2 models of AMD but that many of Nvidia. What in the actual EEFFFF. Screw Gigabyte at this point.

I don't really see why it matters. It's kinda stupid for there to be that many variations in the first place, when really only 2 of them are actually worth noting. For GPUs like these, you can get quite a wide variety of configurations, whether that be large but extra quiet, 170mm for ITX cases, single-slot, different color schemes, possibly even low-profile, etc. But for Gigabyte seems to always stick with a bunch of dual-slot 200mm+ black heatsinks, maybe with unicorn vomit. The fact they have non-overclocked versions of the Gaming and Eagle is ridiculous. Who needs a triple-fan dual-slot ~280mm heatsink on a stock clock 60 series card? I'm sure even the OC models don't warrant such huge heatsinks.

It matters because of how many variants there are. And lately, their cards have sucked big time.

Nvidia outsells AMD massively, even a die hard fanboy has to admit the facts. More variants means more shelf space or more options for people to click on website... leading to more people potentially chosing one of your variant.

More important is that AMD has also opted for 8GB on their lower tier cards, so all this posturing about NVIDIA only putting 8GB on their cards was wasted.
Catspaw
8 GB?
Better be real cheap or it will be more GPUs that are not selling.

Its variations in price as well.
Honestly who would rather buy a Asus GeForce RTX 4080 Strix Gaming OC White Edition for £1500
When
You can buy a Gainward GeForce RTX 4090 Phantom for £1550
yeah there is name swagger and claims of build quality blah blah blah but for £50 more you get a ton more performance.

Die hard fanboys don't use reason or logic though, so don't expect him not to turn AMD Rage mode on like always. Imo no partner, not even asus,sapphire,msi or xfx will have more than 2-3 7600 versions to sell, no reason for it. same as 6600xt. Maybe they know something more about the performance that we dont, 4060ti could be a tier higher than 7600, but same limited vram. Anyway, looking at sales numbers alone its a logical decision from AMD partnera.

This.
I never understood this concept of having so many versions with minimal differences to set them apart...
cucaulay malkin
No one really needs more than 2-3 versions, as long as they are decent. Nvidia did this with 4070 already, two different official TDPs to flood the sites with more options to buy their cards. In reality, this only works on people who know only where and how to put the GPU in the pc, of which there is actually a lot more than us enthusiasts.

I doubt a 4060ti barely matches a 3070
oh, I almost forgot, we're talkin about how pretty it is.

Did you not read what I just said? Most of the variants are a waste of shelf space. Best-case scenario, it makes informed consumers waste time trying to narrow their choices (or in the perspective of the OEM, they show up more often in search results). Worst-case scenario, it confuses people into buying something they don't need or overwhelms them.
So long as they have something that can maintain boost performance while minimizing noise, that's all that should really matter.
Traditionally, AMD's product numbers are a whole performance tier lower than Nvidia's. If that continues, the 7600s ought to be compared to the 4050s, in which case, 8GB is fine.
That's a big "if" though. In the event AMD's product numbers are trying to be head to head with Nvidia (and trying to keep up in price too), then shame on them for making 8GB 7600s. In any case, 8GB is definitely on the lower end. I suppose if these cards are marketed as 1080p with DXR on, 8GB might be enough. But I'm sure these could be 1440p without DXR, in which case, 8GB is not enough.
I don't understand your point. You're comparing models from 2 different OEMs. The subject at hand here is comparing 9 variations of the same core from the same OEM.
Agonist
I did read and I was agreeing with you.
pegasus1
The subject at hand is the release of two different cards from two different companies, but feel free to be the forum police.
schmidtbag
No... it isn't. Re-read the article, and then re-read the posts leading up to the one where you responded to me. It isn't about 2 different cards from 2 different companies (as in, AIB partners, not AMD/Nvidia). It's one company (Gigabyte) releasing 9 variations of a 4060 Ti.
Airbud
actually schmidtbag has a point...he is very rarely wrong.
pegasus1
You see the thing is, I don't care what you think. Simples.
Venix
100% agree on that one I do not get why people get the fancy models of the non top end card while the "normal" models of the next tier up card are almost the same price in so many cases !
tsunami231
there is no need for so many varient other it waste imo, it bad enough nvidia started mudding there "varients"
maybe nvidia made to many 4060 and AIB just making more varients to try clear seeing how much hard time AIB are having just seeing 4070/ti and 4080? then again that would make no sense cause they still wont sell if many issue is the price

I've sworn off Gigabyte cards for life! Ain't gonna touch any of their cards for ANY price, those POS don't last! I had two GB RX Vega64 Gaming OC and a single PC RX Vega64 Red Devil, as of now, only my Red Devil is functioning, the two GB cards died just after warranty, and within just 2-3 months of each other! Hence, my preference for exclusive AIBs like PowerColor, Sapphire and XFX.
Edit - I must add that while I abhor GB cards, they do make excellent mobos, both my AM4 mobos have the Aorus branding, I feel totally opposite when it comes to GB mobos.
