Nvidia with the 5000 series I bet:
"So you're saying 8GB is enough. 8GB again it is!"
Nah 5060 will have 7.5 GB of vram just to piss people of while the last 0.5 GB will be slower like it was on the GTX 970 :)
Fuck Nvidia.
"No, memory bus doesn't affect performance"
Nvidia: Alright then, we give 96-bit this time around. 🤣
@@Jakiyyyyy 64 is enough, my 6500XT can show you that, AMD know even better
@@Jakiyyyyy when 3 and 4GB GDDR7 chips release, you can be sure AMD will release a 32-bit memory bus GPU 🤣
It is the 4050 actually they're just ripping you off for 300 bucks
This gen has bad naming. The 60 series cards from both compaines should be 50 cards. Radeon has 70 class cards with 80 and 90 class naming.
funny enough the 4050 exists on laptops but if you cant go for 299 of the 4060, your only option is the 3050 6gb at 190. Greedvidia.
You can apply this too with the Rx 7800xt and 6800xt. Both have very small difference in performance. Techpowerup even has the rx 6800xt leading over the 7800xt in horizon forbidden west.
What?
@@adlibconstitution1609 Not really. The 7800XT came at a much lower price point.
The 4060 came at almost the price but even with less memory.
The 3060 was a 1440p card, but with the 4060 you only get a 1080p card and still have to lower textures.
You’d expect a 4060 to be better in every way than a 3060 rather than a little better with occasions where it’s a lot worse.
Hey 3% is 3%
@@bumperxx1Like Jensen Huang says ‘The more you buy, the more you save.’ By which he means ‘just buy a 4090 you f*cking peasants!’ 😂
Not everyone is playing this much graphic intensive AAA TITLES
@its_not_the_Ishu it was a joke 😃 anyone with a 3060 should wait for a 5060 or something else. But if they are still running 1080p 60hertz then ride it till it dies
The sad part is when you realize this uplift was one of the _better_ ones of the generation. Look at the 3060ti>4060ti or 6800xt>7800xt. Many cards gave pathetic uplift or got price hikes that made them an even _worse_ value. Even with price drops there's nothing that stands out and even the best case scenarios can't muster up better than "well I guess it's not _that_ bad."
AMD and Nvidia were perfectly happy for decades making 25-30% margins. Neither them or their shareholders want to go back now after enjoying the 50-60% margins of the crypto boom.
Fact that we are still comparing 3060 vs 4060(50) in 2024 is another proof how shyte is 40 series and particulary it's pricing.
Compare the 2060 to the 3060.
It not shit really, i can confirm the power to performance is insane on the 40xx series cards, it all depends on what you upgrading from. In my case i had a rtx 2060 then upgraded to a rtx 4070 super. Basically was a 130% increase in performance but if you have a 30xx series card i would suggest wating for new cards to come rather. All i can say is the 4070 super is a beast and even though it was not meant for 4k gaming i can play 80% of the AAA titles on 4k med/high settings and still hit +-60fps. So for me was money well spent.
@@eltonwaynewilliams4152 Exactly, none of these trolls compare the 2060 to the 3060🤣🤣
Gee, that 150 FPS at 1440p in Callisto Protocol on a 4070 Super sure is terrible isn't it?
Mid range cards and people are surprised they always give mid range performance. What a shock.
It’s sad that 4060 ti is kind of the default 4060.
Nvidia made the 4090 to keep the performance lead and mindshare but reduced the die size of all the other models to save up capacity for AI chips. 4080 is 40% smaller than 3080, 4070 is 25% smaller, 4060 is 40% smaller. The 4090 is just 3% smaller than the 3090.
that's an information that i didn't know about
And yet the 4080 and 4070 still blow their predecessors away, whereas the 4060 doesn't.
Bruh, they're using a different process entirely. 4000 series doesn't use the Samsung 8nm series they had in the 3000 series, this time they're using TSMC's 4nm process nodes. There's a lot wrong with the lower end rtx 4000 series but that's just not a way to compare this.
The 3060 getting 90 FPS at Very high settings while the 4060 is getting 30 FPS with frame generation is hilarious. Now I see why Nvidia blocked frame gen on 3000 series gpu's... Thank you AMD!
It's a famous phrase, the more you buy, the more you save.
the naming of nvidia gpus is a scam, its actually a 4050 vs 3060, and if you keep that in mind, the performance that we see, makes way more sense unlike nvidas pricing
@@__-fi6xg Radeons naming this gen is also a scam. They have 70 and 80 class competitors with 90 class naming.
@@Sp3cialk304 Amd flopping all over. Rx 7600 shouldn't even exist but they wanted you to waste money, They could have offered from the rx 7700/rx 7700xt 16gb at 300$ the rx 7800xt at 399$ the rx 7900gre at 450$ the rx 7900xt at 599$ the rx 7900xtx at 699$, And amd would have won this generation easily and made tons of money but decided to prioritize money.
@@jasonvors1922 I like AMD but I think they spend to much time listening to the vocal minority. Rdna2 was good, but refusing to modernize rdna3 was a bad idea. The vast majority of gamers care more about modern features and how they actually play the game than raster only native benchmarks
Both AMD & Nvidia did sandbag & downgrade this current gen! maybe things will be better on next gen will see!
you have it the other way around. The vast majority have no clue what all those "features" (gimmicks) are @@Sp3cialk304
It is clear that even for an entry level GPU at 1080p, only 8 Go VRAM is not acceptable anymore to the play the latest games if we want a true 60 fps with decent 1% low.
To be fair you need to keep in mind GPUs take years to design and Nvidia is surely deep into the designs on the generation _after_ 50 series. No one was crying about 8gb of vram back when these were designed because no games needed it without cranking it to 4k that none of these were ever designed for. But still they really _should_ have been planning ahead better.
@@zodwraith5745 It was clearly planned... the fact the 3060 had 12GB ram on a 192bit bus, what nVidia decided to do was using only GDDR6X memory so 8GB on a 128bit bus. If they used slower GDDR6 memory but 12GB on 192bit bus. It's planned obsolescence there is ZERO excuse for such practices!!! Nvidia knew this after all they work closely with a lot of the developers they KNEW THIS WAS COMING!
So glad I picked the rx6750xt last second over the rtx4060. Would have been looking like a clown in 2 years.😂
100%. A couple years ago my buddy was up for a GPU purchase and he was SURE he wanted a 3070 but I convinced him to get the 6700xt. In 2024.. he doesn't realize just how useful that add vram is with the latest games he plays on 1440p display. I hear no complaints like we hear with 8gb GPUs now. All hail the vram value king AMD! Shall they continue to thrive by providing what Nvidia fails to.
@@christophermullins7163hopefully nvidia release 50 series with bigger vram for xx70 lineup if not im switching side. (3070ti user here)
@@christophermullins7163 i would get amd but i dislike FSR shimmering and fsr3 is only in some games
Well again all these buying decisions I'm going to have to be made with regards to what monitor you're running and the technical specs of that monitor not to mention a CPU that won't bottleneck it. I hear people still have 7700 K Skylake chips that's not going to cut it with a modern GPU. Old but bumper 6 corse four threads is still cool 😢. I would love to see these graphics cards he's testing with 1080p 360 hertz you're not going to get it. I'm glad you convinced your friend to buy an AMD graphics card I just hope he didn't have like a g-sync monitor 175hertz of so you got something that wont get you high frams and hertz with that monotors spec. You're still not giving the details of his system what do you guys not understand about specific components to work with specific components
@@jayking33497 ok but for the same price you can get an amd gpu that doesnt require upscaling.. except RT.
4070 should've been the entry level. I went from 3060 to a 4070 super. Very happy with that upgrade.
yes me to asus 3060 phoenix to a asus 4070 super oc evo
Yeah if I had to pick one I would buy the 3060/12 over the 4060/8
So, you would take lower FPS, just to have more vRAM that you'll only use in one or two games, or when trying to play 1440p on a 1080p card? 🤔
@@EveryGameGuru considering the price and how close these cards are in performance, I'd rather have the one with a more stable frame rate and frame time. Fps is only as good as it's stability.
4060 was never meant for 1440p gaming. Just saying. 🤷🏻♀️
@@richied5294 You would rather have slightly higher frames every 1/60th of a second, in two games, with VERY niche settings, than to have a higher overall average FPS, with all the features of 4000 series? Buy AMD 😆

3060 (2020) vs 4060 (2023)
Same performance. Lower Vram.
You overclock the 3060 and you get maybe another 10% over the 4060.
No intergenerational jump in performance. Rather the opposite.
That's why the 4060 is one of the worst cards.
The 4060 was supposed to be a 10GB RTX 3070.
I told people if you want want almost max settings 1080p in modern games you need more than 8gb for most modern games. We are finally in the gaming era of pushing games to need more than 8gb while barely noticing the beefed up graphics 😅
and guess what, most likely the 5060 will feature 8gb of vram as well
I remember gtx 1060 6gb having troubles with witcher 3 max settings. Honestly shilling nvidia is dumb, but idk what people expect from a XX60 gpu. "It should've been 200$" yeah no shit, I'd prefer it to be 100$, but that's just not how it is or ever was.
4060 is capable of running 1440p high with DLSS (which in this resolution has no more visual artifacts than just TAA, if not less), is it really considered bad?
Ya I can't even run cyberpunk maxed out with a 6600xt since 2.0.....uses more than 8gb of vram. And that's with no rt.
About time!
The thing is the most graphically advanced game up to date - Hellblade 2 - does not need more than 8GB of VRAM. While much older games, like Horizon FW (2022) or Ghost of Tsushima (2020) somehow need more than 8GB of VRAM.
Why do these older games are using VRAM less effectively?
Ohh great point at the start with those bad 1% lows linked to the vram limit, I hadn't seen it that clearly
4060scam
After wathcing the video i came to the cconclusion that greedvidia sucks. Save us intel, because amd never will.
The 4050 and it is a 4050 should be 200 and the 3060 12 gb should be 180 and the 3050 should be retired.
or call it the "3030"
Sooner or later, Intel is gonna catch up. 🤷🏻♀️
yeah well, this video is about the 4060 not the laptop 4050
If your budget is £300 then these are the two options you have from Nvidia, 4060 or 3060. 4060 looks okay but then you realise it has on 8GB VRAM and then you look over to the 12GB 3060 but you have to sacrifice DLSS/FG and power if you want to go with that one, for me what saved the day - the best option imo - £300 for a brand new RX 6750 XT and you get the 12GB VRAM and faster performance than both the 3060 and 4060.
@ $300, Arc 770 is also in your price range and has 16GB of RAM. Just need to make sure the games you want to play work on it.
@@glenndoiron9317if you buy a graphics card you should expect all games to play on it otherwise why are you buying a graphics card
Okay that's great I'm glad you chose a 6750 XT but what monitor and CPU do you have again everyone is saying buy this for this price buy that for that price what is your system Jesus freaking Christ it's like I heard the other day a 7700k Skylake chip is still good no it's not but it works for my 1080p okay yeah great 60 FPS so again what did you pair with that graphics card CPU RAM and monitor
And also you lose DLSS. 🤣
@@Jakiyyyyy yeah dlss 3.0
6700XT vs 3060/4060 i bet AMD card will beat the crap out of them.
I just bought a 4060 Dual OC to fit into a Mini Itx build for my son and it runs really well @ 1080p. He only plays Fortnite, Destiny 2 etc and gets consistently 144 + frames with high settings. The games look good and are smooth on his 144hz monitor. And, the card runs very cool, is whisper quiet, and draws little power. Yeah, it isn't what it should be but it works well.
It is funny how people complain about nvidia and still buy their products
lmao they don't have any choice !! 😂🤣
indeed. my last two gpus were amd . if you want change, you have to vote with your wallet.
Bingo
nobody complain about nvidia except amd shills
It's funny how people complain about Nvidia but magically ignore the 7600 is also only 8gb. Then when AMD makes the 7600xt and Nvidia the 4060ti 16gb people bitch cause they wanted special edition redesigns for free.
Can you test the 6600 at 1440p with FSR/XeSS vs 1080 native?
ha ha ha I love using the cam object as a mouse pointer
It’d be nice if people started showing some 4k in low or medium settings as the 6750xt does 4k good in some games and considering it’s the 4060 competition it would be nice to see (we know the 6750xt is better than the 4060) not everyone wants a 4k @ 120fps set ups, some people are fine at 30-60 fps especially if they come from consoles at a budget
Nobody with 4k is buy low end GPU my friend. I had a cool 😎 1070 with 8gb got a new LG oled 48inc Cx gsyinc tried Games like control and cyberpunk and call duty and the card tanked. 23fps 30fps low settings it's just not going to work.
And another thing if you're fine with 30 fps to 60 FPS that's garbage I don't see past 60 FPS well you know what buddy get a real 120 and I guarantee you see your mouse move better in fact I would argue 165 should be the goal because you're not going to notice much difference between 120 and 165 but for the price you can get into a nice monitor at 165
@@bumperxx1 I have a graphics card that can do 4k perfectly fine I’m talking about those who want an entry 4k experience. My 2nd pc does it just fine on my LG oled. I’m busy enjoying the gameplay than focusing on fps like everyone else.
@stevegonzales527 yeah but eye candy 🍬 cost you frams and hertz so in 4k you don't want 30fps or some crap 60 fps should be standard.
I have no VRAM and I must frame gen
last september of 2023 the rtx3060 12GB price was $6480 pesos or $360 in Mexico just for having 12GB vram so I bought the 4060 for $5400 or $300(zotac twin edge OC), but I can see other markets have different prices and supply.
I kinda feel scammed that reviewers said 3 years ago 8 gb vram would be enough for non-4k gaming.
It doesn't need more approval. Just Last of Us alone already proved it more games will be VRAM demanding like that in the future but people are still ignorant. 🤷🏻♀️
Hardware unboxed said it will be an issue in a couple years when talking about 3070 vs 6800
what if i dont have one, first time buying which should i choose? i can only fit dual fan in my pc case. I want to use it for rendering in sketchup and gaming for valorant only, also i want to pair it with ryzen 5 7600x.
BRO ARE YOU SERIOUS I AM LITERALLY RESEARCHING THESE 2 AGAIN OMG THE TIMING, THIS IS PERFECT. (i swear if you are about to make a video about 3060 ti vs 4060...)
3060ti destroys the 4060. If you can access a 3060ti or 3070 both completely invalidate the 4060 and cost less used.
I do think the 4060 Ti 16gb is the true successor to the 3060 12gb. If that launched near the $330 msrp of the 3060 then it would have been a great product 😅
its a very good card and will be the bang for buck after priced like regular 60 series, maybe when 5000 series came out
i mean around 280-300$
@@iikatinggangsengii2471 typically nvidia hasn’t really kept previous gen cards around at a discount. On the used market, sure. Hopefully we just get a proper 5060. 4070 performance at $300ish.

You must be having fun editing yourself moving around to point out things lol
Nice video tho
is it good to go for 6750 xt in 2024 because it is in end of life and drivers will be not coming in future. or i should go for 4060 ti . pls help me
Aren't there more games that support Nvidia frame gen? It's the major selling point for the 4060 so we should test it and/or whether the VRAM is enough to do frame gen.
Daniel, please test the Arc A770 against the 4060 Ti again.
i am exactly looking at these 2 cards to buy
Just curious but why isn't background play available for members only videos. That's kinda strange imo
No idea! Seems like a big oversight if YT doesn't enable that. Not sure if that is something I have any control over on my end. I didn't change any settings other than publish this for Channel Members only.
@danielowentech all good just thought it was strange that it doesn't allow background watching or listening on member on videos. Everything else is fine. But none the less u keep doing u I love the way ur free in ur videos and don't care to do a video with ur kids running about. I'm a father myself so believe me I get it.
Can you test the rx6750xt
Probably best test it on vram heavy scenario, for Forbidden west, run it on Burning shores area.
Absolutely. I noticed fps going down drastically in the dlc.

The 4060 is not loading ultra textures. Its hard to notice graphically on youtube but its evident in the vram usage discrepancy, thats more than 3GB difference.
@@lanelesic That's how Avatar handle vram. It doesn't remove anything from the allocated vram pool until it has to. So it reports high allocation but isn't actually using all of it. RDR2 will do the same thing, you can get it to show over 16gb of vram allocation at 1440p, but it's not using close to that.

@@lanelesic read the conclusion of Techpowerups Avatar performance review. The way they word it may be easier to grasp. It's similar to mip mapping. It won't hurt performance and the difference in detail would be on super far away assets, where you don't have enough pixels display the difference anyway. Basically how nanite works for poly count, but with textures. If you had a huge screen and higher resolution than current cards could run you may be able to see a difference, but currently you can't because 2 pixels can't occupy the same spot anyway.

@@rob4222 well the 4060ti 16gb doesnt make any sense as the pricing nor the perfomance makes any sense to have 16gb
@@rob4222 The 4060 ti 16gb is faster when 8 gb isn't enough but it's still too expensive so basically worthless unless you can find one used. The 4060 ti 16gb is horrible value.
I have a 16 GB 4060ti and it's been great. I was very reluctant to buy it because of bad reviews and didn't want AMD. Coming from a GTX 1070 since 2016 it's been a huge upgrade. Horizon Forbidden West gets 120-150 fps with DLSS and Frame Gen @1080p. I tried using the new GPU with my old i7 6700k and it was a shit show. Went with a 12600k and DDR5 ram and I'm very happy.
Will 4060 will perform same with r5 5600
so basically
3060 for higher graphic +DLSS
4060 for higher fps+frame generation, set lower graphic under 8gb vram
I own both a n RTX 3060 12GB and an RTX 4060 8gb in my htpc gaming setups. I don’t use frame generation at 1080p/1440p (with RTX 4060) so I’m fine with using FSR frame generation ‘IF’ needed…… especially with FSR 3.1 coming out now in games and modders, I’m sure, adding tweaks for a drag n drop into older titles etc🤤🤯👍🥳.
Saying that it appears that newer game engines like UE5 uses vram more efficiently than older engines so maybe, just maybe, Nvidias ram skimping (8gb gpus) was known by them from initial engine testing for gpus 🧐😳?
Imo if you’re a gamer who uses a lot of texture mods etc on older games …. I’d go with the RTX 3060 12GB …..otherwise get the RTX 4060 for the added performance….. but that’s me 😁👍
you are objectively wrong. My gpu is using 10gb in most modern games, sometimes even over 12 like in RE 4 with raytracing and dlss in 2k. 8gb is definitely not enough for 1440p gaming, especially not with rt or any other nvidia feature that needs vram to run.
Cope harder. No one should buy the 4060 lol.
Ive noticed this too. The console port games seem to be the VRAM hogs. The UE5 games typically have very reasonable VRAM usage.
@@__-fi6xg I don’t use RT or FG on my lower end gpus which l assume your GPU Is notably stronger than these and can actually use these features (RT & FG). Anything requiring power I run on my RTX 4090 or RTX 3080 or RTX 4070.
@@ltg8382 yep I try when ever I can🥳😉. I’ll just game on either my RTX 3080, RTX 4070 or RTX 4090 when I actually want to use Ray tracing or Frame Generation.
Sir 2nd hand GPU 3080 IS FOR THE PRICE OF 4060 so what will you recommend considering how much will the Idle be when I am using a browser with 20 tabs on 2-4 monitors at the same time for 6hrs and after that 2-4 hrs gaming... What according to you will be the consumption as I can multiply my Electricity unit price...
3080 10GB is also at borderline. Look for 3080 12GB instead.
@@makkienleong6865 If VRAM is powerful then 10GB at this price will work. This Horsepower destroys 6700xt 12GB. i am only considering Electricity bill I got an answer to undervolt the GPU.
Overall, I'd still rather have the 4060, but I would recommend waiting for an upgrade for those with a 3060. The upgradability is just too weak at that level.
I have no gpu but seems like a bad time to buy anything...
@@Zombie1012080ti. A beast that can even be modded until 20gb~ it's 200-300$ used for me. Basically 3070 but has more vram
@@swilleh_2080ti is underrated in my opinion, with or without being modded it’s a really good gpu for its price.
@@exocleats6937except you should avoid Turing because of dying VRAM chips (unless you can find one cheap enough where you can pay for new chips)
why would you buy a 4060, you get all the nvidia advantages with the 3060. Its the best nvidia card for the last 2 generations.
🙂 sounds about right, moving forward we want to prefer 12GB video cards
On amazon it seems more people are buying the rtx 3060 over the 4060.
The amount of editing in each video is outstanding
yes i like the c2 and grid but the colors and models are abit too outdated, to be paired w raytracing lul
I don't want to upgrade from my 2060 super to the 4060 either, since practically the 2060 super is a 12GB 3060 but with 8GB of vram, if in the 50 series the 5070 has 16 GB of vram or the 5060 12GB, possibly update
Why do people expect a 100% in performance each gen? Do they think Moores Law is still going or something?
complaining about complainers
This is HILARIOUS, especially the comments 😆
"The 4060 has lower 1% lows in two games, or when trying to play 1440p on a 1080p card"
"The 3060 is better" 😆🤡
In call of duty, selecting the basic setting , turns down render resolution as well. So, the actual competitive settings is basic + render resolution set to 100%.
I am still mad that my 3080 had 10gb and 3060 had 12gb :(
Which one is better for 4k video Editing - rtx 3060 or rtx 4060 ????
I will use premier pro , after effects
should be a 4050
Y'all don't be sleeping on LSFG. I have AMD and have been using it. Any single player game being played with controller(Alan Wake 2 right now for me) it works well to smooth out the experience quite a lot.
i don't know why but every time i watch one of your videos, i think someone is on my roof.
I can understand the frustrations. I have a Rtx 4070 Super and even though i don't have issues with vram limitations it would've been better to make it a 16GB card instead of 12GB. The 40xx is cleary better in performance then the 30xx series but it does not make sense to upgrade if you have a 30xx series card. Nvidia made a mess of the 4060, should've been 12GB.
Nvidia is the type of company that makes their new product perform 2x times worse than its predecessor.😂😂😂 This is what lack of competition does.
why did you exclude cyberpunk from the benchmarks :(
Rtx 4060 vs 6650xt ultimate benchmark plz
Thx for making this free - not only for members.
115 watt on 4060 vs 180 watt on 3060
Do your math.
Playing games at Max is only for high End GPU not a entry level GPU.
Am glad i bought the 3060 12gb, got for £280 .
You should have added the 4060 16gb too.
6750XT is
just use lower textures settings and all is solved. 1080p can use medium quality texture nowadays.
I already bought the 4060 2 days ago. Whatever at least it draws less power and runs cs2 thats all i need anyways
Yeah it is up to your gaming needs. If you only play esports then it's enough
how about comparing top-tier cards from 20** series to like 4060(70)?
also i wonder why you never talk about energy consumption.
Made me curious about the 3060 ti vs 4060 ti that has same vram.
ITT people make dumb comments about GPU naming when the problem is bad price/perf and poor product placement with inadequate VRAM for the core's strength, regardless of naming.
quibbling about the naming is a dumb waste of time and completely misses what the actual problems with this gen have been.
3060 vs 3060 ti 2024 revisit plzzz, lot of Stem player using 3060 ti
Sad thing is both of cards are the same price range as Intel Arc A770 16Gb which keeps gaining some speed and likes 1440p better.
As crap as the 4060 is, the single slot 4060ti 16gb that's rumoured to come out could be a spicey boy for very tight cases.
I wish if you can place every rtx from 20rtx and 30 rtx to 40 rtx 8gb version high gpu and mid gpu and low one... Pls
tldr: get a RX 6600, 6650XT or 6750XT and avoid Nvidia at all costs.
But then you have to deal with terrible drivers
@@chase7974 Yes, another reason to avoid Nvidia.
This is going to be interesting as the RTX 5060 is rumoured to only have 8GB of GDDR7.
GDR6 actually. What a waste!
What is good about GDDR7? Unless it has texture compression stuff then maybe 8GB would make sense. 🤷🏻♀️

Its a great video but with one sticking point when he says 40fps feels good on a VRR display but 95% of VRR panels have a VRR range of 48Hz and Up, so 40Hz isnt in the VRR range, causing the Vsync judder effect. Many youtubers seem to forget this and give bad advice on 40Hz caps.
Other than that bit, its a great video.
No, most vrr displays will go into low framerate compensation mode below 48hz so if it hits 40, the monitor will run at 80 and display each frame twice, staying in sync.
@@danielowentech But most dont thats the thing, as I said, lots of panels sold out of the hundreds available still shudder under 48Hz, so many panels exist that do not have LFC, some do but its not the majority of models. LFC is a godsend feature, but the monitors people (normies) buy, most dont have it as a feature. You can literally check most models sold at any time, its pretty clear.
People should always check when purcasing a monitor of course, as with anything, but LFC isnt as common as people would hope, and 40Hz looks bad in those circumstances. Daniel could have mentioned his 40Hz statement is because LFC and I wouldn't have even commented.
what about performance per watt?
😂😂😂😂😂😂 why do you even care ??
@@bumperxx1 yes you should think of that

Your whole channel is an essay on how VRAM is important now, and I am a believer
I'd rather buy a secondhand 3070
I think value is a serious problem for both of these cards when we look at AMD and even Intel options in the $250 to $300 range.
Remember, the 3060 was released with 12GB of VRAM several months after the 3080 and 3070 were criticized for having too little VRAM. In previous generations, did a lower level Nvidia card ever have more VRAM than a higher level card in the same series? Has it ever happened since the 3060? Nvidia probably meant to release the 3060 as a 6GB card, like the 2060. If it had, this comparison would have a completely different outcome.
Wish I could add more VRAM to my 3060 ti -_-
The 5060 need to have at least 12GB VRAM and starting with 5070 16GB VRAM. If NVIDIA still sell 8GB they should be canceled
cancel yourself
128bit with 8GB ram was a 50 class card, I have 3060 and trying to upgrade makes no sense to 4060 nor 4060ti
People who bought the 4060 got scammed into really buying the 4050
I'm an architecture student and I'm also torn between the RTX 3060 12GB and the RTX 4060 8GB. I prefer the 3060 because of its VRAM, which makes it more future-proof. However, most benchmarks indicate that the 4060 is faster. I'm undecided whether to choose slightly slower rendering times but more future-proofing or faster rendering times with potential difficulties handling larger projects.
With laptops, the RTX 3060 offers only 6GBs of VRAM, while the RTX 4060 offers 8GBs of VRAM. I got the latter, coming from a GeForce 940MX HP Pavilion.
Bro, the arguement low actually looks really good isnt a arguement for that price XD, Framegen is also made unusable on the more budget GPU super Nvidia way of doing things.. First paygating DLSS3 on RTX40 cards and letting rtx30 cards out of the picture. Now the 4060 entry lvl GPU also cant even really use the tech. Whats next? only 70,80,90 cards can really use the next DLSS(4)? Wouldnt be suprised. Also all the leaks from reliable sources say the 50 series gets the same size framebuffers so super exciting! Jayyy
Still one of the dumbest generational replacement ever I am still holding my breath but I fear that the next gen will be another huge disappointment across the board.
nice ad107 on this 4050 ti
Why is VRAM on 4060 smaller than older RTX 3060

Can't imagine buying gpu with 8gb vram in 2024 unless ur still on 720p monitor 😮
