The rx 6600 is arguably the best budget GPU. You can consistently find it for $200 or less. The 6650xt is better, but price is volatile and inventory inconsistent. Plus it isn't power hungry and can safe ly run on a 500w PSU.

[@AG-PC336]

Rtx 4060 is really solid

[@livegamesii]

The RTX 4060 is a good card for 1080p. It was criticized too much because of the amount of memory and 128-bit bus. However, if you look at the actual performance, it is more often than not faster than 3060. Perhaps in the future, due to the amount of memory, you will have to reduce the quality of textures, but for another 1-2 years it will run all games at high settings.

Downvoted for the thumbnail. Anyone advocating for buying 8GB card today, taking into account that game devs optimise their games less and less, is delusional. You're setting yourself up for fail. Also, absolutely do not buy 8 GB card if you plan on using any graphics mods ever, because some will increase the VRAM usage, making the game basically unplayable if you hit the limit.

[@DanStarTheFirst]

That is also part of the reason why the 1080ti has stayed relevant for so long. 11gb of GDDR5X on a 352 bit bus making it faster memory than a 4070 basically removes any vram bottlenecks making the main limiting factor the gpu itself.

"Here are some budget GPUs" (The cheapest being 400€/~$450) Y'all either never knew or have forgot about what "budget option" actually is.

[@haiwin224]

Getting older sucks... Because I can remember actual budget performance bargains like the GTX260 Core 216 launching for like $250-300 and the 9600GT for like $175. You could actually play DirectX 10 games on them if you had a decent multi core CPU.

[@LoneWolf-je9vr]

@haiwin224 In the future you'll have to change gpu every few years anyway so why pay at least $500 every now and then when you can go half that for more than decent experience.

[@haiwin224]

@@LoneWolf-je9vr You don't understand. In 2008 a customer paid $250-300 for a full featured upper midrange card. The GTX 260 Core 216 was the equivalent of a RTX 4070 Ti Super in terms of performance and placement in Nvidia's product stack in that period. For new DX10 titles like Crysis, Far Cry 2, and Supreme Commander the GTX 260 Core 216 was a great card. There is zero reason the modern equivalent upper midrange card costs $800 when in 2008 it cost $300. $300 in 2008 adjusted for inflation is about $440. Nvidia is ripping everyone off not because their costs have gone up, but rather because they know that people will pay outrageous prices for that performance.

[@Crunchy-XG]

You can look from another perspective. Consider the transistor, density, process size, and die size. The process and die size is getting smaller while packing a whole lot transistor and density. This is just exactly like an itx thingy. You get an itx tax in gpu form . Another easier way to interpret : this is just abstract imagination. Imagine 1000 kg of steel = 1000 of 1 kg steel. The latter will be sold with higher price because you need to consider the energy and cost to cut those into tiny pieces of 1 kg into 1000 of them. And if those action need to add up the profit, it'll add up to the end user price. Probably that's the gist nvidia tax

[@haiwin224]

@@Crunchy-XG I doubt materials cost and lower nanometer processes have increased material and manufacturing costs 200%. Is it more expensive to make more efficient and powerful chips? Sure. I don't think it is 2x more expensive. Even if they are using 200% more materials per GPU PC gaming getting more mainstream would lead to lower cost of raw materials and finished products due to economies of scale. Back when I graduated High School and bought a GTX 260 Core 216 PC gaming was still relatively niche. I knew plenty of my classmates who gamed. Just 90% of them were on console. There was no Twitch. There was not really a lot of PC centered channels on KZbin. Now gaming on PC is mainstream. I don't buy that Nvidia is taking it in the shorts on the high cost of producing GPUs. I don't believe that they have to charge outrageous prices to their customers. I do believe they have jacked up prices to get max return on each unit sold to keep the shareholders happy.

[@0xEF666]

As a person who does benchmarks, I want to warn everyone who after this video wanted to buy an RTX 4060. First and most importantly, this card has already not enough video memory for ultra textures at 1080p in some modern games. For example, the game horizon forbidden west takes about an hour or two for the memory to fill up and start transferring it into RAM. The glorified frame generation, which only worsens the situation in case of memory shortage lack. Despite the fact that the 3060 is weaker than the 4060 (when 4060 has enough VRAM) I would still give it preference if you find it used, an ordinary user will have fewer problems with it. On it, you can play new AAA gaming in 2K without any problems, with ultra textures and DLSS. If the game allows you to enable frame generation from AMD along with DLSS it is even better, there the 4060 would have long ago choked. No matter what anyone says, a card with a 128 bus and 8 gigabytes of memory has no right to be called higher than 4050 in 2024.

[@livegamesii]

By the way, I didn't say in the video that you need to buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060. I said that the characteristics can be deceiving. Without a doubt, real 12 GB is better than 8 GB and 4 GB is not compensated by increased cache memory and new architecture. At certain settings, the 4060 can lose to the 3060, set it to 1440p and ultra textures and the 4060 will lose.

[@livegamesii]

And it seems strange to me to set unrealistic settings for these video cards. In fact, these are mid-entry-level video cards, why include ultra textures on them? To "enjoy" 30 FPS?

[@BogdanM116]

@@livegamesii Actual textures don't have a substantial hit on performance, just on VRAM. If you have a 16gb-20gb GPU, you will basically get the same performance with low textures and ultra textures, it's just that ultra textures use more VRAM. These mid-entry-level video cards can enjoy ultra textures at 60fps if their VRAM and bus width would allow them to. With a 12gb 3060 you can set other game settings (that affect actual GPU performance) to medium or high in order to achieve a solid 60fps and then crank textures to ultra which will help with image quality. The performance impact will be small or non-existant because textures only need VRAM and bandwidth.

[@mariotomazzoni6523]

If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard, power supply, CPU, Case, Cooling and RAM. You can compromise on the price of the GPU, because that's the component that is easy to replace and next gen will always offer a better performance. Replacing the GPU with a better one is much easier if the power supply and CPU haven been choosen with future upgrades in mind. It's not unusual to replace the GPU 2 - 3 times with a new gen card before having the need to replace the CPU and RAM (and the mainboard). A good high end power supply can even last 10 years or more. Also a good case with filters at the air intakes reduces the aging of components like PSUs and CPU coolers by reducing dust and dirt inside the case.

[@canmexdave]

Regards : If you build a NEW gaming PC priortize mainboard. Go AMD AM5 and you have years to get better CPU with same MB. Get a good PS and you can expand for 5 years both CPU and GPU. Picking a GPU is always a challange as there is so much hype and misinformation floating aroud. Some hate AMD for all the youtube scammers and AMD hype. Others hate NVIDA for insane pricing. Look at what NVIDA just brought to the makret.

Decent advices! I want to add a few things. Advertising can be crazy. Before you bying anything ask yourself : do I really need that? If you play games what kind of games you play and what do they require. Some people might need only a iGPU because they don't play tripple AAA titles, others need more than that. Look at tests for the games you are playing as some games favour more amd and others nvidia. No need to put everyhing on ultra. There are guides for every game how to optimise it and squeez more fps (almost) without loosing quality so even with some budget cards you can enjoy a comfortable experience. Look at your driver options as sometimes they can solve you problems. As some people said: higher fps is good but stable fps is a must.

a 4060 is not going to have good raytracing and especially not Pathtracing performance.

[@mariotomazzoni6523]

IMHO the example of an used 1080 / 1080 ti versus a brand new mid range card isn't a common case. That's an option for experienced PC builders that don't shy away from dismanteling graphic card coolers and replace thermal pads or even mount an after market air or water cooler. The more common choice is to buying a brand new mid range next gen card like a 4070 / 4070 ti or one of the last high end cards of the last gen like a 3080 or 3090. Usually the prices are mostly similiar and the high end cards offer more VRAM, while the new gen has better upscaling and raytracing.

[@LivelysReport]

I say, if you are going to go for an older card, I say go to the 2080ti, which is newer then the 1080ti and has the first generation of ray tracing.. and it out performs the 1080ti.. and it offers NV link so you can actually put two of them in your computer with the NV Link and it will scale pretty good, with the caveat that not all the newest games actually scale well in SLI.. but many do, so do your homework on that part!! Some of the games scale really really well, Close to double FPS.. NV link being a bit better then just SLI.. and the 2080ti has the older power connectors, is a 2 slot card and you can get the NV links for either 2,3, or 4 slots.. depending on your Motherboards.. but I would suggest going either 3 or 4 slots so as not to have your two graphics cards budded right up against each other, as its harder to cool the top card then..

Common traps for young players and those who have no feel for IT are choosing VRAM (or system RAM for that matter) based on the demands of today. Yet you never buy something only for it to be used for 1 year. At least 99% of the world doesn't. So you need to have a sense of rate of demand increase on system resources by the software/games and try to imagine that rate of demand carrying through into the future, in order to make sure you get enough VRAM (or system RAM) for the intended usage time for your new hardware. Normally, if reviewers say that 8GB of VRAM is the thing to have right now for gaming... doubling it is the way to go. The same goes for system RAM. This ensures that you can at least go on ~4 years with a system. I say that from experience as someone who has built computer systems since the 80s.

13:50 One of the best examples of CPUs in 4k resolution is the comparison of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. While the CPUs in Full HD are sometimes a good 30% apart, in 4k it is only 5-10%. Both CPUs have no problem to utilize a 4090 at 100% in 4k.

Currently building Ryzen 5600X + RX 6600 XT for 1440p, coz I'm not really into new AAA games and you can switch to 1080p settings anyway in heavy games while playing light & medium games in QHD, + all the uses of PC other than gaming.

[@livegamesii]

That's a decent build on a budget, but incase you might consider adding an extra 100$ into the build I would suggest getting a 5700X 3D for cheap which will give you more cores and a 6700xt or 6750XT which will both give you 12GB of Vram that will enable you to play on 1440p Without needing to lower the resolution, both those options will give you an extra 3 to 4 years worth of performance

[@Its.Kagura_BachinTime]

Depends on what games you want to play, if you want to play more taxing games get the 4060ti since it has a lot more VRAM and can run future games, if you want to play games that arent too taxing on performance i guess you can go with the 3070 since the people in the comments say they have no problem with 8VRAM, although im not sure how that translates to Nvidia... Honestly both the cards are pretty much the same, you're just paying. For more VRAM on the 4060ti, either card you choose wont change that much performance. Personally i recommend the 4060ti just because of the VRAM but it is entirely up to what you will be using the card on

Actually, if you are on GPUs for IA/Machine Learning/LLM, the 16GB is much better than 8GB! I have some rigs with a couple of old RTX 3070 8GB for LLM, but adding a RTX 4060 Ti 16Gb to one rig makes total difference! Now, with 32Gb of VRAM, I could run medium to large models, like Mistral 8x7b - a nearly GPT 3.5 class model - with decent 15-20 tokens per second.

I bought it for around $160 around June 2023, and it served me very well. I could play Star wars Jedi: Survivor at max settings at 4k on my smart TV, which was only up to 30hz sadly, but some how the card could enable raytracing. The raytracing mainly just added the reflections in some surfaces, and slightly improved the lighting in some scenes, but it was running. Pretty solid card if you get one for a good price, or if you are wanting to build a 2016-2018 era PC.
