Nvidia’s 5000 series GPUs are around 20% faster than their corresponding 4000 series counterparts (4060,4060 Ti,4090,4080,4070 Ti,4070). Supply is almost non-existent at the moment so value for money considerations are not possible. Over the last five years, aggressive marketing through platforms like Reddit, YouTube, and forums—combined with subpar products—has crippled the credibility of AMD’s Radeon brand. Meanwhile, Intel has yet to release a truly competitive discrete GPU, though the B580 is getting close. As a result, once again, Nvidia only have themselves to compete with so it might take longer than usual for the 5000 series models to come into stock. Gamers that own a 3060 or better GPU need not rush to upgrade as dropping settings to medium/high rarely detracts much from real-world gameplay. Rather than overpaying scalpers for scarce stock, it’s worth waiting for prices to drop to MSRP. Users looking for the best price/performance should wait for the $300 USD 8GB 5060 cards, anticipated to “launch” in May 2025. Lately, influencers have been fixated on VRAM—mainly because it's one of the few specs their sponsors can actually compete on. However, 8GB of VRAM is still more than enough for most gamers, who are normally best off playing at 1080p either way. Although AMD’s influencers universally trashed the 4060, gamers quickly made it a global bestseller—a sign that even first time buyers are wising up to the scammers. [May '25GPUPro]
The RTX 4060 is based on Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. It features 3,072 cores with base / boost clocks of 1.8 / 2.5 GHz, 8 GB of memory, a 128-bit memory bus, 24 3rd gen RT cores, 96 4th gen Tensor cores, DLSS 3 (with frame generation), a TDP of 115W and a launch price of $300 USD. The 4060 is around 20% faster than the 3060 at a 10% lower MSRP and offers similar performance to the 3060-Ti at a 30% lower MSRP. 8GB of memory is more than enough for most gamers, who are best off playing at 1080p. First time buyers tempted to consider the RX 7600 by AMD’s army of Advanced Marketing scammers (youtube, reddit, twitter, forums etc.) should be aware that AMD have a history of releasing benchmark busting, heavily marketed, sub standard products. The 4060 is more power efficient (quieter), has a broader feature set (RT/DLSS 3.0) and offers far better game compatibility (drivers). PC gamers looking to join AMD’s “2%” GPU club (Steam stats: 5000/6000/7000 series combined mkt share) need to work on their critical thinking skills: Influencers (posing as reviewers) are paid handsomely to scam users into buying inferior products.
