Being from an older generation, the actual news is the retail pricing settling at around $180.
Obviously, being a halo product, theRTX 4090does not offer great value.
In terms of cost per frame value, once again, it depends on rasterization versus ray tracing.
The 7900 GRE simply isn’t cheap enough at current prices.
This also applies in general to the battle between AMD and Nvidia.
Power efficiency is similar between the two models, though the 6800 lacks AV1 encoding.
Lurking in the shadows for Nvidia buyers are the cheaper but slower RTX 3060 and RTX 4060.
Between the two AMD models, it’s a no brainer.
There are a couple of things to consider.
Though the usual advice remains, if you value ray tracing, opt for the GeForce product.
But if you are considering the RTX 4060, we’d suggest getting the RTX 3060 12GB instead.
Performance is typically similar to that of the RX 7600, at the expense of much higher power consumption.
At $280, we’re not convinced the value is there.
We recommend getting theRadeon RX 6600for just $190 as it continues to offer the best overall value.
The 3050 has always offered poor value.
The RX 6600 is the more reliable product.
Nvidia’s RTX 40 series has been relatively consistent over the past few months.
However, we wouldn’t be expecting many changes in the next few months.
That’s where the GPU market stands at the moment and the products that are the best buys.
There are few standout buys, but also few absolute stinkers.
Most GPUs are currently positioned to offer value to certain subsets of buyers.
Radeon is typically competitive for rasterization performance, while GeForce looks good for ray tracing and features.
Both brands have adjusted pricing to ensure there are no extreme outliers for the most part.
