I for one think we should be grateful to. Nvidia for the 4060 TI I mean sure we've. waited over a year for a card that's. only 10 faster in rasterized games and. and were they didn't upgrade the eight. gigs of vram from last gen but at least. they didn't downgrade it like they did. with the memory bus and it's it's just a. hundred dollars more if you want the. other eight gigs. seems totally reasonable when nvidia's. cost is somewhere between 20 and 35. dollars at least you won't have to wait. months for the drivers to get good okay. that last one wasn't sarcasm though. there is legitimately a fair bit to like. about the RTX 4060 TI It supports all of. nvidia's latest Ray tracing and AI. upscaling bells and whistles it's much. more power efficient than the card that. it replaces and it supports av1 encoding. which is a huge deal if you stream to.

YouTube but you also shouldn't pull the. trigger without getting the full story. here there's been a lot of talk lately. about how eight gigs of vram just isn't. enough anymore and I've got some bad. news. it's not FUD at Max settings but only. 1080p resolution The Last of Us remake. gobbles up a whopping 8.9 gigs of video. memory meaning that with an 8 gig card. some of that is going to spill out into. your system memory which significantly. harms performance or even worse if you. have an older system and not even that. old just one that doesn't support. resizable bar there is no overflow you. simply will need to turn down your. graphical settings and this isn't an. isolated problem we didn't test Jedi. Survivor for our suite today but that's. another recent game that is reportedly. using up to 10 gigs of vram at 1080p.

Epic settings. yikes. but Linus you might say I don't need. epic or ultra settings they don't even. look that much better and you're right. we've even got an entire video about why. it's kind of pointless to turn the. slider all the way to the max but here's. the thing even if trying to fully future. proof is foolish I'm not talking about. some hypothetical future need here if. your card isn't equipped for Ultra today. how do you think it's gonna fare in two. or three years when Ultra is the new. medium not good you know it is good. though our new stick locks joystick. covers who needs your sticks getting. knocked around when your console your. controller is in your bag check them out. at lttstore.com. with that out of the way if we look. purely at today's performance compared. to the rest of nvidia's lineup the 46.

DTI looks like a pretty decent buy it. costs 40 percent less than the RTX 4070. while being only about 20 slower except. in The Last of Us probably because of. that vram issue with that said that. might be more to do with how bad the. 4070 is if we add some inconvenient. truths to our numbers here the picture. gets a little less Rosy AMD has made. some very aggressive price cuts to their. last gen and the 6700 XT performs nearly. as well sometimes even beating the 4060. TI all while costing about 50 less and. while including 12 gigabytes of vram. without a hundred dollar up charge so if. all you care about is Pure rasterized. Performance per dollar you should. probably be making the switch to team. red. that being said there is an efficiency. story here that we're going to get into. later first I want to talk about higher.

Resolution gaming because even if Nvidia. isn't talking about it because only Ray. tracing exists for them now this is a. very solid 1440p rasterized gaming card. most games had one percent lows that. were either close to or above 60 FPS at. ultra settings with Ray tracing and dlss. off meaning that on a 60hz monitor you. can expect a consistently smooth gaming. experience want even more frames hey. just enable dlss or turn down your. settings to a more modest preset and. you're Off to the Races 1440p is just. such a great middle ground it offers a. much Sharper Image compared to 1080p. assuming the same screen size but. without the same Major Performance hit. that comes with 4K and it also comes. with this message from our sponsor. pulseway managing it systems can be a. pain but with pulse waves remote. monitoring and management software it's.

Forza Horizon 5 with even Ray tracing. staying playable to as low as 11 FPS in. cranked out cyberpunk. games though who needs them right. blender loves Nvidia and if we only look. at this productivity Benchmark the 4060. TI slots in exactly where you'd expect. we take a closer look at say DaVinci. Resolve with av1 h.264 and h.265 well. now we're losing to not only several AMD. cards but sometimes Intel's Arc a770 and.

This one Hurts the Most even the 3060 TI. and the worst part is this isn't. isolated digging into our spec view perf. benchmarks the 6700 XT and the 3060 TI. often come out ahead or basically on par. with nvidia's new hotness but why. okay while I often say that the specs. for a GPU don't matter what matters is. the performance sometimes the. performance makes no sense and we've got. to dig into the specs to find out why. the 4060 TI is based on an 8106 die that. boosts up to 2.5 gigahertz with 4352. Cuda cores 136 4th gen tensor cores and. 34 3rd gen Ray tracing course all of. which sounds sufficiently next gen what. doesn't is that the eight gigs of vram. that we've talked about so much already. is on a 128bit bus compared to the 3060. TI which had double that that is a major. cost cutting measure that seems to have.

Significantly harmed the 4060 TI in. memory intensive applications for. context guys back in the 600 series days. you had to go all the way down to the. 650 TI which cost 150 dollars to find. such a budget conscious memory interface. but to nvidia's credit cheap bastards. that they are you can't ignore how well. it kept up the majority of the time and. according to Nvidia this is largely. thanks to the 4060 TI's massively. upgraded cash they claim and our numbers. do bear this out that it improves. performance reduces latency and. increases power efficiency so yeah a. narrow bus does limit data transfer. speeds to vram and in a perfect world we. wouldn't have to give that up but the. more we can store in the cash instead of. vram the better now I'm not a GPU. architect so I can't say this for. certain but it seems like this tradeoff.

Might be contributing to better. performance in hybrid applications like. gaming while also taking advantage of. the 4060 TI's Ray tracing course and its. AI engine I mean looking at performance. in games with Ray tracing it's clear. that this isn't some feature that's. tacked on now it's actually usable and. unless you have six hundred dollars to. blow on a 4070 this is the best nextgen. gaming experience on the Block and the. same goes for when we turn on dlss AI. upscaling which in general turns. playable into smooth and smooth into. smooth leader you isn't perfect there. are still some visual anomalies from. time to time and we did find outliers. where performance did not improve for. example using dlss3 and returnal. resulted in a degraded experience. whether we had frame generation enabled. or not so super bizarre but it has.

Improved to the point where some games. not only look the same and perform. better but will even look better with. dlss it's definitely a nice to have. and what makes it even better is that. the 4060 TI draws significantly less. power than its predecessor sometimes. staying within 140 Watts depending on. the gamer workload that is really. impressive and could even be the. difference between needing to upgrade. your power supply or not needing to. upgrade your power supply this part's. anecdotal we're still waiting on our. Sound Chamber but in terms of Acoustics. while gaming it's no louder than really. any other card which is good I guess. considering that it only reaches 66. degrees on average during our f122 loop. with a Max temp of 79 on The Hot Spot. we're going to have way more concrete. testing on GPU noise and thermals down.

The line so make sure you stay tuned for. more Labs updates. so then at four hundred dollars is it a. good product at a good price. let me put it this way when Nvidia CEO. Jensen told all of his Pascal gamer. friends that it's safe to upgrade now it. wasn't 3060s and 3060 TI's might as well. have been made of unobtainium but now. honestly yeah I agree the only question. is whether it's safe to upgrade to. Nvidia the 40 series is already a mixed. bag and now the 4060 family looks like. it's going to be similarly all over the. map at 300 the nonti version could make. sense but then if these specs are. anything to go by you're going to be. leaving a lot of performance on the. table then at 400 we've got good. performance but do you really want to. hamstring yourself with only eight gigs. of RAM and then 500 I mean gee that's an.

Awful lot of money to spend on an. entryclass Cheapo 128 bit GPU that's. masquerading as a performance to your. card it seems like Nvidia has just. completely decoupled their manufacturing. costs from their retail price here look. no further and the 100 up charge for 20. bucks of memory so if I was a cynic. and I am I would say that the pricing. structure here is just a way of. manufacturing fomo so that you'll upsell. yourself to spend more than maybe you. should thankfully though we do still. have some competition in the space. power consumption Ray tracing and dlss. aren't major concerns for you the 6700. XT from AMD is a compelling option with. more rumored to be coming and this one. was a big shocker Arc actually put up a. pretty decent fight today especially if. you consider the 350 price and. especially if you consider our sponsor.
