For that reasn I'm going to buy a 4060 and upgrade in 3 years so I can have AV1 encoding plus playing some older games so buy the cheapest now and then see how 50 series performs for the price.
Watch for a potential Super series release in 6 months with more memory on each one.
There's been no talk if the 5000 will have cheaper release pricing since the 4000 can't sell.
Nvidia seems committed to their awful pricing and they're raking in the money via enterprise AI nonsense, so I'd expect no price change.
Not to mention that you're still just buying their latest card so the strategy is working after all.
I'm still on a GTX card, no RTX, I want AV1 encoding, Intel Arc sucks for DX11 games, and 7600 is usually behind 4060, only a few game titles can the 7600 match it.
The 4060 isn't out yet and hasn't had independent benchmarks reported on yet, so I'm not sure how you can say how it compares to the 7600. Unless you meant the 4060 Ti? But that card costs $200 more than a 7600, so it's not really comparable.
There's a lot of review videos on YouTube released today of the 4060 for retail release tomorrow. The 3rd party review embargo lifted today.
Ah yeah, I see them now. I don't think they had been published when I responded earlier.
But yeesh, those benchmarks are pretty terrible for the price, at least if you're looking for an apples-to-apples comparison without frame generation. Might as well save the 50 bucks and go with the 7600, since the average performance difference percentage is only in the single digits.
I also have a mild interest in raytracing performance for 2 older games, nothing like Cyberpunk level of demand. The 7600 is not at the same level for raytracing as 4060.
Also for AVI encoding it seems programs like OBS have better support for nVidia encoding.
I could try Intel but I do require native DX11 support and Intel is not an opton for that.
