Why are the majority of peoppe so hostile to the 4060 Ti release? Is it only because of the price and people think it should only be $350?

I suspect the internet outrage is more about people either addicted to anger, or outrage for the sake of fitting in with other people’s outrage. Similar to everybody’s outrage of Ampere, 30 series unavailable, but now there’s graphics cards and nothing is selling.

I’m interested to buy the 4070, but at 50% more money than the 4060 Ti but only 25 to 30% more performance than the 4060 Ti, the 4070 is not worth the money. Now I’m thinking to buy a regular 4060 and upgrade to 6000 or 60 series.

I only single play campaigns exclusively, zero multiplayer, and I don’t buy games every year because not many games have a campaign I want to play over again. It’s been maybe 40 years since I bought new, the free Epic games help.

    Simply put, if the 2nd from the flag ship aren’t coming down back to pre-covid bitcoin level(aka 7~800 range), I might have to abandon PC gaming in the future.

    I currently have a AMD 6800XT bought directly from AMD, so slightly over 800 after tax. It should last another 3 years at least. But any new ones(I only look at 2nd in line in terms of performance for each series) are all 1200+ before tax. (7900XT and 4080). And from what I can see in games that I have it’s not graphically more impressive than those on PS5 even at max settings.(unless developer provides higher res texture etc compare to the console build) There really is no point chasing the upgrades.

    Name me one game that’s a must play on PC have significant better graphics wise compare to console one.( not frame rate, we all know properly bulit PC without shit ports usually have better frame rate than console.)
