When was the last time Nvidia sold the 104 die as a 60 non-Ti?
It’s reasonable to say the 4070 should’ve been called a 4060 Ti, but saying it should’ve been a $380 4060 is overstating things a bit.
Hard disk drives are many orders of magnitude slower than solid state drives.
Back in the day, before we had SSDs, this is how a lot of things worked. We would wait a long time for programs to open, and the operating system would sometimes hang (long enough that it appeared to be crashing) when switching between workloads. It was a slow and painful experience.
If you’re doing the majority if you work off the HDD, it’s going to be very, very slow. You can use the HDD for data storage, like backing up pictures, movies, music, etc. and you can even use it for some older games, but you should absolutely be running any modern version of Windows off an SSD at this point.
There could be something else wrong, but I feel pretty confident that you’re simply underestimating how slow HDDs are.
