NV 4060 / 4060TI reviews

[DAPUNISHER]

May as well just cut to the chase and get a 4090. Quick, before they release a 4090 Ti!

That is probably the quintessential issue with this hobby. You can nickel and dime yourself into buying flagship everything through what seems like sound logic.

The 4090 is a pretty solid card for what you have to pay for it. There's little reason to believe it will stop being useful for a long time. The VRAM is more than sufficient, NVidia isn't goin to be able to get a massive node bump like they did between Ampere and Lovelace, and you have something that doesn't need fake frames or any other gimmicks so who cares if it won't get DLSS 4 or any future updates since by the time it needs any of that FSR will still be there.

When everything else has such terrible value, buying a 4090 is one of the more sound decisions you can make. That's the real sadness in all of this.

I still continue to believe that nVidia could just update to GDDR7 and make a decent performance jump. The 4060 might be the one exception though lol.

Whether it would be enough to move the needle to the point where people start buying is another story.

It's definitely going to age better than the 3090.

But you never know, perhaps Intel is going to pull a rabbit out of a hat and AMD is going to pull their finger out of..., and we'll see fierce competition again.

Even worse, the real frame rate will drop. So when it comes to input lag, they might actually only have an FPS of 30.

The artifacts are also more noticeable at lower frame rates and DLSS is less useful if you aren't turning 80+ FPS into 130 FPS, but are struggling to get to a real 60+ FPS in the first place.

So DLSS 3 is less useful for these lower end cards than for 4070+ cards.

Well this comment, made me look, so thank you for that.

I saw an update on RTX with Portal and I thought I'd give it a try. It's a great little test, because it runs at a little above 30 fps with RTX (1080p mind you).

I made a video out of it (non monetized as always) since this is the best way to show it. I start with 1080p/ultra/rtx/orthodox dlss. The game runs fine, 60fps and all and is quite pretty for what it's showcasing. Then I move to disabling orthodox dlss and the performance drops severely. Then I want to see what dlss3 does and zomfg it sucks. Am I doing something wrong?

Why is nvidia promoting this crap? I mean dlss is great, but this frame gen thingy aint very useable, when performance is really needed. Thank god it had zero impact in my buying decision. Nvidia has so many other good features.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Thank you NVIDIA for your kindness to release a RTX3070 with 16GB Vram three years later at the same MSRP of $499

Though with the RTX 3050's bus

I assume you were frame capped in some way, and that didn't play well with frame gen. (although you were also getting sound artefacts, so maybe FG is just broken in the game)

-Yeah no way that's the standard FG experience, otherwise unless every person out there promoting it is a paid NV spokesman I don't see how the tech would not be getting dragged through the dirt.

That said, it's worth illustrating that framegen is not some silver bullet and shouldn't completely guide a purchasing decisions, maybe just put a little weight on the NV side of the scale.

Will the 4060ti with 8/16GB vram fall somewhere between a 3070/3070ti and 3080 in performance?

Judging by the leaked benchmarks (https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-rad...orce-rtx-4060-ti-3dmark-performance-leaks-out) it's just tiny, tiny bit faster than slightly overclocked RTX 3060 Ti.

For example, RTX 4060 Ti got 6287 in Time Spy Extreme. I just run it and got 6181. That's with G-SYNC, NULL and texture filtering set to high quality.

Ouch, 4060 Ti loses to the 3070 at 1440p and 4k. What a trash card for $400.

Remember you need to do the Graphics score and not overall. Average 3070 does get 6775 in TSE.

What is the difference between a trash card vs good card for $399? Of course It is additional 8gb Vram.

Yes, I was talking about graphics score.

That'll be $499.

 

[Heartbreaker]

Reviews are out. 4060 Ti is hot garbage:

Only about 9% faster than 3060 Ti.

 

[Aapje]

The 4060 Ti reviews are released.

Summary: it sucks.

 

[Timorous]

Brutal.

The 3060 is a better experience than the 4060Ti with the latest version of TLOU at 1080p. It only gets worse at 1440p where the 3060 can manage a 30+ fps experience and the 8GB cards simply cannot.

Sure you can drop down to High settings but why when you don't need to on a cheaper, older card or on the 6700XT which is also cheaper.

Same in Hogwarts.

7600 at $269 is probably only just about okay until the $299 4060 launches in July where it will need a price drop.

At least the 7600 will be faster than the 6600 across the board.

 

[igor_kavinski]

Wow. Why is this turd called a Ti?

Should have called it a 4050 Ti. But then they would need to charge $100 less.

 

[Heartbreaker]

This is one of the worse ever launches from NVidia.

Memory Bus width kills bandwidth too much and the cache can't compensate. The card just collapses at 1440p, essentially only about equal to 3060 Ti.

Plus $400 for 8GB makes no sense.

AMD has a great opportunity to completely DESTROY this card with a 12GB N32.

I wonder how NVidia will address this embarrassment (IMO they will just ignore it).

Agreed.

A $350-400 12GB N32 with 40CUs that clock decently better than N23 can will give you card that could land between 6750XT and 6800 performance. Call it a 7600XT or a 7700 and that would really rock vs the competition. Shame N32 seems to be MIA.

 

[Aapje]

This card performs worst in the games that are most predictive of future games, Hogwarts and The Last of Us, not even being able to match a 3060 Ti.

It will age like fine milk.

 

[Heartbreaker]

Agreed.

AMD probably wanted NVidia to show their hand, now that they have, there is probably a lot of smiling at AMD today.

 

[Aapje]

Selling it as the 4060 for $300 would have been OKish. About 30% uplift over the 3060 for a small price reduction to compensate for the lesser VRAM.

But this is just tragic.

There is indeed so much room for AMD to launch something much more appealing.

 

[blckgrffn]

3.5 stars from Tom's, just like the 6600.

One of the major dings for the 6600? 8GB of VRAM in 2021. lmao.
