The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti GPU is a waste of sand -- it's unbelievable how NVIDIA can't even defeat its own prior namesake GPUs in a meaningful way at the same price. No wonder the company has been pushing DLSS3 so hard -- the lower the resolution they can convince you to run at, the better for this video card. With rumors of an AMD RX 7600 around the corner, and with Intel Arc A750 & A770 GPUs getting stronger with each update, NVIDIA is facing an uphill battle. This review & benchmark compares the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB to the RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 4070, the GTX 1060, Arc GPUs, AMD RX 6700 XT, and AMD RX 6800 XT. We look at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K gaming and the best GPUs for each, plus ray tracing benchmarks, power consumption, and thermals. The 4060 Ti 16GB might not be enough to save it.

Wow GN, way to bully Jay into pulling his positive review video of the RTX 4060 Ti... 😆😉
"Thanks, Steve!"
Can you guys test the GDDR6X 3060ti and see if it outperforms the 4060ti? Because that would be really embarrassing if so
hi, you say a lot of "academic", what academy are you refering to?
Speaking of 2016 wanting its resolution back (1080p) - I've been trying to request that games provide more useful system requirements, e.g. based on 1440p 144hz High Preset RT OFF. This is getting increasingly more needed, perhaps you can encourage them also.
Nvidia will tell you it's because of drivers.
Steve always has that no BS attitude when it comes to bad products. He’s the epitome of the wholesome but cool metalhead stereotype. He’s not mean, but he’s going to call the products exactly what they are. Appreciate the GN team so much
Yep, keeping it real with useless products.

I find it really funny that the 4060Ti review on another channel says "thanks" to nvidia in the title. After watching both videos, I believe GN's video does a much better job of painting the correct picture of the 4060Ti.

The 4070ti was a MASSIVE BESTSELLER, who the fuck ever said the 4070ti was "do not buy"!? Plenty of people bought it.
The 4070ti is actually pretty good in its series. Just nowhere close to the value of ampere cards at MSRP.

It will cost 350 for some reason.

At this point I'm convinced that Nvidia is just trying to see how much they can get away with before it screws them bad enough that they need to release a good product.
... at a fair, pre-Covid price. what's that?... the ship's sailed away?
They really don't care about the gamer market anymore. They just care about AI and data centers now. Their product line up and pricing if proof of that. You can buy their overpriced crap and be happy about it, or they will just sell to enterprise customers who are happy to get the chips. This is the dark ages of gamer GPUs all over again.
@@TTech321 I'm still using an RX 570 with 8 gigs of VRAM from pre COVID times.
>Intel has entered the chat
50 series may be the last consumer GPU they release if they keep going like this. This last year, data center became their leading sales channel, and it's supposed to 10x over the next 7 years.
If that's the case, then I wouldn't expect them to want to devote any of their production capacity away from AI.
NVIDIA is so kind, they created a whole video card to promote AMD’s last gen cards!
Too bad half of nvidia buyers cannot switch due to CUDA and AI monopoly.

NVIDIA: "Gamers aren't buying GPUs anymore!"
Also NVIDIA: *farts out the 4060 Ti*
Im not a bathroom humour type of guy but this one really works. 😅
Mainly because no bugger could buy a card for 2 years due to being out of stock or way way overpriced ;). Try keeping the cards to a realistic price and people will buy (but not this card which according to reviews sucks eggs).
pretty sure it happened when they farted out the 4070 ti.
I mean, I bought a 16gb vram model, but I was also upgrading from a rx 570 lmao
If you’ve been watching financial news, Nvidia is doing great right now as a stock because of AI, and their high end data center cards like the A100 are in extreme demand. My hunch is they’re starting to view PC gamers as less of their core segment and just something they “maintain” for some extra funding while they invest more in their data center cards and that side of their business. Look at how they’re pushing DLSS. AI is clearly their thing.
@@trask9100 Idk, intel processors seem to be doing fine. AMD will definitely overtake Nvidia if this keeps up (the only reason the 4090 was so powerful is because they just slammed that bitch with as much wattage as they could). As for intel cpus, they definitely need to find a better way of getting more out of them, though they did hint of a total redesign of their architecture after the 13900k basically peaked what they architecture could do
@@trask9100 AMD has been plodding along in 2nd place for so long in the GPU and CPU markets that I'm not sure if they'll know what to do once they reach 1st place in both. Either way, with AI being such a huge thing right now and for the foreseeable future, I'm going to guess gamers and other casual PC users are already an afterthought for all 3 companies.
Is it just me who thinks that companies should have their assets seized if they over-earn?
Like if you have 500 employees, and you can afford to pay all their paychecks and keep a lot in reserve and if you still make about the 200fold of that, that this 200fold should be taken away for the public interest and/or distributed to the public?

Not just a horrible improvement over the generation, but it has also been a very long time between said generations.
its 4050 named 4060ti
Can't wait for AMD to completely blow this opportunity.
Underrated comment!
This is the best comment here hahaha 😂
When they do, Steve will say he's kind of disappointed. Not "waste of sand" or a half hour rant. Just kind of disappointed.
It's actually the opposite.
Nvidia is releasing garbage because it knows AMD screwed up with RDNA3 and wont offer much uplift this gen.
So the order is more AMD screwed up -> Nvidia tries to milk the market with garbage products.
Unfortunately, GPU wise, they seem to be completely satisfied with the status quo that Nvidia has set.
That intro was WILD 😂
"Nvidia who was paying influencers to advertise for 8K Gaming back then is now advertising on a 4000 series about gaming on 1080p"
Where are we ?? 😂

its f*cking stupid. 😂
@@hebleh5771 not sure what you watched because he seemed pretty down on the card. pointing out the mem bus and stupid cost of ram etc. only thing he was positive about was the DLSS and AV1.

Would be interesting to see how a PCI-E 3.0 motherboard drags this card down further. I would guess the performance delta vs my 1080ti would be less than a 5% improvement
@@eT6d3dCJ5kBg9rEypHxbxT 3050, 4060, 4060 Ti are 8x lanes only according to Wikipedia. Of all things, this is what nVidia has taken from AMD's book, or so it seems. "great"... I actually don't know if 8x vs 16x is significantly bad like 4x turned out to be...
The bandwidth of the PCI-E 3.0 exceeds this GPUs data rate, so no loss of performance.
@@MikeHammer1 I'm not sure if that is entirely accurate ... I understand this 8 lane card would be using 8 lanes of PCI-E 3.0, not the full 16 lanes of the bus., with a data rate of 7.88 GB/s. Card theoretically has a higher data rate then that. Please let me know if my conclusions are wrong here. I would expect there to at least be a small degradation in performance
@@joelewing4216 There is truth to what you wrote. First, I was aware that Nvidia dropped the number of bits on the memory bus from 256 to 128, but not that they also cut the PCI-E lanes used in half. With only 8GB of VRam some games will run slower on a PCI-E 3.0 system. This has been proven by some RUclipsrs who tested the card on both systems. Most games run on a PCI-E 3.0 system ran with less than a 2% FPS reduction. There were some worst cases that were down almost 10%, but would not likely affect playability as the reduction did not seem to cause any visual stuttering or excessively low frame rates. Nevertheless, shame on Nvidia for making the 4060 Ti actually be such a poor performer. When I recently decided to upgrade from my ancient (10 year old) 1GB ATI graphics card I looked at both the 3060 Ti and 4060 Ti and decided on the 3060 Ti as it was $130 less and would run anything at 1080 and 1440P without issue. Both cards will run 4K, but at reduced quality. As my core i7 4771 intel based system has PCI-E 3.0, I am glad I made that decision. FYI, I bought an Asus TUF 3060 Ti for $320, new. The TUF 4060 Ti model was running $450 at the time. I am happy with my decision. I wanted to buy a new graphics card back in 2020, but I refused to be scalped by prices over MSRP.
@@joelewing4216 Nope, this is COMPLETELY and totally incorrect. PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 has literally NO effect on a 3090 at x16, as tested by gamers nexus and others. At x8, this gpu should be totally under the available bandwidth. Gpus dont ever saturate PCIe 3.0, at least on x16.
I thought this PCI gpu bandwidth rumor stopped being a thing around 2017...
I appreciate that you guys always include FF14 in your benchmarks. As a popular game that runs on an older engine, I think it's important for people to see what they can and can't expect when it comes to performance scaling, particularly in the CPU side of things
Every GPU launch I'm nervously looking at my 1080Ti and keep hoping that it lasts for at least one more generation.
a downclocked might
Shit, i would just get a 30 series card if you need to upgrade, 40 series ain’t worth it
love pascal generation
I must say, i replaced the GTX1080 with RTX4070 and the performance boost is huge. but still expensive imo.
if u have strong cpu and 600-650W psu i would say wait a little and grab 4070 with game bundle like diablo 4 ect.
At 1080ti it can even give you RTX on some titles. 11gb of RAM is a big bonus.
*sweats in GTX1650*
In all honesty, I think it depends on the usage a lot. I play exclusively single player games so I'm happy averaging 50 FPS and 1080p medium is good enough most of the time. If I had a 1080Ti I know I'd be set for at least 2 years with my usage habits.
What's really insane is that they most likely were going to sell it as a 4070 if it wasn't for the 4080 12g downgrade to 4070ti.
I know right? This should be a 50 class card.
What really is insane is the 4080 launching at $500 more than the 3080, that's pure insanity right there.
And this 4070ti should be a 4060TI....
Nothing changed about the lower skus. The only one that changed was the 4080 12gb to a 4070 Ti. 4070 Ti simply wasn't going to exist in any capacity when these were announced. RTX 4070 and anything lower than it were sold as planned spec and name-wise.
@@Bry.89that's pretty logical, but we're talking about nvidia here
Great review Steve, loved the sarcasm throughout 😂
For a gen that started out with so much promise in the massive leap of the 4090, Nvidia sure has out done themselves on the lower end and it's ability to disappoint.
I had a 3060 Ti before I managed to upgrade to a 3080 and I thought that card was really impressive. With a pretty mild overclock, I'd get pretty decent framerate at 1440p on most games. It felt like a good upgrade compared to the previous gen.
The fact that it somehow rivals the 4060 Ti is madness. What the hell are NVIDIA thinking with this new gen of cards? It's ridiculous how bad the 40-series is.
4060 is just really 4050... Invidia obviously shifted the model numbers. 40 series Is not bad, it's just stupidly expensive. They moved the numbers up so people would feel less the increase in price.
Reviewing NVIDIA launches is basically 90% stand-up comedy at this point. Thanks Steve!
Yeah, but this isn't comedy... this is tragic. :))
It would not have been such a big deal if they only did a little cost cut. $320 is a bit of a joke. Maybe sell it for $250.
Too be fair it not just NVIDIA. I think AMD is charging too much too just not as bad. Maybe Moor's law is dead.
@@aserta tragedy and comedy are but two sides of the same coin: Nvidia
people will still buy it.. If people would stop buying this crap and force them to change.. until then there is no hope
Just a reminder that the RTX 2070 Super launched at 499$, and it had a 256 bit bus.
2070 and 2070 SUPER sub 150$ is the best value at the moment.
Inflation exists. And this crushes the 2070 Super.
@@Wobbothe3rd how much are they paying you for the fanboy comments?
@@Wobbothe3rd still has a pathetic bus, doesn't effect gaming performance much, but indicates how they are cutting costs in manufacturing just to increase their own profit margins.

Definitely not a 4K card now since nVidia wants to lock DLSS3
@@flinx "at the time" is such a stupid statement. Obviously older games are not going to take advantage of the newest VRAM sapping technologies like ray tracing. It's incredibly stupid to ignore the passage of time and new game releases to defend a card that should've had more
Seems like the reason why Nvidia is investing so heavily on dlss is so they can charge more money for a card and skimp on the actual hardware to massively increase profits.
who even uses dlss on 1080p tho? they are marketing it for 1080p no one uses dlss at that res cuz it looks hot trash
Exactly, software is higher margin business. They seem desperate to keep their bubble stock price afloat.
@@regardzz Exactly. I love DLSS, it allowed me to play most games at 1440p on my *2060* before i switched to AMD, but it was never designed for 1080p, only Quality really looks ok and that doesn't give nearly enough of a performance upgrade.
yeah as soon as I saw dlss gimmick coming I knew it they don't want to give us raw pure performance uplifts but upscaling gimmick bs this might be another reason why they killed sli because 8k gaming was actually playable on dual cards with at least 24gb of vram in games that supported sli I feel if they decide to bring sli back next generation they will charge even more for the top cards on blackwell.
@@regardzz DLSS indeed looks like shit at 1080p. DLSS is a great alternative to checkerboarding up to 4K imo but using it as a crutch to market this card is embarrassing. It's shady how Nvidia doesn't really market DLAA (which I think is great for 1080p) because then it would be obvious how little improvement to raw power there has been
why 8GB and 16GB.. From Nvidia:
Gamers often wonder why a graphics card has a certain amount of VRAM.
Current-generation GDDR6X and GDDR6 memory is supplied in densities of 8Gb (1GB of data) and 16Gb (2GB of data) per chip. Each memory chip can use either two separate 16-bit channels to connect to a single 32-bit memory controller, or two 8-bit channels, so two memory chips can connect to a single 32-bit memory controller. This allows a 128-bit GPU to support either 4 memory chips or 8 memory chips.
Higher capacity chips cost more to make, so a balance is required to optimize prices.
On our new 128-bit memory bus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs, the 8GB model uses four 16Gb GDDR6 memory chips, and the 16GB model uses eight 16Gb chips. Mixing densities isn’t possible, preventing the creation of a 12GB model, for example. That’s also why the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has an option with more memory (16GB) than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and 4070, which have 192-bit memory interfaces and therefore 12GB of VRAM.
Our 60-class GPUs have been carefully crafted to deliver the optimum combination of performance, price, and power efficiency, which is why we chose a 128-bit memory interface.
In short, higher capacity GPUs of the same bus width always have double the memory.
It's a 4050 Ti, named the 4060 Ti, priced at the level that the 4070 should have been priced at.

In my GeForce Experience driver update today, the first ad panel in the 5-panel ad carousel that displays during the update shows the RTX 4060 Ti with a quote: "MUST HAVE" attributed to -TweakTown. I haven't read the original TweakTown article, but based on Steve's panning of the card here, I can only assume that the original said something like: "Nvidia must have been out of their minds if they thought anyone was going to buy this piece of junk."
I'll buy one. I have a HP s5-1214 Slimline mini-ATX tower from 2018. It only has DirectX 11, a SATA II HDD, USB 2.0 and 802.11n with integrated graphics that can do DVI-d or HDMI at 1080p. It has a Sandy Bridge quad-core processor with 20-lanes of PCI 2.0.
This card, along with a few other updates, makes it functional again.
- I max'd the DDR3 ram to 16GB for $50.
- Max'd the CPU to i7-2600K for $35.
- Added a mini-PCIe card to get two SATA III ports for $15 (limited to 4 Gbps due to PCIe 2.0x1 being 0.5 GB/s).
- Swapped the 750GB SATA II HDD for a 1TB SATA III SSD for $60 (plus $10 for a 3.5" to a dual 2.5" bay adaptor).
- Added an Intel BE200 Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 5.3 ($35) using a M.2 slot combo card that also has a NVMe M.2 Type M slot (over the same PCIe x1 lane) for future use (also limited to 4 Gbps due to PCI 2.0x1 only being 0.5 GB/s) for $29.
- Added a powered USB 3.0 card with 2 Type A and one Type c ports (using with SATA power connector), and a USB 3.0 header for the front panel for $19.
- Replaced the HP 240W Flex ATX power supply for a 500W one with modular cables for $55.
- Added a PCIe x16 riser that provides two M.2 Type M NVMe slots with x4 each, and has a physical PCIe x16 top slot with x8 lanes for $23.
- I've been unable to find a 12-1 pin TPM 2.0 module for the LPC connector on HP/foxconn motherboards from that era, but I'm hoping it will appear in the UEFI after I change the SSD to GPT format and convert the bios from Legacy to UEFI. If not, there are ways around the TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11. ;)
This gives me a casual gaming, Windows 11 compliant, DirectX 12 enabled, Wi-Fi- 7, Bluetooth 5.3, 16GB, NVMe SSD (PCI 2.0x4) system with 500W power and dual Display Ports for 4K video or 1080p gaming... and any connector I need for casual use... for $261... plus the card.
A toss-away computer, became a screaming web surfer for cheap... and this card allows Windows 11 installation along with 4K displays.
The fact that it only uses 160W makes it ideal for mini-ATX builds like mine, and the extra 8 lanes it frees up gives me dual NVMe x4 SSDs each at 2GB/s (vs even the SATA III SSD running at 500Mb/s over the PCIx1 lane). Those lanes are like gold in a PCIe 2.0 motherboard. Not only do you need lanes for data/SSD, but the processors back then only had a few lanes available (my Sandy Bridge processor can handle 20 lanes... 16 in that GPU slot, and 1 lane in each PCI x1 slot and the mini-PCIe slot).
While it's possible to split and use PCIe x16 slots in x8x8 or x8x4x4 set ups, you simply CAN'T combine four x1 lanes back up to a single x4 if you wanted to run NVMe at full speed. Without a x8 lane PCI GPU you'd either have to pick a x16 GPU or keep the integrated graphics and use that slot for say four x4 lanes of NVME.
A real DirectX 12 GPU, with decent performance, dual monitors, and low power consumption is amazing IMO.
If I was to forgo a NVMe x4 SSD and just stick with the SATA III SSD running through the mini-PCIe x1 lane (capped at 0.5Gbps) I "could" use a PCIe x16 GPU... but that also means a lot more cash for the RTX 4070, or an older gen GPU and more cash on a larger PSU, if you can find one in Flex ATX (600W is the largest I can find for this slim-tower design, and they've been out of stock for months, so a 500W will have to do).

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 This made me cackle out loud XD
You'll likely hear it soon again when the regular 4060 launches.
This is because the 4070(Ti) is actually the real 4060Ti. Based on die naming and die size...Nvidia shifted the whole stack down. IN other words...yes, yes they DID increase the price. Because the 4060Ti is actually a $400 4050Ti. And so on and so forth.
Yeah, looking at the power use, this is like a 4055ti, or an over powered 4050ti, as it's just above the power limit of the PCIe connector, and needing a molex power.
Lots of gaslighting in the comments trying to disguise this fact.
That's why you ALWAYS look at price/performance. That way it doesn't matter what die size / product name it carries.
It's just awfully priced like every current gen GPU is.
What's concerning is that if this is supposed to be the 4050 based on die size and name and power draw, then the 4060 is actually some kind of 4040 low profile thing and the inevitable 4050 is - got help us all - actually supposed to be a 4030.
Nah, don't like that. Not one bit.
That would have been fine if they had actually lowered MSRPs proportionally. They should just unlaunch it all like they did with the 4080.

Only on the consumer side because its not as profitable as enterprise.
Competition drives everything. AMD made a comeback on the CPU market, driving competition and thus resulting in massive increases in both core counts and performance at both AMD and Intel. The opposite has happened on the GPU market. AMD has fallen behind, especially when it comes to RT and software features, resulting in complete market dominance by NVIDIA and thus a total lack of improvements apart from a few very expensive halo products such as the 4090.

Kinda tryna understand why the 3070 and 3070 Ti weren't included in any of the benchmarks.
Because they are 8GB cards
What makes this all the more shocking is that the 4060ti has 2,310mhz and 2,535mhz boost clocks. The 3060ti FE is 1,665mhz base clock but averages around 1,900mhz.
Now not to say that "it's not fair cos new card go BRRrrr", as that is the very nature of architecture. To get faster. But this shows that even with the clocks dialed up, the 4060ti can barely escape the 3060ti in raw performace. And here's why:
Nvidia is selling a 4050 as a 4060ti.
4060ti is AD106, it's around 24% of the full GPU die (4350 CUDA cores)
3060ti is GA104, it's 45% of the full GPU die (4864 CUDA cores)
3050 is GA106, it's (you guessed it) 24% of the full GPU die (2560 CUDA cores)
So in summary, Nvidia is selling you a card with LESS CUDA cores than a 3060ti, and it should be a 4050. Likely Nvidia felt jaded by the consumer backlash over the 4070 fiasco, so they just gave the consumers a even worse cut down card in retalliation, in the market sector where people don't want to buy the high end.
Nvidia trying to launch $150 GPUs for $400...its nuts..
I wouldn't say $150, but it sure isn't worth more than $300 in its 16GB variant
this isn't 10 years ago, everything got more expensive, food, vehicles, life.

Nvidia: 1080p is the most common resolution!

Then a 2017 card (GTX 1080Ti) proceeds to make a 2023 "1080p" card as irrelevant.
it's not NVIDIA's doing, it is the fact that games are utilizing much higher levels of graphic fidelity, including ray tracing, than they were back in 2016, while also being blatantly lazy with their PC ports. as a reminder, DOOM Eternal can run on max settings including ray tracing at around 60 FPS on a 3060 Ti. add DLSS into the mix and you're golden. turn of ray tracing or go down to 1440p and you're golden. the fact that modern AAA games can't reach this level is 100% on the devs and the engine they're using, not NVIDIA who is just the messenger.
@@saricubra2867 you'll be paying close to the same price for a 1080 Ti and won't have (good) access to ray tracing or DLSS unless you buy it used, and i'm not sure buying a used card from 6 years ago is a good idea to begin with. that is to speak nothing about their performance levels in comparison.

Why is the 3070 not on the charts? Feels like it would be very close and interesting.
Because 3070 is basically an overclocked 3060 Ti
I've just bought it and I'm happy with it since I only play at 1080p and in games that I wanted to play I have 80-120 fps at max settings. It obviously wouldn't justify an upgrade from 3060 since the difference is minimal but if you're upgrading from a 1050 with 2gb of VRAM the difference is huge. And at least in my country the price difference between 3060 and 4060 was minimal, maybe 40-50$ so when I've seen that it has 15-20% more fps I decided that it's a no brainer for 10% of the price. But I agree that 8gb vram is really not much and it's clearly not a next generation from 3060 outside of features like DLSS and stuff. But I think that for me it was the right choice.
Also 3060 required 550w or even stronger power supply and 4060 required 500W which I have so it was the only option. It's technologically embarrassing but right for me, a bit of an improvement for a modest increase in price.
Same from me. I got a 4060ti to upgrade from a 1060 6 gb. My 1060 was bought in 2018 and needs to be reposted. Good upgrade for me from what I had, powerfully was my limitation too.
We finally have a 144hz at 1080p, we did it! Now we just need a time machine and offer it to gamers 10 years back

Every class card successor has handily beaten its predecessor (3060Ti vs 2060 Super) while the class lower down matches the class above of previous generation (3060 vs 2070). But this one is literally 4060Ti is functionally tied with the 3060Ti (sometimes loses to it). This indicates that the "4060Ti" is really a 4050Ti or 4050. This is insane.
Didnt they do the exact same thing with the 4070 or something, leading to another major flop?
This card is a 60 non-ti series, priced as a 70 series. Nvidia's greed is unbelievable.
@@internetguy1260 Yeah. See guy below you. It's basically a 60 card charged at 80 prices and called a "70 series" despite the fact GTX 780 was $600, 980 was a $550 card, GTX 1070 was $380, 5700XT was still $400 and it was literally Turing that they began jacking prices which they changed to $500 and $700 the 70 and 80 cards. Then they had the fuckin audacity to call it "great value" because they began being astronomical with 2080ti prices so they honest to God in 2020 tried to advertise the $500 3070 as "fantastic value" even though not long before it would've been a $400 card, and we see now how badly made that GPU was with some of us even before release grumbling about how big an impact the VRAM was going to have. I had no earthly idea they would STILL refuse to put 16gb on their cards and keep trying to use 8gb. It's dead on arrival. 8gb is not even good enough to enable raytracing at 1080p ultra. It WILL lag, stutter, and crash at that bad VRAM, like the 3070 did on TLOU with ultra settings or Hogwarts using up all that VRAM and there isn't any real way to "optimize" for it without ruining texture quality. You can't upscale around it either, you wind up with bad looking muddy textures.
So it was already a problem before alleged 4060ti yes, and yeah pricing was already a problem since years ago. They been making consistently worse product and charging ever more prices and it's clear their whole plan all along was to slowly turn water temperature up and hope the frog doesn't hop out the pot too soon. They were going to keep doing this forever until enough gamers finally abandoned the brand entirely. Some type of people will push up on you and they literally will not stop until you throw a punch and set boudnaries. That is why we have police and military in the first place, because some guys like that get to power and the only way to deal with them is hit them in the face and tell them to stop or the beatings continue. Such case is nvidia right now. They realized they could keep increasing price and their customer would still buy it no matter what, so they wondered if they could just rename lesser cards as higher end and keep selling worse hardware for higher prices too and hope nobody noticed or complains. The also tried doing this with the alleged 4080 12gb but outcry was already so bad before launch they basically just renamed it 4070ti.
I dont think this really comes out of nowhere. The 2060 vs 1060 was already almost no progress, if you considered how the former also got a price hike, 2060s were priced like 1070 IIRC. The 3000s GPUs were clearly better, but continued the high prices and had low VRAM compared to AMD offerings. Mind AMD had 12gigs in 6700 and 16 gigs in 6800. Meanwhole 3080 was 10 gigs.
Funny thing is, Nvidia for some reason put 12 gigs in the 3060, which was actually pretty generous for that level of GPU. Tho that card still had lower performance and higher price than AMDs 6600 XT.
Now this 4060 TI is an absolute joke, almost a regression with price increase, but lets not forget this BS started to happen after the 1000 series.
As it has been for whole rtx 4000 series except for rtx 4090. Every card in this generation except that is an upsell by NVIDIA.
The only card to get if you are willing to pay the gigantic price is the 4090, that card kick ass and the rest can just f.off. Only cardi would buy in the low/mid end if i had a very old card is the intel 770, this card gets better for every driver update and they need support so they can develop awesome cards in the future.

I got a 1440p screen and I sorta needed a better a video card yesterday and I wanted some NVIDIA functionalities this round.
After seeing the first leaked tests, I got a 3060ti in the discount bin SO FAST that I can't even tell. After seeing this, I'm super glad that I did it. It might be able to survive with some tweaks until I build a new PC in a couple years. The best thing 4060ti did was slashing the price of 3060ti, an ok entry-level card for 1440p.
(Note: AMD something something seems to have a better cost per frame, but I had a discount. And I play Diablo-style games...).
Smart move. I'd have gone with a 6700 XT personally at that range, but both of those two cards are so comparable in performance that there's almost no difference. Nvidia has fallen off a cliff after getting fat and lazy off of crypto miners for so long. Watch the Intel Arc series become the next top card after this generation if current trends continue.

@Nuril Nuril I enjoyed those quite a lot, myself! I really appreciate that GN did not hold back here. That is, after all, WHY I found this so carhartic: plain statement of facts followed essentially by "NVIDIA, BRUH..."
Im starting to think my GTX 1080 is the last GPU I will buy in this life.
Same for 1080ti. This thing matches or beats a 3060, which isn't a big difference away from a 3060ti/4060ti.
Same...I'm still using my GTX1080 and I hope it doesn't die, at least until the end of the year...
right
Bruh, just buy the mid-tier radeons that will likely come out in a few months
@@manuelsputnik for 1.5-1.7x improvement only?
I have a 2018 EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra with 8GB and play at 1440P. 5 years later, these GPU's still have 8gb??? I'm not upgrading for a while. WIll probably use my card until it dies or I rebuild the entire system but my 9900k cpu still runs just fine.
Thus the reason many gamers were slow to move off their 10-series cards. That was the last gen Nvidia offered exceptional value. AMD cards were slower and cheaper back then, yet Nvidia price and performance was undeniable. Nvidia has a lesser performance lead (in mid to low end cards) than the 10-series era yet offers very little value today even with their last gen cards.
On the real world, this is actually a great card.
DLSS 3.0, New Tensors, AV1, almost half power usage.
4060ti is a good card, only that like always, steve is payed from AMD.
This GPU should have been called the RTX 4050 TI and priced between 250-300$
Nvidia should have done a lot of things.
$300 is pushing already it lol
It's actually more like a 4060 performance wise. Should've had a 192 bit bus with 12gb of VRAM and it wouldve been an absolutely fine 4060
The reason 77% of gamers play at 1080p is because they can’t afford a decent monitor after spending their whole budget on a decent graphics card.
The price of monitors have remained the same for years.
@@btomato47 i bought a new 1080p monitor 8 years ago for 90 euros. I have trouble finding a new one now for less than 100. 8 years mate. 8 years.
Monitors at my work are 1440p and I can assure you that the upgrade is noticeable.
People would upgrade in a heartbeat if it wasn't as expensive for a decade long.
4K is a gimmick. XD
well put
@@btomato47 depends on what you use the monitor for but 1440p is noticeable cleaner than 1080p. 4k not so much. Unless you are a competitive gamer, 1440p @ 60hz is the sweet spot for quality and price
Nvidia just doesn't care much about gamers. They started to not care during the crypto hype and they continue to not care now, because AI is the new thing that brings in money.
I'd rather buy one of those new Intel cards with all their flaws than a Nvidia card. We need more competition.
i think 4060ti, hits most boxes, especially if your looking for an affordable upgrade, im still rocking an amd 6600 8gb 1900mhz pulse, its okay, but ive had it for too long and now its dying on me, 4060TI 16gb fixes the memory spill, while also remaining affordable, but if your buying the 4060TI and expecting it to blow you away and beat the competition then your not looking for 4060ti.
i would call a 4060TI a budget buddy, not a monster card, its unique in its own right to provide "new" pc users with a cheap card to just get into desktop building.
for its price at under £400 compared to like a 3070-3080 at nearly 600-700, its half the price and only underperforms them by 17-25%
and it can run most modern games at reasonable but not breath taking graphics, so thank you nvidia
plus with the cost of living going way up, affordable GPU's are gonna probably be purchased more for first time PC builders, just saying no one at £10.52/hour minimum wage who has to pay nearly £2000 a month to live could realistic afford a £1000 gpu unless they work nearly 50 hours week in overtime XD
The insane thing is that I have a 3060Ti that I use as a 1440p card primarily, and it does pretty well for that! The fact that in so many of their new cards they're "aiming for 1080p" blows my mind. 4k was cutting edge like 8-10 years ago, we should be at the point by now that at the VERY least 4k is common in the mid-range cards, but they're still trying to push 10 freaking 80. insanity.
Despite what the marketing might want customers to think, 4k is not that easy to achieve.
And the other crazy thing is that the 3060ti can handle 1440p just fine, yet some people will look at you like you're crazy because they think it's still 2014 and a 60 series can barely run 1080p
The consoles are using less than 1080p in some games lmao. Instead of using 1440p 60fps as a new default, they are pushing more demanding games that can't even keep 1080p at 60fps.
gotta also take into account that after buying all these overpriced parts, gamers usually dont wanna spend more than like 200 bucks on a monitor which usually results in 1440p max, maybe some cheap crappy 4k monitors
@@GuilhermeGuidugli Issue is more that the card is 400 bucks and has a bunch of bottlenecks that will limit its performance at 1440p. Let alone 4k, and you can forget that GPU for VR anyway.
Its just losing out at higher resolution, kinda like 3060 or AMDs 6600 XT did.
Now remember, this would have been the 70 card, if Nvidia wasnt forced to "unlaunch" the 80 12gig.
oh, the humanity
Woudve had to raise the price even more imagine 😂
From the charts it doesn't seems so since the gulf between the 60ti and 70 is big enough to fit a "Super" or 2 in there, where the original 4070 was meant to be (according to Nvidia. So that means the 60ti was always meant to be *intentionally gimped* at this performance level...
Taking it from shooting themselves in the foot, to drooling down the barrel.
i know nvidia is insane but i honestly doubt that, i think they would have simple not launched a 4070 ti till much later
about 2 weeks ago, I was seriously considering upgrading from a 3060 to a 4060ti, mainly for ai frame gen and dlss 3. Thank you for showing the error of my ways. I think I'll just look into a used 30 series of a higher tier.
why even upgrade from a midrange card of the previous gen?
a 4060 Ti is a graphics card for 1080p gaming TODAY, a 1060 was a graphics card for 1080p gaming in 2016. good luck getting playable 1080p experiences on modern games with a 1060.
personally i still play at 1080p even though i have a 2080ti. i got it for free and don't have money to drop on a high refresh rate 4k monitor that will actually look good lol.
i also find the overclock discussion to be a bit pointless. "you can overclock an older card and get the same level of performance" but you can also overclock the new card and get more performance out of that.
if i were in the market for a new gpu, say mine died or something, this is probably the one i'd get to be completely honest with you. it might not be good for someone who wants an actual upgrade, but i can see it being totally fine for somebody who doesn't already have a gpu that can contend with this one, if not just desirable at this price point.
