GeForce GTX 770

Nvidia’s line of GeForce GTX graphics cards grows by one more today with the announcement and launch of the GeForce GTX 770. The $400 GPU offers a cost-effective alternative to the $650 GTX 780 that Nvidia released last week.

The 770 shares many of its features with the 780, including GPU Boost 2.0 (previously only available with the GTX Titan) and the vapor chamber cooler (also a Titan feature) that reduces temperatures while running quietly. Those who follow the typical upgrade trajectory of a new GPU every two years can expect a 65 percent performance upgrade over 2011’s GTX 570.

Nvidia touts the 770 for delivering more power than last year’s GTX 680 flagship, clocking in speeds 5 percent faster. The 7 Gbps memory speed is said to be the fastest ever in the GTX lineup and the base clock speed also gets a slight boost. Both the 770 and 780 still can’t compare to the GTX Titan, but not everyone has a spare $1,000 lying around to spend on a graphics card.

AMD RX 7600 vs. Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti: value over performance

Front of the AMD RX 7600.

AMD's RX 7600 can't hope to compete against the best graphics cards available today, but it can certainly trade blows with some lower-end models. For Nvidia, that means the RTX 4060 Ti. But are the cards really evenly matched?

We've put both of these GPUs through an extensive round of benchmarks, and we now know the answer. Here's how the AMD Radeon RX 7600 compares to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.

Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is one of Nvidia's three 4060 GPUs filling out the midrange segment of the Ada Lovelace generation. Sporting fewer cores than its predecessor, can it stand its ground against the rest of Nvidia's top graphics cards?

Let's find out. We've had the chance to test the RTX 4060 Ti ourselves, and below, we'll tell you exactly how it stacks up against the RTX 4070.

Nvidia may launch 3 new GPUs, and they’re bad news for AMD

In a surprising twist, Nvidia might be releasing not one, but three graphics cards. They all fall under the same RTX 4060 umbrella, although two of them are RTX 4060 Ti models.

This marks a strong entry into the midrange segment for Nvidia, with one of the cards addressing a significant concern -- low VRAM. Should AMD be worried about losing even more business to Team Green?
