The RTX 4060 is finally at the number one spot at this big US retailer but not many editions are available, considering the GPU shortages.MSI Ventus RTX 4060 2X OC Takes the Number One Position at Newegg as the Best-Selling GPU; The Majority of Best-Sellers are Still Radeon RX GPUsNewegg's top-selling GPU list shows that the GeForce RTX 4060 is finally at the top despite being an 8 GB GPU. The RTX 3060 remained one of the best-selling GPUs for a long time previously, and that was due to its incredible performance for $300 before the Ada made it to the market.The card had two variants: 8 GB and 12 GB. However, the RTX 4060 only brings the 8 GB VRAM configuration to the table. Despite lower VRAM capacity, the GPU has managed to climb up to the first spot, which is mostly due to the GPU shortages and the sky-high prices of other GPUs. The RTX 50 series and RX 9070 series are mostly out of stock, but even if you find them available, they are incredibly expensive.The RTX 4060 is currently one of the handful of budget GPUs one can afford and while AMD and NVIDIA have focused heavily on $500+ GPUs, millions of gamers around the world want something more pocket-friendly. Not surprisingly, only one RTX 4060 edition can be seen in the top 10 list and the second RTX 4060 card is in the 16th position.Both cost a whopping $450+ even though the MSRP is $299. The card used to be abundantly available before NVIDIA launched the RTX 50 series and started to see shortages, beginning in February this year as the card has been discontinued. There are still stocks left with the retailers and, seeing how bad the GPU market currently is, retailers are able to charge $150 higher than its official MSRP tag.For $400 and above, one could easily buy the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and even the 16 GB edition a while back, but, unfortunately, you probably won't find a 16 GB NVIDIA card right now for less than $400. The Radeon RX 7700 XT has also disappeared from the market completely and the RX 7800 XT is available for over $600.Newegg's top-sellers list shows that despite the RTX 4060 taking the first position, the following GPUs are mostly from AMD, including the RX 6000, RX 7000, and the RX 9000 series. Fortunately, the RTX 3060 12 GB from MSI is available at $319, which is a far better deal than the RTX 4060 8 GB at the moment and will perform better at 1440p in select titles.Keep in mind that the GPU top-sellers list on Newegg doesn't show the entire story, as different NA retailers have different GPUs as bestsellers. For instance, on Amazon US, you will find the RTX 5080 as the top seller, and there is not a single RTX 4060 in the top 10.News Source: @TechEpiphanyYTDeal of the Day
