Nvidia Geforce RTX GPU 4060ti

Price and Release Date


The Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti is priced at $399, making it an affordable yet powerful option for gamers and professionals alike. The GPU was released in May 2023, and a model with 16GB of VRAM is expected to be available in July for $499. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, a $299 plain 4060 is also on the horizon.


Specifications


The RTX 4060 Ti boasts impressive specifications that make it a worthwhile upgrade for those currently using older models like the RTX 2060. Here are some key specs:

  • CUDA Cores: 4,352

  • Boost Clock: Up to 2,535 MHz (from a 2,310 MHz base clock)

  • VRAM: 8GB (16GB model coming in July)

  • L2 Cache: 32MB (a significant upgrade from 4MB on previous '60 cards)

The Founder's Edition 4060 Ti features a premium metal case, a bevy of heatsink fins, and dual rear fans. Its dual-slot design makes it ideal for small-form factor systems.


Performance and Reviews


The RTX 4060 Ti is designed to excel at 1080p gaming with ray tracing at high frame rates. It can also handle 1440p decently in less demanding games. However, its 1440p performance is limited with ray tracing.


According to a review by Engadget, the RTX 4060 Ti averaged 86.4 fps in 1080p with ultra ray tracing settings and DLSS 3 enabled when benchmarking Cyberpunk 2077. Without ray tracing, Cyberpunk hit an impressive 158 fps.


In 1440p, Cyberpunk hit a steady 60fps with ultra ray tracing settings and DLSS 3. While the 4060 Ti isn't primarily a 1440p card with ray tracing, it's capable in a pinch.


The GPU also performed well in Halo Infinite, averaging 148 fps in 1080p with maxed-out graphics settings, and a serviceable 83 fps in 1440p.





Final Thoughts


The Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti is a solid choice for gamers who have been holding onto their older GPUs. It offers a significant performance leap, especially for those upgrading from the RTX 2060. However, if you're considering moving to 1440p gaming, you might want to consider the $599 RTX 4070.


The RTX 4060 Ti is a welcome introduction to the world of ray tracing for GTX 1060 owners. It's a solid ray tracing performer that many gamers can actually afford.
