I have a 4060 and it was the best use of my budget, specially considering future games.

A 6700 XT is still faster overall when AI upscaling is taken into account, and considerably faster when it's not, and has 4GB more VRAM. If performance in future games was the main consideration, that would've been the obvious choice in that price range and not the 4060.

But the upscaling on 6700 XT is poor. FSR is so full of shimmering and artifacts that it's kind of a deal breaker. DLSS actually looks great. Based on my experience with both, id rather use DLSS at performance/balanced than FSR at quality, in which case the 4060 will not only give better visuals but more FPS.

You can actually play in 1440p with 6700xt though. You cannot with 4060. The better memory bandwidth and capacity coupled with better performance cannot be simply solved by upscaling. 4060 is so bandwidth starved that it immediately falls off in any resolution greater than 1080p.

I'm able to play every game at 1440p.
