    I'm not gonna let the PC Bros make me feel shame for upgrading to the geforce RTX 4060 over my old radeon rx 570. It was the highest performance GPU at the cheapest price that was compatible with my Aorus B450 M motherboard. If i went any higher, I would have had to buy brand new everything, so I'm comfortable with my recent purchase. And now i can finally experience ray tracing that I've been hearing about for the longest time!

      Seriously. From watching these videos I'm amazed at how narrow sighted some of these high-end gamers are. Some of them forget that many gamers upgrading from lower tier cards would benefit quite significantly from buying this card. Upgraded from 1660 Super and this was a godsend.

      The 4060 is an excellent choice. It low 115 wattage is great. 1080p machine. On the other hand the 400$ 4060 ti is just awful, all it offers is more speed at the cost of 165 wattage. The 16gb is more worth it at 400$ , but sadly it sits closer to 500$ for the 3fan option. You made great choice.

    I don't agree with people who say what you shouldn't buy such and such card, because it all depends on the consumer's needs. And I'll tell you exactly when you should buy an RTX 4060. Here's a concrete example:
    - I have a friend who wants to upgrade his Geforce 770 graphics card just to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 1080p with the RT ultra and get at least 50-60 fps (and sometimes online games like Chivalry 2 and Smite) and his budget is 280-320€. Here's the question: which graphics card is best suited to this need? Once you've checked all the benchmarks on the Internet, you'll understand that AMD are forgotten, because if you set the RTs to ultra, you get a maximum of 23-30 fps with FSR, and the ONLY solution that meets the need and matches the price is the RTX 4060.

      So true, the 3060ti was equal/slightly faster than the 2080super, the 4060ti is slower than a 3070...
      The 3060ti was about 15% slower then a 3070, the 4060ti is about 33% slower then a 4070...
      The only way this makes sense if the 4060ti is actually a 4050ti and the 4060 a 4050....
      Before anyone comments with DLLS3, the reason it's not on the 30-series is not because the 30-series couldn't support DLSS3 but if Nvidia gave the 30-series the 40-series would look even worse then it already does....

    Very good video, actually analyzes what the card is made for instead of just complaining. Most people say to just stick with a 30 series, but some of us are still rocking older cards (I'm still using a 1070 for god's sake), and most anything would be a good upgrade. Not to mention, were I to upgrade to a newer 30 series card I'd likely need a higher wattage PSU, but the 4060 has such an incredibly low power usage that I would be totally fine with what I have right now, which is an almost $100 that I'd be saving. Lots of people don't factor that in when they consider the price of new parts, the rest of the PC usually has to get upgraded to compensate, but not with this card.

      I am in the same position here, gtx 1070 user. I was unsure what to buy in this price range. I could buy a 3060 ti or a 6700xt but I have a 500W PSU. I’ve been comparing GPU’s for 2 days, even the rtx 3060 entered in the equation, because it has 12GB of memory. Today, I’ve ordered a MSI RTX 4060 Gaming X and I will see what it will offer. Everyone is complaining of RAM, bandwidth but few people have tried the RTX 4060. No major reviews are yet made on the purchasing platforms in my country, so I’ve decided to break the ice. Almost every new GPU is an upgrade from the gtx 1070.

And I assume when I get the card in the mail it's going to be a massive performance increase

    Regular 3060's are somehow still more expensive on the shelf here in Canada. Even the rx7600 is only 20$ cheaper than the 4060 and the 4070 is TWICE the price. Currently running on integrated graphics on a ryzen 7600, the 4060 is likely a card for me. (Had a gtx660, ryzen integrated is actually better lmao)
    It may not run 1440 at max detail great but it'll do fine turning some stuff down. Were people really expecting it to run 4k native max detail 120fps for 300$??? Be realistic people.

    A potential use for the 4060 is if you are trying to squeak by and upgrade an older PC with a weak PSU. I'm upgrading my 2 kids computers that are Dells with 1060 3GB video cards and 460W PSUs. We upgraded one of them to a 3060 Ti, but the 460W PSU couldn't handle it, and we had to upgrade the PSU as well (and of course, being Dell, we had to modify the case to put the new PSU in it). For the other Dell, I want to try to stay with a low power card that won't require a PSU upgrade, and the 4060 should fit the bill.

    When I buy a GPU it needs to run my games at my resolution without gimmicks. If I use DLSS/FSR/XeSS it is because I installed a bunch of mods and created an issue. I do not want fake frames, full stop.
    I do not buy a GPU so that it requires a gimmick to do what it was intended to do. That software is great, I bought a GPU and a GPU is hardware.

    I'm someone that rarely upgrades his PC, plus my machine runs long hours and electricity is at a premium here.
    Hence the RTX 4060 is a solid upgrade from my old second hand GTX 1070.
    Heck to a certain extend a 4060 is already overkill, because i spend most of my gaming hours on games that won't benefit from it anyways.
    PS:
    And yes, i prefer NVidia cards over AMD. Not because they are better or something, but i'm simply used to them. If i was in the market for a higher end card i would most likely pick AMD. It was actually rather close this time, but the 115W TDP the 4060 draws was the number that convinced me to stay with NVidia... for now. The longterm power savings made the difference for me. Shis power efficiency comes at the price of getting slightly less FPS for my money, something i'm willing to accept.

    This card made sense to me for a couple reasons. I'm on an older system. My monitor is 144hz 1080p. My CPU is a Intel 9800k and my power supply is a gold 500 watts. At first I was going to go with the RTX 4070 but then why? I can't game at 1440p unless I buy a new monitor not to mention the 500w power supply would need to be replaced by a 650watt. This of course would make installation more difficult because now I got to worry about cable management on the new PSU. And also my current 1660ti really has never let me down...even with Baldur's Gate 3. But it's limping in Starfield....so the 4060 makes since as a hold over to wait for the time for a new system with a new monitor and/or a new series to release like a rtx 5060. Either way a $2k plus investment so a 4060 is my cheapest option at the moment and will be at least a decent upgrade from a 1660ti.

    Good video man.
    More or less I agree with you, you make perfect sense.
    For me, if I had money, the RTX 4060 would be THE card to buy under two different circumstances.
    a) With its current specifications, including VRAM, it was under 240 euros. As it is now, the cheapest I can find it at here (Greece) is 330 euros. Most places have it for 30+ higher than that.
    b) For its current price, IF it had at least 12GB of VRAM. As it is now it doesn't make much sense.
    The problem with the card (other than the price) is as you mentioned more than once, the VRAM. If the best thing about this card is frame generation and that requires even more VRAM and you can barely use it for 1080p games, what's the freaking point?
    The low power draw is fantastic and I would love to replace my GTX 1660 Super with it, but even if I had the money I don't think I would willingly pay so much money for this card.
    Perhaps if they release a 4060 Super with more Vram....I don't know.

    Our server (for game development) has the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti 6G and we have a choice of a RTX 4060 WINDFORCE OC or a RTX 3060 Ventus 3X OC 12G or a Radeon RX 6750XT 12G or Radeon RX 7600 XT GAMING OC 16GB. All of these are in the 299 to 329 price range. POWER SUPPLY -> 750-Watt, CPU ->AMD R7 3800X, RAM -> 64G so I am pretty sure our Power Supply will easily power any of those video cards

    When an used 2080 can be faster than the 4060 at $240, that means the 4060 needs to be $180. The fact is that thing should be called a 4050ti and not a 4060. nVidia is scalping you while AMD is the me too scalper with the 7600.

    Protip: for people who dont know tech. Every generation until now the new x60 class card was equal to the last generation's x80 class card. Every.Single.Time. So if you want to know what the real x60 class is look at whichever card this generation matches the last gen RTX 3080. When you do that it becomes painfully obvious that the RTX 4070 is actually an RTX 4060 and that the RTX 4060 is actually an RTX 4050 or even an RTX 4040/4030. That is how much of a criminal fraud Nvidia has perpetrated on you as a consumer. They are calling a x60 class card a x70 class and charging 600$ for it instead of 300-350$ it should be selling at. You are being scammed.

    Hello, I have a nagging doubt, I need to replace my old 1060. I'm specifically undecided on these 3 models: Gigabyte 6700XT Eagle at 377€, XFX Speedster QICK319 Radeon RX 6750XT at 379€ (Starfield bundle), MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio 12G (+Starfield) at 427.79€. Which one should I get? With the budget, I wanted to stay under 400€, but I would still get Starfield, just not on day one. The XFX model has a good price, but I'm not familiar with the brand, is it reliable? I've read that the Gigabyte one is quiet, doesn't have coil whine, and doesn't overheat, which is also important to me. Please help.

The 4060 Ti should have had the 12 GB VRAM at $399 but even then, the 128-bit memory bus is a problem. Team green really whiffed on this gen. AMD didn't have too many compelling new options but the 6000 Radeons are still holding up if you don't care about RT or Frame Regen.

Also you’ll miss out on future games that really need 16Gb, but I just bought a Ryzen 5 5600G low budget gaming preassembled rig with 32Gb RAM for less than 500 euro, and bought a GeForce 4060Ti 8Gb separately 😝. For having had no decent rig at all for a very long time, this “upgrade” is worth it… I even had a Creative Labs Audigy Fx added to the Ryzen for a bit better sound. The Ryzen 5 5600G by itself can handle all modern games with its integrated onboard gpu at lower graphical settings, but using my 4060Ti, I’ll be able to play actual games with maxed out visual quality at 1080p, which suits me fine as long as I get all the graphical bells and whistles and special effects, ‘cause I don’t care for 4k and higher, since my real life vision ain’t that sharp anymore anyway lol.

    • @jmgalaxytab2325

      Add to that the fact that I will spend much time in my newly acquired 2nd hand Quest 2 VR headset, which has limited resolution anyway, so for PCVR gaming, streaming from the Ryzen to the Quest 2, leaves me enough frame rate to enjoy all of these games in VR. The conversion to VR has a 50% performance hit, that is to say if the game has 120 fps on a flat screen, it will only give 60 fps in VR… luckily enough, the 4960Ti delivers quite well on frame rate, again: at 1080p there’s no need for more than 8Gb. Those games being reviewed that actually “hogged” all of the vram were using it as cache, so although the benchmarkers thought the card was being pushed to its limits, it was not, it was actually putting the available vram to very good use to keep gameplay really smooth. So I’m extremely happy with the 4960Ti 8Gb… I’ll solder some extra 8Gb onto it when the need arises, lol, probably in about 5 years or so. I guess you could describe this 8Gb card in only one sentence: “8Gb is not suited for 1440p gaming, but at 1080p it rocks!!!” so peeps who want to game at the higher resolutions, stay away from the 8Gb version and go for 12Gb or more… For peeps like me that don’t care about maxing out resolution but still want max effects and visuals… and a taste of Ray & Path Tracing, this is a no brainer! Get that card!!!

After looking at all the 40 series reviews, I have decided to go pretty high specs for everything but the GPU and pick up the 4060, with plans of upgrading to the 50 series (hoping the motherboard will still work with them) when it comes around.

If you're buying a 4060 the least I would expect is plan to play 1080/1440, smart settings instead of full standard ultra presets, and hell why are you buying nVidia in 2023 if you don't want to use DLSS???

      Even if it was $200 I don't think anybody should buy it. Imo if you buy a card, it should last minimum 4 years, but because of vram this card will be unusable, even at 1080p, in like a year, a much better purchase would be a 6700 xt.

    If you were upgrading from an intel onboard GPU on a 10th or 11th generation i5 cpu, what would you get? It is quite a dilema for me when thinking about the wait for the 50s coming out or waiting to see how the 40s with the higher VRAM do when they come out. I want to get my son a new GPU. Based off of what I see in these reviews, I am considering just going with the 3060 that has the 12 gigs of VRAM or even getting the 3060 ti oc 8 gig version. I have even considered the 8 gig versions of the 3070 or 3070 ti price ranges but I don't want to blow my cash on something older when I can get something newer like the 4070. I am torn between saving my money on a buget GPU like the 3060 12 gig or getting something newer and keeping it longer. I am working with a 650w power supply. I have been out of the market for a GPU for so long now. These prices seem to be designed to screw you either way but at least the Crypto mining madness has calmed down enough that I can finally get something. Bad timing for pulling the trigger on a decision though.

      Also facing the same dilemma choosing for a gpu atm and I’m choosing a lot between an rtx 3080 10gb and 4060ti dual oc at 8gb at most.
      Tho it does depends slightly on the usage since if it’s also going to be used for graphic design or editing, the 40 series should benefit you outside of gaming since it does speed up the rendering, I’m just not sure by how much.
      My only reference is that I know someone with a 4090, 15 seconds to render compared to using their i7 cpu that takes 15 minutes. So estimate the 4060 will give you a minute or so rendering time, all this in blender at least.

    It's not a bad card if you have to have CUDA for light work, but if you're just gaming, this isn't the card imo. Could see it for a SFF or ITX build to minimize heat, but that's super specific lol.

    The 4060 is FAR from a good value, but there is one notable exception. Gigabyte recently released a 4060 OC low profile gpu, and from what I've seen, it's arguably the best option for building a relatively powerful small form factor PC. It is definitely not cheap, but it's a lot less expensive than Nvidia's commercial grade low profile cards, and it's considerably more powerful than any of the lower end low profile 4gb GPUs that have been available until now.

    That being said, there is nothing wrong with the 4060, the Ti? yes, it should have 16gb vram for $400, this card would be a good card for ~ $275. It is a little over priced but can be used at 1440p if you do not use presets, med to high with some textures and shadows lowered a bit makes this card perform well unless you are expecting 144hz at 1440p.
    And gpu prices....well this is where we are and its not going to change. Nvidia has more money now and they will wait, and people will give in and buy. This is a good upgrade, as you said for someone rockin a 1060 or 2060.

    I had a 950, but the fan died and it cooked itself. Doesn't take long when the overclock is redlining. Shes fried.
    So, the idea was, I need a card today, I wanted the latest features, and as much VRAM as I could get.
    So that 16 gig 4060ti looked pretty damn good. Expensive- yes, but still a MAJOR upgrade compared to the 950 I was limping. I didn't want AMD's infamous driver issues, and to top it off, it's very~ efficient compared.
    "Yea I get 'x' amount more frames than you"
    Yea, but how much more power you munching?
    I'll just upgrade the system around the 4060ti16, I think it'll be neat to do that. CPU just fast enough to keep the GPU fed, motherboard with a way better PCIe than what I'm rocking now, and to allow snot overclocks. Stick it in a sleeper box.

      @@jaronmarles941 by that measure we can say the RTX 4060 is on par with the Titan X from 2015. Its just stupid.

      @einstien2409 Except you can't because the Titan X actually performs worse, and a lack of RTX features where the 2080 is only missing an honestly irrelevant feature.

    Before buying a 4060. Consider almost every other GPU.

    Is a 4060 for my first pc good? I just got it as it was the cheapest and newest one I could find and now I’m seeing a lot of hate videos. Is it fine for a first pc?

    I have a pre build ASUS ROG computer that had a gtx1660ti in it and I chose the RTX4060 because it was one of few options I could get my hands on without having to also buy a new power supply etc and I’m hitting 100+ fps on starfield with DLSS & frame gen, and that’s with a Ryzen 5 3600x

      Hello my guy i have gtx 1050ti Which is an old graphics card and i am too thinking on upgrading on rtx4060ti 8gb
      Instead of 30series i know there will be bottleneck in the performance but i am confused at the time if it is the right choice
      I have considered upgrading on the cpu too after a year. Your help would be appreciated

    can you make a video of RTX 4060 to show the benchmark of Automatic 1111(stable diffusion) or comfy UI?
