We clearly have different opinions on what constitutes a garbage card. By your logic the GT 1030 DDR4 version is also not a garbage card.. yet I don't think you will find many who would agree with that notion. They could call the 4060ti the 4050 and lower the price by 200 dollars and I would still think its a horrible GPU but a lot more tolerable at that point. Any GPU that is designed in a way where the core is purposefully gimped out the door by multiple other things(memory bandwidth, PCIe connectivity, etc) is just poor design. Semantics at this point I guess. In the end I guess we would just have to agree to disagree. Pleasant day to ya :)

The 6700XT is actually a very solid GPU. I pushed 3440x1440 through it for a short while before upgrading to a 6950XT and the 6700XT still managed pretty darn well with a mix of high/ultra and a few medium settings in the games I played.

Clearly otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. :) The GT 1030 DDR4 version is not a garbage card, if you had no way of displaying an image on your monitor and someone gave you one for free would you say it's garbage and throw it in the bin? Because that's what we do with garbage, it's something that has no further use so we throw it in the bin.

As the saying goes there are no bad products, only bad prices. Are you really suggesting that if the 4060 Ti was priced at £200 and someone asked you to suggest what graphics card to buy in the £200 bracket that you'd advise again getting it?

If a better alternative with more VRAM and more bandwidth for even 25% more cost existed, then yes. Ironically most people in the market for a cheap GPU don’t have money to burn. So spending £200 on a bandwidth starved low VRAM GPU means they will likely have to replace far sooner than they would like.

Just for comparison, when I bought my 6700XT the 3060 was more expensive.

If is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and i feel it slightly misses the point, that just because it's a bandwidth starved low VRAM GPU it doesn't mean you should throw it in the bin. That the price is what's wrong not the product.

TBF,the RX6600/RX7600 series are also in a similar vein too. Below £250 the compromises might be OK,but the issue is these cards are not below £250.

Its £10 more than that. its not bad, the RX 6600 was £60 (23%) more and the 7600 is a better GPU, 27% better, unlike the 4060Ti vs 3060Ti.

The RX6700XT is getting quite close to the RX7600XT in price(recent deal was £285 after cashback) and there are RX6650XT deals getting close to £200 too.

Yes, and its the one you should buy, until stock runs out.

I'm not comfortable with comparing EOL pricing against new and making that the complaint, if we do that AMD will just learn from Nvidia and never discount last gen GPU's, because if they don't you can never use that argument, notice how people, even reviewers don't use that argument against Nvidia? It needs to stop.
The 6700XT is a better card and a better buy, but don't make the argument that AMD should follow their EOL discount pricing. Just appreciate the fact that unlike Nvidia they still do it.

I'm getting a lot more confident the RX 7700/XT is going to be a much better buy than the 4060Ti, at $500 for the only one worth buying, even then its 128Bit bus strangles it at 1440P, that's two reasons i wouldn't buy it. Its just crap, its a crap card.

The 3060Ti is better. Holly ####
