RTX 4060 has the same price for more performance, better technology, better architecture, much lower power consumption and much lower temperatures.

[南埜光莉]

I always look at it, thank you for your hard work in verifying it. RTX4060 is a GPU that is not as bad as people say. The one I purchased also cools well and is energy efficient.
Older games (2009-2012) can be played at 165FPS in 4K.

[Colonel-Ezo]

4060 is too close to 3060, but 4060 is more power efficient, so u will save psu money + its price is close to 3060

[sumstopidshet]

As a gamer who plays on Medium to low settings in every game i play no matter the CPU or GPU i see this as an absolute win (FPS over Quality all day everyday)

[nomcognom]

The 3060 12 GB still doing fine for a mid-low budget PC :)

[loudenvier]

Power drain on the 3060 is a LOT higher than on the 4060 while also delivering less FPS... Even if the 4060 will need to stream textures now and then from memory, it seems it's not affecting performance much as it still beats the 3060 while being a lot more energy efficient. Chances are that NVIDIA, going forward, will focus on optimizing drivers for the newer cards relegating "older" cards to obsolescence. I would go with the newer one.

[Bekzhanay]

Oof, I don't what to choose. 4060 is newer and maybe lil bit nicer, but 12 GB in 3060 is just very cold if we consider longer term usage. I think i might go with 3060

[JRose-zniw]

I have a 4060ti 16 gb. and the power-draw numbers are super low also, watts-to-frames these cards are amazing,

[Dartnitt]

No idea what to choose. Im thinking 1080p gaming, if 4060 had 12gb i wouldnt even think about it but this makes it tough choice. I like how power efficient those gpu's are especially compared to 6700xt which can use even 230W, but at the same time offers higher raw performance

[rickfunny]

I have a 3060 rtx for one year and I ordered a 7800x3d but I see not much reason to upgrade. It really needs to be a hell of a card to make the 7800x3d sweat ....

[demikill_]

Special thanks for BDO in test games list, really interested about, how good is frame generation in mmo like this.
Also want to see the tests in World of Warcraft abd maybe other games like these.

[steivenehot]

great comparison! I had the Asus Rog Strix 4060 OC 8GB Edition just a few weeks ago! so good!

[jbscotchman]

You should have also included DLSS with the 3060

[Moochi]

Man i was looking to upgrade my rtx 3060 but the 4060 doesn't seem like a good move anymore 😕 maybe a 4070 they have 12gb versions of that card so hell yea

[MTN]

the difference is so small that its not even worth to change

[Catratio]

I was considering upgrading from a GTX 960 but am shocked even a 3060 can't handle 60 fps for a lot of these games. I'd have expected an 8 year technology leap to just be a no contest comparison but it doesn't even seem worth it at all now. Maybe I'll just wait, idk.

[ShocKwaVeCSGO]

I ordered a 4060Ti with a i5 14600KF 16gb ram, it was on sale on a decent price, opinions if it will perform?

[ricciolo]

What software do you use to view the hardware data, fps, cpu, gpu temperature, etc?

[sayansen]

I don't know but my rtx 3060 12gb gets much more fps than shown in the video

[juanford]

It is impresive the low power the 4060 GPUs consume, heck...even the 4060Ti consumes less than a 2060, shame the jump in raw performance compared with the 30 series is that low.
