For me it’s the power usage. All the new graphics cards would almost double my power bill
Actually, despite all the negatives I’ve heard about the 4060 and 4060 Ti, I was looking into it recently and unless I’m mistaken they actually seem to have lower TDP compared to their 30X0 counterparts, while still offering slightly better performance.
I think it’s a shame that that’s been drowned out by the negatives; few people ever mention TDP, but I think lowering the TDP while still having better performance is a noteworthy thing that should be mentioned more.
EDIT: Went to look for some numbers and, according to NVIDIA, the TDP of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti is 115W and 160W respectively, whereas the numbers I found for the GTX 1060’s TDP are 120W.
