I get we need entry level cards, but 4gb?

Pretty sure this will go into the waste of silicon territory.

I'd put it firmly in the "better than onboard, but not good enough for discreet" territory. I can see the 8gig version having some usability, but it's certainly not going to be running anything triple ehh from the last decade.

Except for the price

Sadly, that's a reality of everything right now, though I suspect it still wouldn't be cheap even without the AIpocolypse going on. We're a far spit away from the days of cheap GPUs like the GT710-30 that were basically glorified HDMI adaptors.

At that point, its probably better to just use iGPU from the CPU.
