    Slightly better performance than a 4060 and $50 cheaper. But the 4060 is about to be replaced with a newer model at this point, so is it actually a good deal? Questionable.

      Might be a year before Nvidia’s next 60 class card is out. They usually release from highest spec to lowest.

      Given that Nvidia said to be upping the prices of their 50XX series and the current 4060 and 7600 cards only offer 8 GB of vram, which honestly is insufficient for modern games now and overpriced, yeah, I do think this will offer decent value to budget gamers.

        The 20xx series was expensive, skipped the 3x/4x and went back to amd. Even though I got my 7900xtx on sale, it still was insanely expensive for a gpu…where are the $500 top gpus gone.

      Nvidia says the $2000 5090 comes out in January. They haven’t even hinted at an announcement for the 5060 so it will be a very long time before it comes out.

      Number for number, sure, if it’s actually available at that price.

      The problem is that Intel’s drivers sucked in the past, so they definitely have to prove themselves with this launch. I definitely wouldn’t be buying it release day if I needed a GPU.
