3060 ti vs 4060 ti

[Norri_Rad]

I'm looking to upgrade from my 1660 ti, and I'm curious what my best route is. I thought the best bang for the buck would be a 6750 XT, so I got one for a great price and I immediately encountered debilitating crashes despite following the proper protocol for switching to a card from the opposing company. Rip. I'm going to return it and just go back to NVIDIA.

 

So anyway, I'm hearing that the 4060 ti is kind of a massive letdown and only a slight upgrade over the 3060 ti. But if I got one for $400, is the slight upgrade worth it for the 4060 ti over a 3060 ti at probably like $350? Would the 40 series be more future proof than the 30 series? Is it ultimately going to be the pretty much the same performance? Are there any third sleeper options I should consider?

You shouldn't have all that issues with your 6750xt, did you DDU the Nvidia drivers and install AMD ones?

I've switched from Nvidia 3080 to AMD 7900xtx one month ago, didn't had a single crash not due to excessive undervolting...

Really the best option if you want a Nvidia card is to get a used 3080 for 500 bucks

Yes, I did all that. It didn't matter. I got green screen crashes constantly no matter what I did. I've found no useful recommendations for resolving the issue. Maybe it was a hardware issue with the specific card I got. Idk.

You should RMA it, if it's a defective unit (green screens tend to tell it, else its badly seated), even NVidia has some too   

Did you reinstall Windows ?

I didn't reinstall windows. Idk how to do that. I'm not going to.

With an USB bootable Windows install stick, it can repair your install too

Anyway, did you reinstall your old GPU ? And it works ?

I did and it works fine. It's either an AMD driver issue or a defective card. Either way it's really turned me off from AMD but NVIDIA's options right now seem unappealing.

I did own a 6700xt (Asus tuf) for a few days and experienced the same. For me the problem was slightly to high factory overclocking. It was working perfectly fine after lowering the clockspeeds just a little bit.

As I've told you earlier, try that Radeon in a different system. That way you'll now if i's the card or something in your system.

As I told you earlier, I don’t have a different system, dude. I’m not buying a second pc just to test a dead card.

Decent idea. I would try that if I hadn’t already repackaged it for return. I’ll either try another 6700/6750 XT or I’ll settle for a 3060 ti and likely avoid the headache.

Friends, family, relatives, acquaintances, PC repair shops, colleagues, other forum members nearby, coworkers, aliens?

I don't believe you're a single person without anyone else living alone and having no interactions...

 

Keep in mind, Nvidia GPUs require about 30% more CPU strength to properly feed them in the same performance tier, the larger driver overhead, and ease of bottlenecking.

 

I don't like how you're blaming AMD or drivers for a perhaps faulty card out of the box or how you're not willing to diagnose because - if it's your system, you'll have issues with a different card too.

if you cant resolve ur issue get a 3060ti although it is a downgrade

I’m not going to dissect a friend’s pc just to test out my dead card. I put my old card back in and there are no issues. That leads me to believe it’s this card. It might be drivers or it might be a faulty unit, idk, but it’s reasonable for me to be skeptical considering I’ve seen many people complain about the same issue and I experienced it in my one attempt with AMD. I’m not saying AMD is bad, but I’m almost certain I could get a 3060 ti and have no problems so forgive me but that’s the way I’m leaning. If you have any useful recommendations for a new card I’d appreciate it, but I’ve already requested my refund so the troubleshooting phase is over for this one.

That’s what I’m probably going to do but I am sad about it because the 6750 XT is an exciting amount of power for the price. I might consider another Radeon and just hope it works, but I kind of want to avoid the headache.
