According to reviews they seem alright for entry level 1440p gaming. Can't fit the 2.2+ slots RX 7700XT or 7800XT in my SFX case and don't want to go up to a 4070, otherwise would have gone for that, and 4060 is meant to also be a lot more power efficient.
Pay with bank transfer or BPay to avoid surcharge.

Yeah should be good, but you could get more bang for buck from a Radeon. Further down is a link for Scorptec with a much more powerful Radeon for less. Skylines relies heavily on CPU.
Unpopular opinion.. used 6700 XT/6750 XT for $350ish on marketplace would be the better bet….
Not unpopular, just smart.

Is this worth a upgrade from a 1080?
about a 65% increase according to techpowerup, if your looking for a better deal 7700xt is a 85% increase and last ozb deal was $600-629.
Pay a little extra for 7800 xt for $719

Or
7700 xt for $606.25 with code

That $679 ngreedia price is a joke. (performs on average worse than 7700xt)
Won't fit into itx/sfx case
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/amd/10657… this might be better option than 7700xt if you can't stretch for 7800xt
Spend the extra $100 and get a 4070, you get 30-40% more performance. Alternatively spend a chunk less and get the regular 4060 Ti, which will hold up a lot better over time than HUB would have you believe.
Still yet to have games with proper sampler feedback and DirectStorage 1.1, which significantly drop VRAM requirements.
Finally, 50 series news could be as little as 6 weeks away (Gamescom), but the rumour mill is all over the place.
Yeah but the 5060 is expected to use 45% more power.
They done messed it up.
newer architecture smaller process node and other optimisations means more efficient power for performance offered so if we get RTX5050 next generation likely faster than 4060
probably another year until potential 5060/5050 announcements as lot of evidence suggests starting with 5090/5080 then slowly going down the product stack
perhaps AMD's focus on the mid-range might speed NVIDIA to the punch
That was arguably a guess by a power supply company, which also posted some AMD model names that are never going to exist. If the RTX 5060 or 5060 Ti actually had that kind of power consumption jump, it would come with a substantial increase in the die size, and thus overall performance.
So if it happened - and assuming it's not a 16GB model on a 128-bit bus - it would be GB205-based instead of GB206 like people are expecting, it would likely be between 48 and 54 SM and would have its performance levels approaching an RTX 4070 Ti Super or 4080 for raster alone, and come with 10-12 GB VRAM
That's not unprecedented, it's just not what NVIDIA have done with the 3060 (170W), the 4060 (120W) and the 4060 Ti (150W), but did do with the 3060 Ti (200 W), the 2060 (160 W), and the 1060 (120 W).
All the other rumours I've seen point to a notable power efficiency and density gain on this generation with virtually the same silicon process.
Did Gigabyte ever address the whole PCB thickness and the PCI-E connector snapping issue?

Never mind, just realised this is the 8 GB model.
Thats a little more reasonable.
Or maybe not 😆
Outside of LLM/AI workloads and the odd niche gaming case, why in the world would you buy this instead of the 4070 or 4070 Super?
For myself, considering this as 4070/super are more expensive and higher power requirements. I won't be playing newest game at high res, but still worried 8gb GPUs was not enough vram as I have a 1440p screen. Would have preferred to go with Amd but they don't have any strict 2 slots GPU above RX 7600.
None of these are power hungry cards. The 4070 is a fantastic card for your needs, and is much better priced.
I've covered the 8GB stuff here. It's still a little up in the air how that will play out over the life of the card, but the tech involved is very much worth developers taking on, and is now being used in UE5. AMD and Microsoft have been holding the whole space back.
Yeah this is basically the whole reason for this model. For graphic rendering. 16GB for an entry level model is huge. If a rendered scene has over the data of what your GPUs VRAM is - then it doesn't matter what GPU you have, it will default back to CPU to render. So this model with its average performance but big VRAM is only meant for this type of task. People dont realise this and complain about its gaming capabilities.
Would be better off getting a used RX 6800 for less. Same amount of VRAM and better performance. Unless you insist on nvidia or the new market - then that's unlucky for you.
even better then, didn't know they were still selling new
https://www.amazon.com.au/XFX-6800XT-Compatible-Swift-Gaming… might be stock coming from US as it's ETA next month, Amazon is also selling them for $627 so if people have gift cards might be better option for them

Sweet deal, wish it'd fit my case
there is little benefit from having 2 video cards. gains vs cost not worth it.
Nah, I meant I can't fit a GPU that's more than 2 slots thick in my case
Not cheap.
About 1yr ago i bought one such thing for 699, 1yr later, now, the price should have dropped more than 20
Is this good for city skylines 2
