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.

Unpopular opinion.. used 6700 XT/6750 XT for $350ish on marketplace would be the better bet….
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
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.
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.
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.
Is this good for city skylines 2
