Jokes aside.. the 4060 Ti at 3070 performance wouldn't be too bad considering how much everything else has gone up the rest of the stack.

Also a bit questionable in pricing for the 16GB considering how close it is (pricing wise) to the 4070. A card which has deals like from $100 Steam credit from Microcenter and Diablo IV bundle. In the UK its likely to launch at £469-479 which is the exact MSRP of the 3070. And that's only like £70 more for a vastly better stronger and better specced GPU.

But yeah this gen's a dud in terms of value and performance uplift the lower you go down the stack.

I mean my man, this is why I went with 1080ti lol, I could have gone for a 1060 for sure, but at that time I was pulling a Yuri and just going for it (but looking back it's still cheaper than what Yuri paid for his 4090 lol, still the same idea though).

I just feel like the mid to lower tiers are going to heavily rely more and more on that there KFC DLSS they got cooking in the fryer. Like we've already seen what it does for a 4090, tons of frames, but like, let's think about what it's going to do, realistically for a 460 with 8gb VRAM... Probably over 100ish fps, with RT at medium? (no way that thing does what a 4090 can with DLSS 3 and Cyberpunks path tracing, it'll do much worse, let's be real).

I just feel like Nvidia has fucked this gen of theirs up, both pricing wise and hw worse, and their hyper, galaxy level focus on DLSSS being their main perf crux tells me that these cards are utter tripe without that mystic tech (which I feel I'm right to refer to as a mere band-aid, because we've all seen what perf metrics are like without it, it's garbage most of the time you use regular brute force metrics). 

I hope you're cool with your purchase, Hinch. I'm just salty and mad at nvidia's pricing and greed the past few gens, and I'm acting old man on the porch, because Nvidia is going soft in the head with their focus on tech rather than good old fashioned elbow grease (brute force). 

Also I can't with Nvidia releasing the 90 series. It was already abd enough when the Titans came around, that I started questioning the 80 series, but now it's made apparent that the 80 series is the 70 series and so on, so you get the idea on how they've been fucking around with the whole stack for nearly a decade now.
