A user on Twitter has revealed a die shot of NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 4060 Ti that shows the GPU die's model number. If the picture is legitimate, it confirms that the RTX 4060 Ti will in fact use the AD106 die, as previous rumors have suggested, rather than a cut down AD104 die.
The model number shown is AD106-350-A1...

The unaware PC gamer will buy a graphics card based on how much video RAM it has and might be disappointed at its performance. The uninitiated will then tell you that video RAM doesn't matter, because games rarely use that much. Those truly in the know are well aware that current games are pushing past the 8GB...

An Alibaba trader in China is selling AMD Radeon RX 580 GPUs as key fobs with tech-appeal. This is a sad story in some ways, but as graphics cards like the RX 580 (particularly those packing 8GB) are still serviceable, we reckon these key fob GPUs are surely made from salvaged and faulty or completely broken graphics...
