Amazon has/had a PNY 2 fan for $260. This is white which normally adds $50-$100 LOL.

All Nvidia had to do was make the 4060 be 12GB with the same number of Cuda and RT cores as the 3060 and it would have been a smash hit at $300.

It has been this price for a few days. I am waiting to see if there are actually going to be any good deals on this upcoming Amazon sale.

This is an ok deal if your budget is a strict $250, however I'd recommend spending an extra $50 to get a 4060 instead. It's a newer generation, 20% faster on paper, consumes less power, and most importantly (for gamers) has features like "frame generation" technology, which can boost FPS by up to 50%. Note the FPS difference here [youtube.com] and here [youtube.com] for example. Left = no frame gen (which the 3xxx series are limited to). Right = available on 4xxx series cards:

You can get a 2-fan model [newegg.com] of the 4060 for $300, or a 3 fan model [newegg.com] (make sure it will fit your case) for $305:

Alternatively, if you want to splurge a bit more (I realize this is a slippery slope), you can get the 4060 TI for $359. It's 30% faster than the regular 4060, and with frame gen will end up being around twice as smooth as the 3060 while only costing 50% more.

For games that's probably true but if anyone needs to do any kind of video editing in davinci resolve for example, 8GB vram is not enough. It's the bare minimum

This is an "ok" deal if your budget is a strict $250, however I would recommend spending an extra $50 to get a 4060 instead. It's a newer generation, 20% faster on paper, and most importantly has new "frame generation" technology enabled, which can boost FPS by up to 50%. Note the FPS difference in this video [youtube.com]. The left = old technology (which the 3xxx series are limited to). The right is on the 4xxx series cards:

Here is a 2 fan model of the 4060 for $300 https://www.newegg.com/asus-gefor...6814500559

and 3 fan model (make sure it will fit your case) for $305: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-g...6814932629

If you want to splurge a bit more (I realize this is a slippery slope), you can get the 4060TI model (which is 30% faster than the base 4060) for $370. With frame generation, it will be twice as smooth as the 3060 while only costing 50% more.
As a 4070 Ti owner, frame generation is overrated. The input lag pretty much cancels out the "smoothness" of the higher fps. I generally leave it off unless it's a game that doesn't require quick responses and the input lag isn't as noticeable.

This is the 12GB version. I have this card but don't have experience with video editing. Just light gaming, this card struggled a little at 2k gaming for me in a few games at high settings.

Good deal for a white video editing low range card.

For gaming only you should go with a 6650xt for $230. The 6700 is at $280, 6700xt is at $320.

Decent deal for a 2 fan 3060 brand new. Just know that there is a lot of mixed reviews on the zotac rma experience.

Kindly post a link to a card that meets the following criteria:

1. Meets or exceeds the FPS of the 4060 TI with DLSS 3.5 and frame gen enabled in new, graphically demanding/ray traced games (Cyberpunk, etc.)
2. Costs less than $359 (or $329 when factoring in the included $30 RAM kit)
3. New and covered by 3 year factory warranty


Looking forward to your competitive apples to apples options.
