Yeah I forgot the 8GB 4060ti existed definitely meant the 16GB model that's still a touch cheaper 4070

Lesco Brandon on Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $679 + Delivery ($0 with Account/ C&C) + Surcharge @ Centre Com

Also models like VRAM right? So potential for the 4060 ti to be better than a 4070 for cheaper? (With worse gaming) Depending on priorities

vid_ghost on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

This definitely puts the A580 well above the 4060 in my books. VRAM is such a hard limit in some games. If you don't care about ray tracing…
