I love your videos because you keep it to the point and skip the drama. You don't jump on the hate train but give a very comprehensive analysis with pros and cons. Something most consumers really appreciate when making decisions on new tech and hardware to buy. Keep up the great work as always. P.S. love your hair!

[@darkglobe406]

i too can appreciate the professional approach , but that does not change the fact that rtx 4060 and 4060Ti are complete garbage for current prices . the mid range generational "uplift" was never so low / or non existant as it is now . gtx 1060 (6gb version) was on par with gtx 980 when it came out , rtx 2060 was on par with 1080 when it came out , 3060 is where it started to go down hill and it escalated with this generation . these cards can barely beat their direct predecessors and can´t even dream to touch rtx 3080 like previous xx60 cards did to last gens xx80 cards , hell even 4070 struggles to keep up with 3080 in higher than 1080p resolutions . not to mention we are basically stuck on 6-8gb of VRAM since 2016 and to add insult to injury they even lowered the bus width . rtx 4060 should be named 4050 (150-180 dollars) , 4060Ti should be named 4050Ti (200-250 dollars) , 4070 should be named 4060 (300-350 dollars) , 4070Ti should be named 4060Ti (400-500 dollars) , 4080 should be 4070/4070Ti (600-700 dollars) and 4090 should be 4080 (900- 1 000 dollars) . this generation from nvidia is just a trainwreck , the only card that brings significant generational uplift is rtx 4090 but its price is just too high . people can just buy factory new 6700xt for 300-350 dollars these days which is faster than RTX 4060 and it has 12gb of VRAM .

[@gjonezin]

This was very helpful. Thank you. I also appreciate the fact that you highlighted power consumption. I would add that the lower power consumption of the 4060 series, allows them to go into more PCs, without the need to upgrade PSUs. If you were to look at fps at resolution per watt, I think we'd find the 4060 series actually being rated highly efficient.

[@TechTesters]

Thanks! And definitely.

[@unknownplayer10k]

Nice to see even women taking interest in pc builds, evolution do wonders.

[@Groovy-Train]

I like how Palit are just using an actual x8 sized PCI-E connector on their card instead of using a full x16 connector with half the traces missing. 👍

[@cracklingice]

Replace 4060 with 4050 and it makes more sense - because everything 4070 Ti and below are +10 on their actual model. The 12GB cards are both the real 4060s and the 8GB cards are both 4050s.

[@darthpaulx]

That's why Nvidia wanted to release the 4070ti as a 4080 12gb. Everything below that are craps you don't need. If you think about it, it is correct if Nvidia released it as 4080 12gb. Because RX7900xtx vs RTX4080 RX7900xt vs RTX 4080 12gb. The 2 x900 series from Amd vs the 2 x80 series from Ngreedia. The problem was that they wanted to release it for whooping 900 dollars. Ngreedia gone mad. 🤣🤣🤣

[@gruiadevil]

Actually no. 4070Ti is where it should be. 3090Ti performance. (4 steps ... not unusual for a high-class card) The real 4070 wasn't launched. It would have had 3080Ti performance. (3 steps) The current 4070 is actually the 4060Ti. 3080 level of perf (3 steps) The 4060Ti is a 4060. 3070 level of perf (2 steps) The 4060 is a 4050-4050Ti. 3060 level of perf (1-2 steps) The higher end cards, always make more steps than lower class cards. So yeah ... the 3050 was 250$ and it was priced bad. That card should have launched at 200, and go for 150 within a few months. On the other hand, it always looked more as a 3050Ti, than an actual 3050. But even so ... Which brings us to this 4060... If it were an actual 4060, they would have priced it 350. They wouldn't go back on pricing less. So they actually went further, a lot further. Instead of 250, which was horrible, they priced it 300. Which is atrocious, considering it should have launched at 200 and go down to 150 pretty fast. AMD isn't a lot better either. F*** their 7600 at 250. That should be 200 too.

[@3polygons]

@@gruiadevil So... their 4050 is going to be like a "4030" , in reality? Still, I see these efficient, cold, silent 4060, and with quite a few features non existing in AMD, crucial for most of my workflows, pretty a nice card for work. A pity about the 8GB. I know a few apps (3D GPU rendering and video in Davinci Studio) that would need more VRAM.

[@gruiadevil]

@@3polygons The 4050 is going to be like a 4030. Basically just being able to run the games at lowest possible settings. Either 4 or 6 Gb VRAM. Because there's no point in more at those settings. And it's going to cost 200$ (50$ cheaper than the RTX 3050 at launch), when in fact it should be a 100$ card, because I doubt it will need a PCIe 6 pin power adaptor plugged into it, and be limited at 75W. Which is nice ... I mean ... let's say you have an old PC and your GPU can't even start up the games. Buy this baby, plug it in, try out some games and if you like them, get a nice GPU that can actually play them. This is what the 1650 actually was intended for. To upsell the 2060/2070. At 100$, it wouldn't be a bad buy. But at 200$ I expect my games to be playable, like the 4060 delivers. They can do it. Their margins are through the roof. They just like money more than they care about us peasants playing games.

[@guyverhw4780]

One thing about power consumption and DLSS3, you can lock your fps at the monitor refresh rate (60/120htz) and consume even less power while still maintaining 60 or 120 fps. DLSS3 is also good to reduce power consumption on both cpu/gpu if the draws back doesn't bother you at all or too much and you care about your electric bill.

Does anyone notice that the palit card doesn't have the full pcie, at least that's what it looks like to me.

Yeah, it's a PCI-E 4.0 x8 card, so they gave it an x8 connector. The Gigabyte card with the full x16 connector will only be using half the traces to the motherboard slot anyway.

[@Trusteft]

Shocked about the temps on that gigabyte. Shocked. Before you mentioned the details I was thinking that with 115W it wouldn't be far off to see a passively cooled version, then BAM! Disappointing card, other than power consumption, but as much as one would find it easy to blame Nvidia, what are the other two doing? Their efforts aren't even close. Sad. Just sad.

[@darthpaulx]

Als je vanuit de RTX4060ti kijkt, is the 4060 maar 25% goedkoper. Dus het ligt eraan hoe je het bekijkt. Vanuit 4060, denk je dat je goeie deal heb. Omdat het 33 % goedkoper is en maar 25% slomer. Vanuit de Ti denk je, oh mijne is 25% sneller en ook 25% duurder, dus is allemaal goed. Trek je spel " Control " weg van benchmark, dan is de RX7600 sneller. Dat spel is wel erg Nvidia gebasseerd. Blijft bij kiezen wat je vind dat je meer nodig heb. Amd heeft weer stroom en warmte problemen. Word het weer een GCN geval? Klote dat Nvidia nu de hele gpu markt stuurd. Amd volgt ze nu gewoon en niet meer tegen concureren. Want tegen concureren heeft toch geen nut. Dan dropt Nvidia zijn prijs naar iets boven Amd, en iedereen springt om Nvidia te kopen. Mensen gebruiken Amd zodat ze iets goedkoper Nvidia kaart kunnen krijgen. Amd denkt ook zo van: ja, heel goed gezien mensen. Dus dan volg ik wel gewoon Nvidia. Hoeven zij hun prijs niet te verlagen. En ik ( Amd ) kan dan ook wat meer verdienen. En zo is Amd winst op gpu van 25% naar bijna 50% gestegen. Amd vind dit prima hoor. Nvidia heeft een winst van 70% op gpu's. Ik vind dit echt niet normaal veel winst. Dus prijzen kunnen makkelijk door dehelft van alle gpu's. Dan maakt Nvidia nog steeds 35% winst. Wat eigenlijk had moeten zijn. Zoals in het verleden was gpu fabriekanten winst op zo'n %. Ati had toen winst tussen 25 en 35%. En Nvidia vroeger ook. Totdat Amd Ati had overgenomen, toen begon het ramp in gpuland. GCN van Amd was 3x niks. HD7970 was toen nog goed op GCN. Daarna de R9 290x, en toen was het voorbij en R9 390x was totaal een kut kaart. Was gewoon een refresh van 290x met 10% betere performance. Dan kreeg je de RX480, daarna RX580 met Vega56 en 64. Toen had Amd nog over sweet spot is 250 dollar toen de RX 480 8gb kwam. En die was toen idd 250 dollar. En wat deed Nvidia, verlaagd zijn prijzen en iedereeen weer Nvidia kopen. En nog wat is dat Nvidia alle reviewers had omgekocht. Ik keek ook naar reviews en zag dat de GTX970 beter deed dan de RX 480 8gb. Terwijl dat in werkelijkheid helemaal niet zo is. Door zulke leugens en verlaging van Gtx 970 naar 200 euro, was ik toen ook dom geweest en de GTX 970 gekocht. Na 1 jaar al spijt en kocht daarna de RX 580. Die echt veel beter was dan de GTX970 en maar 10-15% beter dan de RX 480. Dus momenteel ga ik niet 123 een Nvidia kopen. Maar Amd is nu ook niet veel beter. En Intel doet ook alleen maar duur inzetten. Dus klaar met PC gaming zou ik zeggen. Heb je een pc en denk je goedkoop een gpu erin en je kan gamen is er niet meer. Gewoon op console gamen is beste. PS5 doet het goed. Ben blij mee. 500 euros voor een kut gpu of 500 euro voor een perfect werkende PS5 met mooie graphics. En zo te zien moeten de volgende generatie gpu's minimaal 12gb mem hebben. 1080p 12gb 1440p 16 gb minimaal 4k 20gb minimaal Ik denk dat Nvidia nog steeds met 8 gb probeert te komen op de 5050 ofzo. Of ze dat op de 5060 gaan proberen ga ik nu even niet vanuit, maar kan altijd. Ngreedia geeft je altijd ongeveer net genoeg geheugen. Zodat je zowiezo in 4 jaar een nieuwe gpu van ze wilt. Mischien zelfs elk gen van 2 jaar. Ik had toen met mijne HD6970 bijna 10 jaar mee gedaan. Die toen de top kaart was en maar 300 euros koste.

The 4060 is the same price as the 3060 12GB in Sweden as we speak, its 20% faster on average at both 1080p and 1440p than the 3060 12GB and it also offers Frame Generation making games with RT actually playable. But people are going to cry and make an issue out of nothing. Its hilarious how people expect a 50% performance jump for $200 when the 4070 is just between the 3080 and 3080ti for the price of a 3080 and the RX 7600 is barely faster than the 6650XT while it costs more.

For these low-end 40 series GPUs it would be interesting to see if they offer any ChatGPT or other AI-driven program rendering performance uplift over 30 series cards (or CPU performance). Only applicable to programs powered by desktop (not cloud) hardware, obviously. Thanks! 👍👍

[@inquisidorraam3643]

EVGA was right

[@martingo2680]

What a great $200 card!

[@Groovy-Train]

Yes, the perfect price point for this 50 series card.

[@ardithconley2628]

I believe NVIDIA missed an opportunity here due to this card should have been named a RTX 4050 which the RTX 3050 was a joke. But this card would have been large improvement over that card. 8g 128 bus brings it down to 4050 level like it or not. But NVIDIA can name their cards anything they want but we do not have to buy them. My point here is with the RTX 3060 8g and 12g 192 bus which was a great cards. We expected better on a 4060 class upgrade cards.

[@Ang3lUki]

I feel like people underrate how Nvidia has consistently been ahead on efficiency.

[@amankumarjha4530]

In India the price difference between 3060 vs 4060 is huge so i prefer 3060 cuz of this

[@zacthegamer6145]

3060 is better too.

[@aquatix5273]

@@zacthegamer6145 3060 is better if you run 4k maxed bottlenecked by vram, thats it, such a big deal for a card that would not be able to run playable framerates even with a bigger bus and 16gb of vram

[@martinpro4967]

While I am new to your channel and really like your reviews and I also like you take in consideration cost of power, I think 50 cents per kwh is a little extreme. The average in the EU is 24 cents, my advice would be for everyone who pays 50 cents an hour to check for alternative electric utility company, before buying a less power hungry graphics card!

[@TechTesters]

This video is a bit older, at the time lots of people still paid 40-50 cents here. Also here in Holland prices are generally a lot higher than in some other EU countries.

[@blegi1245]

@@TechTesters here in Finland you can get a 2 year fixed price contract for about 11-12 cents per kwh including fixed monthly base charge right now. That's still more than twice the normal price. We had a fixed price contract end this summer that was 5 cents per kwh.

[@blackwolf616]

All msi models for this 40 series are really badly build, and, I think is great, the message here is "We don't like this line up, its going to be a total blunder, so we are not going to sell a quality product and will just make this gen a quick buck". They took a better business decision than EVGA, if next gen is way better as predictions are rising, MSI patience will pay off.

[@dkoykoala1488]

I want to yell and scream but shes just an innocent bystander. Hahaha

[@tylerjones477]

look this is where people are messing up in testing these cards at 1440 they perform better in 1440 then 1080 on the 4060 but you have to run the at medium settings it takes to much vram to run on ultra and gives really bad fps and try some actual games people play

[@thejollysloth5743]

Should have tested it against the 10gb RX 6700 as well. That extra 2gb of VRAM could come in very handy for maxing out those 1080p texture packs.

[@duikmans]

It's obvious that hey started the development of the 4060 during the mining days...

[@iancurrie8844]

From the die size to the memory bus, this is clearly a xx50 class GPU. An xx60 class would beat the previous generation's xx70 but this one doesn't even match the last gen's xx60ti. Nvidia are lying to us and RIPPING US OFF. Buy an RX6700XT instead.

[@Arting-Sir]

I was thinking about getting this, cuz of price. Alot of people just use Dogmatism, instead of giving facts. Thank you.

[@TechTesters]

I try and stick to the facts ☺️ glad it’s appreciated!

[@Zak91]

Am I the only one who noticed the literally cut down connector on the Palit card??? 😂

[@TheTryingDutchman]

199 bucks, good price, final offer. Seriously, i went 3060 12gb to 4070, anything in between is throwing away money.

[@fabrb26]

Say the brain who bought Nvidia twice

[@TheTryingDutchman]

@@fabrb26 4 times actually, thats what having money allowes one to do. New concept to you?

[@HaggyGT]

​@@TheTryingDutchman having money allows you to waste it on a 4070 which actually has the specs of 60 class card? If you had money you'd buy a 4090. Got got milked hard going from a 3060 to a 4070. Enjoying having to update again next gen because you bought cheap and only a 12GB card lol.

[@TheTryingDutchman]

@@HaggyGT the 4070 is all i need, i play War Thunder at 4k/120fps and only older titles besides WT. Spending more money for performance i dont need, now that would be dumb. Beside that, im totally fine buying a new midrange pc every 3 years, because, like i said, thats what having money allowes me to do.

[@justfun5479]

​@@TheTryingDutchmansorry bro, but buying a 4070 was a bad move. Unless you use it to work.

Frame generation, DLSS. Just different words for upscaling.

Best review ,, 😊

[@Marynz]

Why is Sjokz reviewing GPU's 🤔

[@asiff60000fx]

for me anything above 22 FPS is playable

[@giovannigio6217]

this video is the true opposite of LTT video. I was carried by hate winds of other channels but you remembered me that we don't need to get angry with corporations since they straight don't care. maybe it was nvidia intention to achieve this and free up capacity for AI segment, we'll never know and we shouldn't care.

[@KimBoKastekniv47]

It's slower than a 3060 Ti? LOL

[@justfun5479]

The only good thing about 4060 is the power consumption.

[@Groovy-Train]

Yeah, but I'd expect that of a 50 series card, which this is despite what Nvidia 'named' it.

[@andyrogers3756]

thanks for the comparing to 3060

[@creatorart]

Rx 7600 is 165w not 182w

[@freaky-gamer1637]

My geforce rtx 4060 windforce temps are 50 degrees up to 70 degrees

[@mayssm]

Pretty much just a 3060ti after all these years. Meanwhile, past 60 cards were even faster than the previous generation 70 series cards.

[@TechTesters]

Slower than a 3060 Ti 🥲

[@pqz7]

Not bad not amazing. Let's wait for a year or so.

[@michaelthompson9798]

While power efficiency is very good this generation …..to ‘upgrade’ to an RTX4060 over an older GPU for upwards of $300USD (realistically about $400USD for many of us) and then game for 6~hrs a day for 4yrs isn’t going to save you much money ($85USD) in the short, medium or long term 👎🤦‍♀🤦‍♂and costing you more money overall and wasting resources on creating this GPU imo 😳🤔

[@TechTesters]

Tbh I don’t think anyone with a 30 series card should “upgrade”, but better efficiency is a good reason to consider a 4060 over a 3060 (Ti) if you’re deciding between the two.

[@LucidStrike]

Nevermind the 7600. The RX 6700 Series is a much better deal than the 4060.

[@theproblem9938]

Costs more in UK as rn

[@R6ex]

We are paying for NV software intead of hardware. LOL

[@prateekgupta7544]

This was by far best thorough review including power usage. Other just bashes nvidia, disregarding that this card is much better for those coming from 10x or 20x cards.

[@TechTesters]

Thanks!

[@iliasiosifidis4532]

Dear Nvidia. If i needed to save money, I'd stay on my 2060, I wouldn't spend 300$. If I m spending, I ll need performance, not savings Thx nvidia...

[@abdellahelazhari8127]

If you remove control from your test, does results csn be discussed alot better

[@mythicalcraft2783]

It isn't like Nvidia couldn't do better than AMD and Intel it's just that their greed is stopping the best of them

Nice video

[@alexandertyo3972]

Save $70 electric bill in 4 years by buying a $300 card yeahh... that a no. Even in Europe save €200 in 4 year that assuming you are gaming 4 hours a day constantly for the next 4 years

[@TechTesters]

That doesn’t mean you should buy it to save money. But you should keep it in mind if you want to buy a new GPU and are deciding between the 4060 and a 3060/Ti/7600

[@laurence1211]

Nothing interesting about the 4060, people should just buy a 6700xt for the same money

[@theproblem9938]

Same money in YOUR country 6700xt costs 60 bucks more in uk

[@SomeFrenchDude]

No idea why they went with PCIe 4.0 x8. Can't even use it on my older motherboard compared to the 3060.
