Nvidia just calling the 4050 a 4060 and calling it a day.
You are right. But between having to choose a rx 7600 and a rtx 4060. The rtx 4060 is clearly le most futurproof gpu .( dlss)
6700xt is becoming the best value card.
It already is.
You can get a 12GB RX 6700 XT now for the same price you paid for the Zotac RTX 4060 - I wonder how that stacks up performance wise?
Roughly 15-25% better across 1080p and 1440p. Linus did a video on it.
Picked up an MSI RX6750 XT a few weeks ago for 319.00 from newegg. What a great card at that price. dont think i will entertain anything less the 12 GB of vram when getting any new card.
@@relicstone absolutely. 6700XT is the deal. I bought it a month ago. Beast of a card for 1440p.
@@jaydeepsinghlallrox what about rx 6800 16 gb vram msi trio ,i got it new for 400 best deal ever
Just an update on this, it turns out the memory controller on my R5 3600 was faulty (3 months out of warranty). I upgraded to a 5800X3d and now I don't get those issues anymore. It's interesting that it wasn't effecting the 1660ti though.
Damn... this 4050 is really something else 🤩
That's a laptop GPU...... with 6GB of VRAM.....
@@SSJfraz do i really have to explain the joke?
@@SSJfrazlooks like you have a 4060
The low power consumption makes this attractive for mini ITX builds, aside from that, i don't see much reason to buy this over the other offerings.
I'd wait for 4060ti 16gb for that tho
Still hv single fan and can be cheaper by BlackFriday
Lol, power draw has nothing to do with ITX builds. If you’re referring to form factor, then yes. It isn’t as hard as you think to find a 500-750watt itx PSU.
@@FadeHook23 im still using 550w thermaltake and psu kinda expensive in my country. I might go for this gpu so i can swap right away with my 1660 super. I believe the performance of 4060 is twice than my current gpu with lower power consumption
@@FadeHook23 It matters when you want to limit how much heat is being created within a compact space.
@@georgetek not necessarily, heat and power draw are not mutually exclusive. You can have a small form factor 1080 Ti that at 100% reaches temps of 80 degrees, but a 1650 with a bad cooling shroud reach 90 degrees plus at 75-80% utilization. There are many additional factors to come into play when taking all of this into consideration.
It's an "ok" card if you ignore the previous gen price/performance. If it was 12GB with slightly better memory bandwidth, it would be borderline good.
Only worth thinking about if you're upgrading from a 2060 class (or below).
Even then (for the 2060 and below comment) you might want to avoid this card as there are still plenty of PCI-e Gen 3 setups out there that have legroom but might be chocked up by the 8X lanes (vs 16X standard) as it would drop it back to that gen but still only have 8 lanes of bandwidth. 5800X3D is still a great gaming chip but only has PCI-e Gen 3 available. Same goes for the 4060 Ti.
I'd say, it "might" be a tiny bit interesting if you're/ve:
1) Bought into the NVIDIA software and love the exclusive features.
2) Are building a completely new system
Even with those considerations the 6700 XT looks like the better buy IMO.
@danielcobia7818 5800x3d is definitely PCIE 4. Only reason it would be 3 is if you have an old motherboard
*_Okay, I finally get it, guys. I read the comments flaming him about clickbait and hyping up the most minuscule of updates, but this video is the one where I actually see how bad it really is. The 4060 is a terrible card. It’s another slap in the face to the consumer by the price increase AND decrease in performance. How is there any way someone can recommend this card to anybody??? Is there anything this guy WON’T shill to his viewers??? Holy hell._*
His final thoughts were really confusing. While the 3060 benchmarks higher I saw way more performance in the 4060? He didn't show a single comparison in the video. Probably beause all the other videos show the 2 cards performing about the same.
@@chronossage This is also not the thing that he does regularly. His channel is geared more towards emulation and SBCs etc. So, kindof an extra item that I wouldn't expect him to have the time to benchmark things across multiple video cards.
He also says in his conclusion "it's really up to you" so, not shill language IMO.
Small dual fan cards should count as ITX cards. Considering the fact that you can fit triple slot and triple fan gpus in a lot of main stream itx cases.
One thing I'd like to see you explore over the next few years is using the cheaper GPUs that have framegen support in older systems.
I have a 3090 and I have a rule about graphics cards, I have to wait at least one generation before upgrading so I'll wait for the 50 generation or the AMD equivalent. I used to buy a new card every year but the performance doubled or more back when I did that, now it seems to be incremental increases.
You know eight 4090 was a big jump over 3090 for same price. Other cards in 40 series also saw decent jumps but price increased significantly. Only 4090 imporved in price performance this generation. So if you only buy top end then you should have also purchased the 4090
@@pinakmiku4999 Still, it wasn't a leap from like the Voodoo2 to Voodoo3, I know I'm dating my self here but when you upgraded a GPU back then it was like getting an entirely new computer. It isn't that big of a jump, or it seems like it isn't. My main reason is just money though, if I had the money I'd upgrade with every generation but yeah, I don't have that kind of cash.
@pinakmiku4999 4090 is ridiculously expensive though. Price no concern, yeah it's the most powerful at present.
@@exodous02 I am not from that generation but in my generation in the last decade, the 4090 has been one of the biggest jump over its predecessor. Yes, I agree it is expensive unfortunately. But I was trying to say that, 4090 is the only card among 40 series that makes sense if you care about msrp price to performance and it fits your budget. Otherwise it is better to just buy used or refurbished 30 series and wait for 50 series.
4090 pretty much doubled the performance of the 3090, in fact it's even CPU bound in a lot of games at 4K.
The cat in your gaming rig is look so cool. It will be super helpful if you tell me where did you get this awesome kitty toy.
I was wondering why no emulation tests, especially PS3, Switch.
Hope to see another video on this card.
Great review! Let me throw this at you ... with the 40X cards lower the designation name by one and you have a better idea of the card. For instance, a 4070 TI is really a 4060 TI, A 4070 is a 4060 and the 4060 series is 4050 Ti and 4050 respectively. The bus speed gives it away.
I'd get a 6700xt over this any day of the week.
Yah, another 40 series GPU not worth buying. Simply put, just the next scummy move from Jensen to rip off gamers.
Great review And I am getting the 4060 pc prebuilt which I’m excited about to get in a couple days order it
The main issue with this 4000 series isn't the just price/performance,it's that the introduction of the RTX 4070Ti which takes place right where the
RTX 4070 normally would be,thus making every card down the stack a lower end product with a higher number and price tag. Now,you can say names are just arbitrary,but they aren't if you price the products by their names and not their performance tiers and specs.
this in turn makes the RTX 4060 the RTX 4050,by specs and performance. the RTX 4060 we should've gotten costs 400$ and is the RTX 4060Ti,which in itself is
marketed as the RTX 4070 and goes for 600$. the 4070Ti is what should've been just the regular RTX 4070,and they could've never managed to get away with selling it for the absurd price of 800$,so first they tried calling it the "4080 12GB" but that didn't work out and they ended up changing it,but still fucking us over just the same.
Also,all cards have a crippling amounts of VRAM.
Imagine if Toyota took the 2024 Yaris,up it's price to match the 2023 Corolla,and called it a Corolla although it's the same size
as a Yaris,then change the name of the Corolla to Camry,and price it like a Camry although it's just a Corolla inside and out,then make the real actual Toyota Camry
The "Camry Premium" or something and price it almost twice what it was the previous year. That's the 4070Ti situation.
This is exactly what Nvidia is somehow getting away with and it's mind boggling.
I gave my niece my 3060 12GB card and wanted to upgrade to a 40 series later on. With this (and other) reviews, I’ll be patient and hold off… Nice video (and rig).
If I have to switch from 1060 which one is better? 3060 or 4060?
A video sponsor brought to you by NVIDIOT.
Would the 8x gen4 pcie on the 4060 suffer from bottleneck if installed into the 16x gen3 pcie on my board?
I have a relatively old MSI B350 tomahawk and don't know if I should upgrade it too
Dear ETA Prime, could you make a comparison between the 4060 RTX and the 3060 12GB RTX in Yuzu emulation? It is very possible that the lower end 30 series GPUs are better for emulation than their 40 series counterparts...
Hmm. If anything, an option for an eGPU. Needs to be way cheaper though. You can get a 3060 12gb for around $260USD.
If you have paid attention to the Yuzu developers we find how bad these 4060 series cards really are. I believe the standard 3060 outperformed even the 4060 ti by a significant margin. So if emulation is in your sites might want to avoid this card and the 4060 ti as well. Not sure where the 4070 stands.
Where? Source?
I saw that too! Can't remember the source, Maybe Mr. Sujano's channel. I follow a lot of articles and emulation videos. It's because of the reduced bandwidth (128 down from 256 on the 3060) It's very disappointing and I'd definitely stay away from the 4060 if you enjoy emulation. At least until the developers can somehow compensate for it.
@@DeepSouthTechie Wow that’s interesting that there’s limits on the GPU side for Yuzu. Most emulation is CPU bound and the GPU doesn’t really matter since the Switch/WiiU are so weak graphically.
@@PHOBIAx57xYou’re kidding, my 3070 smokes my 3060 12GB in Wii U emulation.
Someone on here is removing my comments. After responding back to @PHOBIAx57x with an article from Yuzu concerning emulation on the 4060 my comments were removed. I guess someone don't want the truth out there or something. I even tried without a link and it was still removed. Strange thing is it let me leave this and only removed replies I left on @PHOBIAx57x's thread.
yo try comparing the zotac rtx 4060 with your laptop 4060s, I think according to matthew moniz's vid they should be the same performance
I'm actually kind of surprised you didn't try to overclock the thing before even turning it on!
Not bad for the $150 RTX4050 card.. Wait! It costs €330 in Germany and it is called 4060. What a joke. 🤣 I agree with one of the comments that he thought Jay made the worst 4060 card review, but this channel just beat it 😂😂 RTX 3060Ti costs literally the same so does 12gb 6700xt. The only advantage this card has is it will fall in the price quickly pushing down the price for the cards like 6650xt sub €200 and rx6600 like €150 hopefully, and then they'll be really attractive options for 1080p gaming like rx580 used to once be.
I'm not an experienced PC player so someone explain this: What is the significant difference between playing high resolution "low" settings vs. low resolution "high" settings? Sharper image with worse textures, or better textures with blurrier image? How do they not cancel each other out?
Textures make a huge difference. Sharpness can be somewhat subjective, especially if there's good anti-aliasing involved. So for example a game with clean lines (anime, cartoon and such) the lines look fine if upscaled properly, but textures must be set to high otherwise everything looks flat, washed out and empty.
Resolution is for the edges, textures is for the detail of the objects. Like bricks for example. Low res looks a bit blurry but still like bricks. Low textures looks like a red blob.
For examples of what low res textures are like watch a Nintendo 64 game played at 4k. Nice sharp edges but horrible blobs of colors painted over every wall and surface. Then try watching a modern detailed game like Cyberpunk or something and lower the video res to 720, then 480 then 360. Proper upscaling can take that lower res image and blow it back up pretty accurately, so for example watch for a while at 480 then switch to 720.
I hope that makes sense.
Spending 400$ for 8-10% more performance over a 3060 lol
I'm thinking depending on what Radeon puts out in the next few months, we may or may not get a Super refresh. It was Radeon that forced 2060, 2070, and 2080 Super. If 7700XT comes out at say $330 to compete, Nvidia may give us some more power or at least more memory.
I wish the 7700 XT would release at $330. AMD will more likely try to push it for a higher price and after people complaing it may drop to ~$350-400.
@@renoui oh yeah, for sure. Zero chance 7700 XT matches 6700 XT, but it would be awesome if they skip the nonsense and go to a good price from the get go.
Hey, is it worth it if I buy this card for MSRP? I'm using a 1060.
Should i buy this or other having 3 fans???
Hi, beginners in pc gaming here,
Is the 4060 or even the 3060 is enough to handle ultrawide 1440p 21:9 aspect gaming sim racing games mostly like automobilista 2 and 2023 Forza motorsport at least at 60fps (more, would be great) at the highest setting.
Or should I pass and aim higher ?
I'm guessing it wouldn't be easy for those cards. As you saw in this review the 4060 has issues with 1440p sometimes.
3:01 what’s that adorable thing
Can i pair ryzen 5 5500 with rtx 4060?is there any bottleneck issues?
somebody on the internet: " jay posted the worst take on the 4060". Eta: " hold my beer"
That i9 13900k max 25% is overkill for an RTX 4060, what do you recommend instead ? Best budget cpu for it ?
Core i5 13400 in my opinion
Is the noise level of this video card normal?
I don't believe you tested Jedi Survivor properly. You more than likely had FSR on because even on a 4090 it's nearly unplayable without FSR, and you said that you had "dlss turned off" in a game that doesn't even support DLSS it makes me think you didn't give that one a good enough look over before saying that.... imo if one benchmark is off, makes me wonder how much the others are.
To be honest after seeing all the reviews around it's better just to get a 3060 12GB or 3060 TI or a RX6700 10GB or RX6700XT those 4 gpus have a pretty good price depending on the model. usually around 300$ or less plus the 8 GB of vRAM isn't going to last very long in the coming years as we're starting to see in some bigger games even cyberpunk 2077 can use up about 9GB I mean if the 4060 had 10gb then I would say go for but at 8GB it's not worth the money even if the card is more efficient.
4060 is so anemic. A game like Street Fighter 6 you can't play at 4k when you have a 13900 cpu? Horrible!
Really strange test man...
No VRAM usage, no emulation (your channel main thing) and way faster than other tests on CZcams.
Im not sure if he overclock the gpu. Looks misleading. Normally that Card is really go for 1080p instead 1440p.
can i pair it with 10400 core i5 which has I guess pcie 3.0 ?
I just bought a secondhand 3070 for less then what these will cost
Bruh something's not adding up with those Cyberpunk 2077 results...I don't know about any of the other games since I don't play them, but I've played the hell out of CP on different hardware and seen other tests of this GPU and of comparale GPUs, no way you're getting FPS in the 80s-90s at 1440 high without upscaling
Currently got 1660ti, i think this card will be worth an upgrade for me since i only got 550W PSU, so AMD 6K series and 3060ti is not an option 😅.
6700xt will run just fine on that psu
I feel like getting this cause i like zotac + low tdp @115w compared with my 150w 1070sc2
Anyone have a preference for the brand of 6700xt? Should I go sapphire?
Sapphire , XFX and Powercolor ( avoid the fighter model ) are all good
Hey bro how's the temp on it I mean hot spot
The fact my EVGA 12gb RTX 3060 isn't that much far behind the 4060 in every benchmark I've thrown at it, gives me no incentivization to bother with anything in the 4000-series.
Or just buy the rx6700 xt
I would only get this because I don't see many white cards and it will look nice in a case I have in mind
It's tough because I would rather the performance AMD is bringing currently but the low wattage is actually appealing to me for the use case I want to use this card on >.
low wattage and bug free drivers is ultimately appealing
This channel as usual typically provide wrong impression. 4060 is not a big upgrade over 3060. Please check out proper pc channels like Hardware unboxed, Linus tech tips, Gamers nexus etc and decide then.
What's your room temperature??
The only way this card could have appealed over RTX 3060/ Ti was if NVIDIA had something equivalent to AFMF in its DLSS FG solution, i.e frame genaration at driver level instead of depending on game devs to implement it.
Its a total fail, without the cheap tricks is barley faster than a 4 year old 5700XT that you pick up for 120, Its a shoddy product that uses cheap trick to make it look better than it actualy is.
3060 12 GB is more worth it.
Ada Lovelace generation is a downgrade from the previous generation.
I can reliably get the RTX2060 super for $200 used. I think I will keep it for another gen.
eGPU for ROG Ally, possible?
where is the comparison with AMD cards? It was stated on the video title, but I couldn't find anything within the video, plus it doesn't make sense to talk about the value of a product if you don't compare it with the rest of the products in the market
"Sleeping on" something means you were not aware of said thing, not that you don't prefer it.
this gpu is i would say the best for 1080p and kinda 1440p as some games slightly go under that 60fps what gives stutters
I skipped the 40 series of Nvidia graph cards for the Steam deck. 🙂
where'd you get that Lucky Cat?
Depends on the price in your area. With me its around the 3060 price. But to be honest I would just get a 3060 ti. Which this one doesn't beat and the 3060 ti is only a bit more money.
I like the design, and I would go with the TI model with more vram.
The 4060ti 16gb is going to be 499$, its too expensive
@bl4z3Ru223r Yeah, you're right. I looked it up after watching the video and commented. I was looking to buy one. But after seeing the prices, I might as well just buy the 4070 instead. Performance to price, it's better than the 4060ti.
4:12 show vram usage please 😊
Yeah, all the coverage I've seen is very hostile toward this card. The recommendation I've seen everywhere is to get the 6700XT or 6750XT instead. It's the same price or cheaper with the recent price drops and it will match or beat it nearly across the board. The only exception being heavily raytraced titles.
A disapointing video. This card is a 4050 in disquise , not worthy of the '60' lable. A pure cashgrab that should be totally ignored by consumers , or else we are enabling Nvidia's greed to sell less for more and expect a thank you. 2 years later we get much smaller die with 5% more performance , 30% less VRAM and a cut down bus for the same price. thats not how technology works. DO NOT BUY.
I have two cards in front of me: 3060 and 4060. Consider the same price or a difference of 1000 pounds more expensive on 4060 so
I buy a 4060 because its performance is better and because of dlss 3. or buy a 3060 but it has lower performance but it has a higher vram.
Because the topic is confusing, to be honest
The most important thing is that this 4060 runs on a board like the B450 Pro Teuf Gaming and a Ryzen 5 4650G processor, or will it remain in a huge bottleneck crash my experince gaming ?
I guess the whole idea of buying 'cheap' nvidia gpus is using dlss, especially dlss3 with fg...so not using it kinda makes no sense to me.
I wish 4060 had the same memory subsystem as 3060...ie. 192bit bus with 12gigs...
I'm having trouble making sense of the upgrade from a 3060 to a 4060. That sounds like a waste of money from your review. I understand you have a non-Ti variant, but the power increase for this generation sounds almost negligible in the 4060s. I understand people that need max power selling a 3090 or 3080 to get the latest, but I would expect budget minded people to be more frugal. Great channel BTW.
What size of PSU does it require?
02:46
On a brighter note the 2nd hand market is now full of 220$-250$ both 3060 and 3060ti's, I can only hope DLSS 4 is crazy good, because the 4060 seems like a good sub 200$ option for late 2024 already.
Emulators is good or not
Just bought another RX 6600 for a Steam OS build, $179.99
arent that misleading that some games gotton higher fps than other channel benchmark video?
330€ the cheapest in my country, the most cost between 350-370€ .. The most expensive 4060 cost 399€
Why should anyone buy one of these cards for that price. :'D
Damn, my new gaming laptop has the 4060 in it and I'm not liking what the comments here are saying about it! Wish it had the 4070 in it instead but it is what it is. I plan to mostly do free emulation on it anyways since I'm not a modern day gamer.
I purchased an RTX 3050 for $200 off eBay. Working fine for me.
Basically just buy RX6700XT
The only question I have is... Where I can get that cat!!??
Simple, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
you're welcome.
Thx Nvidia
can i get the name of that moving cat figure
Can I know the name of that lucky cat toy please?
Zotac could have pulled off a single slot ssf card with this
The best GPU release from Nvidia to buy the AMD RX 6700XT
Run Crysis?
You need to stop saying the 12 pin connector on 4000 series is "proprietary" it is NOT. It is a part of the ATX 3.0 standard its just at this time Nvidia is the only ones who have chosen to implement it.
AV1 encoding?
It has, like the rest of RTX 4000 lineup, the RX 7000 and Arc as well.
Shud be $199 same as rx7600 imho
Both are not priced good enough
Sure 4060 is 20% - 25% performance increase, but where i live the price is also about 31% more higher 😅 and also it lacks 4gigs of VRam 3060 has😂
Thing is ,the most honest comparison would be rtx 4060( since it uses the xx50 card) vs rtx 3050.
You get 160% raster performance increase
While paying 125% msrp.( 300$ vs 250$)
That being said . If you can get an rtx 4060 for 250 or less. It would be a great price/performance ratio
Im going from a 2060 super to this, im excited 😂
Simply saying keep the 3060 nothing huge difference in between the 3060 and 4060 and the 4060 8gb is abysmal when now modern games (trash cans) require more ram than previous years
Thats a NO for me in Nvdia this generation they practically trolling their customers playing with software tweaks and selling overprice GPUs
They should have called ut the 3060 8gb v2
or 4050...
Buy a used 3080. I did, bought 1 for $400 recently, best purchase of the year.
Or maybe a rx6800 for less and only 5% slower
And has 16gb vram vs 10gb in a 3080
Or maybe a 6800xt for same price but better performance
@@utasnimulhoq6519 no, AMD cards can’t do machine learning and deep learning.
@@jackofnotrade9316 I meant in gaming... I don't use machine learning
Then you are stuck with a 10gb non future proof gpu...unless you went with a 12gb variant...that one is a good deal ngl
Also with future updates even a 6800 will beat 3080 in performance in gaming...don't know about other stuffs
@@utasnimulhoq6519 yea in general nvidia cards are a lot more supported outside of the gaming realm. Most data science and machine learning software are solely tested on nvidia cards.
Also, back to the topic, I think the good strategy now is just get any last gen used graphic cards at a decent price. The 4000s are jack shit. Nvidia purposedly make DLSS 3 exclusive on the 4000s to inflate the performance difference.
Yeah no thanks. For the level of gaming I do? My rx 5700G IGPU is all I really need if my rx 580 dies. I left it out for the first week when I built this rig and It handled everything I normally play with ease. Mind you I have 32 gigs of ram clocked to 4000 and 8gb dedicated to the gpu.
Going from a 3060ti to a 4060 is the stupidest thing someone can do. It's not an upgrade it's literally 10% slower than the 3060ti
Don't buy this card. There are better alternatives or wait for discount.
