NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition & Custom Model Review Ft. MSI, GALAX & PNY

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series - GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

So starting with the specifications, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card is the first to feature the AD106 GPU (350-A1 variant). This GPU is also based on the TSMC 4N process node, measures 190mm^2, and features 22.9 Billion transistors which are more transistors than the GA103 GPU that measured 496mm².

This particular chip features 34 SMs with a total of 4,352 cores. It's not the full chip which houses 36 SMs with a total of 4,608 cores but that could be used for a future SKU. The chip features 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 136 Tensor Cores, and clocks in at a 2310 MHz base & 2535 MHz boost. This AD106 GPU can hit a peak compute performance of 22 TFLOPs (FP32), 51 RT TFLOPs & a peak Tensor performance of 353 TOPs.

As for the memory, the graphics card will come in the aforementioned 16 GB and 8 GB variants. It is configured across a 128-bit wide bus interface. The memory modules run at 18 Gbps, delivering total memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s.

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB "Official" TBP - 160W
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB "Official" TBP - 200W

As for the TDP, the card is rated at 160W and the 16 GB GPU features a 5W higher TDP at 165W. Both cards make use of a PCIe Gen 4 x8 connection and power is provided through a single PCIe Gen5 cable.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Cards Performance

Moving over to gaming performance, NVIDIA wants you to make good use of those DLSS 3, RT & Tensor cores to really feel the power of Ada. With all the RTX goodness, you can achieve up to a 70% performance increase over the RTX 3060 TI at the same price and a 2.6x increase over the older RTX 2060 SUPER. If you want to play without DLSS 3, then you are still getting a 15% perf boost which should put you around the same performance levels as an RTX 3070 but with much lower power draw.

How low you might ask? The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti averaged around 205W power while the RTX 3070 averaged around 250W power while gaming. The RTX 4060 Ti in comparison is said to consume just 140W on average. That's a -32% decrease in power which means you can enjoy all your favorite games while saving power and running cool and efficiently.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB Graphics Card Performance (Official):

Now the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is ultimately a 1080p gaming graphics card but the 16 GB variant does warrant a higher resolution or the use of better image quality in titles. NVIDIA states that the 16 GB variant can allow for higher presets in more demanding games such as A Plague Tale Requiem and Resident Evil IV Remake.

A Great 1080p Package With All The RTX Features You'd Ever Want

So summing up today's announcement, I think the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards are really for users who are looking to upgrade their older GTX 1060 or RTX 2060 series cards. They do offer some amazing features with over 400 RTX titles and 300+ DLSS titles including 50 DLSS 3 titles and more that are on the way.

You get NVIDIA Studio support for content creation readiness, AV1 hardware & great AI generative performance thanks to those powerful tensor cores. NVIDIA will be leveraging its AI hardware for more advanced features such as Neural Rendering in future DLSS 3 updates, Neural Textures, and much more to come. The NVIDIA GeForce ecosystem & Game Ready driver updates are a major plus to recommending an RTX card to gamers too.
