Launch availability at MSRP? Wow!

RTX4000series are selling so badly that that Nvidia has to give free game even for just today launched model
https://www.techpowerup.com/307133/nvidia-b...-graphics-cards

1070 still is a playable card, just might have to turn down some featuresets but thanks to FSR2 (ironically thanks to AMD!) and no RT function ur Pascal still can keep up the FPS in more modern games.

Keep hanging onto it if you can, dun let Jensen buttf*cked you with 12GB VRAM & fake frames DLSS3.

Even tho this is an obvious shameless marketing plug by AMD, fact is, and a lot of reviewers have shown, AMD is correct that newly released games even today would struggle with 8-12GB VRAM and if ur in the market for mid-upper to higher range GPU, dun consider even less than 16GB.

TLDR 4070/Ti have started to rapidly age, and will not age well.

My advice, dun consider anything less than 4080 and when RTX 4000 overall sales tank bcoz the midrange isnt selling, Nvidia might just wake up and correct the VRAM stinginess for 5000series. If ur looking to upgrade but not urgently, wait for 5000 or 6000(if Nvidia still sleeping with 5000series) and if ur really need one get RX6700XT and above or 3080Ti (2K & 4K perf still beats the 4070 thanks to, again I highlight, the VRAM limitations of 12GB on 192bit bus of the 4070).

Dun give in, dun give up. If you believe this mantra propounded by Jensen and Lisa, GPU prices will never return back to normal.

Abuhden, Vulcan line is Colorful's version of balls to the walls OC king with uber bling accessories. The only comparable is Galax HOF & Asus Strix OC line of GPU.

4070 months long leak seems accurate on point so this rumour of 4060Ti I think will be spot on as well:
https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/colorfuls...nd-details.html

Comparing spec vs spec with my 3060Ti, I speculate it could be 75% slower but turning on DLSS3 fake frames will boost it 25% higher FPS than a 3060Ti. Make it what you will, guys.

IMHO 4000 series except 4090 was a wash but bcoz Nvidia still needs to sell them, and to trump over Radeon they came out with DLSS3 to remain competitive on the FPS front. Look at how poor native 4K is without DLSS3


And prepare tp pay more for those fake frames
https://www.techpowerup.com/307412/nvidia-t...rce-rtx-4060-ti

If this trend continues, DLSS4 might make 2 fake frames sandwiching a real frame so the question is how real are the higher FPS from a new RTX then, when ur input no longer counts or rather when the AI "predicts" ur input then?

Don't feed Jensen's greed anymore. If everyone treats 4000series like the lukewarm 2000series, I bet Nvidia will turn up the 5000series far better similar they did with 3000series, which the only issue was high prices caused by Covid, mining & scalpers. Technically it was a far better leap than 2000series. Just don't buy 4000, get 3000 or Radeons.

Didn't Nvidia & GN ady showed that most of the time its due to user did not fully insert the socket? Changing the design how the cable connects still doesn't change the intrinsic sensitivity of the connector itself.

Then it would be interesting to see if Nvidia does make any response or if more cases coming back, however there is a small chance it could be a connector issue or the way that OP plugs in which might dislodge the pins, after all just bcoz its done by CableMod doesn't mean better quality as the connectors they still sourced from the same supplier as Nvidia & the AIBs.

IMHO anything less than 4090 in the RTX40series is a ripoff and ur better off getting that Radeon just to teach Jensen a lesson.

If
The OP had used it for a while and nothing happened, then he would be presumed to know the correct process to plug in the cable.
The connector on the GPU did not burn during his usage beforehand.

So the only new/weakest link is CableMod's adapter part.

3060 nonTi was supposedly a 6GB card, similar to 2060 but was bumped late in development due to AMD giving 8GB for their 66series, looking at benches that GPU could not make use of the massive VRAM buffer except in certain cases anyhow.
This unlike 3070 range cards which would have gotten a massive boost if Nvidia didnt skimp on VRAM https://www.tomshardware.com/news/3070-16gb-mod

As I said b4 in anothe tered, 6Pcores are becoming the minimum for AAA titles and soon 8Pcores will be the recommended medium settings spec. Time for an upgrade to a 10700/K.

8cores is pretty much the apex for gaming right now as it balance core count with speed. Yes IPC & speed matters, which is why games generally dont scale well past 8cores and which is why even 7800X3D has limited to 8cores (same as 5800X3D). But in general, AAA games scales with cores towards 8P and with core speeds.

Really? Just last year AAA games recommended specs were 6Pcores! How times change so fast. Haha

If you need a GC in May its not a matter of worth or not. 40series not yet finish launch the whole family so no way 50series will come out anytime soon.

Rule when buying AAA games, dont buy until the 1st update.

That bad huh? And I thought CP2077 & Hogwarts was about the worst since its unplayable b4 1st update. I guess you'll have to wait until the game is fully stable.

Der8auer is still milking his 10X more expensive Thermalgrizzly LGA contract frames for Intel & AMD CPUs. Give him time.
Once people stop buying those gimmicks from him (because they go for 10X cheaper Thermalrights), only then he will come out his 10X pricier adaptors. Mind you it still won't prevent the socket from burning yea.

Quoting above: "Would you trust this cap ayam adaptor with your expensive af RM8-9K GPU?"

Or else just wait for TermahalGrizzly DerBauer designed & made in Germany(so say) pay in Euros 90 degree angle connector.

I find the performance chart hard to believe. Not because the 4060Ti is so far ahead but because the 3060Ti is supposedly on par with 2080S which is far ahead of the 2060S and yet the charts here showed a not so significant gap, so hmm

None of the 40 series are, not even the 4090 which has no competition as its obscenely overpriced. At this rate, this GPU generation could beat the 20 series for being the most hated series since the FX era.
