NVIDIA Partners Not Too Enthusiastic About GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB Launch

High-end CPUs have actually gotten much cheaper. Just compare the lowest and highest i7s back in the Nehalem area, or go back as far as Pentium 4. Clock speed was pretty much the only difference between different models, yet one would cost $300 and another $1000.
These days going from a $300 to a $600 CPU doubles your multi-threaded performance.

Another thing is that $200 has pretty much always given you a CPU capable of 60+ FPS gaming. Can't say the same about GPUs.

Nothing changed there, a 60fps gpu was always more expensive then a 60fps cpu. Only on the bleeding edge if you were buying those stupid waste of money extreme intel cpu's.

RTX 40 Super series incoming?

RTX 40 Super series incoming?

nope, its already here. Re-defined as:

- "super" expensive at the top end

- "super" skimped at the bottom end

Unfortunately no middle-ground

I was hoping for the disappointment to come later, when the market would be full of those 16GB cards and manufacturers would have no option other than offering discounts. Those cards could be great for running things like Stable Diffusion - it's mostly limited by VRAM. With 16GB you can run 768x768, my 10GB 3080 runs out of memory at anything above 640x640.

this IMO is one of the reasons why Nvidia is skimping on mid-ranged cards. They're afraid to lose business on those expensive professional workstation GPUs which find plenty of popularity with the creator segment. So its either 4080-level/+ prosumer cards or the quadro extortionist.
