Do you think the 4060 Ti is worth the extra money?

[@roki977]

No. 8gb is simply not enough in 2024 and it will only get worse. For 400$ there is rx 7700xt, rx 6800 for even less and both are much faster than poor 4060ti with enough vram and both can be solid 1440p GPUs, unlike 4060ti that is stuck with 1080p with its narrow 128bit bus. Nvidia has nothing under 550$ and that is a big shame, AMD is not much better but they got something at least.

[@theivadim]

Thanks!☺️ I use CapFrameX. It's the best. 6900 XT vs 3080 = unfortunately I don't have that and I've never touched these graphics cards so can't give you a good recommendation based on personal experience.

[@AKMcF]

3060 Ti vs 3060 was worth it, the extra horsepower overshadows the VRAM decrease, 4060ti 16gb is a cash grab.

Dlss 3.7 is now very good i can't tell much difference between dlss quality at 1080p and native 1080p.nvidia gpu owners should always use dlss quality at 1080p now i feel and Radeon gpu users should play at native 1080p because fsr looks bad at 1080p.

is it really $400 USD for a 4060ti over there??? i have one on the way right now and i payed $550 aud (337.55 Euro, 366.46 USD) for it

[@obeliskt1024]

I really like how you do these reviews/head-to-heads of GPU's in sort of first person mode (a slap in the face to those who may call your gameplay/gpu's fake) and not simply screen-recorded with some afterburner overlay. Also, imo 4060ti 8gb will never be worth it until it goes below $329 average price (and around $379 for the 16gb version) that would mean around 249-279 max for the 4060 now those are somewhat good deals.

[@theivadim]

It's a shame that NVIDIA hasn't launched an updated and improved 4060 Ti SUPER 16GB for the price of the 4060 Ti 8GB. That would have been a decent card. But it seems that the current 4060 Ti sells well enough for the company not to care.

[@theivadim]

And thanks for your kind feedback! I appreciate you watching my videos🤝🙂

[@lobiankk77]

@@theivadim Yeah, they could have made a 4060 Ti Super with 4608 cores (full AD106), 16GB of 20Gbps GDDR6, a higher clock speed and a power target of 180W for $399 and it would have been a decent product.

[@Fusion_Slayer]

the rog strix 4060ti 16gb is by far the BEST performing 4060ti gpu atleast imp mine is currently not stock and its slightly oced and optimizations have been made cpu paired is a 5800x3d and 32gb 3000mhz gskill ram CL16

[@jasonvors1922]

Ram sweet spot is 3200mhz or 3600mhz 💪

[@quacks69420]

in 1080p vram doesn't matter, but in modern and future games 1440p 4k vram matters specially in game stability no wild swings of fps 1% low

[@williehrmann]

It acutally does matter at 1080p. I couldn't play Farcry 6 with Hd Texture pack in 1080p on my 3070 because my fps went from 90 to 20-30 and textures don't affect performance at all. Also cyberpunk was unplayable in 1080p just because of 8 gb vram. The chip could do 70 fps with raytracing ultra but after 1-2 min it dropped to 20-30 fps because of vram. Same goes for Doom Eternal, Diablo 4 and many others. 8 gb is NOT enough for 1080p and hasn't been since 2021ish. Also 12 gb isn'T enough for 1440p that'S why i went for the 4070 ti super with 16 gb. And If I go for usage (not allocation) it uses about 11-12 gb in a lot of games. So you'd get stutters after some minutes again if you only had 12 gb of vram. Don't buy anything under 12 gb for 1080p and anything under 16 gb for 1440p.

[@juuglord8509]

@@williehrmann What were the readings without RT? Most of people who are looking at 8gb cards are the entry level buyers so RT performance probably doesn't bother them a great deal. Of course, if you're looking to buy anything midrange or above then absolutely steer clear of 8gb, but 3070 without RT shouldn't be putting up such lowly numbers when even a GTX 1060 with only 6gb of VRAM can do the job in Doom Eternal at around medium to high at 4k.

[@williehrmann]

@@juuglord8509 Sadly I didn't test without RT. Because the only reason I upgraded from 1070 to 3070 was rt. And when I realized I couldn't play with rt I sold it and waited for 4070 ti Super to play games again. But I've read that Rt takes about 1-2 gb more VRam. So that could well be. But a 3070 is a high midrange card and should well be capable of playing max settings with raytracing at 1080p and it was if it wasn't for lacking vram. When I start the game I got 70 fps, after 1-2 mins it dropped to 20. Always when vram creeped up full. In Doom eternal I could play sometimes with 100 fps then it just dropped to 30 and wouldn'T go up after 10 mins. It went on like that for every game, Watchdogs Legion also. Hitman 3. Every game would run at high fps für some minutes and then drop. That's a clear indication of vram issues. In a 3050 this would be acceptable. But 1080 p is already the lowest acceptable resolution today and a 3070 is a midrange card (people even say 1440p, which would never work with 8 gb of VRam). It can'T be that nvidia releases a high midrange card with a lot of rt performance that cant even play it in 1080p. They should have broought the 3070 with 10 gb and the 3080 with 12 from the beginning and everything would be fine.

[@gatsusagara6637]

If you look at hardware unboxed, digital foundary, daniel owens, and pcworld reviews you can see that it really depends on the game. 8gb card for a game like Hogwart's Legacy, Last of US part 1, RE4 remake etc would work, just not well. Some parts of the game might stutter or have greatly reduced textures loaded in game. The game might be streaming muddy looking textures all day long. If you don't play a lot of 1st person, eye candy games or have huge mods installed, then I guess 8gb vram for 1080p makes sense. What I don't get is why settle for a 300 dollar 8gb card when a 360 dollar 16gb card exist? I would pick the 7600xt 16gb over a 4060ti any day of the week. Even for truly entry level I rather pick up a rtx3060 12gb over a 4060 8gb.

[@danimayb]

@@williehrmann Textures can affect performance if they are big enough. If you use a bunch of high resolution textures for example they will bog down your GPU despite having enough Vram to store them, So a powerful enough GPU with enough Vram is needed in those situations to get the better outcome.

[@gatsusagara6637]

No. If I wanted RT for my games, I would go straight for a 4070. Playing at 1080p with RT on might look good for some games. Playing at 1440p high textures would generally look better for most games with or without RT. In fact, I rather have a 4060 with 16gb vram instead of a 4060ti with 8gb or a 400usd 4060ti 16gb that gets within arm's reach of a rx 7700xt.

[@theivadim]

If we're talking about using a 27-inch monitor then I too think that 1440p is the way to go. Decent 1440p monitors cost only $20-40 more so there is no big price barrier like there was in the past. If only there was a cheaper 12-16GB NVIDIA card to enable more people to experience 1440p. Hopefully, that'll happen with arrival of RTX 50 or 60 series.

[@gatsusagara6637]

@@theivadim yes I can see your point, I where I live, the 1080p monitors are pretty much nonexistent at reasonable prices. All the monitors I see that are priced decently are at 1440p and 4k resolutions. I honestly wished the entry level cards are all 12gb, and the 70's level card 16gb. I hate that every time I think about upgrading to a 4k monitor, Crypto mining or AI boon gets in the way. At this rate, I might as well sit at 1440p forever.

[@theivadim]

That's just life🙂 It'll never be the perfect time. 1440p is a good resolution anyway. I've used a 1440p 27-inch Gigabyte M27Q monitor for years and it was a good experience. 1440p is the sweetspot. 4K is still a bit of a luxury. But surprisingly, this year there are some nice budget 4K options out there as well. I'm currently using a $380 32-inch 144Hz VA MSI G321CU monitor. It even has USB-C port for display connection with 15W power delivery for a laptop. Works great because I switch between my desktop PC and MacBook Air all the time. That's a lot of features for such a modest price.

[@greenbeetless]

As long as they keep pushing driver support the arc a770 is the best bang for buck at the 300 price point. On the case of the 4060 I wouldn’t bother with the ti. You either go for the 4070 super or wait till next year when NVIDIA releases an entry level 50 series card.

[@theivadim]

It is wild how unpopular Intel GPUs are. I wonder how long it'll take them to shake the bad image they've earned. AMD is still battling with "AMD has bad drivers" stigma years later.🙂 Even though AMD's drivers are fine now.

[@mrman6035]

​​​@@theivadim my main reason to not buy an arc a770 is that the idle power draw is too high for me as electricity and summer heat are a bad combo here. I also want to play older games and Intel isn't prioritizing those older games from 2010s.

Already waited a long to time buy a new PC. Not everyone can just keep waiting and it would be pointless to buy a temporary card rn then go through the hassle of reselling it and getting a new card in a few months...
