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’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.
I think they’ll drop prices some… they almost have to, otherwise why even bring out the “Super” lineup in the first place. 4080-tier cards sell badly bc they are way overpriced and this is way to fix that. Arguing against myself though is that NVidia have done boneheaded things before, and this might be one of them, so maybe you’re right and they’ll even raise prices.
I really hope that the rumors that are talking an aggressive price drop to stop AMD’s momentum in mid-tier GPUs are accurate.
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.
Would be nice if they where priced a little better. I know that’s unlikely these days though.
