The sad part is when you realize this uplift was one of the _better_ ones of the generation. Look at the 3060ti>4060ti or 6800xt>7800xt. Many cards gave pathetic uplift or got price hikes that made them an even _worse_ value. Even with price drops there's nothing that stands out and even the best case scenarios can't muster up better than "well I guess it's not _that_ bad." AMD and Nvidia were perfectly happy for decades making 25-30% margins. Neither them or their shareholders want to go back now after enjoying the 50-60% margins of the crypto boom.

[@Dionyzos]

Nvidia made the 4090 to keep the performance lead and mindshare but reduced the die size of all the other models to save up capacity for AI chips. 4080 is 40% smaller than 3080, 4070 is 25% smaller, 4060 is 40% smaller. The 4090 is just 3% smaller than the 3090.

It not shit really, i can confirm the power to performance is insane on the 40xx series cards, it all depends on what you upgrading from. In my case i had a rtx 2060 then upgraded to a rtx 4070 super. Basically was a 130% increase in performance but if you have a 30xx series card i would suggest wating for new cards to come rather. All i can say is the 4070 super is a beast and even though it was not meant for 4k gaming i can play 80% of the AAA titles on 4k med/high settings and still hit +-60fps. So for me was money well spent.

To be fair you need to keep in mind GPUs take years to design and Nvidia is surely deep into the designs on the generation _after_ 50 series. No one was crying about 8gb of vram back when these were designed because no games needed it without cranking it to 4k that none of these were ever designed for. But still they really _should_ have been planning ahead better.

[@Dazzxp]

@@zodwraith5745 It was clearly planned... the fact the 3060 had 12GB ram on a 192bit bus, what nVidia decided to do was using only GDDR6X memory so 8GB on a 128bit bus. If they used slower GDDR6 memory but 12GB on 192bit bus. It's planned obsolescence there is ZERO excuse for such practices!!! Nvidia knew this after all they work closely with a lot of the developers they KNEW THIS WAS COMING!
