What's annoying is they were under $500 just a few months ago.

Bestbuy has the PNY 4060 Ti 16GB in stock right now for $450.

Not any longer...!

This card still seems like a bad proposition. It's roughly similar performance to the 11GB 2080 Ti for double the price. You'd have to really want that extra 5GB.

I still see it in stock for pick up in Bay Area and in Seattle. I tried a Montana zip code and it showed it as available also.

Most people who want the 4060 Ti 16GB is because they want the 16GB for running LLMs. So yes, they really want that extra 5GB.

I'm actually tempted, but I don't know if I should go for a Mac Studio M1 Max 64GB for $1350 (ebay) or build a PC around a GPU. I think the Mac makes a lot of sense.

I have an M2 Max with 64Gb of ram. It handles everything I throw at it. Runs the 30ish gigabyte deepseek model fine. I will admit for gaming I pretty much just stick to Cyberpunk 2077, Minecraft, Stray, Viscera Cleanup Simulator and old games with open source engine options. I'm happy I can play Cyberpunk with my screen on full brightness using 30w, compared to my Xeon windows machine taking 250w for lower frame rates.
