4060 is better, you are playing 300 for good Ray tracing, Dlss, good driver updates. Not for 10 to 15 more fps with most of the things broken. Go with RTX 4060.
although this is a little off topic, i'm gonna half to challenge you on the 12400f being the best budget cpu. In my opinion it is the r5 5600 coming in a 119 a microcenter. You can also get a cheap b550 mobo (w/ wifi) for 130 making this a solid budget pairing. keep the great vids tho.
It's been getting a lot of bad comments but I'd say it's pretty good. It's just "overpriced" and "bad quality for its price" but you can get like 500 fps in creative on fortnite
@@SkibidiColt67 Correct, I knew that going in. Despite this, it was great when I needed it for Wii emulation and Salad containers, but I am currently letting my brother use it for his build (he uses it for Minecraft and 4K video) because my own had its power supply die when I took it out.

I have the XTX and any attempt at manual tuning will result in a crash. Also, ACC will crash if i use the in-game frame limiter or Radeon Chill. It could be anything from drivers, bad silicon, my MB to my PSU, but I'll keep investigating
@@JohnnyEMatos That is also very weird, but not unlikely. i can run AMD chill, Tune the performance all sorts of crazy ways wit no issues. The ACC issues might be on the games end and not your end. yeah keep investigating. Rust used to stutter super hard for me until I upgraded my CPU. That's the thing with with PC hardware, it can be a million and one things. Hope you figure it out dude.
I have no idea what these people with AMD crashes are doing. I'm with an rtx 3080 right now but I've had RNA2, Vega, GCN and Polaris....Never had driver issues with AMD
Personal preference But I'd take the 4060 because blender/encoding/dlss/Nvidia drivers/raytracing/lower electric usage and thermals They're 1080p cards When vram becomes a big issue just sell it and get a rtx 50xx gpu
depends, you could be paying the difference of a used 3060ti vs a 4060 plus interest in your power bill. Especially if you live in a country where electricity is 40+ cents/kwh
The vast majority of people with AMD cards aren't going to experience driver issues. It's just that the percentage of people who do is much higher when compared to Nvidia. Some people make too big of a deal of AMD drivers, and admittedly I may have put too much of an emphasis on them in this video. It's just when they happen and your games are crashing it can really suck, especially if youre getting crashes in competitive multiplayer games. I still recommend AMD cards, I think 7 of my last 8 build guides have had AMD cards, because the value is generally super solid.

Great video Matt 💪👍. Great to see these gpus benchmarked with a more mainstream cpu 👍😇.

Instead the 3060 beats the 4060 in some titles because of this. Next thing you are going to tell me is that the 4070 ti is a 1440p card that cost 900$ just because Nvidia said so
Wish you would have shown a step by step build, for a beginner. Your videos are the clearest I’ve seen in showing how to put the build together. Keep up the good work !
4060 is good GPU for 1080p only but price is high this is the Only problem but for gaming this GPU is absolutely beast than 3060 12GB. But 4060 has less Cuda Cores than 3060. But not a problem while you're playing game ! Its totally better but price is too higher
But isn't i5 12400F only support DDR4 RAM max at 3200mhz and not 3600mhz? Because that's why i only sets my ram on 3200mhz and not 3600mhz, kind of waste but it's still working great. CMIIW!
this video made me get the 4060, in the uk the 6700xt cost around 50 bucks more as of right now and in my tight budget i was able to use that 50 bucks extra for my 32gb of ram. also saved money on my psu as i could use a 550 watt for the 4060. its funny because me and my friend built our first pcs and he got an rx 6700xt and a full amd build . hen ended up spending around 160 bucks more than me to get 5 - 10 fps more but i have the upper hand in video editing as my 4060 performs better in it.
Agreed, 4060 is better if it's cheaper than 6700xt as it has way lesser power consumption and we get dlss 3 and frame gen, also add the driver stability. If we ever go past the 8 gb vram mark, we could always reduce the texture settings.
One thing I would change about that build is the motherboard. Those VRMs are hindering the clock speeds on the 12400f. Evident by the benchmarks, under 4ghz when the CPU can boost to 4.4ghz. Have always disliked the B660 DS3h boards for this reason alone.
@@q93p28 at minimum while still including wifi like in the video, I'd go MSI PRO B660M-A Wifi DDR4. In the US, it's just about $10 more than the DS3H and would be worth it.
Nice misinformation, 12400f all core boost is 3994mhz, if you dont know this, shouldnt be talking about vrms. Clearly you dont understand what are you saying. Its a 65w tdp cpu with lower clocks boost, dont need higher cost mobo with this processor.
For me I could find the 4060 at 300 bucks and the 6700 xt at 350$. I mean for 50 dollars less you barely lose any performance and get ray tracing performance.
stop lying nvidiot, amd always been a cheaper one so it's not 350$, more like 300$-330$, and it's an old product, not like 4060 which is newer product and you'll get an early adopter taxes, if you're not living in the us, so it's more expensive than msrp, if you're living in the us, you can get the msrp prices, but in the end , there is no way rx 6700 xt price still 350$ to this day.
amd drivers have been fine idk man also very good builds good job try using ddu then reinstall the drivers and if u overclocked the ram turn them back u shouldnt crash and tbh 4060 ti should be priced around $275-$300
I would still build a rtx 4060 pc because its a small gpu u can build a small pc with it and the power consumption i love the low power draw of rtx 4060 is amazing
So basically the RX 6700 is the $30 price difference better than the 4060, an extra 5 fps for $30 isn't worth it especially for the upsides you get with the 4060.
you have the wrong cpu for the 6700xt, if it was a ryzen 5000 series (i use 5600x), the SAM just eliminates any doubts in my mind that the 6700xt is the winner
Seen this test done between these two cards on both PC Builder with Jason and Gamers Nexus, and the only place the 4060 really shined was with RT on, which is a feature I never use, otherwise the 6700 XT was the clear winner, as 8gbs of VRAM just ain't cutting it on AAA titles on high or ultra settings. In fact, Gamers Nexus showed certain titles beating the 4060 with the 3060 Ti installed. And on a side note, that Intel stock cooler IMO is extremely poor, especially compared to the wraith coolers that come with Ryzen CPUs. There are two coolers you can buy for around $30 that will massively increase temps, and in both of the other video tests I spoke of, after market cooling was used on the i5. So that could have factored into it a bit. But 6700 XT all the way with the extra VRAM. And finally, for me, AMD has always done a good job at fixing bugs in their GPUs with driver updates. Sure it can be a pain because there are so many of them, but on their website they pledge support for the 6000 series cards for years to come. At least that's what they say. My 7900 XT has been keeping pace with my buddies RTX 4080 to great extent, and he paid double what I paid new. Just my two cents.
Absolutely my man. Even Jayztwocents at the time made a vid where in he first minute he said: "TLDR buy the 6700xt over the 4060". I love watching Jason from PC builder too. And when Matt talked about AMDs poor drivers that let me down a bit, this isnt 2019, the drivers (many reviewers say) are on par with Nvidia's.
@@thefilthycasual448 It's just so crazy. Back in 2020-2021, I never installed or recommended to my customers a non Nvidia GPU. However, for the last year, I've never recommended a Nvidia GPU. And I've only installed them under protest. Like I recently had a contract with a local university. They were expanding their computer science department and requested i9 13900s and RTX 4090s, so in that isolated circumstance, I agreed. Especially because I was taking money from a wealthy college and not an individual. But otherwise, I always push my customers from Nvidia. Unless they are not on a budget and say they want the best. Know what I mean?
Glad you mentioned driver issues that Radeon has. Mind you...There are a lot less issues now compared to a few years ago. But still. Games crashing on you is a frustrating thing.

@@Kadeda12th gen i5 performs better than 5600X actually, and B660M is only slightly more expensive than B550M. Ryzen 5600's zen 2 architecture is older than intel's 12th gen architecture, that's why the i5 performs better.

Dude. I really like this build. The bones of it are great for the $. I currently have an HP Omen (8700/32/2080). It's been, and continues to be a great machine. I've decided to try a 4070 Asus Dual in it, to see what it does. I have a feeling, I'll be looking to move up the rest of the system a bit due to the 4070. This would be a solid case, mobo, etc. for such a thing. Good video. Subbed.
Nice job, I prefer more authentic realistic use case scenarios than their peak performance. I have put a 3090 with a 5900x . or 2080ti with a 2600x but either most pre-builts or most people would be more reasonable and put the best with the best or the mid with the mid. Good info
I have this exact build and I am ready to upgrade my 1060 3gb to the 4060 but I have a 600w evga power supply and its rated 80 plus white. Would I be fine keeping this power supply or should I get a different power supply before using the 4060? Thanks for anyone who can help.
I would say amd drivers are mostly alright, specially in direct x games they work very well, but for vulkan and some open gl, yeah some things need to be ironed out, but amd their drivers thats for sure with any new update a issue gets fixed and performance improved.
I agree, it makes more sense to pair a mid-tier gpu with a same-gen mid-tier cpu for benchmarking. A PC builder isn't generally going to pair a RTX 4060 with an 13900k
2nd hand 3070 or 3060ti at that price for an 8gb card. Ideally push for a used 10-12gb card

But isn't i5 12400F only support DDR4 RAM max at 3200mhz and not 3600mhz? Because that's why i only sets my ram on 3200mhz and not 3600mhz, kind of waste but it's still working great. CMIIW!
its *mid*
Great vid Matt. Keep them coming. 👍🏼💪🏻
this video made me get the 4060, in the uk the 6700xt cost around 50 bucks more as of right now and in my tight budget i was able to use that 50 bucks extra for my 32gb of ram. also saved money on my psu as i could use a 550 watt for the 4060. its funny because me and my friend built our first pcs and he got an rx 6700xt and a full amd build . hen ended up spending around 160 bucks more than me to get 5 - 10 fps more but i have the upper hand in video editing as my 4060 performs better in it.
running these gpus can be expensive in the UK so it'll also save you a hell of a lot on your power bill
Agreed, 4060 is better if it's cheaper than 6700xt as it has way lesser power consumption and we get dlss 3 and frame gen, also add the driver stability. If we ever go past the 8 gb vram mark, we could always reduce the texture settings.
One thing I would change about that build is the motherboard. Those VRMs are hindering the clock speeds on the 12400f. Evident by the benchmarks, under 4ghz when the CPU can boost to 4.4ghz.
Have always disliked the B660 DS3h boards for this reason alone.
What mobo would you recommend to get the most out of the 12400f?
@@q93p28 at minimum while still including wifi like in the video, I'd go MSI PRO B660M-A Wifi DDR4. In the US, it's just about $10 more than the DS3H and would be worth it.
@@javakitsune thank you for the reply!
Nice misinformation, 12400f all core boost is 3994mhz, if you dont know this, shouldnt be talking about vrms. Clearly you dont understand what are you saying. Its a 65w tdp cpu with lower clocks boost, dont need higher cost mobo with this processor.
@@renan6509if correct b660 mobo it can be oc to 5.1
The 4060 is a weird card...
For me I could find the 4060 at 300 bucks and the 6700 xt at 350$. I mean for 50 dollars less you barely lose any performance and get ray tracing performance.
Yeah, if u wanna look like an idiot
for me it's 310$ for a 6700 xt
@@Zeroneii3 for only 10 bucks more id go with the 6700 xt. I mean unless you value raytracing and dlss 3.0 *that much*
stop lying nvidiot, amd always been a cheaper one so it's not 350$, more like 300$-330$, and it's an old product, not like 4060 which is newer product and you'll get an early adopter taxes, if you're not living in the us, so it's more expensive than msrp, if you're living in the us, you can get the msrp prices, but in the end , there is no way rx 6700 xt price still 350$ to this day.
I have a 6700xt and it trounces the 4060.
Do not get the 6700 XT for anything other than gaming 4060 is way better for softwares like after effects
6700xt costs $921 in my country and 4060 costs $321
RTX... 4060?!?! Didn't even saw the movie, but I'll answer that.... YES, IT DOES SUCK!
I have never had a crash with my XFX rx 6750 xt ever. I play at 1440p. Come to think of it i have never noticed a crash on any of my AMD cards.
3:03 ram not correctly seated
no it was correct there's a a little gap in between it's just hard to see
@@trisplays8990 You took time to post that???? IT IS NOT SEATED CORRECTLY the clip has not closed
In some tests the memory usage is over 8 gigs, i'm assuming he fixed it after recording that section
price to performance? 4060? intel?
If your aim is 1080p then no it won't suck.
or need some low power draw gpu for old pc..
DLSS has better upscaling quality than FSR anyway so higher res wont suck either
amd drivers have been fine idk man
also very good builds good job
try using ddu then reinstall the drivers and if u overclocked the ram turn them back u shouldnt crash
and tbh 4060 ti should be priced around $275-$300
You can play warzone extreme preset in 1440p 80-120 fps on a rtx 4060 with dlss pretty good! And that's with an i5 11400f
I would still build a rtx 4060 pc because its a small gpu u can build a small pc with it and the power consumption i love the low power draw of rtx 4060 is amazing
Im about to pick up my first ever prebuild pc in a few days with rtx 4060 ryzen 5 5600x combo. Im just happy that i will have my first pc
So basically the RX 6700 is the $30 price difference better than the 4060, an extra 5 fps for $30 isn't worth it especially for the upsides you get with the 4060.
you have the wrong cpu for the 6700xt, if it was a ryzen 5000 series (i use 5600x), the SAM just eliminates any doubts in my mind that the 6700xt is the winner
Built a PC for 400$ with all new parts and an RTX 4060. 750 is WAYY too much if you want a 4060
The card is 300 by itself.
Seen this test done between these two cards on both PC Builder with Jason and Gamers Nexus, and the only place the 4060 really shined was with RT on, which is a feature I never use, otherwise the 6700 XT was the clear winner, as 8gbs of VRAM just ain't cutting it on AAA titles on high or ultra settings. In fact, Gamers Nexus showed certain titles beating the 4060 with the 3060 Ti installed. And on a side note, that Intel stock cooler IMO is extremely poor, especially compared to the wraith coolers that come with Ryzen CPUs. There are two coolers you can buy for around $30 that will massively increase temps, and in both of the other video tests I spoke of, after market cooling was used on the i5. So that could have factored into it a bit. But 6700 XT all the way with the extra VRAM. And finally, for me, AMD has always done a good job at fixing bugs in their GPUs with driver updates. Sure it can be a pain because there are so many of them, but on their website they pledge support for the 6000 series cards for years to come. At least that's what they say. My 7900 XT has been keeping pace with my buddies RTX 4080 to great extent, and he paid double what I paid new. Just my two cents.
Absolutely my man. Even Jayztwocents at the time made a vid where in he first minute he said: "TLDR buy the 6700xt over the 4060".
I love watching Jason from PC builder too.
And when Matt talked about AMDs poor drivers that let me down a bit, this isnt 2019, the drivers (many reviewers say) are on par with Nvidia's.
@@thefilthycasual448 It's just so crazy. Back in 2020-2021, I never installed or recommended to my customers a non Nvidia GPU. However, for the last year, I've never recommended a Nvidia GPU. And I've only installed them under protest. Like I recently had a contract with a local university. They were expanding their computer science department and requested i9 13900s and RTX 4090s, so in that isolated circumstance, I agreed. Especially because I was taking money from a wealthy college and not an individual. But otherwise, I always push my customers from Nvidia. Unless they are not on a budget and say they want the best. Know what I mean?
Glad you mentioned driver issues that Radeon has. Mind you...There are a lot less issues now compared to a few years ago. But still. Games crashing on you is a frustrating thing.
the 7900 XTX was awful when it first released wouldn’t work with VR wouldn’t even be recongnised by games and all around buggy idk why amd are like this at launch
Looks decent and has a 4060 and super low price, exactly what I wanted
my 3070 ti tuff and 19-12000k unlock with raytracing
Is the 4060 good for blender or any 3d animation programs?
if pure rasterization is what your preference and end goal is, why not go amd instead for that, instead of the nvidia 4060
i think currently 12GB Vram should be obvious choice whichever graphic card you are going to buy but in the end it all depends on budget
well, only if 16gb is not available given whatever price/etc requirements there are.
I paired i9 12900k with the asus rtx 4060 oc
Ryzen 5 5600?!
I think it's a better deal here... similar performance for less money on the mother board as well.
@@Kadeda12th gen i5 performs better than 5600X actually, and B660M is only slightly more expensive than B550M. Ryzen 5600's zen 2 architecture is older than intel's 12th gen architecture, that's why the i5 performs better.
Mine comes to a total of 900 bucks how??
A white pc with the 4060 what i tried to make cheap
Specs: (you can change all of these)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz 6-Core
ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW X 74.5 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
(any £100 motherboard that is compatible)
Corsair 16GB DDR4-3200 CL16 (spend a lil more for 3600)

NZXT H5 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CV650 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (change to gold if u want but its way more)
Remember im not a pc builder i just thought that i made a nice white 4060 pc people could go off of and make there own so if these parts arent made for eachother thats why
Awesome review Matt 😊! I think for good measure I'll go for the 6750xt 😋.
WHO IS USING RYZEN9 AND I9’S WITH A 4060 💀💀💀
Reviewers
4060.........TERRIBLE value card!!!!!!!!
Remember the 6700XT released at 480.00 U.S. dollars.
it's 310$ rn though
@@Zeroneii3 Talking about when the gpu was released it was 480.00 then the 4060 will also come down i am guessing to 199.00 in the next year prices are always high at the start then the martek say this is what i am willing to pay though so give it time.
@@stevenanderson3205 very true
Nope. Waste of time, money, and sand.
lower end Nvidia cards are ass
the only good one is maybe the 3060 12gb
4060 is great for buget pc .
Im Swedish and pc parts here are much more expensive. Got a i5 13400f 13th gen cpu, RTX 4060 Ti, 16 gb ram i will upgrade to 32 gb soon, B660-Plus WIFI D4 Tuf Gaming Motherboard, 1TB ssd And all that cost me $1400. a RTX 4060 Ti in sweden is around 400-500 dollars.
hey bro i just have a question i m going to buy rtx 4060 wuth r5 7600 non x with ddr5 32 gb ram and cabinet with 4 fans and 1 air cpu cooler is 550 watt psu enough ?
what’s the fortnite one but not ultra
Thanks for the help with all the builds. Just picked up a used pc with Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ryzen 5700x with a MSI x570 carbon gaming pro wifi, 16gb ddr4 3000 ram, and 1.5tb storage for $500. I added some extra storage, changed the case, and ram for under $200. Very happy with it! Good info to help me in these videos.
If you don't care about looks just save you money from sticking to stock cooler and no case just lay the guts of the pc open like POST test power on supply test model
Dude. I really like this build. The bones of it are great for the $. I currently have an HP Omen (8700/32/2080). It's been, and continues to be a great machine. I've decided to try a 4070 Asus Dual in it, to see what it does. I have a feeling, I'll be looking to move up the rest of the system a bit due to the 4070. This would be a solid case, mobo, etc. for such a thing. Good video. Subbed.
In my country, a similar PC costs about 870 bucks. This 4060 400$, 60$ ssd, cpu 180$...
4060 msi is the same as 4060 asus right???
I just think it might be different because of the different brands showcased in the video
it didint bottleneck?
short answer : nvidia so yes
love the videos
You’re so brave, Matt
Congratulations, you just wasted $750! 🎉🎉
Nice job, I prefer more authentic realistic use case scenarios than their peak performance.
I have put a 3090 with a 5900x . or 2080ti with a 2600x
but either most pre-builts or most people would be more reasonable and put the best with the best or the mid with the mid.
Good info
Your RAM isn't seated correctly @ 3:07 *shocked* 😮😮
I'm running a 6 core i5 9400F with a 3060ti and 16gb ram.
Runs cyberpunk at 60fps in mid-high in UHD

Did your Mech MSI graphics card come with the plastic peel off cover like it did for your RTX 4060? 15:32
Hi, can this case Aura GC2 fits with 3 Fans GPU?
Would a asrock b560m motherboard be compatible with a rtx 4060 ti
What about a ryzen 7 5700x?
Wait 16gb version released before getting any 4060
i want to pair with ryzen 5 3600 it will bottleneck the rtx 4060 ??
And where do you buy the wires from? May I ask? Because I am also planning to build a pc😅
I have this exact build and I am ready to upgrade my 1060 3gb to the 4060 but I have a 600w evga power supply and its rated 80 plus white. Would I be fine keeping this power supply or should I get a different power supply before using the 4060? Thanks for anyone who can help.
You should be fine keeping it. The 1060 3GB is rated at 120 Watts, while the RTX 4060 is rated at 115 Watts.
Has anyone built his $1000 pc from like 8 months ago, if so can you tell me about it
Till now i haven't experienced a crash in 5 years on my vega 8 and rx550.
I would say amd drivers are mostly alright, specially in direct x games they work very well, but for vulkan and some open gl, yeah some things need to be ironed out, but amd their drivers thats for sure with any new update a issue gets fixed and performance improved.
Is it ok if i use ryzen 5 5600x with msi b550m pro?
4060 with my 5700x, works like a charm
Hi
Do you play apex?
@@Uta-t9v no sadly
I agree, it makes more sense to pair a mid-tier gpu with a same-gen mid-tier cpu for benchmarking. A PC builder isn't generally going to pair a RTX 4060 with an 13900k
This way was more useful to me cuz I literally have the same mobo/cpu in one of my rigs...I'll likely never have the top of the line cpu
Great video I’d love to see the difference on a ryzen cpu with SAM enabled for the 6700xt
why use 4060 when you already have a better card
