Yep, or 6650XT for under £300, 6700 non-XT for £329, all of which are faster (per the above graph) than the 12GB model!For comparison you can buy a 6700XT for £399.95

They didn't want entry level gamers to feel left out so now they've covered all their bases.Get your popcorn and pitchforks out. Nvidia is making friends again by trying to shaft entry level gamers.

Oh FFS. I think if they're shamed enough they'd rename it. Maybe enough memes of the nvidia "midrange" losing to Intels Arc in HUBs average performance would be enough to worry them into changing the name.
They do if they think it'll affect their brand image and their profit because of it.They have no shame.

3050ti would be more appropriate.LE already has some recognition as a lesser edition, call it 3060 LE and I'd be fine with it. When RX 550 was re-released with a cut-down bus AMD put 64-bit on the box, still not great (not obvious what it meant and proper cards didn't have 128-bit on their box), but better than nothing.
It's the bus not the RAM amount that is killing performance. 192 bit to 128 bit bus dropping from 360 to 240GB/s.
Shameful to market this as the same model.
