    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.

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

        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.

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

                  I’m hopeful that the NVidia “Super” refresh will move things at least a little bit in the right direction… which it might. I guess we’ll see in a month and a half.

                    I just hope they drope prices on the none super cards? Chances are though they will jsut increaseprices of the super cards and keep the existing cards the same price.
