Although the prices of 1080Ti, 5700XT are quite attractive, I would sell my soul to the greens again for a 4060.
It's not the fastest but having tried the DLSS/FG, I would take them over a slightly faster gpu.
With correct settings, you can easily achieve 60-70fps in any game, so adding DLSS/FG creates a decent experience.

Also, if I were buying a 4060, it would be for a project like the below.

I would say that, for me, it's a tie between the RX 6600 XT and GTX 1080 Ti. I say this because the GTX 1080 Ti would be cheaper, have the same performance plus it has 11GB instead of 8GB. On the other hand, the RX 6600 XT has a warranty (so presumably better reliability) and the GTX 1080 Ti's TDP is 250W vs. 160W for the RX 6600 XT. It would be a really tough choice for me.

I never said it was spectacular but with a Freesync monitor would you feel the difference between 50 FPS and 90?

No encoding, Vega level decoding so terrible VP9, no AV1 decoding.
Only 4GB of VRAM, only a 64 bit wide bus, almost no L3 cache to compensate.
Only 4x slot making it mandatory to use on a 4.0 board or else once you fill those 4GB performance tanks hard.

Yeah no, that thing's only purpose is to test AFMF with an NVIDIA GPU.
 
I have a 6700 XT already, but from those choices, a RX 7600 to my 2nd PC would be a nice upgrade.
 
I use 2 PC building a 3rd one.

Endor V1 has a Ryzen 2700 - RX 550 mounted
Naboo has a Ryzen 3800X - RX 5700XT built in
Endor V2 will have a Ryzen 7950X - RX 7800XT/7900XT depending which card is supported by a water cooling block.

With Endor V2 I will give Endor V1 away to someone who needs a PC.
 
If I had no other GPU, the 6600XT at those prices. But in addition to what I already have? I'd like to play around with the Arc card, tbh. Enthusiast's curiosity.
 
Easy: none of the above.
 
wouldn't get a 4060 if it's for $280. But; if the 4070 is going for less than $450 or under $500, I might consider it. Sadly none of them are gonna see inventory movement nor a change of perception when prices are still horrendous as 2023 comes to a close.
 
RTX4060 or RX7600.
There's no reason to buy older generation, when the price difference is not big.
Intel, I'm waiting for next generation.
 
Well those prices are kind of invalid where I live even on the second hand market but if I had to pick from this list then probably a 6600 XT.
But on our second hand market I would just pick up a 6700 XT or a 3060 Ti/3070 for about the same price. ~280+ $for the 6700 XT/3060 Ti atm and a bit higher for the 3070 on average. 'I've paid around 450 $+ for my 3060 Ti slightly over 1 year ago'

Brand new I don't even consider where I live, all of them are way too overpriced.
 
None of that. All of them are too overpriced here. People in US can buy High end card for the same money. However I prefer RX7800XT Nitro+ for $450 new and fully working. But we all know it's not possible.

Though I would like for RX 7600 to cost $260, at least. Because here it starts from $360-380 for the cheapest version. Some reach $450+. Same goes for every other GPU in the poll, with each costing at least $120 more.

The insane thing, is that RX6600XT staring here from $426 for Nitro+, that is shipped from Europe with zero warranty, and the XFX Speedster and Gigabyte GAMING OC striking blows at $641 and $624 respectively (some stores sell these at $420+, but it still bonkers) PowerColor RD and AsRock being about $420+ either.

RTX 4060, starts from $400 bucks, for like Gigabyte Eagle version. Other AIB costs about the same. The funny thing, that the 3060 cost same money, or even more.

The 1080 "TIE" and RX5700XT do not even being considered, since all their stock here was not available in retail, and been working since day one in the mining farms.
 
I wish I could find/buy a new RX6600 at $170 usd ($232 CAD)

Cheapest I can find is $280 CAD w/o 13% tax.

Man, the market is fucked, or this price segment is anyways.
 
They all don't even recognize Intel for their Value/Perfomance-Ratio. Thats astonishing. They would prefer a slower card for the same or more Money.

Why? The drivers who where real bad at the beginning or its that most people only buy always from the same Brand?

Most people only buy from the same brand, that being Nvidia. Why? No clue, most complaints about the other manufacturers are rooted in things that were true at one point but no longer hold any ground (well, at least AMD, I have no knowledge about intel GPUs), and because they've turned loyal to the brand (for whatever reason), they won't consider any alternative.
 
These are all bad deals, a 3070Ti at $399 would be excellent.
 
If you are limited to 8GB GPUs for some reason, then the 5700xt. Because it is cheapest. nobody should buy a 8GB card for over $199, frankly $150 but I'm trying to be realistic here. The 4060 is a total ripoff and the 6GB 3060 a laughing stock.

Now a 12GB 3060 at $200 or less would work.

The drivers STILL are not great, with fixes on a game by game basis not covering the VAST PC backlog. Anyone with games made before arcs release would be wary to trust them.

Intel doesnt have consumer trust for GPUs. That has to be built, over time.

It's not like things are much if any better in other price segments... After discounts and all I just paid ~$820 for a 7900 XTX and it feels like robbery even at that price compared with previous upgrades.

Thats not a bad price tho? $1000 for the top end has been a thing for a long time, the 8800 ultra was a $830 option in 2007. And $1000 goes a lot farther in 2014 then in 2023.

Hell the 7900 xtx is the only AMD GPU that has a substantial improvement over its RX 6000 predecessors.

Well its pretty simple. Up until about 5 years ago, AMD drivers were an absolute disaster. If AMD hadnt made a total has of drivers for a decade they may be trusted more.

Second, if you wanted a high end GPU, then you only had nvidia up until 3 years ago with the RX 6900. The vega was a total joke (and had a high failure rate), polaris was low end, and rDNA never bothered with anything over mid range. RX 290 was ancient history by then.

Third, once you are familiar with a brand, a consumer will typically stay with the brand, because we prefer what we are familiar with. this is basic human nature, we warned that AMD would suffer from this when they dropped out of the high end CPU and GPU scene, and it indeed took years for the CPU game to come back. GPUs have not had the "ryzen moment" to propel them past nvidia yet. And since most computer gamers are not hardware geeks like us, they will need that ryzen moment for AMD GPUs to be put on the map.

It's really not, because it's not the top end. If Nvidia and AMD weren't squeezing us all for record profits we'd have 4090 performance at around $1000. That's the only real high end card this generation, they're just selling us the mid range at top end prices.

Can I assume the 3060 in this list is the 12gb variant? as 8GB cards are doa imho. I already have a 1080 ti I got s/h for £110 a few months ago, so if we are talking new then 3060-12gb -

Used w/2yr warranty £220 - https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail...D=d78e82060ab0bf71f5cb00a39eb84506&position=2

New w/1-2yr? warranty £276 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B096658...ativeASIN=B096658ZWP&psc=1&tag=geizhals-am-21

Your expectations are ridiculous if you think a 7900xtx is "mid range". And you have to factor in inflation, it's over 30% since the launch of the $1000 titan, and the 4090 aint cheap to make. And people such as yourself buy anyway, so the price cant be that much of an issue.

I'd assume its the 8, since everything else on that list is 8GB.
