Ngl I kinda think anyone who buys a current gen, top of the line GPU is a bit of a chump and has been for over a decade.

They just don't make that big of a difference.

I mean… I jumped on a 3080FE several years ago near release time because

  • Rona time
  • it was an absurd amount of generational uplift - as in, I’m not sure we’ll ever see that sort of gen-over-gen performance gain again

The 40 series was basically the exact opposite of this. The lower down the stack the worse the per generation gains got. With the lower end cards sometimes seeing regressions because of the lack of memory bandwidth/capacity.

My 4060ti scores lower than my 3060 on large language model benchmarks. I have a Zen 3 APU, so it's limited to PCIe 3.0. Lower performance in some games too.

I imagine if I had a regular Zen 3 and tested each card by itself in slot 0, the 4060ti would be faster, but it is what it is.
