I’ve been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.
For me it’s the power usage. All the new graphics cards would almost double my power bill
Actually, despite all the negatives I’ve heard about the 4060 and 4060 Ti, I was looking into it recently and unless I’m mistaken they actually seem to have lower TDP compared to their 30X0 counterparts, while still offering slightly better performance.
I think it’s a shame that that’s been drowned out by the negatives; few people ever mention TDP, but I think lowering the TDP while still having better performance is a noteworthy thing that should be mentioned more.
EDIT: Went to look for some numbers and, according to NVIDIA, the TDP of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti is 115W and 160W respectively, whereas the numbers I found for the GTX 1060’s TDP are 120W.
