High NVIDIA RTX 5000 Pricing Pushes RTX 4060 to Top of GPU Sales Charts

$459.98 for a 8GB card? That's awesome, really.

I'd say: let the ignorant public buy Nvidias trash, they sure are getting what they deserve.

There are members on this very forum that will meatshield 8GB cards like they've got some kind of life altering bet on them.

Prebuilts are the way forward. You can easily find a 9950x 3d + 5090 pc for 4.5k euros. The price of those 2 components alone are around 4k, so you get everything else for 500$. Considering that the rest of the components used are actually high end, it's a steal compared to building your own.

Prebuilts have always been the way to compute without hassle.

If 4060s are going for 400 bucks or more, it's a testimonial to the genius of PT Barnum who said, "you'll never go broke from underestimating the intelligence of the American public".


I sincerely hope no one is buying a GPU in this range expecting good ray tracing performance. These things are slow at raster and only get slower when you pile ray tracing on.

I really was looking at numbers, and if I were a casual gamer and bought a 3070Ti, 2080, 4060 or the like they can still run games at 1080 with RT turned on, and they are the majority of the market. The enthusiast class cards are NOT whats driving adoption, its the tens of thousands more midrange cards ability.
