I just figure the longer I can hold out the better card I can get. I can afford any GPU on the market even a silly 4090 but I’m not spending £2k on a GPU that’s just stupid. Really I just want to spend £350 or so on a really good card like the 1070 was back then.
There where a few 4060Ti’s this black friday in the UK with nearly good prices around £360 or so which isn’t far off what I would like to pay for a 70 series card. I remember picking up a 560Ti for £150 back when that released still though a 4060Ti for £360 isn’t that bad.
It’s better then a 1070. It’s at a price that is better then what a friend paid for his 3060Ti, I think he paid over £600 for it at thee time during covid. Those where dark times.
Nearly everything will be better than a 1070, these days :)
I agree, those were bad times. Still are in a certain sense, since it showed NVidia how much more people (in general) were willing to pay for GPUs… we’re all still paying the price for that.
I think buying any new GPU in 2023 that only has 8GB of VRAM is a mistake. This is an unwise purchase, unless you’re content with 1080p and middling graphics quality… and maybe not even then. Still, it’s your money. You held out for a “really good card” in the past, which was smart. So why change that now?
I’m probably going to stick with my 1070 for at least another year or two anyway so yea it probably won’t be a 4060Ti. Mostly just playing Fallout New Vegas TTW anyway I just wanted a GPu that can handle Reloaded and my modded Skyrim install a bit better because my 1070 struggles somewhat. Whenever I can get a good deal is when I will probably upgrade and yea I know the 4060Ti isn’t the best value card but I sort of want an Nvidia card because I have a G-Sync display taht cost me a shit load because it was one of the release models. I wanna get the most value out of it as I can before replacing it which I hope I don’t have to anytime soon.
I have a 1080 and I’m doing the same thing. I’m looking to get 2x the performance before I start looking at upgrading my computer and the top cards look like they’re hitting that point right now so I’ll wait for the mid-level ones to catch up ~next year.
I jumped from a 1070 to an ex-mining 3080, having a blast!

I don’t think that’s realistic. The industry has changed, and GPUs cost more, for a bunch of reasons. You might be waiting for a very long time.

But a 4060 Ti isn’t a “really good card”, I certainly wouldn’t dispute that, if you remove that requirement, there are options.

Fair enough! Next gen arrives in late 2024, so at that point we should all have much better choices.

I’m also looking for 2x the performance of what I have now if not a little more.
