Arrr, them critics be feelin' a lack o' review samples 'pon receivin' Nvidia's 16GB RTX 4060 Ti. 'Tis a queer occurrence indeed, me hearties!
Reports have emerged that the 8GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card has been performing poorly in terms of sales. This has affected Nvidia's confidence in its product, leading to a stealth launch without any promotion or reviews. Typically, tech websites receive advanced samples of new graphics cards for review, but this time, Nvidia has failed to provide any samples. This means that journalists interested in testing and reviewing the card will have to purchase it themselves.In the coming days or weeks, reviews will likely be released, revealing how the doubled VRAM of the 16GB version will impact performance compared to the 8GB version. However, both versions have the same memory bus and interface, potentially impacting performance.
There are a couple of reasons why Nvidia may have ignored reviewers. Firstly, the underwhelming sales of the 8GB version could have influenced this decision. Secondly, Nvidia's focus on AI-related projects and products, such as Neuralangelo and Project Helix, may have led to a general apathy towards graphics cards. These investments, along with Nvidia's tensor-core technology, have contributed to its trillion-dollar value in the market.
It remains uncertain what this means for Nvidia's future in graphics card production. However, one consequence of this attitude is that consumers may be less informed due to the lack of reviews.
