RTX 50 is imminent, that’s the implication…
If they are killing off production of everything beside 4050 and 4060, then clearly none of the 50 series about to be released will be affordable.
My conclusion too. Let’s wait and see…
Curious to see what the reasonable entry-level 16GB card will be. In the 4000 series, we had the 4060 To 16GB which ended up being an absolute joke, launched at 500USD, then above that was the 4070 Ti Super, launched at 800USD I believe?
Way too high prices for 16GB. 8GB truly are obsolete today for gaming (and even more so for local LLM inferencing). 12GB is just barely more than 8GB and will not provide with a long life span if bought today…
Edit: just for comparison, the Intel Arc A770 launched at 330 USD with 16GB and the AMD RX 7800 XT launched at 500 USD.
