Craft Computing - Hooooo boy... The nVidia RTX 4060 has been launched to an absolute $hit storm of hellfire from hardware reviewers big and small. And the numbers they're coming up with ARE accurate, but do they tell the entire story? If everything your review is garbage now, it might be time to re-evaluate the way we review hardware.

God so many problems:

  • Conveniently side-steps the fact that FSR and DLSS aren't available in most games
  • Says you shouldn't buy anything used or last gen, even though there are such good last-gen options that will give you much better price/performance
  • Doesn't test with literally any other cards except the AMD direct competitor
  • Says reviewers hate it because it doesn't perform as well vs. top-tier cards when the problem is the performance compared to previous gen cards that cost the same or less right now.

And the most awful one: In the section about how it's nvidia's fault, he literally moves all the products up one name instead of down, to compare core counts to a GPU generation that's literally 7 years old. That's literally exactly what Nvidia is trying to do to get more people to pay more for their graphics cards. All the GPUs this generation are way more cut down compared to the last several generations(also, the 4060 and 4070 are even worse than the speculation in that graph, being 19, and 35% respectively.
