Sorry you live in a crappy country.
No need to insult Canada.
The lack of deals is more about me only buying from Amazon.ca. There were some nice 6700xt/3060 Ti deals in Canada as well, that put them very close to 4060 price so much better perf/$ than 4060, but they weren't at Amazon, and I've seen too many people have return hassles elsewhere.
??No, you are right. But I guess I could complain about the crappy retail availablity you suffer though.
Guess nGreedia doesn't want to share more of the margin on this product with their partners.Partners are reportedly disinterested in the 4060 Ti 16GB:
Very few NVIDIA board partners interested in promoting GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB memory - VideoCardz.com
NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti is getting twice the memory soon According to Andreas Schilling (HardwareLuxx), NVIDIA board partners seem uninterested in the upcoming launch of another RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. NVIDIA announced that it will be providing two memory configurations for its latest desktop...videocardz.com

-Or sales are pretty low across the board and this is just going to be more unsold inventory that AIBs/retailers will get stuck buying high and selling low.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that NVidia doesn't just supply the GPU, but also supplies VRAM that they bought as well as a package for each card...
I never believed in Dracula, but am now having 2nd thoughts. This beast myth won't die.That is my understanding to be the case. But that's assuming a lot about what the actual price of the VRAM is.
I'd imagine it's not just the increase in PCB production and assembly cost. You also have to engineer the new board, and then spin it up and maintain inventory for a board intended just for this one SKU. If the 4060 Ti is already selling like dog poop, I can imagine AIB's reaction to doing all that for a product that will probably sell a lot worse is going to be tepid unless Nvidia helps them out with margins on it.You have to factor in the extra cost of doing clamshell too. Which... may not be that much, but adds just that bit more.
God that 128 bit bus. Pretty funny seeing them say the already crappy for 2023 3060 Ti will likely age better than the 4060 Ti.HWUB, does a 50 game! 4060 Ti follow-up vs the 3060 Ti, not because they think it's good, but because they think it's garbage. Wow, I really think they wouldn't need to do all that work to prove the obvious, really not worth the work they are putting into it:
I still don't understand why they designed Ad106 like this.God that 128 bit bus. Pretty funny seeing them say the already crappy for 2023 3060 Ti will likely age better than the 4060 Ti.
I still don't understand why they designed Ad106 like this.
It has physically +50% SM, Cuda, TMUs, ROPs compared to AD107, although 2SM, 256Cuda, 8TMUs are deactivated. On the other hand, BW saw only a 6% uplift and there is 8MB more of L2 cache.

It's not surprising, 4060Ti performs <25% better compared to 4060.
It's truly the worst GPU of this generation for that price($399-499).
AD106 is only ~18% larger than AD107.
It really seems like AD106 should be a bigger die to fit between the two more evenly, or the AD 107 shouldn't exist at all.
It seems like VERY strange product planning to have such a large gap, then have such a small one.
Even the mobile version is not that great, but the difference in performance is larger.Both were probally intended to be mobile only.
It was designed with these specs from the beginning. You can't just change the specs half way.At that size the OPA and the fixed function must take up a very large % of the die size.
Plus I believe that AD107 was originally intended to be 96-bit.
Both were probally intended to be mobile only.
Still AMD is evil?At 1440p 3060 Ti was ~50% faster than 2060 Super.
At 1440p 4060 Ti is ~5% faster than 3060 Ti.
Still AMD is evil?
Of course.Still AMD is evil?
It was a SKU shift. The real successor to the 5850 was the 6950 (both $300 as I recall)It could be worse. The next generation could be slower than the previous generation(overall not a game or two).
HIS Radeon HD 6850 1 GB Review
AMD's new Radeon HD 6850 comes at an extremely affordable $179 price point. This poses the question whether it can become the new weapon of choice for budget oriented gamers. In our testing we see excellent performance which enables full HD resolution gaming in DirectX 11.www.techpowerup.com
