Nothing to figure out here. This is literally just cheapening out on $20 of additional RAM and building the dies to have a normal number of memory controllers. They cheapened out plain and simple and thought adding additional cache would "fix". Meanwhile charging more than ever for the privilege. I wish AMD would price their stuff appropriately at launch. They don't have feature parity with Nvidia, but have been content to just slot into Nvidia's price points rather than do anything to drive a real competition in pricing. It's nice to see the 7900 XT now in a much better price point than what it launched at, but sounds like the upcoming 7600 XT might fall into the same pricing nonsense for an 8GB card in 2023.

Reviewers for a long time have gone on to just say "its expensive" and "recommended" in the same review. Reviewers really dropped the ball when this all started in Kepler with the GTX 680 clearly not being the actual replacement for the GTX 580. That came later with the 780 Ti, yet they gave them a pass and we got a decade of what we got.

Where'd you get that figure? $400 in 2023 is about $346 in 2020 money and $338 in 2019 money. Anyway, another pathetic showing from Nvidia. 4060 Ti is nothing but at best maybe a misbranded (and clearly mispriced) 4060. Though that 128-bit bus makes it seem even worse. No excuse for a 2023 product at $400 to have those issues. We can go back and talk about cache sure, but AMD clearly realized cache doesn't fix everything after RDNA2 and that's why you saw RDNA3 increase its bus width again and actually reduce total infinity cache from what RDNA2 had. Just pathetic Nvidia.

Thanks guys, look forward to seeing the results.

Yep. And just being realistic, if a 4060 Ti is barely meeting the performance of a previous gen 3070, for the $$$ it's not really moving the needle. I suppose the 8GB version does, but the 16GB also at $499, same cost as the 3070 was, just means more needles not moving in the generation over generation performance per dollar gain. Just lousy. Nvidia saying, hey mainstream market, here's a middle finger.

He jammed up the gears with a discarded avocado pit.

Welcome to EHW!

Yeah that's really unfortunate. It's just supposed to be for the fun of it really. Elite overclockers should be happy more amateurs are getting into the space.

Huh. Wonder why they changed that rule. Also I didn't realize 40-series vram was ECC.

Yeah sometimes I need to double-check my playback resolution. Just started Cyberpunk. Man it looks good on the OLED.

Love the title, looking forward to it.

And it was an EVGA you guys killed?

Maybe I'll be able to join you in the future. Looks like you had a lot of fun, guys.

This just in: Twitter was always a giant pile of crap and continues to be a giant pile of crap. So anything new?

That's my thought as well. I think a lot us still unknown on the long term affects of mRNA vaccines. However if you have something that has a 88% fatality rate, why not try it?

Do you want the SDR or DDR version?

It's definitely shifted the dynamic of Google vs Microsoft heavily in Microsoft's favor in my opinion in terms of the future of the internet.

Got my order in, thanks.

Supposedly the 5090 might be 32GB - 512-bit. But I imagine everything under it will be gimped to hell. This is interesting tech. I just imagine like any other Nvidia technology it would take time to rollout or be adopted, and by the time won't help anything currently being released that's gimped and shouldn't be.

Nice, I picked up this one:

Honestly primaries don't matter as much as tightening all those secondary and tertiary timings as far as Ryzen is concerned. That said, those primaries are pretty loose. I wonder if you could push CJR 16-19-19-19-39 type primaries.

Agree with the RAM point. If I recall, earlier in the thread @VoidTheWarranty wasn't getting anything read in Taiphoon Burner. Could leave CO on Auto too? I think I let a train of thought get away from me. You're good. Definitely go with what performs better.

Pricing seems decent, if not actually a little cheaper than when I first saw Gen 4's launch and a lot of 2TB were closer to the $400 range.
