16GB version is $350, though. Also it’s a major anti consumer tactic, to release 2 versions of a product with the same name and the cheaper being almost useless.
Nobody is expecting the cheapest GPU to be good, they expect it to be cheap. And when 55% of Steam users still use a 1080p monitor and over 60% have a GPU with 8GB or vram or less, it’ll still work fine for a while.
But if you are thinking of buying a new monitor, definitely skip it.
For a while, that’s the key. In 2 years you go for another one.
The $299 9060 8GB will be closer to €400 where I live. At that price, it’s better to suck it up, save a bit more cash and get a slightly better dGPU SKU or go with Intel (prices are also higher relative to US list prices, but not as much as with AMD, let alone Nvidia).
