Do Not Buy: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB GPU Review & Benchmarks

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.

NVIDIA is so kind, they created a whole video card to promote AMD’s last gen cards!

[iiiiii]

Can’t wait to see a $500 card be slower than a $500 card from 3 years ago

[mistermudpie]

Keep in mind, if not for the 4080 12GB “unlaunch”, this could have well been the 4070 of this generation.

[ViktorBiohazard]

Next week, Nvidia will announce the RTX 4030ti targeting 720p gaming.

[rustusx]

4070ti- Do Not Buy
Okay, lets wait for 4070.
4070- Do Not Buy
Okay, lets wait for 4060ti
4060ti- Oh shit, here we go again...

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

[dragontales]

NVIDIA always seems to make their other awful value GPUs seem good by comparison every time they launch a new GPU. It's amazing really.

[chuck]

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.

[adamlannerd]

Can't wait for AMD to completely blow this opportunity.

[Gizfreek]

Every GPU launch I'm nervously looking at my 1080Ti and keep hoping that it lasts for at least one more generation.

[BruhMomentPatrick]

Just a reminder that the RTX 2070 Super launched at 499$, and it had a 256 bit bus.

[Lazirus]

NVIDIA: "Gamers aren't buying GPUs anymore!"
Also NVIDIA: *farts out the 4060 Ti*

[billyam]

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 ?? 😂

[circumcisio]

Just remember that an RTX 3080 with its 10GB of VRAM was advertised as a 4K card

[recklesssquirel]

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.

[startch]

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.

[rektguud]

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.

[rodrigojimenez]

Reviewing NVIDIA launches is basically 90% stand-up comedy at this point. Thanks Steve!

[AmithKini]

EVGA hit the lottery in exiting the GPU business at the right time

[rishadhasan]

4060 Ti - High end 1080p gaming
4060 - High end 720p gaming
4050 - High end 480p gaming
