Tear-Down Speedrun of NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition

We already reviewed and benchmarked the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition GPU -- and it didn't go over well for NVIDIA's new $400 video card. But, in the meantime, we might as well take it apart and see how it goes together.

The teardown of this 4050 was pretty nice !

[DarkosLab]

You pulled that card apart faster than my disappointment at the performance set in.

What a nice 4050 GPU inside the 4060ti box...
_3050 - 106 die, 23.8% of full die cores, 276mm², 128-bit bus, 8GB GD6, PCIe4 x8
4060ti - 106 die, 23.6% of full die cores, 190mm², 128-bit bus, 8GB GD6, PCIe4 x8

Wow, this RTX 4050 is looking really solid! Incredible efficiency and great value at 250, -

[PyromancerRift]

Its so tiny, it reminds me of a 250$ card....

This cooler serves two purposes: one is dissipating heat, another is to look big and hide how little amount of hardware they are selling for $400

[Corristo]

The size of the card really shows that this was never meant to be more than an entry-level Ada Lovelace card, which Nvidia decided to price like something we used to pay for upper midrange cards a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, you can make very compact cards that still perform well. I'm still running a Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini, which has all the performance and VRAM of the regular sized 1060's. But here it's more than obvious that Nvidia is essentially trying to sell you a VW Up! for the price of a Porsche 911.

“In this video we are just going to be tearing it down.” Not gonna lie Steve, you tore it down pretty well in the review.

[MaxIronsThird]

Never knew NVidia would make a 4050Ti FE, looks cool.

[TiagoMorbusSa]

Wow, two tear down videos of this card in the same day by Gamers Nexus.
Good stuff.

[rustler]

God, if this $399 embarrassment is this bad...I cannot wait for the absolute slaughter that is the 4060 and the 4060 16GB. It's going to be glorious to see NVIDIA shredded.

[ShadySKWASHA]

The RTX 4060ti should have been their 4050

[rare]

It’s a pretty card from the outside and it comes in a nice box. That’s about all it has going for it right now.

[Ja_Schadenfreude]

I think you guys had your 4060Ti swapped for a 4050. Oh wait, I doubles checked and that is indeed a terribly spec'ed 4060Ti...

"Yeah but the engraving gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever."

[realkekec]

You pay 300 $ for the box....the rest is for the card.Nice one, nvidia :)

[reread]

Thank you so much. This is such a great service to the community.

[MrKillswitch]

This is pretty much a laptop GPU and there is a lot of relatively ancient by now laptops that can handle 130-150w at the mxm slot just fine. Won't be bothering with this 128bit generation at all between the pricing and overall performance being unattractive.

[Jasontyo]

in a world where this card costs 199 2023 dollars it would light the industry on fire.

I bought one of those new silicone mats and seriously.. AWESOME.. If I had to find one flaw, I do wish the center area was completely flat/filled for a better surface for certain projects where those channels can interfere. Overall a super nice high quality product. I hope in the future you offer one with a larger inner surface, fully flat/filled as I would buy it immediately. Thanks for always putting quality first across all your products and offering them at a fair price.
