Product shifting. All of those had atleast 2 cards below them. 4060 is the most barebones you can buy. The 160mm^2 4060 is closer to the 118mm^2 chip gt 740 than gtx 760. I mean the actual computer part inside.

Actual size because of the giant cooler... Well it was probably planned to use even more power than it did. You can power limit down to 75 watts / 60% and only lose 10% fps. It's already overclocked waaay above what it needs.

Buy yeah imagine paying $300 for a gt 740. Or $220 in 2014 money.

I wrote about a bunch of stuff. But you say you don't care about tech so it doesn't matter. Regardless the point of bringing in power consumption is because it's the same as a car engine and gasoline usage. Two cars but the one that uses more gasoline is faster. That just means they are the same car. The context being they are suppose to get cheaper but the company pretends that instead of selling you a the same car. They are selling something better for 60% more mokeu.
