THE NEW KING - Low Profile RTX 4060 Review

[@Swallowfire]

The Cyberpunk tests were done on game version 1.63 without the use of Ray Reconstruction, but GamersNexus only measured an 8% increase in performance. 14 × 1.08 = 15.12fps, so add a single fps to my numbers if you're considering running a game at under 20fps.

VERY happy to see it's not noisy! I had the same Zotac 1650 LP in my system and it would scream like a banshee when playing games (but to be fair rarely touched past 78C either). I then upgraded to the RTX A2000 which never made a peep, so that really spoiled me. As a result I was hesitant to upgrade again to this, but the much higher quality heatsink + additional fan seem to have been worth it.

[@MartinKrol]

Your a2000 made no sound? Mine is really annoying. I even got replacement fans and they still make the same sound. It's whiny.

[@BrucifyMe]

@@MartinKrol I can't help but think you got a bad bunch or something. I had two going in two PCs and never heard them. Sorry to hear that.

[@phillycheesetake]

If they make this exact PCB size with the following changes I'm sold; - AD106 with 4608 Cuda cores minimum (mobile "4070", actually a binned 4060ti) - 2x92mm heatsink option using standard fans with standard headers (remains within PCI bracket height) - shift the power connector to the "bottom" of the card (i.e. same orientation, same side, but towards the motherboard) I don't plan to build an SFF system, but I like small cards, good design, and I'm just sick of the trends towards ever bigger GPUs. I'd rather have an under-stressed mid-tier card which is inaudible, runs cool, and is powerful enough to give a good experience. That GPU sag is even a problem is just silly. Reinforced slots are silly. Having to dismount a GPU for transport is silly. Cases getting fatter to accommodate taller cards and their silly sleeved cables is silly. Less is more.

[@TotallySearch]

Low profile gpus are better for resale imo, so that's the only thing it has going for it

[@DanH11]

That would be a fantastic card if one of the AIBs would step up to make it. I settled for an Asus Dual in my quest for Ada Lovelace in a reasonable size. Didn't need *actual* low-profile so it's fine, but it was disappointing to see how bad the situation was when I was shopping around. Video cards are so laughably oversized these days and it's largely (no pun intended) for no good reason at all. Just excess for the sake of excess. Even my Asus Dual/two-fan cooler keeps the AD106 chip at barely over 70C while sustained max load.

[@redalcatel27]

The silverstone ML06E (7 liters) case is compatible with SFX psu and low profile gpu up to 175mm. The issue with this gpu is being longer than others LP gpu at185mm. Dont think it would even make sense to build a case based on a gpu. There are several cases you can get with this combination (HDplex + LP), (FLex + LP). Honestly this gpu only makes sense in certain scenarios.

[@namcojr]

This card is absolutely amazing. Okay, so you have to use Frame Generation and DLSS in some titles, but while playing the difference is nearly zero and you'll soon be enjoying an amazing 5L PC doing what your old 35L PC used to do. Smaller, more efficient, quieter... Oh amazing.

[@robertchristensen7950]

Bought the 3050 because i needed a low profile gpu that uses the pci power only, and will probably stick with it tell they get a gpu with a noticeable improvement. Having 32gb of ram also helps with game play. Rust sits at 22gb+ consistently.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

1:08 Such a silly little card🤭, three tiny fans instead of 2 that are as wide as the IO bracket and an absolutely overkill 8 Pin PCIe. Many 4070s also only have a single 8 pin, although it seems that the 6 pin PCIe has died out because I can't find any RTX 40 or RX 7000 card with a 6 pin PCIe, I suppose it's cheaper to just stock one connector instead of two these 8 pins might be rated for 150W but extreme overclockers draw 300+ watts from one without any issues, der8auer has mentioned this at this year's computex, these connectors are extremely stout, makes the 12VHPWR even more embarrassing

[@gerferies]

I am sorry, but what CPU did you use to capture the framerate?

[@xtraflo]

For Price to Performance, I got a Low Profile 3050 and plays most modern titles on High Settings at 1080p and supports DLSS and doesn't require additional power. Great little card!!

[@syferz]

6:45 The GTX 1060 was a 4.6TFLOPs GPU and matched the GTX 970 also ~4.5TFLOPs, not the GTX 980, which matched the GTX 1070.

[@BonusCrook]

Tflops is a metric that only ignorant console gamers use. Its not a stand-in for actual benchmarking.

[@syferz]

@@BonusCrook Maxwell and Pascal have the same IPC, the TFLOPs between these architectures are in line with the performance from them. You can use TFLOPs as a measurement if you know what you are doing, all this number means is the theoretical number of floating point operations the GPU makes in a second, but yes you are correct that you can't just use TFLOPs across very different architectures without understanding of how those architectures perform against each other. You can compare Pascal and Maxwell flops 1:1.

[@BonusCrook]

@@syferz yea, not really great to compare tflops other than similar architectures as you say.

[@monkeygod2501]

That's card is something else. I can never get use to low profile cards, I've used them in Dell work stations because I had to . Great Video Alex

[@TotallySearch]

The 4060 low profile kinda missed it's mark to sell this to the Dell SFF droids (not worth putting a gpu in those ticking limited bios/hardware failures if you ask me) for having a pin connector on it. You can still put it in a SFF but you need to use fire hazard adapters, I definitely wouldn't suggest it. But it's far from the worst gpu of decade, the 1630 is still horrible. $130 for a 2022 GPU that can't compete with the 1650 and it's huge too.

[@masterluckyluke]

The card's power draw is so low, there is no way it gets a heat problem. It's a standard 8-pin you find on every psu that is newer than 10 years or so. This card's power consumption and therefore heat might be comparable to the GTX 1060. It's not an 12VHPWR burn burn burn cable.^^

[@BonusCrook]

Dawid does tech stuff said to use a dual sata power to pcie 8 pin adapter, it'll only need to cover around 40W on this card.

[@GTRdeamon]

I have this card. Before that RTX A2000. in big sence, yes RTX 4060 is bad card. Exspensive, low Vram and slow compared to the rest of 4000 series. I know, i have a RTX 4090 as well. But lets take one step back and look at this card from another angel. Only from the perpective of low profile cards. RTX 4060 i signigficantly faster than RX 6400/GTX 1650 and has twice the Vram aviable. RTX 4060 is even almost twice as fast as RTX A2000 (based on A2000 is pretty much RTX 3050 performance) and if it´s the 6 GB vram A2000. RTX 4060 still has 2 GB vram more and cheaper and faster than a new RTX A200 and way cheaper that RTX 4000 SFF. In that perpective RTX 4060 low profile is not so bad in that picture. I am not saying it´s a good card in the whole picture. But for low profile choise i don´t see it as bad at least.

[@_shadow_1]

If only the RTX 4000 ada was cheaper. I believe it performs similarly to the 4060 lp in scenarios where there isn't a significant Vram bottleneck. The major advantage is that while doing so, it comes in standard lp specs and draws less than 75 watts (meaning no power cable).

[@alutzlft]

Alex, can you elaborate more on your davinci resolve test? what parameters and gpu effects do you use? Thank you.

[@charlesjmouse]

So... it's a pretty rubbish skew that may have only wound up in a LP form factor because the power draw makes that possible and otherwise there would have been an awful lot of unsold silicon at the outrageous price. Got it. I bought a new LP 1650GTX just before prices went really crazy and I still think I was robbed - never again! Thankfully I run emulators and play games from the days when new titles weren't unplayably buggy and actually fun. So I'll be getting my money's worth from the 1650 for a long time to come.

[@Swallowfire]

Honestly indie games from small teams are vastly more fun than AAA nowadays, and most of them run great on the Steam Deck, so I think your 1650 will do you just fine.

[@tormaid42]

[@SupremeODMG]

I just got an a2000 an receive it tomorrow super excited. I'm coming from rx6400 after having rx580 8gb best card I've had and 550x lp lol...

[@_shadow_1]

Unfortunately, the RTX 4060 lp won't work for everyone due to the requirement for a power connector, the nonstandard length, and the very limiting 8gbs of Vram which is already a problem with titles today and will only get worse as time goes on. If it wasn't 1000 dollars more expensive than an already badly priced card, the RTX 4000 ada would be the best card in all metrics except raw performance at stock (although hardware modding could change that).

[@Swallowfire]

Yeah the power connector is such an annoyance. I actually swapped the PSU in my Xbox PC because the old one didn't have an 8 pin. Same with the power supplies in Dell SFF PCs.

[@TotallySearch]

Imagine spending 1500 for a RTX 4000 just for it to get beaten by a 6800 XT. Brutal.

[@_shadow_1]

@TotallySearch The rtx 4000 sff also draws less than a third of the power while performing in a similar ballpark to the 6800xt and is a workstation card designed for continuous use under max load. As far as the silicon itself is concerned, the rtx 4000 sff is basically magic. However, efficiency and stability aren't worth the extreme difference in the price between the two for most use cases. It's also not a complete wipeout, but given the price, it can not be justified if gaming is what you're using it for.

[@BonusCrook]

Techpowerup shows the rtx 4000 SFF having 14 Gbps GDDR6...💀

[@_shadow_1]

​@@BonusCrook It's probably slower because it has ECC and because they prioritized stability and energy efficiency.

[@bumbaclot813]

Honestly say what you want about the 40 series but the fact they made a low profile 4060 is amazing. I think its awesome. Edit. I agree about starfield it seems like no matter the settings its weird and the way the game looks you would think for it to run better. Also this new update has made my fps lower but more consistent. Went from 60 to 90 indoors to 45 to 55. And 35 to 45 outside. Was getting 45 to 60 outdoors. But no stuttering.... a weird game for sure.

[@ZaBruhBn]

Even though this card can only put out good results on 1080p, every good monitor i have available can only get to 1080p. And i cant afford a good 1440p high refresh rate monitor, and a better high ish end gpu at the same time.

[@Swallowfire]

That's what I'm saying! I know tons of people who have relatively strong PCs connected to older monitors. Why get rid of a perfectly good 1080p monitor.

[@ZaBruhBn]

@@evrythingis1 considering what you said, if a ‘mid teir’ graphics card is 5 times more expensive than a high refresh rate 1440p monitor, and taking into account that THE cheapest 144hz 1440p monitor sales for around 170$ on amazon, that would make mid tier graphics cards 800$ and up. A 1080p 240hz monitor sales for around 140$ and a good 1080p gpu sales for around 350$ on average. So then whats the point of spending so much more for basically the same thing? ( i know 1440p and 1080p are diffeent, i just dont think the upgrade is worth it for the price.

[@A-a-ron01220]

I found for me starfield is very cpu intensive. I run a 11700F and a RTX 3070 and in quite a few areas its cpu bound(includes new atlantis). May explain why FSR did almost nothing for you. I even use the DLSS mod and it does about the same thing. I was hoping myself that 40 series could be a potential upgrade from my 3070 but id have to dish out 600 dollars just to gain 30% more performance. Really hoping 50 series or amd 8000 series will be worth upgrading to. Hoping for double performance around 500 bucks, alot to ask but im hopeful lol

[@Swallowfire]

Kinda astonishing a game can be so poorly optimised that it CPU bottlenecks a 13400F with a GPU as weak as the 4060.

[@masterluckyluke]

It's crazy, I want to build a HTPC and therefore need a low profile card. The 4060 is crap and this card especially is very expensive, but it is the only f****** low profile card in the whole world that can be used for gaming. There is not a single competitor to this card. I hate it, but it seems I have to buy it if I want to build this small form factor PC. I may wait a bit longer, but until now I didn't hear of any card in development that can compete with the 4060 low profile. It's so weird that no other company seems to care about it and Gigabyte can charge whatever money they want for this one.

Rtx 4060 .. but uses a ad107 sku ... a really, really low end sku ... the gtx 1050 uses a 107 sku .... The rtx 4060 is the direct evolution of rtx 3050. And that is actually an amazing upgrade. 165% raster performance boost in average . 120% retail price. The frame/$ was . 73% of the rtx 3050 . Another way to see it is . The rtx 3050 cost 80 % of rtx 4060 . Raster perf at 60% of rtx 4060 .

I honestly think if they'd priced it lower and called it the 4050 it would be wildly praised.

​​@@Swallowfirenvidia up-named their gpu lineup .. and so did amd. The rx 7800xt... isn't the evolution of rx 6800xt.. but rx6800 non xt. This rtx"4060", would be an absolute banger at 250$. ( retail price of rtx 3050) Yet even at 300 $ . The direct competition is rx 7600 . At 270 $. -Performance are broadly similar . -rtx4060 is dwarfing the rx7600 in raytracing performance. - dlss vs fsr.. Despite the 30$ increase. The rtx is a "good value " Because the rx7600 is a poor value to begin with. Tho that is personal but I would still go with the rtx4060 even I could get the rx6700xt for the same price. Because fsr looks bad. And even when using 1440p as the base resolution to upscale. Dlss will still be ahead. Amd that gap widens and widens the further we go down in resolution. Like; 720p dlss >>1440p will look drastically better than : 720 fsr >> 1440p And a bit better than: 1080p fsr >> 1440p I can't recommend the rx7800xt when for 50$ you get dlss and way better rt performance. Witht the rtx 4070 non ti. I can understand that some would want 20~25 % better raster with rx 6700xt. But I prefer to have a cleaner image output. I have seen a video comparing ( native 1080p vs native 1440p vs 1080p dlss>>4k) In every cases . Dlss 1080p >>4k outclassed even native 1440p for image quality 👁👄👁. ( not only in stills but in motion. I could genuinely use the rtx4060 on my 4k 60hz TV. Cap the framerate lower a bit some settings and still have better experience than xbox series x🥲.. I regret buying an Xbox. I was so glad to hear we were gonna get raytracing in cyberpunk 2077 on consoles... I should have known .. that reflections wasn't even turned . Legitimately the most noticeable and important features of raytracing....

Having it be 4050 Ti 8GB at 200 would have made gamers nexus cream his pants.

@@BonusCrook Tbf ,it would have been a pretty good deal ,if it was the case,that it

Calling 4060 the king of anything is just blasphemy
