Damn a $399 8G 4060 Ti marketed for 1080p with reduced settings in the official benchmarks doesn't sound exciting at all.
There shouldn't be new 8GB cards anymore, especially not if you market their DLSS3 and RT capabilities which both consume more VRAM. 12GB for 1080p, 16GB for 1440p and 24GB for 4K imo.
At least the used market has somewhat recovered. Like 3060s 12GB dropping well below 250€ for example.
There may still be some issues with production costs because AMD doesn't counter nVidia's overpriced mid-range yet. Or everyone just got used to the margins that were possible when large-scale GPU mining was still a thing.
