it's about the naming and or pricing at MSRP. The card itself is good and is cheaper than a 7700 XT now in Europe. The rasterized performance is also a bit worse, but the DLSS features and power efficiency make it better imo.
I agree it’s pretty good but maybe a little bit boring as someone who tests a lot of cards, great feature set though and I actually think the 16 GB is a boon for the card.
Managed to pick one of these up on eBay for £300 to pair with my 4k tv. Honestly, running games at 1440p seems to look more than good enough for me, so I’ve just been doing that in a lot of games, just to make sure I get a solid 60fps.
I didn't buy this GPU for gaming, DLSS or whatever. I bought it for use with AI related projects, and for that it works well (more so VRAM). Absolutely no regrets buying this GPU, and I've considered buying another one (for a separate PC, but I'm also considering a 3090).
I have an NVIDIA RTX 4060 TI with 16GB of VRAM, 32GB of RAM, and an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X processor. I have to tell you, I have almost all modern games and I don't experience any latency issues. And my motto is: Your money is for you to buy, mine is for me to buy, your GPU is for you to play, whereas mine is for me to play. My budget is not yours, which is why I have a 4060 TI with 16GB. Additionally, I seek power efficiency because we have two gaming PCs at home and I'm the one who pays the electricity bill. I chose this GPU because I like it, and I also like the MSI brand. I bought it new, and as the Dominican gamer saying goes: He who dies for his GPU, death tastes like glory.
The graphics card is trash. But people who have no idea will think 16GB is better than 12GB like the 4070. They won't understand that it only has a 128-bit bus. Basically, laypeople are being scammed. Even the 3070 with 8GB is better than the 4060ti with 16GB. The people who buy something like that are also more likely to buy 32GB of RAM instead of fast 16GB of RAM. I see it so often how laypeople buy ready-made PCs with big specifications without understanding that they don't add any value to the setup. You just have to look at the comments, people don't understand why the 16GB version is much worse than the 4070.
worst value? yeah but the fact the memory pool is so large dispite it being at a 128 bit bandwith ,means that the 0.01% lows are great and the performances are consistant the rtx 4060 should have come with 12gb vram instead of 8 , that being said, it(s also the work of the developers to actually use the software features of a gpu, because the only reason 8gb 128 bit buss gpus are problematic is also from the fact that no developer actually coded " sampler feedback streaming " in short, sfs drastically reduce the bandwith eaten by the texture streaming ,thus allowing data to go through that bandwith ,meaning that 8gb 128 bit vram wouldn't be an issue anymore whenit comes to raytracing and frame generation + the fact that the 0.01% lows would be more consistant ,like the 4060 ti 16 gb version
I refuse to pay for the overprice GPU during the Bitcoin era. So, I went hunting for another GPU early this year. Ended up with the 4060 TI used. RTX 4060 TI 16GB is great GPU in the used market. My previous GPU was a new RX 5700 and I paid around 330.00 for it and the used 4060 TI was around the same price.I use it for AI generation and casual gaming. The RX 5700 was able to render 1 image at 5 minutes, while the 4060 TI was able to do in in a minute or less. The 4060 TI consume very little power. However, I did upgrade my PSU to 750W, thinking I would get the 4070 and that did not turn out to be the case.
The problem with the 4060ti is there is virtually no performance gain over the 3060ti and the 4070 trounces it most of the time. The 3060ti was a BIG upgrade over the 2060, it had around 2080 Super performance and it was only around 10% behind the 3070. Had the 4060ti had 3080 performance then it would have been a smash hit. Stagnant performance is rarely rewarded in the pc part world.
Everything is expensive but this card is great for power consumption to performance. I run 1440 high settings and uses 13gb ram. It's about perfect for low power gaming. 8gb is definitely not enough ram
I know I'm months late to the thread but I recently got my 4060 Ti 16 GB and it's running a game like Cyberpunk 2077 around the 60 FPS mark and even higher (outside of Dogtown... it's quite demanding) with Balanced DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation at 1080p which is my preferred resolution Mind you, I previously had the 3050 8 GB which needlessly to say is trash for games without RT requirements such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint, in this game I struggled having stable performance in Golem Island and after upgrading I felt major boost in frames So, with this in mind... I think it's a great choice for those who can't afford the 4070 or higher That's my take on the card, it's not terrible in terms of performance but it is in terms of pricing which I agree it could've been cheaper Also great video
You should have bought an AMD 6750XT $320 new or $230 used and saved $100-$220 and get same fps. You also could have spent the $450 on a much, much, more powerful AMD RX 7800XT or the 20% faster $380 RX 7700XT. Why are people way overpaying for this GPU when so many crazy better options exist. At least bump up to the 4070, its so worth the price over the 4050Ti pretending to be a 4060Ti, its literally the 4050 die number on the core chip.
@@bodasactraI spent about 420 USD (AFTER currency conversion because I'm not in the US) which is basically 20 dollars more than the 8 GB model which I avoided at all cost because 8 is not enough Edit: I couldn't afford the 4070 where I live, so the 4060 Ti 16 GB was the only available option for me and I'm happy with my purchase which matter the most to me 😊 Also, I'm not s fan of AMD cards
@@yourstrulybilly940 Nothing you have posted here changes the fact there are about 9 better options combined from both companies you could have purchased for much less money for the same performance or near same money for way better performance. Unless all 9 were unavailable you screwed yourself. There is no way around it and that is why most reputable tech channels came out so strong not to buy it. Many get caught up in the brand name "Nvidia" and the previous performance of certain model numbers. The 4060Ti had a certain expectation and many people trusted in that alone when they purchased a 4050 with a 4060 name plate on it. A tremendous scam I will never forgive.
@@bodasactra seems like you're trying to force your preference which isn't working on me buddy, and I don't have to repeat myself when I say: - I am not a fan of AMD GPUs - I cannot afford the 4070 or higher, my PC already cost me a lot of money where I live because prices are way higher than you expect So go kick rocks or touch grade if you feel butthurt about my own decisions ;)
@@yourstrulybilly940 I am just using basic price to performance data. A 7800XT is equal in price to a 4060Ti 16GB but it slightly faster than a 4070. Why not buy the 7800XT? It would be silly not to because you dislike the name on the side and it proves my point about wasting a ton of money just for a brand name. The 6750XT is over $100 less and performs exactly the same. the 2080Ti is faster and cheaper if you must have Nvidia. There is no way to justify buying a 4060 of any kind, its a 4050 scam line up and the experts agree on that. Sorry, you seem to take these facts personal but its not my intention. Happens to the best of us at least once.
The 4060Ti 16GB is equal, slower, or crushed, by these cheaper GPUs: AMD: 6700XT, 6750XT, 6800, 6800XT, 7700XT, 7800XT. Nvidia: 2080Ti, 3060Ti, 3070. Some are over $100 less, others same price but outclass it as much as two levels. A super scam GPU.
You don't understand how VRAM works. Of course more memory is reserved. Horizon has tests that show that with identical settings 4GB more is reserved if it is available. But that doesn't affect the actual performance.
Maybe I misspoke and said reserved instead of actually being used. Either way, it doesn’t matter what is reserved, the performance difference between the 8GB and 16GB models is only seen when the 8GB model exceeds its VRAM. I’m not sure what I don’t understand lol
@@PuffinTechYT If you had a graphics card with more memory than 16GB, more VRAM would be reserved than necessary for the same settings. The 4060 ti runs on a 128-bit bus. You only have 4 memory chips with 4GB each. The 3070 with 8GB VRAM 256-bit bus with 8 memory chips has better performance in WQHD. Basically, the 4060 ti is more like a 4050, but people who think more VRAM creates better performance don't understand how a graphics card works and why the 16GB version doesn't create any added value in gaming. I seriously hope that people don't buy the graphics card because it's actually a scam.
See I don’t have a 4k monitor and I’m happy with 1080p / 1440p so running with this graphics card is perfect for me, its the cheapest of the 40 series, built for 1080p and DLSS of which I don’t mind, and I can have a smooth next gen experience, I’m pretty sure the card is advertised for 1080p as well, its not built for 4k displays…
A three year old $330 AMD 6750XT matches it exactly in raster. For the same money you can get a 30% faster 7800XT that absolutely exposes the 4060Ti as out of its price class by a country mile. Its slower than all these cheaper cards: 2080Ti, 3070, RX6800, RX6800XT, RX 7700XT.
If you’re happy with graphics settings and performance in the games that you play, then no it’s not worth it. There are some cases where the 16GB makes a difference, but for the most part they’re edge cases and may not apply to you.
in my opinion the 8 GB card was planned out during the crypto currency issues, and they took some notes from the rx-6500xt being available through the chaos. there was no way to know when the demands would drop, so they probably decided to release the card anyway, and the 16 GB was a last-minute attempt to give appease some of the people who pushed hard against 8 GB cards.
Yeah I think that’s a reasonable take on the situation. The this generation was always going to have some weirdness after all the insanity of the previous gen
If you're using a CPU that would bottleneck a 4070, but still want more than 8gb of VRAM, then this might a good choice. A 4070 isn't going to run any faster, if it is badly bottlenecked by the CPU. It's just $100 wasted, if you can't fully utilize it.
I had to pick up this 16GB version last Black Friday due to an irresistible flash deal on a premium model for the same price as a basic 8GB version. I just don't know if I'll still stick with 1080p or buy a 1440p monitor.
In my opinion, hold off on spoiling yourself with higher res displays for as long as you can. If you currently think 1080p looks good, then stick with that and crank eye candy settings! Once you go 1440p or higher it’s hard to go back 😁
@@PuffinTechYT I already tried Nvidia's DLDSR, which renders the game at a high resolution and downscales from 1440p to the monitor's 1080p and I found it much cleaner and sharper, but I soon stopped so as not to risk getting used to it haha. If it were you, would you buy a 1440p monitor with this card right away? Remembering that I only play single player games locked at 60 fps.
@@PuffinTechYT I don't expect to spend so much on a premium model, a 27'' 1440p monitor with a maximum of 100hz is more than enough in my case I believe, and I like locking at 60fps as I already find it an acceptable and comfortable rate, mainly due to forcing less the hardware, consuming and heating up less CPU and video card and there is also the bonus of the coolers running with less noise, in my case there are only advantages to locking since I don't play competitive games. In my opinion I see an exaggerated fetish for refresh rates above 100~120Hz out there.
Right on, I can see your point of view on all that. A lot of times locking in your frame rate will also give a very consistent experience as far as frametimes too. I think a 1440p would be a logical next step for your hardware, and if you’re looking at more budget displays I’d say check out AOC and Gigabyte, they have some great bang for buck as far as 1440p monitors go.
This is a communication failure on the side of NVIDIA, Now I understand why this card exists, and why 3070 16gb is 200 usd more expensive. This is because of this DLSS and Frame generations.
12 gigs should be the minimum for the next 60 sku cards, 16 for 70s and 20+ for 80s, if the rtx 5000 series sticks with 8 gigs for the 5060, 12 for 70 and 16 for 80 ill be disappointed
U don't need 16gb variant for this performance 🤦♂️ Having 8 GB of RAM will give you the same performance as having 16 GB. The latter is not designed for gaming.
If you exceed 8GB of vram then it can affect performance, that’s the point of testing higher resolutions, RT, and frame gen. All of which add to vram usage.
@@PuffinTechYT Yes, dude, you are right. It is smart to buy this card if your goal is 1080p because there are not many VRAM-hungry games for 1080p, so even The Last of Us used to have issues but now it's good after some patches. If a person is truly considering getting 16GB, they should go for the 4070 instead. It only costs a few more bucks, and in terms of performance, you and I both know that it's better than the 4060ti 16GB in every aspect.
My video doesn’t just cover 1080p, I was exploring the gaming capabilities of this card beyond the typical use case in this particular game. If a person is considering 16GB of vram I wouldn’t recommend the 4070 either because it only has 12, otherwise I agree with you on all points. 🤠
@@PuffinTechYTI only dislike it when people compare prices. We all know that the 4060ti with 16GB is more expensive than the 8GB variant, but in terms of fps, it's the same as the 4060ti. However, in the comments section, some foolish AMD fans start comparing its price to other AMD GPUs. That's why I said that the 16GB isn't meant for gaming purposes. I understand that you did a proper benchmark, and my only problem is with these misunderstood individuals.
@itachi7976 Right, both 4060Ti's have the same core, it's effectively the same thing for a realistic gaming situation. Probably Nvidia's marketing puts fuel on the fire for AMD fans because you see an RX 6800 next to a 4060Ti and say wtf, but they're really for people who have different use cases like you said. Also, despite my clickbait-y title I actually like the 4060Ti 16GB because it’s just a weirdo card and it’s fun to mess around with. I want to make a video about using integer scaling to upscale 720p gameplay with maxed out RT and PT and it’s sort of the perfect card for it.
2:32 this card doesn't make any sense then. This should not have RTX at the beginning because if Cyberpunk is the new benchmark for games like GTAV was, why was this, a Ti a 16GB version can not give you 60fps in RAYTRACING at 1080p natively!!!
ultra settings in this game makes no sence because psycho ssr is as expensive as rt reflections. turn ssr down to high and ambient occlusion to low it gains you a lot of fps withou any visual difference
The 4060 ti with 16 GB makes no sense, because it is significantly more expensive and has a weaker chip for 2K. For 2K, the 4070 Super is now best suited, which already gives 60+ frames and a surprise much more confidently... she has 12 GB, just the right amount. You just need to understand that the 4060 ti 8GB is a card strictly for 1080p, but in 1080p it supports ANY game well with any setting up to the tracing of the path.
I certainly don’t think the price makes sense for the 16GB model, but as I showed in this video I don’t think the idea of it is completely wrong and overall I think it was an experiment by Nvidia to judge how the market would tolerate a completely DLSS reliant card
@@PuffinTechYT Tests in 1080p prove that the 4060 at 8gig works well, and tests in 2K prove that in addition to lack of memory, the chip itself is weak. The rest is fantasies about what could have been if ... I've read a lot of reviews from the real owners of the 4060/4060ti. Not those who, having 4090 or 7900xtx, wrinkle their nose at DLSS+FG. Well, these inexperienced people really praise the 4060/4060ti. Yes, I myself tested the 4060ti at 8 gig in 1080p, and everything worked well.
I run this card and it consumes 13-14gb but runs great on way less power than the bigger card. 12gh isn't enough ram these days. Especially for that price.
@@mmosquini And then how does it turn out that the 4070 with 12 GB produces much more frames? No problem, if you need more memory and you think Nvidia is expensive for your money, why didn't you buy a 7600xt or 7700/7800?
@@Aleksey-vd9oc I said everything is expensive not just one thing. I would be interested to see the latency graphic of the 4070 running at max ram vs a 4060 with a few gigs to spare. When cards max out ram things get a little laggy.
Im considering this card over a 6700xt since i only have a 500w psu, but i think it might just be better to wait for either 4060 super series or 5000 series
@@PuffinTechYT Because nearly the entire 20 series got a super refresh, I do think there probably will be a regular 4060 super with 16gb of vram, but im not sure of a 4060 ti super with how negatively that card was received. The cards themselves aren't bad though, if Nvidia priced them 10-20% cheaper there would be no need for a super refresh.
16gb of vram is great is do some AI generation, nvidia have cuba, so cheap card with cuda is great too, 4060 ti 16gb is not the best if u only do videogames but it nice if u do more than videogames in ur pc
I think the internal resolution is just too low and looks too bad even at 4k, but it would still be interesting to see so I may do that in the future 😁
@@PuffinTechYT sorry if the question seems uneducated, I’m playing on a 4k tv and don’t know how to get it to play at 1080p with it looking pixelated to absolute hell, and dls performance from my understanding renders it to “1080p”.
Not an uneducated question at all :D 4k with performance DLSS is running at 1080 internal. If you can, you want to use some form of upscaling rather than changing your output resolution to 1080, because yes that will look bad. There are other ways to upscale than just DLSS, the Nvidia drivers have a feature called NIS which can do upscaling if you can't use DLSS for whatever reason. I recommend Googling that if you want to give that a shot, it's fairly simple to setup but a little bit hard to explain here in YT comments :) edit: ultra performance is even lower internally, like 720p so it looks rough in my opinion
The graphics card is trash. But people who have no idea will think 16GB is better than 12GB like the 4070. They won't understand that it only has a 128-bit bus. Basically, laypeople are being scammed. I bet Nivida made the graphics card especially for people who want to buy a low-end card and then see that for 100 more they could buy something future-proof, because they've often heard that 8GB VRAM is already quite low. Basically, it's a huge scam.

I get the same gaming experience as your build only I paid half of what you did. I have a 5600X3D ($199) and a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6750XT ($250) used. For your budget I would have matched the 5600XT with a 4070 Super for $750 blowing both our current builds out of the water in games. You wasted so much money. Get a $50 pro builder parts consult next time, it would have saved you hundreds or bought a far better gaming PC. So sorry.
compare to RTX 3060ti then you will realize that this card is very-very bad... as a long nvidia user, I will not buy this card.. even if someone give this card as a gift, I will sell it and get 7800xt instead or 4070super....

Everything is expensive but this card is great for power consumption to performance. I run 1440 high settings and uses 13gb ram. It's about perfect for low power gaming. 8gb is definitely not enough ram
I agree! It’s a fun card to use as someone who likes to tinker as well
Nice and informative video, man. Subscribed!
Thanks! Finally working on a new video now 😁
The entire market is overpriced.

Thanks! I really liked this review!! Just subbed
Thanks buddy! More to come 😁
Yes, please more content on the 4060ti 16GB.
I know I'm months late to the thread but I recently got my 4060 Ti 16 GB and it's running a game like Cyberpunk 2077 around the 60 FPS mark and even higher (outside of Dogtown... it's quite demanding) with Balanced DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation at 1080p which is my preferred resolution
Mind you, I previously had the 3050 8 GB which needlessly to say is trash for games without RT requirements such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint, in this game I struggled having stable performance in Golem Island and after upgrading I felt major boost in frames
So, with this in mind... I think it's a great choice for those who can't afford the 4070 or higher
That's my take on the card, it's not terrible in terms of performance but it is in terms of pricing which I agree it could've been cheaper
Also great video
You should have bought an AMD 6750XT $320 new or $230 used and saved $100-$220 and get same fps. You also could have spent the $450 on a much, much, more powerful AMD RX 7800XT or the 20% faster $380 RX 7700XT. Why are people way overpaying for this GPU when so many crazy better options exist. At least bump up to the 4070, its so worth the price over the 4050Ti pretending to be a 4060Ti, its literally the 4050 die number on the core chip.
@@bodasactraI spent about 420 USD (AFTER currency conversion because I'm not in the US) which is basically 20 dollars more than the 8 GB model which I avoided at all cost because 8 is not enough
Edit: I couldn't afford the 4070 where I live, so the 4060 Ti 16 GB was the only available option for me and I'm happy with my purchase which matter the most to me 😊
Also, I'm not s fan of AMD cards
@@yourstrulybilly940 Nothing you have posted here changes the fact there are about 9 better options combined from both companies you could have purchased for much less money for the same performance or near same money for way better performance. Unless all 9 were unavailable you screwed yourself. There is no way around it and that is why most reputable tech channels came out so strong not to buy it. Many get caught up in the brand name "Nvidia" and the previous performance of certain model numbers. The 4060Ti had a certain expectation and many people trusted in that alone when they purchased a 4050 with a 4060 name plate on it. A tremendous scam I will never forgive.
@@bodasactra seems like you're trying to force your preference which isn't working on me buddy, and I don't have to repeat myself when I say:
- I am not a fan of AMD GPUs
- I cannot afford the 4070 or higher, my PC already cost me a lot of money where I live because prices are way higher than you expect
So go kick rocks or touch grade if you feel butthurt about my own decisions ;)
@@yourstrulybilly940 I am just using basic price to performance data. A 7800XT is equal in price to a 4060Ti 16GB but it slightly faster than a 4070. Why not buy the 7800XT? It would be silly not to because you dislike the name on the side and it proves my point about wasting a ton of money just for a brand name. The 6750XT is over $100 less and performs exactly the same. the 2080Ti is faster and cheaper if you must have Nvidia. There is no way to justify buying a 4060 of any kind, its a 4050 scam line up and the experts agree on that. Sorry, you seem to take these facts personal but its not my intention. Happens to the best of us at least once.
I watched the whole video than I saw your sub count AND I COULDNT BELIEVE THE NARRATIVE WAS PERFECT
I receive it on Monday !!! Just burned my GTX 1050 Ti with too much overclocking xD
i5 5675C @4GHz
Lcd UWQHD Fox Spirit PGM340v2
16gb DDR3 @2472MHz
Way to go, amazing upgrade from a 1050Ti! 😵💫
The 4060Ti 16GB is equal, slower, or crushed, by these cheaper GPUs:
AMD: 6700XT, 6750XT, 6800, 6800XT, 7700XT, 7800XT.
Nvidia: 2080Ti, 3060Ti, 3070.
Some are over $100 less, others same price but outclass it as much as two levels. A super scam GPU.
Keep her at 1440. Ultra dlss. Fg and tweak out some unnecessary effects like camera blurr or shake and it helps tremedously
I think it’s a fine card for 1440p, especially if you’re set on buying new instead of used and love the Nvidia features 😁
You don't understand how VRAM works. Of course more memory is reserved. Horizon has tests that show that with identical settings 4GB more is reserved if it is available. But that doesn't affect the actual performance.
Maybe I misspoke and said reserved instead of actually being used. Either way, it doesn’t matter what is reserved, the performance difference between the 8GB and 16GB models is only seen when the 8GB model exceeds its VRAM. I’m not sure what I don’t understand lol
@@PuffinTechYT If you had a graphics card with more memory than 16GB, more VRAM would be reserved than necessary for the same settings. The 4060 ti runs on a 128-bit bus. You only have 4 memory chips with 4GB each. The 3070 with 8GB VRAM 256-bit bus with 8 memory chips has better performance in WQHD. Basically, the 4060 ti is more like a 4050, but people who think more VRAM creates better performance don't understand how a graphics card works and why the 16GB version doesn't create any added value in gaming. I seriously hope that people don't buy the graphics card because it's actually a scam.
By this Black Friday the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB will be under $400. Which is finally the price that it should have been at launch.
I love you man, thanks for the test. Buying this card.
See I don’t have a 4k monitor and I’m happy with 1080p / 1440p so running with this graphics card is perfect for me, its the cheapest of the 40 series, built for 1080p and DLSS of which I don’t mind, and I can have a smooth next gen experience, I’m pretty sure the card is advertised for 1080p as well, its not built for 4k displays…
A three year old $330 AMD 6750XT matches it exactly in raster. For the same money you can get a 30% faster 7800XT that absolutely exposes the 4060Ti as out of its price class by a country mile. Its slower than all these cheaper cards: 2080Ti, 3070, RX6800, RX6800XT, RX 7700XT.
Honestly I have the 4060TI 8GB and I’m able to play it maxed out at 4k in the high 40s to mid 50 fps. So would the 16 GB even worth it?
If you’re happy with graphics settings and performance in the games that you play, then no it’s not worth it. There are some cases where the 16GB makes a difference, but for the most part they’re edge cases and may not apply to you.
I guess it's popular to bash on this card. I have the 16gig version ans it runs just fine on my 1440p monitor.
in my opinion the 8 GB card was planned out during the crypto currency issues, and they took some notes from the rx-6500xt being available through the chaos. there was no way to know when the demands would drop, so they probably decided to release the card anyway, and the 16 GB was a last-minute attempt to give appease some of the people who pushed hard against 8 GB cards.
Yeah I think that’s a reasonable take on the situation. The this generation was always going to have some weirdness after all the insanity of the previous gen
If you're using a CPU that would bottleneck a 4070, but still want more than 8gb of VRAM, then this might a good choice. A 4070 isn't going to run any faster, if it is badly bottlenecked by the CPU. It's just $100 wasted, if you can't fully utilize it.
4060 TI for a 5900x is good?
I had to pick up this 16GB version last Black Friday due to an irresistible flash deal on a premium model for the same price as a basic 8GB version. I just don't know if I'll still stick with 1080p or buy a 1440p monitor.
In my opinion, hold off on spoiling yourself with higher res displays for as long as you can. If you currently think 1080p looks good, then stick with that and crank eye candy settings! Once you go 1440p or higher it’s hard to go back 😁
@@PuffinTechYT I already tried Nvidia's DLDSR, which renders the game at a high resolution and downscales from 1440p to the monitor's 1080p and I found it much cleaner and sharper, but I soon stopped so as not to risk getting used to it haha. If it were you, would you buy a 1440p monitor with this card right away? Remembering that I only play single player games locked at 60 fps.
Yeah the Nvidia downsampling tech works well. A couple of questions. What’s your budget for a new monitor? And why do you lock to 60fps?
@@PuffinTechYT I don't expect to spend so much on a premium model, a 27'' 1440p monitor with a maximum of 100hz is more than enough in my case I believe, and I like locking at 60fps as I already find it an acceptable and comfortable rate, mainly due to forcing less the hardware, consuming and heating up less CPU and video card and there is also the bonus of the coolers running with less noise, in my case there are only advantages to locking since I don't play competitive games. In my opinion I see an exaggerated fetish for refresh rates above 100~120Hz out there.
Right on, I can see your point of view on all that. A lot of times locking in your frame rate will also give a very consistent experience as far as frametimes too. I think a 1440p would be a logical next step for your hardware, and if you’re looking at more budget displays I’d say check out AOC and Gigabyte, they have some great bang for buck as far as 1440p monitors go.
This is a communication failure on the side of NVIDIA, Now I understand why this card exists, and why 3070 16gb is 200 usd more expensive. This is because of this DLSS and Frame generations.
12 gigs should be the minimum for the next 60 sku cards, 16 for 70s and 20+ for 80s, if the rtx 5000 series sticks with 8 gigs for the 5060, 12 for 70 and 16 for 80 ill be disappointed
U don't need 16gb variant for this performance 🤦♂️ Having 8 GB of RAM will give you the same performance as having 16 GB. The latter is not designed for gaming.
If you exceed 8GB of vram then it can affect performance, that’s the point of testing higher resolutions, RT, and frame gen. All of which add to vram usage.
@@PuffinTechYT Yes, dude, you are right. It is smart to buy this card if your goal is 1080p because there are not many VRAM-hungry games for 1080p, so even The Last of Us used to have issues but now it's good after some patches. If a person is truly considering getting 16GB, they should go for the 4070 instead. It only costs a few more bucks, and in terms of performance, you and I both know that it's better than the 4060ti 16GB in every aspect.
My video doesn’t just cover 1080p, I was exploring the gaming capabilities of this card beyond the typical use case in this particular game. If a person is considering 16GB of vram I wouldn’t recommend the 4070 either because it only has 12, otherwise I agree with you on all points. 🤠
@@PuffinTechYTI only dislike it when people compare prices. We all know that the 4060ti with 16GB is more expensive than the 8GB variant, but in terms of fps, it's the same as the 4060ti. However, in the comments section, some foolish AMD fans start comparing its price to other AMD GPUs. That's why I said that the 16GB isn't meant for gaming purposes. I understand that you did a proper benchmark, and my only problem is with these misunderstood individuals.
@itachi7976 Right, both 4060Ti's have the same core, it's effectively the same thing for a realistic gaming situation. Probably Nvidia's marketing puts fuel on the fire for AMD fans because you see an RX 6800 next to a 4060Ti and say wtf, but they're really for people who have different use cases like you said.
Also, despite my clickbait-y title I actually like the 4060Ti 16GB because it’s just a weirdo card and it’s fun to mess around with. I want to make a video about using integer scaling to upscale 720p gameplay with maxed out RT and PT and it’s sort of the perfect card for it.
Would the 4060ti 16gb be good for only live streaming ?
2:32 this card doesn't make any sense then. This should not have RTX at the beginning because if Cyberpunk is the new benchmark for games like GTAV was, why was this, a Ti a 16GB version can not give you 60fps in RAYTRACING at 1080p natively!!!
ultra settings in this game makes no sence because psycho ssr is as expensive as rt reflections. turn ssr down to high and ambient occlusion to low it gains you a lot of fps withou any visual difference
It's not a terrible card. It's a terrible price.
The 4060 ti with 16 GB makes no sense, because it is significantly more expensive and has a weaker chip for 2K.
For 2K, the 4070 Super is now best suited, which already gives 60+ frames and a surprise much more confidently... she has 12 GB, just the right amount.
You just need to understand that the 4060 ti 8GB is a card strictly for 1080p, but in 1080p it supports ANY game well with any setting up to the tracing of the path.
I certainly don’t think the price makes sense for the 16GB model, but as I showed in this video I don’t think the idea of it is completely wrong and overall I think it was an experiment by Nvidia to judge how the market would tolerate a completely DLSS reliant card
@@PuffinTechYT Tests in 1080p prove that the 4060 at 8gig works well, and tests in 2K prove that in addition to lack of memory, the chip itself is weak.
The rest is fantasies about what could have been if ...
I've read a lot of reviews from the real owners of the 4060/4060ti. Not those who, having 4090 or 7900xtx, wrinkle their nose at DLSS+FG.
Well, these inexperienced people really praise the 4060/4060ti. Yes, I myself tested the 4060ti at 8 gig in 1080p, and everything worked well.
I run this card and it consumes 13-14gb but runs great on way less power than the bigger card. 12gh isn't enough ram these days. Especially for that price.
@@mmosquini And then how does it turn out that the 4070 with 12 GB produces much more frames?
No problem, if you need more memory and you think Nvidia is expensive for your money, why didn't you buy a 7600xt or 7700/7800?
@@Aleksey-vd9oc I said everything is expensive not just one thing. I would be interested to see the latency graphic of the 4070 running at max ram vs a 4060 with a few gigs to spare. When cards max out ram things get a little laggy.
I got the 4060 TI 16gb for flat 400 that was only used for a week which it sounded good and jumped on it, was it a bad choice?
i would like to see a starfield one please for this card.....TY
I rather pay 100$ more for 4070super ans have better performance
Wow every card is great if you dont compare it to other cards
Is dlss good on 1080p?🤔
Im considering this card over a 6700xt since i only have a 500w psu, but i think it might just be better to wait for either 4060 super series or 5000 series
It is very powerful efficient, I don’t think there will be a 4060 Super but I think the 5000 series stands to be very efficient power-wise
@@PuffinTechYT Because nearly the entire 20 series got a super refresh, I do think there probably will be a regular 4060 super with 16gb of vram, but im not sure of a 4060 ti super with how negatively that card was received. The cards themselves aren't bad though, if Nvidia priced them 10-20% cheaper there would be no need for a super refresh.
@@PuffinTechYT i think mores law is dead had a video on the list of supers, and i think there was a 4060 ti super with 12 GB and a 192 bit bus.
A super of this card seems pointless... Just save for the next year or so and wait for a 4070 super to go on sale
@@bignose1752you should upgrade your power supply and you should be good
16gb of vram is great is do some AI generation, nvidia have cuba, so cheap card with cuda is great too, 4060 ti 16gb is not the best if u only do videogames but it nice if u do more than videogames in ur pc
The price is the problem to be honest

Why not play 4k ultra performance? I don’t know what it specifically does btw.
I think the internal resolution is just too low and looks too bad even at 4k, but it would still be interesting to see so I may do that in the future 😁
@@PuffinTechYT sorry if the question seems uneducated, I’m playing on a 4k tv and don’t know how to get it to play at 1080p with it looking pixelated to absolute hell, and dls performance from my understanding renders it to “1080p”.
Not an uneducated question at all :D 4k with performance DLSS is running at 1080 internal. If you can, you want to use some form of upscaling rather than changing your output resolution to 1080, because yes that will look bad.
There are other ways to upscale than just DLSS, the Nvidia drivers have a feature called NIS which can do upscaling if you can't use DLSS for whatever reason. I recommend Googling that if you want to give that a shot, it's fairly simple to setup but a little bit hard to explain here in YT comments :)
edit: ultra performance is even lower internally, like 720p so it looks rough in my opinion
@@PuffinTechYTahh, ok thank you for confirming for me. I’ve tried nis but it’s really pixelated too me.
Honestly some of my best advice would be to just lower some setting and play at balanced DLSS at a minimum and you should have very good image quality
Will it run triples 32s 1080p on iracing
I really want to know how it preforms in Alan Wake 4k.
I think 4070 with only 12gb its more embaressing then the 4060 ti 16gb
Have you tried world of warcraft on max settings with this card? I'm interested in knowing how it does
200-300fps
In my country rx 7700 xt and rtx 4060 ti 16gb are almost at same price....... which one should i get?
Well, the 7700 XT is faster than the 4060 Ti in pretty every scenario, so unless you really really want DLSS, I would get a 7700 XT
I really wish nvidia remove this rtx 4060 ti and rtx 4060 and relese rtx 4060 super like what they did to rtx 20 and gtx 16
I honestly don’t think it’s gonna happen with these cards unfortunately
is this card really that bad? i recently updated my pc with it.
No, I’m actually pretty positive about it in the video haha. It’s a fine card, just a bit overpriced, but what isn’t overpriced these days?
@@PuffinTechYT True
The graphics card is trash. But people who have no idea will think 16GB is better than 12GB like the 4070. They won't understand that it only has a 128-bit bus. Basically, laypeople are being scammed.
I bet Nivida made the graphics card especially for people who want to buy a low-end card and then see that for 100 more they could buy something future-proof, because they've often heard that 8GB VRAM is already quite low. Basically, it's a huge scam.
Such crap gpus shouldn't have RT. I mean what's the point of enabling it if you can't run it smoothly.
This card blows
I have a rtx 3070 currently....should I buy this?
3070 is better
if you want dlss and frame gen then yeah. if you dont care about that get another card. dont listen to what others say. do whatever you would like.
I get 4060 ti 16 gb 32gb of ddr5 i7 13k system 900 bucks so not bad being 3 months old so should i iget this hell ya and later strip the 4060 to a 4080 hahahahah😅
I get the same gaming experience as your build only I paid half of what you did. I have a 5600X3D ($199) and a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6750XT ($250) used. For your budget I would have matched the 5600XT with a 4070 Super for $750 blowing both our current builds out of the water in games. You wasted so much money. Get a $50 pro builder parts consult next time, it would have saved you hundreds or bought a far better gaming PC. So sorry.
compare to RTX 3060ti then you will realize that this card is very-very bad... as a long nvidia user, I will not buy this card.. even if someone give this card as a gift, I will sell it and get 7800xt instead or 4070super....
?
lol why waist ur money on that trash. just go amd. you can't go wrong
