Gotta start from somewhere.

Wow 'can't keep pace' is a mild way of putting it, the article says an RX 6600 XT gets on average 3x as much FPS in Cyberpunk as this flagship card (~240 vs 80) :D

Still, everything has to start somewhere, and I'm always happy for potentially more competitors in the market, that only helps us consumers

When CXMT started shipping RAM, they were on DDR3, which was already outdated by over a decade. A decade later, they're shipping DDR5 and LPDDR5X, and they're already being used by big module makers like Corsair.

Well, if the "AI" bubble doesn't burst, we'll be using these in upcoming years. So root for them to get better quickly.

Evenly-applied benchmark tests are clearly a western imperialist conspiracy meant to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Chinesium is still no match for Taiwanesium lol

can't keep pace with Nvidia's older RTX 4060

Does it have to?

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 months ago

At almost double the price, I'd say so!

Keep cooking, Lisuan

Can it compete with a 3080?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Absolutely not, the Nvidia RTX 3080 is faster than the 4060 Ti 16GB:

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-16-gb/30.html

Despite having less RAM The 3080 is about 25% faster on average across the resolutions from 1080p to 4k.
Meaning it is also 25% faster at 4k, despite having less RAM!

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -4 points 4 months ago

These numbers don't make sense

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

IDK what you mean, but for 4k resolution the 3080 is 41,75% faster than the 4060 ti 16GB,
For 1080p the 3080 is 23,7% faster.
The result is clear, the Chinese card is even less competitive against the RTX 3080 than the RTX 4060 Ti.
If you want to know it more accurately, you should look at the resolution you prefer to use, and the games you play.

I think 25% faster was a pretty moderate overall number.

I'm out of my depth 😵‍💫 I just assumed 30 series was better than 40

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

OK, I'm guessing you mean that 40xx series should be better than 30xx because 40xx is newer.
And that is true, but a card ending on xx80 is 2 levels higher than a card ending on xx60. And about twice as expensive.
Typically 70 and 80 have higher RAM bandwidth, which is the reason it is so much faster at higher resolutions.
But comparing a 3060 to a 4060, the 4060 is indeed faster.
Still even an RTX 3060 Ti would be faster than the Chinese card.

PS: The Ti on Nvidia cards signify a faster card than the base model.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago

So basically a xx60 is like a midrange, xx80 is a high-end?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ouch, I wonder if they have a high introductory price, to make sales at half price later to make it look better?
But I'm not even sure it's worth it even at half price.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
