I finally upgraded...

After almost 3 years of using the GTX 1650, I was finally able to get myself an upgrade! Let's take a look at it!
I hope you enjoyed this RTX 4060 Ti 8GB unboxing and sorta scuffed benchmark!
Thank you guys for 750 subscribers! I deeply appreciate the support and I promise I will continue to improve!
(also yes, this was filmed and posted on my birthday)

[@WackyAX]

why do people have nothing else to do but bully this guy for getting a 4060TI, its an amazing card but the price is not, going from a 1650 to a 4060ti is an AMAZING upgrade, good job bro congrats

[@HiddenGold]

I always believe that there is always a good side to most modern GPUs today, like what most people say, nowadays there is no bad GPU, only badly priced ones! I’m definitely not someone that prefers NVIDIA over AMD and vice versa, again every card nowadays is good but carries with them their own drawbacks.

[@sownlengoc]

only bad price and bad naming, it should be named rtx4050 ti for its regression to rtx3060 ti

[@Actuallymusician]

​@@sownlengocok what the price i s ? Its 200$ 4060 ti 8gb its good price to performance

[@GobbleFNBR]

@@HiddenGoldit is still a good combo but I would’ve got a 7700xt

because they're "pc experts"

[@Raven03342]

yall are in the 40 series im still rocking my good old gtx 980 ti

[@HiddenGold]

actually goated ngl 🔥🔥

[@lissunger]

well, the 980 Ti is still quite powerful even to this day. The 900 series are legendary. I had a 970 which i used in the beginning of 2019 to the end of 2024 and it still works like new. 3 months ago i switched to a 1660Super bcs i basically bought a new PC and i think even if i didnt have the 1660Super, i would still be happy with the 970 bcs its still really good.

[@BladeCrew]

I'm still rocking my brothers old I3 8100 and RX 570 4GB as my second pc.

[@denisgd1804]

same card, powerful even in 2025, i only got it 2 months ago...

[@lissunger]

[@setsamidori8666]

200% plus performance is always welcome! upgrade my 2 years 3060 to 4070 tis, just because MH Wilds. Grats for you man,

[@stangamer1151]

Went from 3060/12 to 4070 Ti too - 2.3x more performance. Was considering 4060 and 4060 Ti, but when I found out these cards will not be faster than 3070 and have only 8GB of VRAM, which is not enough for my use case (my 3060 was already using 8GB at that time), I decided to jump one tier higher and keep my new GPU for at least 5 years. 4070 Ti is a beast. It runs most 3-5 year old games at native 4K with ease and has no issues at 1440p even with most demanding modern games. DLDSR and DLSS4 are great features, which definitely add Nvidia GPUs more value.

[@Revaza_11]

congrats on that 4060ti man, that's such a huge and good jump!👍😃

[@Aluja77]

This Gaming PC is basically what I have now and the upgrade is reasonable. I had an I7 7700K / GTX 1080 build. My I7 Cpu broke and I switched to the I5 11400f I also got a used RTX 3070 after few Months and the I5 11400f x 3070 combination was sweet but somehow my Mainboard broke so I switched to the AM4 Platform with the Ryzen 7 5800x (should´ve get the Ryzen 7 5700x3D) But now with the Ryzen 7 5800x and the RTX 3070 im completaly at a point where I want to be since Im still at 1080p and buying a new 1440p Monitor doesnt make sense for me. There is people out there buying stuff they dont even use without noticing.

[@crunchymonchicarlos7476]

Hell yeah bro I know the feeling of getting to open a new graphics card the dopamine rush was crazy !

[@rocksolid8506]

Congrats on the upgrade! Upgrading gpu with that big jump is really satisfying, have fun with gaming!

[@Vraba24]

Congrats on the upgrade! I've just gone last week from a crusty RX 480 to RTX 4070 Super, also MSI haha. And trust me 2 vents are more than enough, it's super silent and efficient

[@LostMyPowerArmor]

i have a 4060 bud and i upgraded from a 128 vram igpu so you can imagine how happy i was when i bought it.

[@Simon_182]

Love the video, good upgrade, from an 1650 to an 4060 ti HUGE upgrade! Keep the good work up!

[@GoldAnxnymous]

Make sure you do a DDU install to delete previous Turing drivers (the gtx 1650) and install fresh RT4X 4060TI drivers

[@HiddenGold]

Yup, the thing is the NVIDIA app automatically updates and removes old drivers (in my case the 1650) and replaces them with the new drivers for the 4060 Ti. However I do agree that it’s better to do a full fresh installation of drivers rather than relying on the NVIDIA app!

[@HiddenGold]

fingers crossed for you!

[@GavinRebeiro]

Congrats. Few weeks ago was wanting a rtx 4070 super. But for that money instead i got a rtx 4060, then from Ali express got a 5700x3d & a 2tb nvme ssd. And saved around 400 Aed. Been able to play almost all games at 1440p and with the new dlss4 technology it's been really good. I upgraded from a 7 year old Gtx 1060 & 5 2600 and also all the new parts connected to my old 500w psu with no issues 👍🏼

[@GobbleFNBR]

@@GavinRebeiro I think you have an enormous gpu bottleneck because the 5700x3d is a top 5 gaming cpu in performance of all time when the 4060 is an overpriced budget gpu (bottleneck is where one component limits the other). You would be much better off with a ryzen 5 7500f and rx 7700xt.

[@GavinRebeiro]

@GobbleFNBR tested it alot and have almost no bottleneck at all for my usage. And imo it wasn't overpriced since I got it at a really good deal and was cheaper than what I paid for my gtx 1060 6gb 8 years ago with inflation added for the years difference. Also I was already on a Am4 platform. So for the price of getting just a rtx 4070 super. I managed to get a new cpu, gpu and 2tb fast storage and save around 400aed

[@lookie4448]

@@GobbleFNBR that's actually not true. the 5700x3d is comparable to that 7500f. iceberg tech made a video comparing those cards and results may surprise you

I disagree with the choice in card, but i can understand why you bought it, and anyways there isn’t really a good option anyway and it’s a big jump from a 1650 so still a stellar upgrade and i hope it serves you well for several years.

[@imagamershorts]

I have a gtx 1650 too. But I'm gonna upgrade to a 5080, 4080 S, 7900XTX, 9070XT, I don't know which one to pick but I'm waiting for this massive upgrade. And i can't wait!

[@spatialtests]

Nice upgrade dude. I just went from a 980ti into a 3060ti that I got for $250 since it was the proper upgrade for my HP “VR ready” 6700k dinosaur. Couple days later I got a steal locally on a minty Intel 12 series microceter build. This 3060ti will be short lived as I figure out which 40 series card works best for the money after the 50 series cards release.

[@thatguy3000]

Just to let you know, I have the same card and after doing a bit of research, the only card that I truly want to upgrade to from the 3060 Ti would be the 4090 as that card is literally double the 3060 Ti in every benchmark. If you wanna upgrade, I recommend you hold off for a while or just go buy a 4090 or at the very least a 4070 Ti Super or something in that range.

[@spatialtests]

@ a little bit of research had me in the same boat. Barely used the 3060ti so far, so it’ll be a little while

[@Sh1ft0r]

I'm tempted to buy a 4060 right now to replace my 1660 or Just wait out a bit for the 5060 that MIGHT be coming out in March, idk but I'm more concerned about the price though maybe $300 for the 5060 and $400 for 5060 ti.

no hate on that card but i have RTX 4060 and i have been always struggling with VRAM in demanding games like The last of us P1 or cypberpunk 2077 or even with alan wake 2 just the Vram is always maxed out and in some games you have to even lower the graphics most of the times Textures to clear some Vram so that must be even bigger problem with RTX 4060 Ti to be honest but enjoy your card if you dont play any of those games you will love it

The difference between us is I don’t play demanding or AAA games so yea I won’t face any VRAM issues with gaming XD but yea I do agree that these two cards suffers from low VRAM, but this is more than enough for me!
