AMD just did Nvidia a serious favor

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends AMD and Nvidia are always competing when it comes to producing the best graphics card of the year. It’s safe to say that they both always try, but AMD’s latest attempt feels like it may seriously backfire. The new RX 7600 XT feels like an attempt to fix problems with the original RX 7600, but it ends up being something that Nvidia should be sending AMD a fruit basket for. AMD repeated Nvidia’s mistakes Nvidia’s RTX 40-series is, for the most part, a success. The addition of DLSS 3 made…

I told my friend to buy the worst GPU of the year. Here’s why

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB was the most disappointing GPU I reviewed this year. That was true when I reviewed it at launch, and I stand by that statement today. But recently, I found myself recommending that same GPU to a friend of mine who was building a PC. I wasn’t trying to sabotage his PC — I promise. And so far, he’s having a great time playing games with the card. So how can a GPU be both disappointing and something I’d recommend to a friend? It sounds like a contradiction, but from the…

This was the most disappointing GPU I reviewed this year

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends I’m not mad, just disappointed. Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti has aged like milk, and it just released in May. The card was disappointing when it first released, hamstrung by a memory interface that held it back in games released this year. But it has grown even more stale over the course of the year as some of the best graphics cards, both from the last generation and the current one, have fallen in price. As with any graphics card, you can’t look at it in a vacuum. The RTX 4060 Ti is the most…

Nvidia’s most controversial GPU yet is (sort of) available

Confirming previous rumors, Nvidia released its RTX 4060 Ti on Tuesday without much fanfare. This is the 16GB variant that Nvidia promised when the original 8GB RTX 4060 Ti was released in June, and although it has technically been released, you can’t buy it. Listings are up at Newegg, but there are only five models available, all of which are out of stock. Gigabyte and MSI each have two models, while Zotac has one, and it doesn’t appear we’ll be seeing more any time soon. Asus has announced one model at $600, but…

Even Nvidia’s partners don’t believe in the RTX 4060 Ti

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is reportedly just days away from launch, but rumor has it that there may not be a lot of GPUs to choose from. This isn’t a sign of another dreadful GPU shortage, though. It’s more that the RTX 4060 Ti has very little chance to rank high among the best graphics cards you can buy. We’ve just recently seen the release of the RTX 4060, but Nvidia still has another card up its sleeve — a clone of the existing RTX 4060 Ti that comes equipped with twice the VRAM.…

RTX 4060 Ti 16GB launches July 18 amid desperate price cuts

A bunch of mid-range graphics cards fresh out the gate are already seeing hefty price cuts in an apparent bid to drum up interest, from Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 to AMD’s RX 7600. It’s not a good look, and comes just as Nvidia is allegedly preparing to launch a new version of the 4060 Ti. The news was spotted by VideoCardz, where the authors noticed that Spanish retailer Coolmod had slashed the prices of several GPUs by significant margins. Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The RTX 4060, for example was listed…

RTX 4060 Ti or RX 6700 XT? There’s a surprising winner

You generally expect that a new generation of graphics cards will outperform the previous generation, but we’re in a precarious spot this time around. Nvidia’s recent RTX 4060 Ti hasn’t been met with a warm reception, and cheaper last-gen options like the RX 6700 XT have looked increasingly attractive as their prices come down. I threw both cards on my test bench to see which is the better one to buy, and there’s a clear winner. There are some important considerations to keep in mind before picking up either GPU,…

Literally no one wants to buy Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti

Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti graphics card may have only just launched, but the outlook for Team Green’s latest GPU does not look bright at all. According to one report, there is apparently “zero” interest in the card from consumers, with many retailers expecting absolutely feeble sales. The news comes from hardware YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, who is considered to have some strong sources in the industry. According to their latest video, Nvidia’s budget GPU could be in deep trouble. Nvidia The YouTuber spoke to several…

Nvidia ditches the RTX 4070 as it turns cheaper options

Just as the RTX 4060 family of GPUs is being launched, a new report says Nvidia may be freezing production of its bigger brother, the RTX 4070. Sales of the RTX 4070 are reportedly so bad that the company has halted production in a desperate bid to turn things around. It’s just the latest bad news for a product that has been beset with problems almost from the day it launched. As reported by Wccftech, the production stoppage is set to last until June, by which time Nvidia will be hoping sales have picked up. It’s…

Nvidia explains the RTX 4060 Ti’s memory controversy

The rumors are true: Nvidia has two versions of its new RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. These are the highly anticipated new midrange GPUs, and yes, one comes with 8GB of VRAM and one comes with 16GB — and they’re separated by $100 in price. It’s a head-scratching decision on a few different levels. Games that demand more than 8GB of VRAM are increasingly common, which is frustrating for those eying the $399 8GB model. What’s more — the RTX 4070 Ti comes with just 12GB of VRAM, despite costing $599. That puts Nvidia in…
