Yea that 4060 for 299$ will be a good card for many years to come.
It will run all your modern AAA games @ 1080p max and 1440p medium. Its good enough for VR too. Also enough to fuck around with some minor ray tracing stuff and overall only 110w average is delicious.
Not a good 4k card ofc but the 4k graphic snobs can continue dumping ridiculous $$$ for their high end addictions. The low end broke plebs need this.

A 4060 barely being that much of a performance jump from the 3060 despite costing nearly as much, and still having less than the RX 6700XT in terms of VRAM is honestly a bit insulting. They're selling this as a 1080p card when the PS5 and Xbox Series X are running games at 1440p (Unless it's Forspoken or Jedi Fallen Order) while targeting 60FPS (or higher depending on the game) despite costing nearly as much as NVIDIA's midrange cards. 13 to 15 TFLOPs isn't that big of a jump, at least compared to the 3060Ti > 4060Ti.
You have to pay $500 for a 4060Ti just to have as much VRAM as AMD's offerings, and while that may not be the end-all of performance, it's absolutely going to age worse than the 16 series of cards. My 6700XT as a result is actually not that terrible at 4K or 1800p, while it's pretty good at 1440p.
Outside of CUDA and OptiX, I see no reason to buy a new NVIDIA card still. DLSS 3 Frame Generation still needs time in the oven (Although IMO, it's a neat alternative to solutions like black frame insertion), AV1 encoding is supported on both Intel Arc and the Radeon 7000 series of cards, and both their Windows and Linux drivers (especially the ladder) are desperately due for quality of life improvements. I could see the point in buying a high-end NVIDIA card if you need it for a workstation or AI applications, but at this rate, they're intentionally making their entry level and midrange cards look far less enticing compared to last console generation where their cards constantly improved each generation and were actually a better deal than buying a console. Coming from someone who has mostly bought NVIDIA until fairly recently, and then sold their 3070 after being disillusioned with the state of their drivers.

New Inti Creates game!
Loving the art style and it kinda reminds me of Okami
Now this may surprise you, but that New F2P Hawken game should be avoided. Horrible pay 2 upgrade mechanics, shop sells you materials in either not quite enough for one, far too much for one but not quite enough for 2, very dull gameplay and appear to be using AI to fill a lot of gaps. Have a look at the doctor lady in the preview below.

Hawken Reborn is a bland singleplayer mech FPS built on a hostile free-to-play model
Hawken has returned from the dead with a surprise singleplayer sequel, and maybe it should've stayed dead.

IIRC original Hawken can be played on private servers, there is a discord for it hovering somewhere.Now this may surprise you, but that New F2P Hawken game should be avoided.

Would you recommend someone now buy a 3060 or 3070 as their first GPU card or wait for a 4060?
I would say that depends on the availability of the 4060 and the price of the 3060
I wouldn't buy a 3060 just because it is only a little slower than a 4060 but costs the same.
Plus the one real upside of the RTX 4000 line is the low power draw compared to older gens or AMD offerings, especially in EU with our exploding energy costs.
Little Big Adventure. Demo coming next month.
kind of looks exactly as I remember it through the rose tinted glasses.
Started playing Kena, seems like the Steam version fixed some of my annoyances with the EGS release version, so that's nice. Very gorgeus and fun game.
thank you kafiend for Jedi Acadamy and Grim Fandango 
welp i'm downloading wow after years of not playing it, this gonna be fun
Thank you for Railroad Corporation kafiend though the key seems to be region locked and I can't activate it in my country so I'll be creating a new raffle for it.

Youre in for a world of confusion
and if youre in the EU region, feel free to befriend me – my BattleNet name is, unsurprisingly, Leanija. Im playing it every now and then.
So according to this we're gonna get Twisted Metal and TLOU Factions on D1 on PC, as well with Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. But most of all I hope we're gonna get a date for Hades 2
OTOH, it does not mention Bloodborne, so that lends it credibility.
Finally arrived my new monitor ^^.
www.lg.com
^^. I'm so happy. I was using another great OLED monitor until right now, ASUS ProArt Display PQ22UC
www.asus.com
but even being a good monitor, and with pro specs which means high density pixel (this was really stuning and it's the main difference with other monitors) I wansn't happy with it. It's just 330 nits at maximum, and this is pretty noticeable. I didn't care it hadn't audio because I usually use external speakers or earphones but nits range was unacceptable.
Let's see how the new one works on gaming ^^. 240Hz!!!! ^^

One of the better fakes (admittedly a low bar), but it’s definitely fake.

OLEDs are soooo good
This looks good, but is a case of pick your poison: Meta or ByteDance.
I’m reasonably happy with my Quest 2 for PC use, but I’m hoping we see more of Deckard soon.
Looks like wishful thinking

Free game, no Steam key
I think its still being updated. Iv not tried the hardware but the app always had meh latency.
Iv been using Parsec.app for years. It has the lowest latency.
Moonlight (client)/Sunshine (server) is the 2nd best option. with some tweaking you can get it almost close to Parsec.

sadly (or not) pic is fake, so...
Ironically I think that pic is fake because it's not good enough compared to the hype that this show is supposed to bring according to grubb who has been 100% right on these shows so far. If they trotted out goodbye volcano high, darkest dungeon 2 and dishwasher collection here they'd get trolled by most people.
But yeah it's definitely fake. Grubb confirmed last night ghost 2 won't be there.
I hope so because it's certainly not a home run list, for me. I want a PS5, but it is also the last thing I need in regard to entertainment. So yeah, Sony better go all in on the 24th.
Just put in a support request on my Xbox Elite Series V2 controller, just 4 months after receiving it! Damn, my old v1 Xbox One controller is resillient.
Goddamn, the build quality on those things sucks royal ass.
Capcom is making adjustments to Exoprimal so it has pve only options, pvp is going to be optional.
Steam refunded my TMNT purchase. That's a new one.
