There's nothing midrange about the 4060ti, except for its god awful price.

[frkm]

In my country, the 4060ti 16g is $25 more expensive than the 7800XT lol

[tiradegrandmarshal]

4060ti 16GB is worth no more than $350, and even that is pushing it.

[TheMrSatyricon]

Ngreedia fked me hard, it was hot summer 2022 when I decided to buy 3070ti for 2k resolution, payed 1k $ for that. By the winter same year i already was feeling a little 8gb peepee close to my mouth. By the summer 2023 i already felt miserable because in number of titles I was forced to use medium textures. So, january this year I sold 3070ti and got an 6900xt, cost of that trade was 150$. That is literally the best upgrade in my entire 36 years of life. AMD ❤

[nastyyoda]

4060 Ti 16GB can't even beat RX 6750 XT at times

[eptic-c]

Don't forget guys that 7900 GRE exists, in my country it is cheaper then 7800 XT and it is faster.

[chrisfanning]

"Nvidia has better raytracing" is only half of the accurate sentence. The whole sentence is "Nvidia has better raytracing ONLY when the framerates are so bad you wouldn't use it"

[tommyg]

Imagine spending $450 for a card with a piddling 128-bit memory bus 😂 oof that's gotta hurt

[tommyg]

Nvidia fanboys be like "I'm gonna buy an Nvidia card and upscale and fail to reach AMDs native performance"

Congratulations, you played yourself

[NGreedia]

weird thing is the 4060ti 8gb and 16gb models both perform closer to an aging 6750xt but nvidia charges almost as much aa the 7800xt. if the 16gb 4060ti wsa $350 and the 8gb $300, it would be appropriate

[Pawcio]

I bought the 4070 Super but I'd never buy the 4060 Ti. I'd prefer the 7800 XT instead.

[reviewforthetube]

480 for the 7800xt is insanely good. Hard to pass up for whoever is in mid range and I'm an nvidia guy saying this lol.

[Vonklieve]

Nvidia "4000" series is vastly overpriced. I said that from release. The 4060 Ti is a 50, or 60 class at best. And should be sold at a far lower price point. However, NGREEDIA had other ideas after the once in a lifetime pandemic and the vast profits it accrued. Just shows what an unscrupulous company it is.

[SolidGoldoni]

I've had a 7800xt since around the launch of the product, the GIGABYTE version. Upgraded from a GIGABYTE 3060ti. The 7800xt paired with a 5800x3D is an absolute 1440p monster.

[freedom_fighta]

RX 7800 XT destroys the RTX 4060 Ti.
Price to Performance AMD wins every time.
Other than wanting RT, there is absolutely no reason to pick Nvidia over AMD. (Unless you are a Brand Freak and must have the best Brand name)
Also RT is really only worth it from the 4070 Ti Super or better for RT in 1440p gaming.

[mttmayne]

Pretty well known at this point if your going high end NVIDIA makes more sense. Anything under that AMD is the clear choice.

[draxrdax]

The RX 6800 is 360$ on Amazon. Insane, since it's a card 20-50% faster than the 4060ti that is about the same price if not lower.

[traildusterbt]

A 4060ti 16gb is about on par with a 2080ti and costs $450. A used 2080ti is under $300 and even can use DLSS, not to mention it has like triple the memory bandwidth. Nvidia can’t even compete with its own cards.

[sensei_...]

Got a brand new 7900gre in switzerland for 475

[adi]

I think the DLSS " advantage " is kinda null now that FRS3.1 is out, games will get updated and its so close that it doesn't matter
