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

PNY GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Verto Unboxing & Closeup

The PNY GeForce RTX 4060 Ti VERTO Dual-Fan graphics card comes inside a standard cardboard box. The front of the package has a large "GeForce RTX" brand logo along with the "PNY" logo in the top left corner. A large picture of the graphics card itself is depicted on the front which gives a nice preview of the VERTO design.

The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be NVIDIA Ada architecture, Ray Tracing & DLSS support. NVIDIA has bet the future of their gaming GPUs on Ray Tracing support as these are the first cards to offer support for the new feature. The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards.

There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.

The sides of the box once again greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also the mention of 8 GB GDDR6 (RTX 4060 Ti) memory available on the card.

Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The graphics card comes with a few accessories and manuals which might not be of much use for hardcore enthusiasts but can be useful for the mainstream gaming audience. The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card.

I am really excited to see what PNY has in store for the masses. The PNY Verto cooler is a callback to the 2016's Pascal era when the triple-slot and dual-fan designs were what you would expect on high-end graphics cards. The card features a standard 2-slot height which is expected of today's high-end cards.

The cooling shroud extends all the way beyond the PCB and it requires a casing with good interior space for proper installation.

The back of the card features a solid backplate that looks stunning. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks which I will get back to in a bit.

In terms of design, PNY is using its latest generation of Verto DF coolers that are designed to cool down the impressive Ada Lovelace GPUs from NVIDIA.

The heatsink comes in two modules, each of which is stacked with numerous amounts of fins made out of aluminum. The card uses a massive heatsink structure that makes direct contact with GPU & memory.

PNY is using its latest Double Ball bearing fan design which comes in a triple-fan solution and each fan has an XLR8 sticker placed on top of it.

Each fan is 100mm in size and compared to the traditional 90mm fans, these are said to offer 40% more airflow and gain 55% air pressure.

The fans also come with 0dB fan technology and the limit of fan operation is set at 60C for fan off and on modes.

I am back at talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate that the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The brushed metallic finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic. The graphics card also comes with a compact PCB design which means that the shroud, heatsink, and backplate are all extended beyond the PCB. The third fan blows air through the heatsink and blows it out from the cutouts that are situated at the very end of the backplate.

There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card. We can also see the iconic PNY XLR8 Gaming logos towards the back of the backplate. The whole 'V' shape of it looks pretty cool.

With the outside of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards. The first thing to catch my eye is the humungous fin stack that's part of the beefy heatsink that the cards utilize.

The large fin stack runs all the way from the front and to the back of the PCB and is so thick that you can barely see through it.

The heatsink makes use of a total of 6 heat pipes that extend throughout the internal assembly and dissipate heat from the various components to the fins. The base itself is a solid nickel-plated base plate, transferring heat to the heat pipes in a very effective manner. To top it all off,

I/O on the graphics card sticks with the reference scheme which includes three Display Port 1.4a & a single HDMI 2.1 port. Power is provided through a single 8-pin connector
