They could have even taken it in the opposite direction and went with 22400MT/s VRAM on a 96-bit bus in a clamshell design.
Would have provided 270GB/s of bandwidth... That would have made a good 4050 Ti with 12GB of VRAM.

Then jump up to 192bit with the 4060 Ti for 537GB/s with 12GB.

nVidia is betting on DLSS and frame generation to set the 4060 series from the 3060 series, which is fair, people have shown they have a desire for nVidia's propriety technologies.

AMD Needed to do the same with the 7600 as well. It's not a viable upgrade for 6600XT or 6650XT users, in-fact many benchmarks it turns out to be notably slower.
The 8GB of Ram is bullshit on that chip too. - It should have been called the 7500XT.

The best GPU's to buy right now from a price/performance/vram perspective is the 12GB Radeon 6700XT/6750XT. - But stock of those are running out.

We need the market to start correcting itself... It's not the era of COVID or Crypto, so something has to give sooner rather than later.

That would be a good idea since you don't need that much memory bandwidth for a entry level card and for 1080P. Though Nvidia and to a lesser extent AMD and their marketing would maybe disagree with their awful segmentation for their cards this generation. Everything was simply too cut down and/or not performing up to par (RDNA 3) and seems to be worse the further down you go down the stack. And Nvidia knows they can get away with it as well. But now, finally people have finally woken up and stopped caring for these cards. From word of mouth, online or otherwise.. that these aren't specced the way they should be, the high prices and 8GB isn't optimal for newer games.

I do feel like Nvidia will turn it around with the RTX 5000 series. Not to the extent of Ampere, but they'll finally stop the crap and give us a properly named and spec stack. With VRAM/memory bandwidth that actually matches the SKU's.

They've lost a lot of good will this generation and AMD, though behind rn may finally catch up to them. And that includes software and ai. That and Intel are also adding some needed competiton in the DGPU market.

And yeah, the 6700XT is definately the card people should be thinking of getting if they're spending around $300. Its got good enough performance for 1440P gaming and a good amount of VRAM. With the way things are with RDNA 3 is going and the 7700 still far from launch, going by rumors.. it may not even be a great replacement for that.
