GPUs are at pretty reasonable prices if you buy used. The 3060 Ti is $237 and it beats the 4060.
Intel’s GPUs are an insane value now that they’ve got a lot of the driver kinks worked out. Some DX11 games still don’t run as well as they would on equivalent Nvidia or AMD hardware, but most newer games are using DX12 or Vulkan nowadays.
If/when I finally build a PC, Intel Arc is going to be a serious contender for me. They’re looking really good as they continue to support them.
And they outperform AMD on ray tracing workloads, so I think they will age better as more games start shipping with RT features over the next year.
And dropped their prices considerably
Depends on where. In my country there are assholes that still want the equivalent of 300USD for a 2080ti.
That’s assuming I have $237 laying around to play a game id also need to spend $70 on.
