It's extremely rich from NVIDIA saying it's not their fault the 4060 Ti 16GB is so expensive because of the clampshell design. They were the ones who decided the 4060 Ti should have a 128 bit bus and this restricted them to this solution. Designing the 4060 Ti from the ground up with 6 2GB GDDR6 chips instead of 4 would've avoided this situation entirely and would've made the 4060 Ti a card you could actually recommend, but nope 8GB is enough (it's not).

[walkir]

It's a nice tool to see exactly how much the 8GB hurt.

[nikolafreak]

God I wish there were more reviewers calling Nvidia out on this bullshit. Hardware unboxed is a blessing, thank you guys for all the hard work!

[BlackLixt]

feels like a 50 class gpu sold under a 60 class name and has a price of a 70 class, nvidia, truly an art

[__-fixg]

The 16gig version is actually a close competitor to the 6700 xt now, if you ignore that its 200 dollar more expensive.

[atrws]

You really did it this time, I’ve seen your channel dissed by some smaller unsponsored YouTubers in the past but this proves your true, honest, and actually care about your subs and community. Great work. Tech tubers are very important to the community, thanks for keeping it real.

[lloydaran]

The real value of this GPU is that it gives us exact data to measure how worse the 8 GB will age, while having the exact same configuration otherwise. The real "what if the 3070 had 16 GBs", indeed HUB made a good investment for future content.

[retro_ross]

Amazing how Nvidia released the 4050 Ti with 16Gb VRAM for only $500!

[bandsalat]

I heard you guys "warning" the community from buying 8GB graphic cards, but I NEVER saw a video (anywhere) before, where you could see the stuttering so drastically. Thank you for that. I was thinking about the 4070 or the 4070 TI, but now that I have seen what you are talking about all the time, there is no way, I will buy less then a 16GB GPU.

[Crazyman]

Thanks for wasting your money so we don't have to. You guys are invaluable for us consumers.

[andyastrand]

I appreciate the deadpan delivery in this one guys "a huge boost in performance up to almost 6700xt levels"

[paul_wiggin]

Nvidia manages to release less affordable competitors for 2 year old Radeon competition.
Fantastic.

[drago]

I like how their justification for the price difference is literally them saying "we designed this card poorly".

[ElladanKenet]

Look, 16gb is nice. Really nice. Like, the kind of vram the 4070ti should have.

The problem is, this is a 4050ti card, with a strangulated memory bus, clocked too low to really make a difference.

And, somehow, they did this without cutting either version of the card. That is surprisingly impressive!

But at the end of the day, this card that is barely on par with the 3070. At 1080p, it won't make any difference whatsoever. At 1440p, theoretically, it would outperform, but the strangulated memory just can't do it, and having to rely on DLSS3 and frame generation means that this card will look worse in 2023 than the 3070 did in 2020.

[VULTUSPRIME]

The 4000 series from Nvidia is just a never ending horror story.

[aightm]

Nvidia: we believe 8GB is enough.
Nvidia: here's a 16GB version of our mid range SKU

[homercles]

I'm so glad Nvidia has gifted us the ability to spend $500 to match the performance of a $350 card.

[WalStar_]

Back in the 90's you had Diamond Stealth GPUs where you had empty memory chip slots on the cards and you could upgrade them as you like. It was only 2MB to 4MB then but the idea was great!

[wertywerrtyson]

This card is actually very good for testing how VRAM affects games with other variables controlled. It’s more apples to apples than comparing two completely different GPUs.

[SecondBrekfast]

I love the fact that Nvidia tried to stop supplying you guys with review samples and caught major backlash from the community. Now they can’t really do anything but supply you with these underwhelming products and accept your scathing, yet honest, reviews. Unless they want more community uproar that is. Power to the consumer, keep it up guys! Hopefully we can get some better value cards in the future.
