Unless you have a very old motherboard or you are not smart/clever enough to enable it ;-). Never the less, the card is much overpriced and might only be worth it for people that use it for AI and make back their money quickly. Maybe that is the reason why NVIDIA has set this high price and does no promotion for it. AI need lots of memory, not that much compute power. This card will kill their sales of their higher priced cards that are sold because they don't offer anything else with enough memory at a decent price (and AMD or Intel cards are harder to use in AI at the moment).

What difference would bus width make? Bandwidth of 4060ti is 288GB/s (Not including the cache) which translates to roughly 36 Gigabytes per sec. That's a massive data transfer per sec. Even a 4k scene does not require that much data per second to render. Bus width is NOT A LIMITING FACTOR when it comes to games. It can cause bottleneck, but only if the game is heavily data streamed. Maybe a flight sim kinda game at 4k ultra everything on. There bus width maybe a limiting factor. Most games are rendered and processed on the go. Hence they rely heavily on GPU processing at higher resolutions. Bus width does not bottleneck the games. VRam can, because to render a scene, sometimes over 12 GB is required in memory on 4k, but bus width does not affect squat in 99.99% of the games. This bus width adage is from the stone ages that more bus width = more performance. Also, 4060ti is NOT A 4K CARD. 128 bit is way way more than enough for 1440p. Flight Sim also does not stream 36 GB data at that resolution. There is NO game on the mainstream market which will ever get bottlenecked by 128bit at 1440p or below resolution so bus width isn't a problem with 4060ti. MASSIVE reduction in processing units is the main problem with 4060ti. Games utilizing multiple GPU cores better will show negligible uplift over 3060ti or may even perform worse. Bus width has almost 0 affect at 1440p or lower resolution so stop whining about higher bus widths.

The difference in VRAM-limited situations between the 8GB and 16GB 4060ti is enormous (no stutters and up to 4x fps in for example Callisto Protocol with RT), so the extra $100 is well worth it. But at a $500 price point something like the 6800XT makes more sense if you dont care about power draw. There is approximately 13GB or RAM available to developers on the PS5 console, BUT they cant allocate all of that just to the GPU alone. Realistically, they allocate around 8-10GB of VRAM to the GPU on the PS5 (TLOU1 remake was using 10GB of VRAM for sure). In my opinion, GPUs with 12GB of memory will be sufficient for a long time if someone game at 1080p. The most VRAM demanding games however will require some tweaking at higher resolutions for sure. For example the R&C Rift Apart can easilly fill 12GB of VRAM at 4K. For example I saw 3080ti gameplay at 4K DLSSQ and fps went from 25fps to 100fps when game was no longer using over 12GB of VRAM.

Good point about wider buses scaling better to 1440p. I think's likely correct for a significant number of titles. Trouble is, this is not a GPU worth putting a 256-bit bus on, or even 192-bit. Adding a bus costs in many ways, space on the GPU, lines on the board, it all costs. Who knows what the BOM on this was, but the 4N node and space on the GPU massive cache was a big part. Cache genuinely does mitigate for slower memory, but because of that, faster memory then makes little difference to performance. You can look at this in the CPU space. Get an X3D CPU on your board and suddenly RAM speed adds much less to performance than it did before.

Another viewpoint. GPUs can take years to get from initial design to setting up a fab, ordering materials and starting full commercial production. Followed by global distribution etc. During the pandemic, production of raw materials and component parts dramatically reduced. The cost of everything went up quickly, and availability went down. Even big companies like NVIDIA rely on others. Contracts have to be fulfilled, yet lead times for parts and materials suddenly became several months rather than weeks. Businesses are trying to recoup the extra costs however they can, utilising what's available, whilst still playing catchup. Adding extra RAM to an existing board is a "quick fix"... and some people will buy it.

[@stevenwest1494]

I think the move to lower VRAM is due to NGreedier wanting to kill the amateur AI creators out there, and move them to more expensive professional options.

I guess Nvidia made it pretty clear, the 16GB 4050Ti is not for gaming (at least not its primary purpose), but for some AI calculations, a large proportion of the gaming community just could not accept the fact that they are no longer the VIPs to be served (or have their "feelings" considered), and obviously Nvidia is aware of the presence of the massive decommissioned mining cards in the used market, if they had to complete the price with those used mining cards, they don't see it profitable and decided to prioritize the AI demand that 40 series exclusive properties is a necessity, rational business decision IMHO (of course it is unpopular to the gaming community, but Nvidia knows the "reputation" of the company means nearly nothing to this market segment, people will still need to swallow the 50/60 series pill when the massive stockpile of the 30 series mining cards dry out eventually). At the end of the day, even those "picky" folks will buy the new cards when Nvidia release some decent products again, why should they care about your feelings? This was already proven in the mining era, we see no boycott when the 4090 was release even gamers were mistreated in the past years, gamers won't punish AMD/Nvidia for their past actions, if so, why should they care?

I think they both have their place. If all you are looking for is rasterization, go AMD as that's what their primary focus is. You don't have to pay for tensor cores, or RT cores, just basic rasterization. Personally I think consoles are great for that, and I have a PS5 myself. If you want more than rasterization, and are willing to pay for tensor cores for DLSS/DLAA + frame generation (which frame gen is spectacular), or need cuda cores for apps, go with Nvidia. Nvidia has the extras to artificially double your frame rate, and it's actually quite good. I was playing a path traced Cyberpunk the other day and decided to shut it off and see what the game naturally looked like in a busy area with default lighting, and that's when I seen how big of a difference it actually was and one of the few games I keep DLSS + Frame gen on for rather than native 4k. Not even a top of the line AMD for $1000 will get you there though, and once UE5 gets more implementation with their feature set, we will find out how well AMD really does with just a heavy focus on rasterization without all the extras. Not everyone wants to pay extra for tensor/RT/Cuda cores and that's understandable, but know you are going to pay for them if you want them, and AMD not having them means you can pay only for rasterization only without the extras, and there's a market for basic playing of games. Nvidia with the extras is always going to cost more for those extras, and until they convince people (steam stats seem to show that they have) that their extras are worth it, you have the option to go with the minority leader instead. There's a GPU for everyone here, and luckily there's 2 companies to target different areas of the market. Maybe they should had eliminated tensor cores/RT cores all together on the 4060 and put it into rasterization instead, but they are heavily focused on RT/DLSS at this point and now it is a bundle package. If it isn't for you, it isn't for you.

What difference would bus width make? Bandwidth of 4060ti is 288GB/s (Not including the cache) which translates to roughly 36 Gigabytes per sec. That's a massive data transfer per sec. Even a 4k scene does not require that much data per second to render. Bus width is NOT A LIMITING FACTOR when it comes to games. It can cause bottleneck, but only if the game is heavily data streamed. Maybe a flight sim kinda game at 4k ultra everything on. There bus width maybe a limiting factor. Most games are rendered and processed on the go. Hence they rely heavily on GPU processing at higher resolutions. Bus width does not bottleneck the games. VRam can, because to render a scene, sometimes over 12 GB is required in memory on 4k, but bus width does not affect squat in 99.99% of the games. This bus width adage is from the stone ages that more bus width = more performance. Also, 4060ti is NOT A 4K CARD. 128 bit is way way more than enough for 1440p. Flight Sim also does not stream 36 GB data at that resolution. There is NO game on the mainstream market which will ever get bottlenecked by 128bit at 1440p or below resolution so bus width isn't a problem with 4060ti. MASSIVE reduction in processing units is the main problem with 4060ti. Games utilizing multiple GPU cores better will show negligible uplift over 3060ti or may even perform worse. Bus width has almost 0 affect at 1440p or lower resolution so stop whining about higher bus widths.

Nvidia could put 32 GB of VRAM on this silicon, and it would still suck due to that 128 bit wide memory bus.

The "Clampshell" way just means that you have 2 32Bit Chips on ONE 32Bit Bus - And that means they work like a 2 Drives RAID-0 SATA Connection with a bigger cache - Means for small texture files it is okay but for big texture files that even exceed the cache size you will lose a lot of transfer speed compared to a bus that allows all of the texture being transfered with 2x32bit. So that makes it clear that you will suffer as soon as you go hi res with high texture settings. Will it be better than 8GB on 128bit combined thoug - For sure, because the cache is faster than using the RAM to cache those files. For 32GB and 128bit you would have 4 people that need to use a single toilet at the same time...

If you want to buy a new card, the 4060 TI is an amazing choice, period.

[@aregulargenericname8794]

It is kinda bad though, with that 128 bit lane

[@timdriff8950]

@@aregulargenericname8794 yeah! i agree! should be at least 192 bit! but actually the best for it is 256 bit! but even the with 128 ti memory bus it's working not so bad! but i would never buy a 128 bit if i have a choice of course!

[@shadowminor]

4050 6gb says "hold my beer"

[@LarsaXL]

Why is the bus so limited? My old GTX 970 has a 256 bit bus, that's significantly faster than most modern cards in the same price bracket, despite them having both significantly more and faster memory.

[@andremalerba5281]

I hated the price but that's the GPU I wanted LOL A 3070 like with 16GB VRAM with a lower power consumption and small enough to fit nicely on an itx case. And no, AMD is not an option when you need the GPU for VR

[@Ju-Peter667]

Preach, sometimes there are situations where the card makes alot of sense, yes its pricey but thats how it is, Im still not paying insane amounts so im good

[@jad3415]

This is my exact situation and the reason I bought my 4060 ti.

[@everope]

Definitely not the worst GPU ever made, it's actually quite efficient and has all the features. But yeah just too expensive.

Got my 6800XT red dragon on eBay used for 400$. Works amazingly. Navidia doesn’t care cause of the AI news.

[@allenrhea]

It’s crazy how the top tier card from Nvidia, is the best value card as well 😂

[@mytestbrandkonto3040]

Some say it isn't. 😉

[@Shadowangel09]

​@@mytestbrandkonto3040price to performance it is the bet value card. It's like buying food from a bulk store. Technically it's a better deal but that doesn't mean you can afford the upfront cost

[@mytestbrandkonto3040]

@@Shadowangel09 Yeah, I see your point. Just looking at graphs from people testing those GPUs suggests a 4090 is worst in price/performance. Sometimes GPUs like these get a buying recommendation in 2023 such as a 4090 but sometimes they don't, for example a 3070 Ti. People can still buy it, though, whatever fit their budget and needs best.

[@FenrirAlter]

And it doesn't even matter if u buy it since Nvidia will just release another exclusive tech to the next Generation.

[@highlow8683]

got a 4060ti 16gb for $520.. 4070+ are going for 700+ and 30 series and AMD gpus are basically non existent here...

[@GewelReal]

IMO it's a great GPU that will last people YEARS It's simply 150-200$ too expensive. But if I were to get one rn I definitely wouldn't regret it

[@DanielCruz-qr6qu]

Lmao it can barely play 1080p games...today.

[@GewelReal]

@@DanielCruz-qr6qu The 8GB variant yeah. But the 16GB is fine

[@DarthWampa_]

Sad that I will have to wait until the 5000 series to upgrade from my GTX1060 6GB. One thing that I will give the 4060 and 4060 Ti is that it's power consumption is really low. Might be useful in some sort of low power ITX portable build or something.

[@WanderfalkeAT]

If power consumption is your target in Gaming you may try Card/Board Games or Mobile Games :) Or try a PS5? A laptop with a 30 or 40 series chip would also be a great alternative? Or try a Book - I heard the biggest adventures are created within your mind! And that costs you no energy at all. Just messing with you :)

[@jorgepascual169]

you're just cheap lol a 1060 in 2023 is just dumb a 6700xt goes for a bit over 300 bucks a 6650xt even less all faster and with more vram

[@arielsantangelo1658]
