Also I just bought a 2K 144hrz monitor finally, ohh man everything looks so much better. I’m all in on 2K gaming from now on.

A GPU so bad it makes ARC look good. Nice

They both seem pretty bad.

The 4060ti is 29% faster and 32% more expensive. That's right on the line with this. If you want to do any 1440p (which I do not), that's much better. Neither is really much of a jump over last gen, neither is much more of a value than the other. Even GN isn't saying to buy this before seeing what the 4060 is.

I still think I'd heavily consider the Arc 7700 if I was in the market, but I will also admit that's the choice for the stupid adventurous man (or adventurous stupid man.)

I gotta agree this seems pretty middling. Based on MSRP from last generation sure it's not that bad, but based in current pricing it really is nothing special. I think it feels less bad simply because it's $270 for a 1080p card rather than $400.

I'm in the 1080p camp...with a 6900XT.

1440, and especially 4K, make text difficult for me to read. Yes, I could jack up the UI scale but that defeats the purpose of a higher resolution.

Though I like saturating my monitors' 144hz refresh rate with everything maxed out and seeing the GPU temp just chil out at 45C.

Never mind 4k being advertised as a feature over a decade ago, it amazes me that 1440p still isn't the current standard resolution for gaming. 1080p forevah!

It's interesting that people want a $1k GPU for $250...;) And so predictable. Some people got it right, though. I don't have a very positive impression of GN, lately. He seems rather desperate of late.
