Same price for a miniscule uplift in performance, while losing 4GB of vram. Another great Nvidia product 👍

[goregejones]

Wow what a generational improvement, truly remarkable, +10 $ for 10 fps. Good work nvidia keep it up 🎉

[ghunr]

If it weren't for 8 gigabytes of memory, this card would even be a good purchase

[vdslayer]

I remember when RTX 2060 was released it actually gave 40 or more percentage in performance compared to GTX 1060 without DLSS on.. i bought it and i am still using it till date because it is still doing good

[MendAmar]

4060 is efficient yes, but the performance uplift is really bad

[oogwaythesussyturtle]

Wow. We get 10% performance increase for the same price and the same 8 gigs of vram AND a smaller 128 bit bus. Thanks nvidia. Never in my life have i seen such a huge generational improvement in a gpu.

[dlbutters]

i'll tell you what... I actually enjoy this channel more than even Digital Foundry's, because this one gets to the point immediately without any BS... It values the viewers time.

Thank you TG for making these reviews on time, on the other hand it is disappointing for Nvidia that more than 7 years have passed since the 60 series and they have only gained 15 to 20fps in some games and with the dlss activated, let's hope and the 5000 series is not another disappointment

[whalen]

Man I wish we got a 60 class gpu that was the efficiency of the rtx 4060 and the vram amount of the rtx 3060.

[harrymurray]

for someone on a 1660 at the moment thinking of buying one of the what is the best choice? they are both pretty much the same price on amazon with the 4060 actually being a bit cheaper

[vampire]

Does this also apply to the WQHD resolution with the FPS? Can anyone tell me? Thanks!!

[mirceastan]

Very impressive for a 4050 chip, too bad about the name and the price.
Damn, that 3060 is definitely a slow card, it may have 12GB but it's so off the pace compared to 3060 Ti/6700 XT, what a turd.

[ElFaires]

This is the average perfomance with $/FPS and the lowest price I found for the RTX 3060 with the price of the RTX 4060
RTX 3060 | 68.4 | 4.094 | 280
RTX 4060 | 78.8 | 3.808 | 300

Does anyone know if newegg charges tax on each purchase?
And what else should I put in this type of comment to show the data from the gpus better?

[RocksterSAMA]

omg i love thst you have msfs in the test, that is the main game i use and this helps me alot thanks and keep up the good work

[city]

How come do you get only 45 fps on TW3 ? Is it with RT and the latest update ? I remember getting up to 50 in ultra with a poor 1660Ti back in the days.

[BravoSixGoingDark]

Only *Big Difference* is the *GPU Power Usage.*

[Harsh__]

Power consumption is really low compared to 3060 still not a big uplift in performance with 4gb less vram!

[cerro]

Probably at NVidia, they only read and considered the suggestion about reducing electricity bills ... 😆

Not worth it if you wanna jump from a 2060/3060 to the 4060 just DON'T !!! if you have any GTX card series then yes do it. I think the 4060 is aimed at gamers who still use the GTX series and want to jump to a budget RTX, for me I'm very happy with my Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 3060 OC 12gb.
