Hey, subscribe if you haven't already :) ❣️
I bought an RTX 4060 to see if it's any good. This is Nvidia's new entry-level graphics card for RTX 40-series, though they do seem to still be offering other, they don't advertise them. I even was able to borrow an RTX 3060 to put it up against... is $300 too much for this GPU? Are entry-level GPUs doomed? Should you even bother?

The fact that Amazon deliver the graphics card without additional packaging and placed it at the door make this even better. It's bring "Who would steal this sh**" vibe.
The RTX 4060 is so bad, not even porch pirates want to steal it.
amazon now has a little box that say "save packaging by using original shippers boxing" or some shyt like that, and its automatically set to that. So unless you scroll down and look for that box and switch it to "amazon packaging" it wont come with amazons extra packaging. I just went through this last night and was like wtf. Fucking scammers at amazon trying to save a buck , meanwhile CEO is a fucking billionair.
Na nowadays they don't put additional package and say the original box is gonna be revealed
My extension cables and psu came without the amazon packaging
But my AIO came with the amazon packaging 😅
It's still weird to me that refusing to even attempt making contact with the customer is the established norm in the US.
"Porch piracy" would be SO EASY to prevent. I'd much rather pay a tip, than deal with that crap.
Its kinda weird to me that post offices just leave stuff out in your door like that, here they call you to see if you're home, and if you're not they leave it at their offices.
Seems like doing it like this just leads to inevitable safety concerns.
don't worry guys, next gen the 5060 will be marketed at 720p instead
With DLSS you'll enjoy lovely 240p 1000 fps though!
and it will still only have 8gb of vram
@@Plague_Doc22 *upscaled from 144p
nah it'll be called 5050
"720p is the most popular resolution"
Nvidia wrong named it... it's a RTX 4050.
I wanted to point this out. It is that on 60 series cards, you typical get the higher end of a budget gaming card. The 1060 6GB is a really good example. Awesome card $200. But they wanted to charge $300 for the card and they cant do that calling it a 4050 or 4050ti as those cards generally run from $100-$160. Who is going to buy a card with a perceived value of $150 for $300? So, it essence, it is a scam. Nvidia used their naming conventions to fool you.
Rtx 4050 $199
It woudlve been a best seller for most budget builds. But Nvidia can't do anything right.
Which makes a 4050 a 4040.
@@teilanittv Oh, bro., totally scamming off the 60 series name.
Exactly
The delivery driver knew what he was doing, you can leave that at the door for a month and no one will steal it
Its actually a good card just awful price
Crypto miners will. Just saying.
@@merchantmocha4665 well with that argument, everything is good but has bad pricing. It is a bad card, it brings nothing new. Any video card used for gaming in 2024 without atleast 12GB of VRAM is simply bad, whatever the price.
@@eptic-c and here I am playing whatever I want with a gtx 1660 super with 6 gigs.
@@eptic-c most modern games require more than 12gb Vram.
This has been proven by tests from many CZcamsrs using RX7600xt 16GB.
in other words the 8gb era will soon be extinct for the latest GPUs.
For perspective, to those that may be too young to remember.
In 2016, AMD Launched the RX 480 and RX 470. It launched along side Battlefield 1, which to this day, looks better, than some AAA games (cough, starfield) and still looks absolutely insane.
The RX 470 was MARKETED as a 1080p, 60fps, MAX SETTINGS card in a game that didn't even launch yet, and set the standard for graphics fidelity in first person shooters.
The 470 was also capable of getting 60 FPS at 1080p, max settings, in the witcher 3, probably the most demanding title at the time and was barely a year old.
The RX 470 cost 179, and the RX 480 cost 199. Accounting for inflation, that would make them 230$ and 260$ respectively.
The fact that a card for 299$ can't play a game like atmoic heart or the last of us at 1080p at 60 fps...even with NVIDIAS SUPPORT IN THOSE GAMES. Is sad.
Its also sad that the card from the previous generation runs better most of the time...
I won't even mention how in 2016 the RX 480 8GB at 230$ was marketed as a 1440p card...before 1440p even went mainstream.......
And another problem...is the 3060ti costs around 250$ used....
oh my god I knew AMD released some absolute bangers but I didn't know they released bangers THAT GOOD??
Amd got overshadowed hard in that time period by the 10 series of nvidia. It wasn’t until the 20 series that they started to fall off again. Even the 1650 super and the 1660 super are still arguably great cards for the price. Right now you could get either for less than a hundred dollars used. It is insane that the 1080 ti is comparable to the 30 series cards.
@@delayedplayerI gave my 480 to my friend so we can play helldivers 2. It runs at like 40 fps native res, on an 8 year old midrange card.
Bro! I had the RX 480 and it was a fricking beast. I got a 3090 3 years ago and I gave my RX 480 to a friend and is still playing games on that card to this day. I was playing Resident Evil 2 Remake on High at 1440p 60fps. It could even run it at 4k 30 fps, that thing was insane, and it cost me 300 Canadian dollaroos. What a steal.
Meanwhile I don't want to say how much my 3090 cost 😢
The RTX card cost a bit more because of the RTX features and power efficiency, which is why it's getting more popular than the AMD and possibly Intel Graphics card that are cheaper and offer same or more performance.
0:57 In regards to the Amazon packaging issue, Amazon has actually made it so that some items are shipped in their bare boxes by default to reduce packaging waste. At the check out, there should be an option ro ship with or without Amazon packaging, and the with packaging option even has in parentheses "hide what's inside". As far as I know this should be free, but results may vary?
Make sure you toggle this option when buying valuable/expensive stuff.
Super happy you talked about Blender towards the end. I'm curious how the smaller memory bus effects video rendering tho.
It's not the card issue, its price issue.

@@scarfaceReaper but it upscales to 480p and generates 3 fake frames in between the real frames.
the best part of the 4060 is that it came in a low profile version for itx builds.
i bought that and its perfect for me and in my country its very cheap too
I WAS IN THAT THREAD! i was assuring to the guy though. told him not to let people get him down cause a new gpu is a new gpu. he was upgrading from something realllllly old anyways, so it was an actual upgrade for him.
Plus it was the best he could afford so i just told him to go play and enjoy some games. 45-50 fps isnt optimal, but it is playable for single player. I remember being extremely poor and having to game on systems not meant for it. deleting textures out of game files and still only getting 26 fps... first gaming pc played skyrim at 48 fps and i loved skyrim. played it on that system for years before my first prebuilt.
Budget gaming... its allot of compromises. if you dont have the money, sometimes you have to take what you can get. thankfully theres allot of optimizations in the Modder scene.
Remember to always dl afterburner and look up oc guides on YT! keep your hardware longer regaurdless of how good/bad it is!
If you were actually there, that thread was months old. The problem and still the issue is he could've spent 49$ dollars more for 30% to 50% improvement.
Now cards are even cheaper and The 4060 is just priced even more wrong aginst other cards... very wrong... get a 4060 super or 4070 ti for the same price or slighter higher (all depends on brand and If it's used)

@@spoonycrawdad5017thats because all the new 3060s that are left are dead stock thats overpriced. Old cards should not be compared by their new prices. 🤦♂️
RTX 4060 is not bad itself, just don't consider it as an upgrade if you already have anything better than a GTX 1070.
I upgrade from a 1050 to a 4060.
But for me, the only options were that or an rx 7600 for a similar price.
6700xt out of stock here and 3060 is $50 more and slower so the buffer between the 4060 and 4070 doesn't exist where I am, it's either get a 4060 or nothing at all because the cost of everything else is just far too much here.
@@gamerz64xdthere are no bad graphics card just bad priced ones the card is fine teas a big upgrade for you. It’s only bad if your upgrading from a 3060 ti. Since I believe how it was before was that the next gen 60 series would be faster than last gen ti in the same series.
My 7 year old GTX 1080ti is better than this. It's trash slip Nvidia 4000 series and probably moving forward as well. I jumped to an xfx 7900xt for 699.99 plus 80 off in Amazon rewards and I have loved it 1440 killer and a hard 4k card.
@@DJ-fw7mi 4060 is faster than 1080Ti. 1080Ti is at the same level as 3060 12GB. the only thing 1080Ti have over 4060 is VRAM. and when running newer games that takes advantages of things like async compute heavily the 4060 will pull even ahead.
@@arenzricodexd4409 doesn't make it worth the price of 300$ on the low at all. Card won't even last a generation, needs features to produce frames at 1080p when the 1060 was aiming for 1440p in 2016. It is a terrible do not buy and forget about Nvidia since they forgot about gamers who helped build up that company.
AD107 is a 50-class chip.
In fact, all of the 4000 cards (except maybe the "4090") are shifted by 1-2 tiers than they SHOULD be. This entire generation is a major skip.
True, this is just so evident with 4060 and 4060 Ti
Nvidia jacked up the price on top of calling their lower binned chip as midrange. Double kill for consumers.
i tink even the 4090 isn´t the full unlocked chip
@@i3l4ckskillzz79nah 4090 is the only real deal
It's goes like this what the cards actually are

This was honestly a more understandable and commentary review over this card than tech Jesus and some other CZcamsrs. Keep up the good work!
Man I gotta say, I love your approach to testing things here. We need more 'average' type people making content about tech and PC gaming
even if they make so many basic comparison mistakes, leading to miss represented analysis.

😂 Lol.
You wouldn't play any game with 60 series of AMD, cause every game will mandatory DLSS and frame generation.
@@789uio6yThe graphics card he bought has enough Vram to play at 1440p for now, so it won't be a problem unless you want to play at 4k ultra.
“It’s a canon event, there is nothing we can do” got me laughing
Intel ARC A770 16gb is a far better value in my opinion. Bought one in December, and it's been fantastic. No problem running games at ultra settings in 1440p and even full 4k on low to medium settings depending on the game. But I would highly suggest it if you only have $300 for a GPU as it comes in at $299. I get 130+fps a 160hz at 1440p on my Ultrawide LG monitor and 60-80 at 4k 60hz on my TV playing on dayz... will only get better with a higher refresh rate. Don't listen to the nay sayers, these Intel Cards are not bad.
i play too much old stuff that it won't have drivers for, but in principle i believe you and wish they got more credit.
@@Eunostos I play a lot of older games too, no problem. I'm currently replaying the first Max Payne, smooth as butter.
The problem is the price. This should have been a 4050 and priced acordingly. But 3060 level performance for 50% less energy use is kinda crazy!
exactly not many talking about the low power for same level performance.
like you said, the price is the biggest issue. if they would have released this at a fair price, it would be in every budget pc
How the fuck it 3060 level of performance???
Even on techpowerup it 18% faster than 3060, the 3060 is only 16% than 2060! Lol! It even when you doesn't consider frame generation! So 3060 is on the performance of 2060?
Also 3060 got hyped to much just because of vram that it can't utilize, every sencerio where 3060 exceeds 12gb of vram it get unplayable fps any way.
@@789uio6yFair, but the RTX 3060 should be great if you do both gaming and demanding work tasks that need lots of VRAM like Rendering and Machine Learning.
3060 is on average a bit slower, yes but most of the time its only 5-10% slower which ends up making no difference in your enjoyment in games. Also the 3060 has a much wider 192-bit bus meaning it will perform much better in memory intensive games or at high resolutions than the 4060 (128-bit). Frame generation can only be confortably used at 50-60+fps so its not really a feature you are going to use much on the 4060. Also Frame Generation adds an average of 200-400 mb of vram usage when you anable it, so memory limited cards like the 4060 might not even be able to use it if the game requires high ammounts of memory. Any card that exceeds its vram gets unplayable, doesnt matter if its a gtx 1050 or and rtx 4090. The 3060 can have 50% more things loaded onto memory before swapping to ram than the 4060, which in games means you will be able to have much better texture quality and effects than on the 4060.@@789uio6y
they can call it 4050 the price will still be $300. consumer need to accept the reality that cost are going up.
Finally, someone who, instead of insulting and snubbing a product, provides clear and contextualized reasoning.
Basically the improvement from samsung 8nm to tsmc 4nm was huge, but rather than distribute that benefit throughout the lineup they gave the most of it to the high end cards, and used as small of a die size as they could get away with for the lower end cards, to my understanding. The 4060's die size is so small, it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually cheaper to make than the 3060, even being a newer node and all. So the 4060 in the end is like a 60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance. Great video Vex! I enjoy your "conversational" style of videos..
“60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance”
It does make me wonder if anyone tried overclocking this card. What if we could give it the same wattage as a 3060?
@@TheMamaluigi300 Every architecture has an ideal voltage curve, and it's usually a diminishing gain the higher you go. If it would even allow you to pump the wattage up that much, you wouldn't get a huge gain. Think of it like how the intel 14900ks uses like 400w but it's 5% faster than a 12900 at 200w
The one and only thing that I'll give the 40 series lineup kudos for is their power efficiency. Goddamn is it fucking impressive, but I wouldn't doubt it having to do with how small the memory buses are
5:00 power efficiency man

Rhymes like dimes
saddly it's looking like nvida may repeat the 4000 series with the 5000 series . the 5080 and 5090 will be damn nice and expensive .. while the 5070 will again be gimped with just 12gb vram , and the 5060 will be gimped with just 8 gb vram.
Or it repeats the same 8GB 128 bit-bus or it will increase the price to 349$ or 399$ knowing Nvidia.
You can have that performance (even a bit better) since like 2 years with 12 gb vram. its the 6700 xt GPU that goes for 300¨$. there was no reason to buy a 4060 for 400$ at any point lol. i think they dont change the way they move.
You could leave this card outside your front door for a week and it'd still be there it sucks that bad
I'm glad you showed the guy on reddit actually didn't get dunked on by everyone.
I've unfortunately seen a number of instances where people have been SUPER excited about a purchase they made or how they just put together their first rig, and absolute sad, unloved trogs just come outta the woodwork with the sole intention of making them feel like absolute garbage for sharing something that they were so genuinely happy about, proud of, and excited for. My night is now saved because of that😌
texture files are getting bigger every year and gpu manufacturers are cutting vram with every generation. It's mind boggling
as always the problem is the price. the card itself is not bad and if it was 200$ everyone will call it good
128 bit memory bus says everything
yea and 8gb memeory too
Plus 8x pcie 4.0 lanes (down from 16x from 3060)
Dont worry you should believe Nvidia and DLSS hype. Can get 80 fps with DLSS at 1080p (just dont try with DLSS off)
Nothing wrong with 128 bit buses, the problem is when the VRAM capacity per chip is low. If GDDR6 had mass produced 4GB chips, then 128 bit bus cards would have 16GB of VRAM it would be great, instead the volume of 4GB GDDR6 chips is very low and we get 8GB cards.
Bandwidth-wise again we just need faster memory.

Don't even know what the prices of the next generation are going to be, or what the performance is going to be like.

Just compare the die size of the 2060 (445mm) to the 4060 (159mm) and that will tell you what you need to know. That doesn’t even include the bus width shrinking as well from 192 to 128 bit.
Nvidia took a 4050 and renamed it to a 4060 and jacked up the price. If you bought a 4060 you were tricked and I feel for you.
2060 was made on an old processs node wasn't very well received, it actually had a nice performance bump but also +100$ MSRP. 3060 was also built on cheap but bad Samsung node. Why don't you compare it to 1060's 200mm die?

Upgraded from 1660ti to rtx4060. Rtx3060 was like $310, and rtx4060 at $330 that was within my budget. Rx7600 was priced near $320 lowest but i skipped it because my psu is only 450w. So its not an issue with rtx4060. And rx6700xt was $400 in my country which was significantly over my budget and i would have also needed to upgrade psu for that. So i guess it was a fair choice to go with the rtx4060. I play on 1080p monitor so its not an issue and also run dlss quality mode if the game has good implementation. Can't tell much of a difference unless i really look for it. Sometimes its even better. I played horizon zero dawn and dlss fixed the foliage shimmering that it had with taa.

Should I opt for a cheaper PC? If so which one can you recommend?
Should I get a 3060 instead or perhaps an AMD variant with 16gb vram?
My current model does not support over clocking. What is a great setup to look for if I want to future proof for the next 5 or so years?
Thank you
I got the same PC and it was a bit more expensive but you can play anything, so yeah don't worry
just got a 1440p external monitor and 4060 laptop recently, loving it so far. I know 8gb vram in modern games might not be enough but just dropping the texture quality fixes vram usage in most cases and lets be honest even if it had higher vram RT would be smoother but still not 60+ fps so realistically no one is going to sacrifice fps for RT that sometimes isn't even that noticeable. I got a great deal on the 4060 and I'm happy.
I bought a prebuilt cyberpower from costco with a 4060 right after they come out and was literally having buyers remorse while enjoying it lol ( how dumb is that?). When the 8gb vram becomes an issue I will throw the 4070 super in it and be good till 12 ain't enough lol. Enjoy that laptop my friend.

@@danieltoth9742 W for the lower end regardless
It's really weird that no one around here seems to mention the Intel Arc A770 which is about the same price now and thanks to matured drivers runs laps around the 4060 in performance and ray tracing and with it's 16GB VRAM scales excellently to any resolution. The only thing that NVIDIA has going for them at that price point is power efficiency, which is not a big concern for gamers.
intel drivers said hello....
Arc drivers improved a lot but I wouldn't call them matured. There are issues in some games. You can't speedrun development in the graphics industry when your competition has been on it for decades. But in that short time they did a really good job.

Exactly. Because these brainwashed and gullible customers are still stuck in 2022, back when the drivers were messed up. Also, the first generation of a product line is always going to have some issues, it's only natural. If the Battlemage series goes well, it's very likely that Intel will take a huge chunk of the market share in the next 2 years.

NVIDIA hasn't been making cards designed for gamers but instead designing card designed for share holders. I agree with your end of video review about the card. Though the video my brain was screaming that it should have been called the 4050. It was nice to see an honest review that talked about the cards strong point and then come to the exactly the same conclusion about it's identity in the 40 series I did while watching the video. I bet they would sell infinitely more of them if they did called it the 4050 or even 4050ti.
What gpu testing software is used in the video?
The 4060 gets allot of hate because it's barely a generational upgrade and is often beat by its last gen model. This card should have been at least 20% to 30% faster in most games.
The only positive thing I will say about it, is the power draw per frame is pretty good.
But an energy efficient waste of sand is still a waste of sand.
I'm amazed that you can't see the merits of the 4060. Yet nearly everyone falls into this same trap. It's a budget card that can do a little more than its predecessor the 3060 like-for-like, and also has the AI frame generation for smoother FPS, yet it is around the same price and runs significantly cheaper and cooler.
It fits perfectly into the budget price of someone who wants a basic card that can run 1080p easily and 1440p reasonably.
The 128 bits is perfectly adequate for this level of card.
You can run any game available today, the most GPU pressing ones might need a few quality settings lowered but that's what a budget card is about.
You want it even cheaper than its predecessor? Why?
Or you want it to do more bells and whistles and cost more? Why?

Both the 3060 and 4060 will be outdated in the next 2 years, get a 4060ti to play at 1080p - 1440p you can go 4k 60 fps in aaa single player by turning down the settings, My best recommendation is to save some money and get the 4070ti or 4070 super you can enjoy 4k at high fps for 5-6 years way better than spending on a cheaper gpu
4060 definitely
4060 is lower tdp wattage
@@kakashiedits27the 3060 will most likely outlive the 4060 significantly. Also shame on the people recommending the 4060.
I have a NUC9 Extreme with a 3060 TI 8GB. It gets pretty hot. Occasionally games crash. And there isn't much room in the case for larger cards. Money isn't a huge concern, but I don't want to change the form factor. Do you think it would be worth trying the 4060 TI 16GB?
4060 Ti on average is up to 20% performance increase over 4060 without Ti at the end. Over 3060 Ti it has better energy efficiency more than it has meaningful performance boost and less heat as a result. Is it going to be sufficiently less heat, can't say. Raytracing is still a no go, both 4060 and 4060 Ti primarily need RT cores they have to run DLSS 3 (especially if with Frame Gen - Ti will run Frame Gen better). Even without DLSS, xx60 cards are simply not for Raytracing.
Have you tried underclocking 3060 Ti to lower the temperatures? The goal would be to bring the card to draw same number of Watts as 4060 Ti stock and see the temperature. If those temperatures are much better, then 4060 Ti will provide similar if not better without performance loss from underclocking 3060 Ti.
I will consider 4060low profile for sff build, really small one.
Yes, they are great for that, but for people with way more money, they get an A2000 for sff builds primarily focused on workstation tasks, but these pro cards can play games surprisingly well, and they have much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch longer support from nvidia than their consumer-grade cards, without mentioning that they are extremely optimized for efficiency, they just consume crazy low amounts of power and generate almost no heat. I remember an RTX 8000 could do the same or in some loads the double than a 3090 using less than half the power of a 3090. As much as I have to agree nvidia is greedy, their professional cards are really, really well made and built impeccably, the super long software support for drivers and improvements also are very attractive.
its interesting how people just assume 4060 is a bad gpu cuz its the lowest tier, ive got a 3060 which is a little worse and i play anything i want on it , i used it for 4k 60fps, and now im using it for 1440p 170hz, and if u just lower ur standards and use enough DLSS and play on medium settings, you can play anything even on 4k
I totally get if somebody was to buy a 4060 and had a 3060 already I wouldn't personally think that is money well spent, but there has been some pretty good deals on the all hated prebuilts with a 4060 in them and being as I play on a 60 hz 4k tv it works out pretty good 4 me,, when the 8gb vram won't cut it im putting a 4070s in it till the 12 won't lol
@@nimrodpaul6875 yeah pre built especially good deal. Also, 3060 upgrade to 4060 is really stupid, Nvidia says you save on power but you can literally undervolt the 3060 to 115w with the same fps and get fsr3 mod and it's basically the same GPU as 4060

Duh, you're comparing a GTX 1650 vs the RTX 4060. Of course, you're going to see improvements. He's talking about the 4060 in a different context.
4060 is just a badge-creeped 4050ti. Last gen, the real 3060 was the 3060ti, and this gen the real 4060 is the 4070. HOWEVER, if this card was 230-250$ instead of 300-330$, it wouldn’t matter what it’s called because it would’ve been excellent price/perf. It’s effectively a RTX2080 that pulls 115W. This is the best card the SFF market has seen in years. It’s just about 20% overpriced imo.
I picked up the RTX 4060 for my dedicated stream pc, strictly for the NVENC encoder and its ability to encode in AV1. Works great for that particular use case.
Casually says "Alan Walk 2" which is exactly describes the performance of modern "Triple meh" games.
i call it shaniqua woke, since its a bait and switch and you mostly play as her and they made her black because sweet baby inc said so when she was originally a scandinavian woman. For a story game the writing is terrible. I swear modern games are either survival crafting grindfest, souls clones or open world ubisoft games that are collectahons and when they are not that, they are story games with trash reddit tier writing.
More like Alan Woke 2
yeah current gen games aren't exactly what I want to play with this card and I wished he'd tried older games to see the performance

The raytracing part always gets me. NVIDIA is marketing their cards as RTX so they can mark them up with less backlash, but only their higher end cards are powerful enough to even do it worth a damn.
i literally played cyberpunk on ultra settings with max ray tracing and frame gen at 90-100 fps solid, and you know what? the delay isn't even noticeable with reflex enabled. so wow handicapping a card of its specialty seems such a good idea for a fair analysis

The 4060 is really a laptop part, in that context it’s actually pretty impressive.
People have crazy expectations these days.
10-15 years ago no one expected to run their games at max settings, in fact fine tuning your settings was part of the fun. In reality whilst actually playing a game instead of pixel peeping you will have just as much fun turning down some settings.
I bought a ps5 recently, it costs less than most graphics cards and looks great without having to stare at frame rate counters and obsessing over texture level quality
I can remember the early / mid 80’s (1980’s not 1880’s thankyou 😡) and it was just a case of put your cassette tape in, type “load”, press play, and 365days later you were playing a game. Back then you could only display 3 or 4 colours on screen at a time, if graphics overlapped then blocks would appear. Fast forward to today I am amazed how far we have come. 👍🏻👍🏻
Fair, but at the same time, it's a £329 - 335 card brand new, and at that price point, you'd expect a genuine xx60 class card with decent VRAM at this point in time, not a xx50 class. Why bother with a 4060 at that point when you could save £100 and just pick up a brand new, low profile / low watt card like the 6600 instead? Both are 8GB and going to end up outdated quite quickly at this point anyway, so if you're on a budget, why not stay budget and get better bang for your buck with a 6600, no?
Hell, you could pick up a used 6700XT cheaper, or a 6650XT. I just don't see a point to a 4060.
@@Hybridizm I probably wouldn’t buy it either unless I was doing a tiny Itx build and wanted max performance for size.
I would buy the mobile variant, as it’s well suited to that in terms of how it performs at lower power.
I have a 6600, works well, doubt 4060 would give me a much better experience overall.
People got spoiled by the higher end 1000 series cards and now expect the lowest end card in a generation to perform close to the level of the top end of the previous generation for less than 20% of the price. If a GPU can't run a game on max settings in 4k at 60FPS it's a waste of money, only FPS matters, even if the card is cooking itself and is drawing more than what a decent PC did a few years ago. Like, a 3090Ti can draw 350W or so, my whole PC with a 2060 I had before drew around that.
Literally nothing to indicate AD107 was designed for mobile but sure dude. Make your weird mental gymnastics comparisons.

Most reviwers have done the tests wrong, since the 20 series in which the AI was introduced with the dlss/dlaa which is not a rescaler but a reconstructor, dlss should always be used because nvidia gpu's are not for rasterization, they are not for Native images, on the other hand, are to reconstruct an image from a lower resolution to a higher one (dlss) or from the base resolution using antialiasing (dlaa). This action reduces vram consumption, increases the fps and when the dlss is activated with rt or pt acts as dinoizer which is the noise remover in the image. By deactivating dlss and fg you are using the nvidia gpu as if it were an amd one which is just rasterization or brute force and the rasterization uses more vram that is why it is seen that the 4060 lacks vram because its architecture is made to use dlss and fg and not to do rasterization only. Another thing, the 60 series is for 1080p, 70 1440p, 80 90 4k, if you try higher resolutions without using dlss or fg you will clearly notice sttutering due to the lack of vram because you are not using dlss or fg in that case Nvidia graphics will not give a good performance and this is wrong?. No, their architecture, how they work, was designed to use dlss, dlaa, fg, reflex. if you don't want image reconstructors, frame generators and reflex, don't use nvidia.
I have a 4060 and it does what I need for gaming and other gpu heavy tasks without breaking the bank - so I am quite happy with it. It all about setting real expectations and knowing what you need for your PC
But Sometines it has frame drops
that's what I've been saying, it's the perfect budget nvidia gpu and will definitely last.
