Gotta start from somewhere.

From 1998?

Looks at 142 games in my Steam library that were originally released before 1998
Guess I am buying a cheap Chinese graphics card today.

Real gamers run hardware that old too. Gotta relive the slightly burned smell of overheating components during heavy processing.
QuietGenesis@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 87d
Yeah... because cards like the 4060 were released in 1998 🤔

The performance seems to show that it start around 2022, but the pricing is 2026.

Wow 'can't keep pace' is a mild way of putting it, the article says an RX 6600 XT gets on average 3x as much FPS in Cyberpunk as this flagship card (~240 vs 80) :D
Still, everything has to start somewhere, and I'm always happy for potentially more competitors in the market, that only helps us consumers

When CXMT started shipping RAM, they were on DDR3, which was already outdated by over a decade. A decade later, they're shipping DDR5 and LPDDR5X, and they're already being used by big module makers like Corsair.

Well, if the "AI" bubble doesn't burst, we'll be using these in upcoming years. So root for them to get better quickly.

Evenly-applied benchmark tests are clearly a western imperialist conspiracy meant to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Give it a generation or two. Right now i cant even remember a time when BYD was ever behind tesla.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 87d
Does it have to?
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 12 pts · 87d
At almost double the price, I'd say so!

Can it compete with a 3080?
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 88d
Absolutely not, the Nvidia RTX 3080 is faster than the 4060 Ti 16GB:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-16-gb/30.html
Despite having less RAM The 3080 is about 25% faster on average across the resolutions from 1080p to 4k.
Meaning it is also 25% faster at 4k, despite having less RAM!
Flax_vert@feddit.uk · -4 pts · 88d
These numbers don't make sense
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 88d
IDK what you mean, but for 4k resolution the 3080 is 41,75% faster than the 4060 ti 16GB,
For 1080p the 3080 is 23,7% faster.
The result is clear, the Chinese card is even less competitive against the RTX 3080 than the RTX 4060 Ti.
If you want to know it more accurately, you should look at the resolution you prefer to use, and the games you play.
I think 25% faster was a pretty moderate overall number.

I'm out of my depth 😵💫 I just assumed 30 series was better than 40
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 87d
OK, I'm guessing you mean that 40xx series should be better than 30xx because 40xx is newer.
And that is true, but a card ending on xx80 is 2 levels higher than a card ending on xx60. And about twice as expensive.
Typically 70 and 80 have higher RAM bandwidth, which is the reason it is so much faster at higher resolutions.
But comparing a 3060 to a 4060, the 4060 is indeed faster.
Still even an RTX 3060 Ti would be faster than the Chinese card.
PS: The Ti on Nvidia cards signify a faster card than the base model.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 87d
So basically a xx60 is like a midrange, xx80 is a high-end?
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 87d
Exactly.
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 88d
Ouch, I wonder if they have a high introductory price, to make sales at half price later to make it look better?
But I'm not even sure it's worth it even at half price.
