Looks like they might finally have a fix for the nVidia driver DPC latency problems, but it's still being tested and hasn't rolled out yet.
For the 99.99% of users it doesn't. It may cause issues for those who need real time response - this is mostly people working with audio production.I'd never even heard of this. How does it manifest in the real world?
After poring over these results, we can see that the new RTX 4060 easily beats out its RTX 3060 predecessor, and often surpasses either the RTX 3070 or RTX 3070 Ti, depending on the render engine.
When we compare against the last-gen parts, the RTX 4060 looks quite good, in some cases even able to match the RTX 3070 Ti, which SRP’d for $599. That said, there are are variations in performance strengths of the RTX 4060, with it out-performing the RTX 3070 Ti one moment (in Arnold), while other times slides in behind RTX 3070 and just ahead of RTX 3060 Ti.
One performance gain that stood out was with Blender. In both of the Cycles renders, the RTX 4060 leaped quite a bit ahead of the RTX 3060.
A recent RTX 4060 Techgage review indicates the card might generate low budget Creator interest in specific applications like Blender.
Names don't matter. Even if they would name 4090 a 4050 that wouldn't make any change to perf/price.In my opinion, this is what NVIDIA should've named their current cards, this would have made much more sense, with a vastly better general critical/public reception but would've made pricing much more difficult. Imagine a 4070 costing 800$, or a 4050 with a 300$ price tag.

Agreed. I think much of the blame is due to not knowing competitor pre-launch price/performance in similar tiers.In my opinion, this is what NVIDIA should've named their current cards, this would have made much more sense, with a vastly better general critical/public reception but would've made pricing much more difficult. Imagine a 4070 costing 800$, or a 4050 with a 300$ price tag.

First time in a while I've agreed with you, but yeah it'd be much less awful if'n they followed your naming scheme. It would have better reflected the cards performance relative to previous generations.In my opinion, this is what NVIDIA should've named their current cards, this would have made much more sense, with a vastly better general critical/public reception but would've made pricing much more difficult.

The only 'tier' in existence worth talking about is the pricing tier. The rest are just people being tools for marketing depts.At least then we would have a much clearer generational leap at each tier
True but there are a whole lot more "tools for marketing" than informed consumers, especially in GPUs.The only 'tier' in existence worth talking about is the pricing tier. The rest are just people being tools for marketing depts.
It's telling that you had to cherry pick one of the worst releases you could find from a very specific architecture release that had bloated die sizes due to still using an old(at the time) 28nm process which allowed them to keep costs down even on the relatively larger dies.9 years ago nVidia sold a GTX960 card for $199 with a 200mm^2 die, 128bit, 2GB. Alone CPI put this card at $260 in 2023.
Now you get a 156mm^2 5nm die, 128bit and 8GB for $299. There is nothing wrong about the price. Its just average and domain specific inflation which makes this card so expensive.

Which is where perf/price comes from naturally.Surely actual performance is also relevant.
