The fact that Amazon deliver the graphics card without additional packaging and placed it at the door make this even better. It's bring "Who would steal this sh**" vibe.
amazon now has a little box that say "save packaging by using original shippers boxing" or some shyt like that, and its automatically set to that. So unless you scroll down and look for that box and switch it to "amazon packaging" it wont come with amazons extra packaging. I just went through this last night and was like wtf. Fucking scammers at amazon trying to save a buck , meanwhile CEO is a fucking billionair.
Na nowadays they don't put additional package and say the original box is gonna be revealed My extension cables and psu came without the amazon packaging But my AIO came with the amazon packaging 😅
It's still weird to me that refusing to even attempt making contact with the customer is the established norm in the US. "Porch piracy" would be SO EASY to prevent. I'd much rather pay a tip, than deal with that crap.
@cnk-fn3nr im a mail carrier. Every amazon package we deliever specifically says 'leave if no response" . So we have to leave it. Some carriers are dumb though and just throw shit on the ground. Alot of us though will at least try and hide the package behind a bush or pole next to the front door
@@ChairmanMeow1 Yeah. I have a 4060 laptop and I think it's just fine when paired with a good CPU. It's literally the most used RTX GPU according to steam, so how bad can it be?
they arent blaming the card for bad performance. But if u had already an 3060 f.e., the card isnt worth the money. Thats the main issue... I also just upgraded from an very old 1050, and the 4060 can play any game on market on max settings w/o any issues or lags. So its not a bad card itself. But bad in comparison with existing newer cards.
I have a similar story. Upgrading from 1050ti to rtx 3050 8gb to rtx 3060 12 gb to rtx 4060 ti 16gb. I am satisfied and dont need to follow the overall trend of maximum cards
For perspective, to those that may be too young to remember. In 2016, AMD Launched the RX 480 and RX 470. It launched along side Battlefield 1, which to this day, looks better, than some AAA games (cough, starfield) and still looks absolutely insane. The RX 470 was MARKETED as a 1080p, 60fps, MAX SETTINGS card in a game that didn't even launch yet, and set the standard for graphics fidelity in first person shooters. The 470 was also capable of getting 60 FPS at 1080p, max settings, in the witcher 3, probably the most demanding title at the time and was barely a year old. The RX 470 cost 179, and the RX 480 cost 199. Accounting for inflation, that would make them 230$ and 260$ respectively. The fact that a card for 299$ can't play a game like atmoic heart or the last of us at 1080p at 60 fps...even with NVIDIAS SUPPORT IN THOSE GAMES. Is sad. Its also sad that the card from the previous generation runs better most of the time... I won't even mention how in 2016 the RX 480 8GB at 230$ was marketed as a 1440p card...before 1440p even went mainstream....... And another problem...is the 3060ti costs around 250$ used....
Amd got overshadowed hard in that time period by the 10 series of nvidia. It wasn’t until the 20 series that they started to fall off again. Even the 1650 super and the 1660 super are still arguably great cards for the price. Right now you could get either for less than a hundred dollars used. It is insane that the 1080 ti is comparable to the 30 series cards.
Bro! I had the RX 480 and it was a fricking beast. I got a 3090 3 years ago and I gave my RX 480 to a friend and is still playing games on that card to this day. I was playing Resident Evil 2 Remake on High at 1440p 60fps. It could even run it at 4k 30 fps, that thing was insane, and it cost me 300 Canadian dollaroos. What a steal. Meanwhile I don't want to say how much my 3090 cost 😢
The RTX card cost a bit more because of the RTX features and power efficiency, which is why it's getting more popular than the AMD and possibly Intel Graphics card that are cheaper and offer same or more performance.

It is a terrible do not buy and forget about Nvidia since they forgot about gamers who helped build up that company.
The raytracing part always gets me. NVIDIA is marketing their cards as RTX so they can mark them up with less backlash, but only their higher end cards are powerful enough to even do it worth a damn.
@@starvader6604 It is playable on ray tracing high on my RTX 3060 laptop, which doesn't even support DLSS frame generation. So it should be more than fine on an RTX 4060.
all under 80ti/S or 90/ti/s is bad. They want that we buy at 80s up. They destroyed there own cards under 80. Maybe...they would destroy the gaming market for PC.
I'm still wondering why people care so much about raytracing? It barely does anything but has a huge impact on performance. In most games you can barely even tell the difference between ray tracing and no raytracing
You have to pay attention to the global lighting and path light, or reflective lights if you will and reflections. That's where RT is really noticeable. Dragons Dogma 2 ray tracing is so heavily integrated that it actually allows light to bounce INSIDE caves and causes a room to become brighter when white light is reflected on white colors in a room. Things like that. If you still don't notice, it's because you don't really care and don't notice these wonderful things in real life. Which is fine, to each their own. It also means you shouldn't have chimed in because we all know it heavily impacts performance. Shadows and Lighting are THE most taxing on any machine. It used to be Anti-Aliasing and like that, RT will eventually be less taxing.
AD107 is a 50-class chip. In fact, all of the 4000 cards (except maybe the "4090") are shifted by 1-2 tiers than they SHOULD be. This entire generation is a major skip.
It's goes like this what the cards actually are Rtx 4060 = Rtx 4050 Rtx 4060 ti 8gb/16gb = Rtx 4050 ti Rtx 4070 = Rtx 4060 Rtx 4070 super = Rtx 4060 super Rtx 4070 ti = Rtx 4060 ti Rtx 4070 ti super = Rtx 4070 Rtx 4080 = Rtx 4070 Super Rtx 4080 super = Rtx 4070 ti(barely)
I wanted to point this out. It is that on 60 series cards, you typical get the higher end of a budget gaming card. The 1060 6GB is a really good example. Awesome card $200. But they wanted to charge $300 for the card and they cant do that calling it a 4050 or 4050ti as those cards generally run from $100-$160. Who is going to buy a card with a perceived value of $150 for $300? So, it essence, it is a scam. Nvidia used their naming conventions to fool you.
exactly not many talking about the low power for same level performance. like you said, the price is the biggest issue. if they would have released this at a fair price, it would be in every budget pc
How the fuck it 3060 level of performance??? Even on techpowerup it 18% faster than 3060, the 3060 is only 16% than 2060! Lol! It even when you doesn't consider frame generation! So 3060 is on the performance of 2060? Also 3060 got hyped to much just because of vram that it can't utilize, every sencerio where 3060 exceeds 12gb of vram it get unplayable fps any way.
@@789uio6yFair, but the RTX 3060 should be great if you do both gaming and demanding work tasks that need lots of VRAM like Rendering and Machine Learning.
3060 is on average a bit slower, yes but most of the time its only 5-10% slower which ends up making no difference in your enjoyment in games. Also the 3060 has a much wider 192-bit bus meaning it will perform much better in memory intensive games or at high resolutions than the 4060 (128-bit). Frame generation can only be confortably used at 50-60+fps so its not really a feature you are going to use much on the 4060. Also Frame Generation adds an average of 200-400 mb of vram usage when you anable it, so memory limited cards like the 4060 might not even be able to use it if the game requires high ammounts of memory. Any card that exceeds its vram gets unplayable, doesnt matter if its a gtx 1050 or and rtx 4090. The 3060 can have 50% more things loaded onto memory before swapping to ram than the 4060, which in games means you will be able to have much better texture quality and effects than on the 4060.@@789uio6y
I just ordered a 4070 Super from Amazon and got it routed to a pickup locker because I've seen them package GPU's like that. It actually came in a box, but the CPU came in a box too, but automatically required a "signature" to receive. No one might ever read this but I there it is hahaha

0:57 In regards to the Amazon packaging issue, Amazon has actually made it so that some items are shipped in their bare boxes by default to reduce packaging waste. At the check out, there should be an option ro ship with or without Amazon packaging, and the with packaging option even has in parentheses "hide what's inside". As far as I know this should be free, but results may vary? Make sure you toggle this option when buying valuable/expensive stuff.
@@chrisschneider-hl6ip That's been my experience too. Get an item that comes packaged, and they put the already packaged item in a box so oversized, that the cardboard outweighs the product lol. Blows my mind they haven't invested in some kind of robo-wrappers that could wrap boxes of an arbitrary size in plain brown paper. The robots would no doubt be expensive, but in the long term it would have to save on boxes, and they could no doubt tout it as a "green" move to reduce waste. lol
Amazon did not leave your 4060 box bare on your doorstep... The original cardboard box was actually discarded by the porch thief, who later brought back your gpu, when he discovered it was a 4060. True story. I was that thief. 😒
I decided on the 4060 almost purely based on its efficiency. This card comes close to my older 2080 Super in so many situations, while using less than half the power. I also still have only 1080p displays. Great video
Yeah, I'm not willing to buy a new screen and anything better than the 4060 would require a new cpu+psu. I'm happy with my card and I'm just looking for some fun in my spare time, not to play my life away in a space station
@@caustictoad People complain about it costing 300€/$ yet it uses 50W less then the 3060. So 20h = 1kWH which is like 0.10 - 0.40 €/$ depending on country. If you live in Europe the lower energy consumption is absolutely worth the price of the card as long as the 4060 is an upgrade to your current card and not just a replacement for something like the 3060.
The 4060 holds a special place in my heart. Been with it for a few months now, up from an RX 580. It's serving well enough to hold me until I can get my hands on something tanky. When I retire it, it'll join my RX 580 on a shelf as part of the journey. It's a rough part, but it holds, does the job, and will keep at it with all of its little heart.
In summation, you'll be satisfied if you expect anywhere between 2-5x the performance. That's GPU alone, though, not sure about the rest of your set-up(s).

I WAS IN THAT THREAD! i was assuring to the guy though. told him not to let people get him down cause a new gpu is a new gpu. he was upgrading from something realllllly old anyways, so it was an actual upgrade for him. Plus it was the best he could afford so i just told him to go play and enjoy some games. 45-50 fps isnt optimal, but it is playable for single player. I remember being extremely poor and having to game on systems not meant for it. deleting textures out of game files and still only getting 26 fps... first gaming pc played skyrim at 48 fps and i loved skyrim. played it on that system for years before my first prebuilt. Budget gaming... its allot of compromises. if you dont have the money, sometimes you have to take what you can get. thankfully theres allot of optimizations in the Modder scene. Remember to always dl afterburner and look up oc guides on YT! keep your hardware longer regaurdless of how good/bad it is!
If you were actually there, that thread was months old. The problem and still the issue is he could've spent 49$ dollars more for 30% to 50% improvement. Now cards are even cheaper and The 4060 is just priced even more wrong aginst other cards... very wrong... get a 4060 super or 4070 ti for the same price or slighter higher (all depends on brand and If it's used)

Intel and AMD exists. I just built a new rig with an intel Arc A770 16gb and with the latest drivers I'm able to play every game I own in ultra 1440p with atleast 60 fps. The card only cost me $289 to boot!
Productivity and power consumption is the main reason I keep going back and researching about 4060. I love AAA title games. Playing at 1440p with great graphics is more than enough for me. I only wish it was priced at 200-250usd

@@treyyyweiips9487 Honestly. I don't even own a monitor above 60hz and I don't particularly care about getting one. I gamed happily at 30fps or below for years.
When I saw laptop with 4050 on my local market and also tiny low profile 4060, it instantly flash my mind that Nvidia relegate 50 series to laptop and mobile stuff and 60 series become the new entry level on desktop.
saddly it's looking like nvida may repeat the 4000 series with the 5000 series . the 5080 and 5090 will be damn nice and expensive .. while the 5070 will again be gimped with just 12gb vram , and the 5060 will be gimped with just 8 gb vram.
You can have that performance (even a bit better) since like 2 years with 12 gb vram. its the 6700 xt GPU that goes for 300¨$. there was no reason to buy a 4060 for 400$ at any point lol. i think they dont change the way they move.
Basically the improvement from samsung 8nm to tsmc 4nm was huge, but rather than distribute that benefit throughout the lineup they gave the most of it to the high end cards, and used as small of a die size as they could get away with for the lower end cards, to my understanding. The 4060's die size is so small, it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually cheaper to make than the 3060, even being a newer node and all. So the 4060 in the end is like a 60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance. Great video Vex! I enjoy your "conversational" style of videos..
“60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance” It does make me wonder if anyone tried overclocking this card. What if we could give it the same wattage as a 3060?
@@TheMamaluigi300 Every architecture has an ideal voltage curve, and it's usually a diminishing gain the higher you go. If it would even allow you to pump the wattage up that much, you wouldn't get a huge gain. Think of it like how the intel 14900ks uses like 400w but it's 5% faster than a 12900 at 200w
LOL-- like a few others, I only just upgraded to the RTX 4060. BUT it is certainly an upgrade from the GTX 1660 and finally I'm able to play games in 4K. So, I think I'll be satisfied for awhile all the same.
I was in the same starting spot (GTX 1660) and the only reason I finally chose the 3060 instead of the 4060 was due to some work I need to do with small AI models, were those extra 4gb of ram can make some major difference. But for a pure gaming perspective, the 4060 would have been my choice specially for frame generation on top on DLAA/DLSS.
Upgraded from 1660ti to rtx4060. Rtx3060 was like $310, and rtx4060 at $330 that was within my budget. Rx7600 was priced near $320 lowest but i skipped it because my psu is only 450w. So its not an issue with rtx4060. And rx6700xt was $400 in my country which was significantly over my budget and i would have also needed to upgrade psu for that. So i guess it was a fair choice to go with the rtx4060. I play on 1080p monitor so its not an issue and also run dlss quality mode if the game has good implementation. Can't tell much of a difference unless i really look for it. Sometimes its even better. I played horizon zero dawn and dlss fixed the foliage shimmering that it had with taa.
Exactly same situation updated from 1660 super 4060 was the best choice for me price in my country power consumption new gen ... why would i want higher vram 3060 or 3060 ti when i only play 1080 at high with dlss 3 support i can run 99%
Just compare the die size of the 2060 (445mm) to the 4060 (159mm) and that will tell you what you need to know. That doesn’t even include the bus width shrinking as well from 192 to 128 bit. Nvidia took a 4050 and renamed it to a 4060 and jacked up the price. If you bought a 4060 you were tricked and I feel for you.
2060 was made on an old processs node wasn't very well received, it actually had a nice performance bump but also +100$ MSRP. 3060 was also built on cheap but bad Samsung node. Why don't you compare it to 1060's 200mm die?
@@0M0rty Because 1060 was built before ray tracing and tensor cores was a thing, if you add extra ray tracing cores and tensor core to 1060 die it would be over 400mm in size

Got a msi 4060 on sale and with a gift card, bringing it to 220. Honestly it's a pretty good card. With top end cards going for 900-1500. A 300 dollar GPU is budget.
i mean my last graphics card was an RTX 1660 super, and now i got the 4060 for my new build. As long as I can play at 1080p on most games with a 60+ fps average, I can happily say it runs like a beast compared to my last lol
It's kinda wild, because when people care about a 3-5 fps difference, but realistically if you just didn't pay attention... no one would know. That card runs everything on ultra for me, and i have no complaints
I picked up the RTX 4060 for my dedicated stream pc, strictly for the NVENC encoder and its ability to encode in AV1. Works great for that particular use case.
It's really weird that no one around here seems to mention the Intel Arc A770 which is about the same price now and thanks to matured drivers runs laps around the 4060 in performance and ray tracing and with it's 16GB VRAM scales excellently to any resolution. The only thing that NVIDIA has going for them at that price point is power efficiency, which is not a big concern for gamers.
Arc drivers improved a lot but I wouldn't call them matured. There are issues in some games. You can't speedrun development in the graphics industry when your competition has been on it for decades. But in that short time they did a really good job.
@@v5k456jh3 yeah and I ain't got cash to throw away to help a multi billion dollar company to develop there product so currently i will stick with Nvidea for lower tier and AMD for middle and Nvidea for higher tier....
Exactly. Because these brainwashed and gullible customers are still stuck in 2022, back when the drivers were messed up. Also, the first generation of a product line is always going to have some issues, it's only natural. If the Battlemage series goes well, it's very likely that Intel will take a huge chunk of the market share in the next 2 years.
Intel ARC A770 16gb is a far better value in my opinion. Bought one in December, and it's been fantastic. No problem running games at ultra settings in 1440p and even full 4k on low to medium settings depending on the game. But I would highly suggest it if you only have $300 for a GPU as it comes in at $299. I get 130+fps a 160hz at 1440p on my Ultrawide LG monitor and 60-80 at 4k 60hz on my TV playing on dayz... will only get better with a higher refresh rate. Don't listen to the nay sayers, these Intel Cards are not bad.
Thanks for the video dude. Clarified a lot for me. About to make my own and very first build, and as an outsiders of the subject, GPUs brand, models and specifications were hard to choose. I am going to get this card for the reason you showed in 14:19 ; the way I think I want to game. Your conclusions were my searches. Neither care in rolling max fps and max res/quality, nor competing to see who has the better machine. Just want to have acceptable image and acceptable performance for the few games that I care (that to be honest doesn't require that much). When the right time comes for decisive upgrades, I change.

Nothing wrong with 128 bit buses, the problem is when the VRAM capacity per chip is low. If GDDR6 had mass produced 4GB chips, then 128 bit bus cards would have 16GB of VRAM it would be great, instead the volume of 4GB GDDR6 chips is very low and we get 8GB cards. Bandwidth-wise again we just need faster memory.
It wouldn't be, if competition was a thing in the productivity space -- or just the GPU space in general. Even the 7800xt vs 4070(S) "battle" was more like a pillow fight, than anything with actual stakes.
its interesting how people just assume 4060 is a bad gpu cuz its the lowest tier, ive got a 3060 which is a little worse and i play anything i want on it , i used it for 4k 60fps, and now im using it for 1440p 170hz, and if u just lower ur standards and use enough DLSS and play on medium settings, you can play anything even on 4k
I totally get if somebody was to buy a 4060 and had a 3060 already I wouldn't personally think that is money well spent, but there has been some pretty good deals on the all hated prebuilts with a 4060 in them and being as I play on a 60 hz 4k tv it works out pretty good 4 me,, when the 8gb vram won't cut it im putting a 4070s in it till the 12 won't lol

What's weird is I bought a 2060 KO in 2020 for $300 MSRP. One of the cheapest cards I could buy, and it absolutely felt worth my money. Still been sporting it to this day (though I am just building a new computer in the next couple weeks) and it's played everything I wanted to, maybe not at 1440p 120fps, but everything has played at an acceptable framerate, a handful of games have allowed me to enable ray tracing, I've been able to play VR and work in Blender and Maya pretty well too. It's been an absolute champ of a card. To see people trash all over the 4060 has left me very confused. It's a better card, no? $300 has been their bottom end bar for a long time, unless you wanted a GT710 or GT1030 for like $50. It's the same card I bought but 2 generations newer. It's a better card than what I paid $300 for 4 years ago. Some folks cant afford a cent more for a GPU. If someone ends up with a 4060, no shame. It's gonna last you awhile, especially has graphical fidelity and improvements slow. Nothing like the 2000s and early 2010s. A 4060 will last you 5+ years if you're smart about it.
The one and only thing that I'll give the 40 series lineup kudos for is their power efficiency. Goddamn is it fucking impressive, but I wouldn't doubt it having to do with how small the memory buses are
Thanks bud! Lovely video. Just picked this card up for AI. Stable Diffusion. It works just as good or better than the Titan X Maxwell unit that I have. Your video was perfect and explained to me the entire situation with this card, thanks! As far as AI goes, there seems to be zero issues on my side. ^_^ Thanks again for the video! Commenting and subbing to support
interesting i have an rtx 4060 w/ ryzen 5 5600x, no issues, love the rtx ai features, i dont play CB2077 but i do play tarkov, siege, pubg, cod wz, and no issues all of them excluding tarkov runs at 144fps locked
9 months ago i upgraded from gtx 1050 3gb laptop to rtx 4060 desktop and i don't know what people in the comments are talking about ! i used to play apex legends "my favorite game" with low settings at 1600 x 900 and my fps barely hit 60 and constantly drop to 50 40 fps during fights and ults and now i hit constant 165fps with high settings at 1080p ! i don't care what people say, for me its more than enough and I'm happy with it :)
just got a 1440p external monitor and 4060 laptop recently, loving it so far. I know 8gb vram in modern games might not be enough but just dropping the texture quality fixes vram usage in most cases and lets be honest even if it had higher vram RT would be smoother but still not 60+ fps so realistically no one is going to sacrifice fps for RT that sometimes isn't even that noticeable. I got a great deal on the 4060 and I'm happy.
I bought a prebuilt cyberpower from costco with a 4060 right after they come out and was literally having buyers remorse while enjoying it lol ( how dumb is that?). When the 8gb vram becomes an issue I will throw the 4070 super in it and be good till 12 ain't enough lol. Enjoy that laptop my friend.
i literally played cyberpunk on ultra settings with max ray tracing and frame gen at 90-100 fps solid, and you know what? the delay isn't even noticeable with reflex enabled. so wow handicapping a card of its specialty seems such a good idea for a fair analysis
This 100%, talk smack about the card all you want, but not using a feature specific to the 4000 series card that massively improves the performance and usability of this card just seems disingenuous in a review video.
It's ridiculous how a couple of reviewers online can sway the opinions of the collective gaming community into a wrong direction. There's nothing wrong with the RTX 4060. It's not a bad product. It's an improvement over the previous generation in terms of cost/performance ratio. That's all that matters. Just because it wasn't a monumental leap forward doesn't justify people acting like it was a huge step backwards instead. Because it wasn't.
@@clhk12 I think all of those cards would do 1080p 60 just fine? I have a 3060 12GB and I've never ran into a game that wasn't fine at 1440p60 even. Granted I never played Alan Wake 2, perhaps it's horrendously optimised.
i won't because the 4090 these days is a 1080p card at max settings in games like Alan Wake 2 - without upscale or glitchy fake frames - so it should be a $130 card. 4080/s performance level should cost 100 bucks because its all that actually is. and for 1000 bucks GPUs should run MODERN games at max settings @8k 120fps+
the last 8 years nv milked the market with 0 progress hardware instead of actually doing progress. if you compare $600 1080 to $600 4070 super its just x2,5 times faster after 8 YEARS. even $2000 4090 is just x4 faster. according to the Moore's law it should be x16 for the same $600. thats when totally ignoring better architectures and software.
Yes, they are great for that, but for people with way more money, they get an A2000 for sff builds primarily focused on workstation tasks, but these pro cards can play games surprisingly well, and they have much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch longer support from nvidia than their consumer-grade cards, without mentioning that they are extremely optimized for efficiency, they just consume crazy low amounts of power and generate almost no heat. I remember an RTX 8000 could do the same or in some loads the double than a 3090 using less than half the power of a 3090. As much as I have to agree nvidia is greedy, their professional cards are really, really well made and built impeccably, the super long software support for drivers and improvements also are very attractive.
Im upgrading from a GTX 1650 to the RTX 4060. That is, beacause ive seen comparaisons of the RTX 3060 and RTX 4060 on the games I play, and the RTX 4060 performs better. But, since im upgrading from a gtx 1650 which wasnt that good, anything better than that will be great.
I'm sorry to say that coming from a 750ti means you'd feel the same way about pretty much any card you upgrade to.. Still that's a nice upgrade, enjoy it :)
If you posted this on reddit: You:I got a new gpu! Reddit mfs:YOUR GPU SUCKS,YOU DID THE WORST TBING YOU HAVE EVER DONE TO A PC!!!!!! (Not making fun of you btw)
I think your 4060 has a hardware problem because I have an msi 4060 and in the cyberpunk game in 1080 with high quality and ray tracing medium without path tracing I have about 105 fps
i have been playing Cyberpunk with a 3050 msi and im having a playable perfomance with raytracing at ultra or even psycho. just bought the 4060 and im eager to try it out. Have you been overclocking:
Yeah I think dude has a zotac? Who tf uses that brand?? I hate these videos cause they 4060 but buy it from a brand no one else would use for their build.
Really?! i also using zotac version and i keep thinking its having hardware issue. coz its felt like its perform lower than my GTX 1660 ti. could you tell how much fps on some games you playing??
All cards can run FSR3, which is really lovely for older gen users, as NVIDIA would never make that happen. Expect the same with Blackwell. If they make an even more efficient DLSS they will make it exclusive to make you buy the newest overpriced gen.
Anyone watching, buy the Intel Arc A750. I have one in my second PC, and I haven't had any issues for the last couple drivers. Great price for performance.
@@Josephweinerrthats because all the new 3060s that are left are dead stock thats overpriced. Old cards should not be compared by their new prices. 🤦♂️
upgraded from a 1050 Ti to a 4060, and the difference was astounding. I never knew graphics could look this good in games. Additionally, I'm not sure why, but I'm consistently getting over 100fps on most games you've tested on this video, even with ray tracing though needed the frame generation enabled. What really amaze me is that the power consumption is very low
You are right. Leave the haters, they are showing suboptimal settings to make it look bad. I had 4090 desktop and sold it after i finished few games and now im on 4060 laptop and it smokes anything on 1080p.
i think its the fact that certain cards are different versions in terms of having different vram amounts or clock speeds or even if theyre overclocked or not. sometimes theyre even oem versions with weird fans, so idk. i say get a ti with 16gb
I have a 4060 and except the idle wattage hardware flaw meaning a false minimum reading of 53 watts is always shown I didn't have much of an issue with it playing games at 1080p. But then I upgraded from an ancient GTX560 and the 4060 was on Amazon deal for 270 so seemed like a good buy.
It is a good buy at that price. It's an ok card with a too-fat pricetag. I think nvidia are trying to avoid releasing really good cards because if a card is too good people hang on to them for years without consooming new product. Remember the 8800 GTX?
@@snipermagoo Lol yeah I actually had the card under that the 8800GT around then it was a workhorse I remember getting a second for SLI and they lasted me till I got a GTX470 which had a memory fail leading to getting the GTX560.
@@changeagent228 I actually had two in SLI and I didn't realize the factory settings were just a fixed 25% fan speed, but since they ran hot so well I didn't realize the issue until they burnt out. One died and the other was damaged and would lock up at high heat. That damaged card still worked when I replaced it about 2014. Absolute unit.
Why would I buy anything better than the 4060 if I have a cpu bottleneck and a 1080p 60hz monitor? I had a 750ti paired with a r5 4600g and the 4060 was the absolute best I could get. Solid 60fps at 1080p in any game at max settings.
I upgraded from a 1070 and I went from not being able to play newer games to maxing them out on a 1440p monitor with less noise and lower power consumption (didn't need to upgrade my PSU). It's a huge win imo
I have a 4060 and it does what I need for gaming and other gpu heavy tasks without breaking the bank - so I am quite happy with it. It all about setting real expectations and knowing what you need for your PC
4060 is just a badge-creeped 4050ti. Last gen, the real 3060 was the 3060ti, and this gen the real 4060 is the 4070. HOWEVER, if this card was 230-250$ instead of 300-330$, it wouldn’t matter what it’s called because it would’ve been excellent price/perf. It’s effectively a RTX2080 that pulls 115W. This is the best card the SFF market has seen in years. It’s just about 20% overpriced imo.
Tip for anyone ordering on amazon. Make sure you tick in the box that says if you preferred them to ship your product in amazon box. Avoids the likely scenario where they just slap a label on your product and ship it like in this video
Nvidia should be ashamed. That card's barely as good as an APU. For price comparison, a GTX 1080 TI with 11GB RAM can be snagged from ebay used for under $150.00. I'm using one right now and I'm getting 60+ fps at 4K for most titles. Some newer games I have to run the upscaling because the native 4K is too much for it. The upscaling tech is great now so it still looks like 4K and runs very smooth. Rarely do I drop down to 1440 or 1080, but if I do, the FPS is well over 100 for everything. F*ck ray tracing. If you need ray tracing I guess look for a 2080 ti used. Ignorance is costly and computer component manufacturers have been milking that cow for decades.
Idk how people are complaining I was stuck with a 2060 for 4 years until my computer died, and I that it did a good job, let alone the 4060. Also not everything has to be raytracing the polygons won’t kill you.
You know what will fix this? Continuing to exclusively buy nvidia products. We deserve this. This is our doing, this is our bed, now we will sleep in it.
@@MicahDaRhuler 4070 Super or the new Ti Super would be a better choice tbh. Nvidia for some reason just cuts out half of VRAM in their GPUs. AMD on the other hand does not. And this isn’t fanboy related, or even that I’m a fan of AMD.
I just got this card and I really don't see what all the whining is about. Is it the absolute best card on the market? No, but at $400CAD, it's fantastic. I'm going from a 1660 Ti with no DLSS capabilities to being able to max out (or nearly) on all of my games at still rock well over 60fps, whereas I had to play a lot of my games on much lower settings before. At least the ones that weren't on GeForce Now. I've been very happy with this card.
The fact that Amazon deliver the graphics card without additional packaging and placed it at the door make this even better. It's bring "Who would steal this sh**" vibe.
The RTX 4060 is so bad, not even porch pirates want to steal it.
amazon now has a little box that say "save packaging by using original shippers boxing" or some shyt like that, and its automatically set to that. So unless you scroll down and look for that box and switch it to "amazon packaging" it wont come with amazons extra packaging. I just went through this last night and was like wtf. Fucking scammers at amazon trying to save a buck , meanwhile CEO is a fucking billionair.
Na nowadays they don't put additional package and say the original box is gonna be revealed
My extension cables and psu came without the amazon packaging
But my AIO came with the amazon packaging 😅
It's still weird to me that refusing to even attempt making contact with the customer is the established norm in the US.
"Porch piracy" would be SO EASY to prevent. I'd much rather pay a tip, than deal with that crap.

they arent blaming the card for bad performance. But if u had already an 3060 f.e., the card isnt worth the money.
Thats the main issue...
I also just upgraded from an very old 1050, and the 4060 can play any game on market on max settings w/o any issues or lags.
So its not a bad card itself. But bad in comparison with existing newer cards.

I have a similar story. Upgrading from 1050ti to rtx 3050 8gb to rtx 3060 12 gb to rtx 4060 ti 16gb. I am satisfied and dont need to follow the overall trend of maximum cards
For perspective, to those that may be too young to remember.
In 2016, AMD Launched the RX 480 and RX 470. It launched along side Battlefield 1, which to this day, looks better, than some AAA games (cough, starfield) and still looks absolutely insane.
The RX 470 was MARKETED as a 1080p, 60fps, MAX SETTINGS card in a game that didn't even launch yet, and set the standard for graphics fidelity in first person shooters.
The 470 was also capable of getting 60 FPS at 1080p, max settings, in the witcher 3, probably the most demanding title at the time and was barely a year old.
The RX 470 cost 179, and the RX 480 cost 199. Accounting for inflation, that would make them 230$ and 260$ respectively.
The fact that a card for 299$ can't play a game like atmoic heart or the last of us at 1080p at 60 fps...even with NVIDIAS SUPPORT IN THOSE GAMES. Is sad.
Its also sad that the card from the previous generation runs better most of the time...
I won't even mention how in 2016 the RX 480 8GB at 230$ was marketed as a 1440p card...before 1440p even went mainstream.......
And another problem...is the 3060ti costs around 250$ used....
oh my god I knew AMD released some absolute bangers but I didn't know they released bangers THAT GOOD??
Amd got overshadowed hard in that time period by the 10 series of nvidia. It wasn’t until the 20 series that they started to fall off again. Even the 1650 super and the 1660 super are still arguably great cards for the price. Right now you could get either for less than a hundred dollars used. It is insane that the 1080 ti is comparable to the 30 series cards.
@@delayedplayerI gave my 480 to my friend so we can play helldivers 2. It runs at like 40 fps native res, on an 8 year old midrange card.

Meanwhile I don't want to say how much my 3090 cost 😢
The RTX card cost a bit more because of the RTX features and power efficiency, which is why it's getting more popular than the AMD and possibly Intel Graphics card that are cheaper and offer same or more performance.

@@demogaming8895 yes very correct lol. but once you do notice it its hard to not play with it and thats all im getting at man.
You have to pay attention to the global lighting and path light, or reflective lights if you will and reflections. That's where RT is really noticeable. Dragons Dogma 2 ray tracing is so heavily integrated that it actually allows light to bounce INSIDE caves and causes a room to become brighter when white light is reflected on white colors in a room. Things like that. If you still don't notice, it's because you don't really care and don't notice these wonderful things in real life. Which is fine, to each their own. It also means you shouldn't have chimed in because we all know it heavily impacts performance. Shadows and Lighting are THE most taxing on any machine. It used to be Anti-Aliasing and like that, RT will eventually be less taxing.
@@leowildemusicyou took it too personally my guy. gaming isn't one's whole life that they would spend whole day to look for realistic lighting.

exactly not many talking about the low power for same level performance.

Also 3060 got hyped to much just because of vram that it can't utilize, every sencerio where 3060 exceeds 12gb of vram it get unplayable fps any way.
@@789uio6yFair, but the RTX 3060 should be great if you do both gaming and demanding work tasks that need lots of VRAM like Rendering and Machine Learning.
3060 is on average a bit slower, yes but most of the time its only 5-10% slower which ends up making no difference in your enjoyment in games. Also the 3060 has a much wider 192-bit bus meaning it will perform much better in memory intensive games or at high resolutions than the 4060 (128-bit). Frame generation can only be confortably used at 50-60+fps so its not really a feature you are going to use much on the 4060. Also Frame Generation adds an average of 200-400 mb of vram usage when you anable it, so memory limited cards like the 4060 might not even be able to use it if the game requires high ammounts of memory. Any card that exceeds its vram gets unplayable, doesnt matter if its a gtx 1050 or and rtx 4090. The 3060 can have 50% more things loaded onto memory before swapping to ram than the 4060, which in games means you will be able to have much better texture quality and effects than on the 4060.@@789uio6y

As far as I know this should be free, but results may vary?
Make sure you toggle this option when buying valuable/expensive stuff.

Or it repeats the same 8GB 128 bit-bus or it will increase the price to 349$ or 399$ knowing Nvidia.
You can have that performance (even a bit better) since like 2 years with 12 gb vram. its the 6700 xt GPU that goes for 300¨$. there was no reason to buy a 4060 for 400$ at any point lol. i think they dont change the way they move.
Basically the improvement from samsung 8nm to tsmc 4nm was huge, but rather than distribute that benefit throughout the lineup they gave the most of it to the high end cards, and used as small of a die size as they could get away with for the lower end cards, to my understanding. The 4060's die size is so small, it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually cheaper to make than the 3060, even being a newer node and all. So the 4060 in the end is like a 60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance. Great video Vex! I enjoy your "conversational" style of videos..
“60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance”
It does make me wonder if anyone tried overclocking this card. What if we could give it the same wattage as a 3060?
@@TheMamaluigi300 Every architecture has an ideal voltage curve, and it's usually a diminishing gain the higher you go. If it would even allow you to pump the wattage up that much, you wouldn't get a huge gain. Think of it like how the intel 14900ks uses like 400w but it's 5% faster than a 12900 at 200w
LOL-- like a few others, I only just upgraded to the RTX 4060. BUT it is certainly an upgrade from the GTX 1660 and finally I'm able to play games in 4K. So, I think I'll be satisfied for awhile all the same.
I was in the same starting spot (GTX 1660) and the only reason I finally chose the 3060 instead of the 4060 was due to some work I need to do with small AI models, were those extra 4gb of ram can make some major difference. But for a pure gaming perspective, the 4060 would have been my choice specially for frame generation on top on DLAA/DLSS.
Upgraded from 1660ti to rtx4060. Rtx3060 was like $310, and rtx4060 at $330 that was within my budget. Rx7600 was priced near $320 lowest but i skipped it because my psu is only 450w. So its not an issue with rtx4060. And rx6700xt was $400 in my country which was significantly over my budget and i would have also needed to upgrade psu for that. So i guess it was a fair choice to go with the rtx4060. I play on 1080p monitor so its not an issue and also run dlss quality mode if the game has good implementation. Can't tell much of a difference unless i really look for it. Sometimes its even better. I played horizon zero dawn and dlss fixed the foliage shimmering that it had with taa.
Exactly same situation updated from 1660 super 4060 was the best choice for me price in my country power consumption new gen ... why would i want higher vram 3060 or 3060 ti when i only play 1080 at high with dlss 3 support i can run 99%

It's really weird that no one around here seems to mention the Intel Arc A770 which is about the same price now and thanks to matured drivers runs laps around the 4060 in performance and ray tracing and with it's 16GB VRAM scales excellently to any resolution. The only thing that NVIDIA has going for them at that price point is power efficiency, which is not a big concern for gamers.

@@ravijotsingh7831says who never owned an Intel GPU. They're fine right now, but there's always room for improvement.
Exactly. Because these brainwashed and gullible customers are still stuck in 2022, back when the drivers were messed up. Also, the first generation of a product line is always going to have some issues, it's only natural. If the Battlemage series goes well, it's very likely that Intel will take a huge chunk of the market share in the next 2 years.
Intel ARC A770 16gb is a far better value in my opinion. Bought one in December, and it's been fantastic. No problem running games at ultra settings in 1440p and even full 4k on low to medium settings depending on the game. But I would highly suggest it if you only have $300 for a GPU as it comes in at $299. I get 130+fps a 160hz at 1440p on my Ultrawide LG monitor and 60-80 at 4k 60hz on my TV playing on dayz... will only get better with a higher refresh rate.

Nothing wrong with 128 bit buses, the problem is when the VRAM capacity per chip is low. If GDDR6 had mass produced 4GB chips, then 128 bit bus cards would have 16GB of VRAM it would be great, instead the volume of 4GB GDDR6 chips is very low and we get 8GB cards.

What's weird is I bought a 2060 KO in 2020 for $300 MSRP. One of the cheapest cards I could buy, and it absolutely felt worth my money. Still been sporting it to this day (though I am just building a new computer in the next couple weeks) and it's played everything I wanted to, maybe not at 1440p 120fps, but everything has played at an acceptable framerate, a handful of games have allowed me to enable ray tracing, I've been able to play VR and work in Blender and Maya pretty well too. It's been an absolute champ of a card.
To see people trash all over the 4060 has left me very confused. It's a better card, no? $300 has been their bottom end bar for a long time, unless you wanted a GT710 or GT1030 for like $50. It's the same card I bought but 2 generations newer. It's a better card than what I paid $300 for 4 years ago. Some folks cant afford a cent more for a GPU.
If someone ends up with a 4060, no shame. It's gonna last you awhile, especially has graphical fidelity and improvements slow. Nothing like the 2000s and early 2010s. A 4060 will last you 5+ years if you're smart about it.
The one and only thing that I'll give the 40 series lineup kudos for is their power efficiency. Goddamn is it fucking impressive, but I wouldn't doubt it having to do with how small the memory buses are
Now that the latest 4060 variant has 16Gb VRAM it's so bizarre that the 4070 still only has 12Gb.

Yes, they are great for that, but for people with way more money, they get an A2000 for sff builds primarily focused on workstation tasks, but these pro cards can play games surprisingly well, and they have much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch longer support from nvidia than their consumer-grade cards, without mentioning that they are extremely optimized for efficiency, they just consume crazy low amounts of power and generate almost no heat. I remember an RTX 8000 could do the same or in some loads the double than a 3090 using less than half the power of a 3090. As much as I have to agree nvidia is greedy, their professional cards are really, really well made and built impeccably, the super long software support for drivers and improvements also are very attractive.
“It’s a canon event, there is nothing we can do” got me laughing
Im upgrading from a GTX 1650 to the RTX 4060. That is, beacause ive seen comparaisons of the RTX 3060 and RTX 4060 on the games I play, and the RTX 4060 performs better. But, since im upgrading from a gtx 1650 which wasnt that good, anything better than that will be great.
Super happy you talked about Blender towards the end. I'm curious how the smaller memory bus effects video rendering tho.
coming from a 750ti the 4060 was a great upgrade literally can play anything.
I'm sorry to say that coming from a 750ti means you'd feel the same way about pretty much any card you upgrade to..
Still that's a nice upgrade, enjoy it :)
A 2060 would of been a major upgrade
@@gradystephenson3346 Even a 1060 would feel like huge upgrade from a 750ti.
Duh, even the unsupported 9xx series would've been ecstatic.
the 4060 is great
im very happy with my purchase, went from my 1060 6gb to a 4060 and i am loving the boost :)
What is your cpu??
Ignorance is bliss ig lol, hey I have a 4K ultra rtx 960-2GB pc u wanna buy it?
@@BonusCrook what are you even getting at here I got a i11-16900k and a 6090 with 290 gb ram, 1000 hz monitor

You:I got a new gpu!
Reddit mfs:YOUR GPU SUCKS,YOU DID THE WORST TBING YOU HAVE EVER DONE TO A PC!!!!!!
(Not making fun of you btw)
avoided the 40 series. instead of buying a 4060 i bought a used 3080 in perfect condition for just a $100 more. one of the best decisions i ever made
the best part of the 4060 is that it came in a low profile version for itx builds.
i bought that and its perfect for me and in my country its very cheap too
Uhhh if you buy a Turing card it isn't a 3 slotter, only 2 slot. You might even be able to get some low profile versions.
@@Felale what? I’m talking about gigabytes two slot, low profile 4060?
I think your 4060 has a hardware problem because I have an msi 4060 and in the cyberpunk game in 1080 with high quality and ray tracing medium without path tracing I have about 105 fps
i have been playing Cyberpunk with a 3050 msi and im having a playable perfomance with raytracing at ultra or even psycho. just bought the 4060 and im eager to try it out. Have you been overclocking:
Yeah I think dude has a zotac? Who tf uses that brand?? I hate these videos cause they 4060 but buy it from a brand no one else would use for their build.
Really?! i also using zotac version and i keep thinking its having hardware issue. coz its felt like its perform lower than my GTX 1660 ti. could you tell how much fps on some games you playing??
@@signwolfart2136 my MSI 4060 came and its working great!
@@CineGui At 144p?🤣🤡
Frame generation mod with 3060 is the final nail in the coffin for the 4060
All cards can run FSR3, which is really lovely for older gen users, as NVIDIA would never make that happen. Expect the same with Blackwell. If they make an even more efficient DLSS they will make it exclusive to make you buy the newest overpriced gen.
@@voyagerdeepspaceexploratio5023 is that bad if I brought 3060 12gigs? Now instead of the 4060 it costs 4% more here than a 3060 12gigs
Plays most demanding games at highest possible settings on a mid range GPU, claims it is junk... Not worth watching this crap.
i agree tf are they on
You can buy a 3070 ti for the same price and get WAY better performance 😂😂😂
Anyone watching, buy the Intel Arc A750. I have one in my second PC, and I haven't had any issues for the last couple drivers. Great price for performance.
thats the problem . you compare 3050 to 1650 you see the jump :D, but when you go to 3060 to 4060 you see the scam
Even going from 2060 Super feels like a scam
The 3060 and the 4060
are both the same price right now tho
@@Josephweinerrthats because all the new 3060s that are left are dead stock thats overpriced. Old cards should not be compared by their new prices. 🤦♂️
I go from an gtx 980 to rtx 4060 😂😂 so i see huge improvement 😂😂
4060 is the highest end card I can get in small enough size to fit in my NUC 9 extreme
upgraded from a 1050 Ti to a 4060, and the difference was astounding. I never knew graphics could look this good in games. Additionally, I'm not sure why, but I'm consistently getting over 100fps on most games you've tested on this video, even with ray tracing though needed the frame generation enabled. What really amaze me is that the power consumption is very low
You are right. Leave the haters, they are showing suboptimal settings to make it look bad. I had 4090 desktop and sold it after i finished few games and now im on 4060 laptop and it smokes anything on 1080p.
Ye cus laptop GPU are terrible@@filippetrovic845
@@filippetrovic845so forget the 4060. Is it good if I should get a 4060 Ti??
i think its the fact that certain cards are different versions in terms of having different vram amounts or clock speeds or even if theyre overclocked or not. sometimes theyre even oem versions with weird fans, so idk. i say get a ti with 16gb
@@joellelolers1254 ok, thanks for the reply 👍
You could leave this card outside your front door for a week and it'd still be there it sucks that bad
Good video. I got the 6800xt a few years ago, and i can play any game i want at 1440 though. I have zero complaints with it
I have a 4060 and except the idle wattage hardware flaw meaning a false minimum reading of 53 watts is always shown I didn't have much of an issue with it playing games at 1080p. But then I upgraded from an ancient GTX560 and the 4060 was on Amazon deal for 270 so seemed like a good buy.
It is a good buy at that price. It's an ok card with a too-fat pricetag. I think nvidia are trying to avoid releasing really good cards because if a card is too good people hang on to them for years without consooming new product. Remember the 8800 GTX?
@@snipermagoo Lol yeah I actually had the card under that the 8800GT around then it was a workhorse I remember getting a second for SLI and they lasted me till I got a GTX470 which had a memory fail leading to getting the GTX560.
@@changeagent228 I actually had two in SLI and I didn't realize the factory settings were just a fixed 25% fan speed, but since they ran hot so well I didn't realize the issue until they burnt out. One died and the other was damaged and would lock up at high heat. That damaged card still worked when I replaced it about 2014. Absolute unit.
@@snipermagoo Lol yeah mine had those really weak slim coolers too and I just locked the fans at 100% with rivatuner and they still hit 80c+.
Why would I buy anything better than the 4060 if I have a cpu bottleneck and a 1080p 60hz monitor?
I had a 750ti paired with a r5 4600g and the 4060 was the absolute best I could get. Solid 60fps at 1080p in any game at max settings.
0:05 Frank Horrigan?
Frank horrigan if he did tech reviews.
I just came across this video and your channel and I subscribed after watching this ❤❤
It's a good upgrade for ppl have like rx 570 , rx 580, gtx 1060 , 1650 , 1650s , if you have rtx 20s or amd 6000 dont buy.
I upgraded from a 1070 and I went from not being able to play newer games to maxing them out on a 1440p monitor with less noise and lower power consumption (didn't need to upgrade my PSU). It's a huge win imo
I have a 4060 and it does what I need for gaming and other gpu heavy tasks without breaking the bank - so I am quite happy with it. It all about setting real expectations and knowing what you need for your PC
But Sometines it has frame drops
that's what I've been saying, it's the perfect budget nvidia gpu and will definitely last.
@@universalshorts412 no
U should have gotten a rx6600 way better
@@Luisml8ur actually blinded by amd propaganda of u think the 6600 is better 💀
4060 is just a badge-creeped 4050ti. Last gen, the real 3060 was the 3060ti, and this gen the real 4060 is the 4070. HOWEVER, if this card was 230-250$ instead of 300-330$, it wouldn’t matter what it’s called because it would’ve been excellent price/perf. It’s effectively a RTX2080 that pulls 115W. This is the best card the SFF market has seen in years. It’s just about 20% overpriced imo.
Tip for anyone ordering on amazon. Make sure you tick in the box that says if you preferred them to ship your product in amazon box. Avoids the likely scenario where they just slap a label on your product and ship it like in this video
i just tested cyberpunk and at 1080p RT Overdrive with DLSS -Q and FG i get 70-74 FPS with good latency really good experience
Nvidia should be ashamed. That card's barely as good as an APU. For price comparison, a GTX 1080 TI with 11GB RAM can be snagged from ebay used for under $150.00. I'm using one right now and I'm getting 60+ fps at 4K for most titles. Some newer games I have to run the upscaling because the native 4K is too much for it. The upscaling tech is great now so it still looks like 4K and runs very smooth. Rarely do I drop down to 1440 or 1080, but if I do, the FPS is well over 100 for everything. F*ck ray tracing. If you need ray tracing I guess look for a 2080 ti used. Ignorance is costly and computer component manufacturers have been milking that cow for decades.
Amazon didn't give an external box because they knew no one would steal it
13:26 the positive point joke made me sub
Idk how people are complaining I was stuck with a 2060 for 4 years until my computer died, and I that it did a good job, let alone the 4060. Also not everything has to be raytracing the polygons won’t kill you.
You know what will fix this? Continuing to exclusively buy nvidia products. We deserve this. This is our doing, this is our bed, now we will sleep in it.
Bro this is not our fault AMD is in a coma and WILL NOT WAKE UP.
Amd GPUs are always out of stock for my country.
People are buying.
But stock isn't there for non western market.
RTX 4060 microstuddering is real and made me hate it instantly. Do not buy it!
There's microstuttering in *every* Unreal Engine X game, it's an engine issue with loading stuff. It's not the card. Doesn't matter if 4060 or 4090.
@@GERRaze Yeah but still 4060 is definitely not worth it at all.
@@GERRaze My faster RTX cards do not have stuttering
no it's not bro it'sfucking smooth
@@MicahDaRhuler 4070 Super or the new Ti Super would be a better choice tbh. Nvidia for some reason just cuts out half of VRAM in their GPUs. AMD on the other hand does not. And this isn’t fanboy related, or even that I’m a fan of AMD.
I just got this card and I really don't see what all the whining is about. Is it the absolute best card on the market? No, but at $400CAD, it's fantastic. I'm going from a 1660 Ti with no DLSS capabilities to being able to max out (or nearly) on all of my games at still rock well over 60fps, whereas I had to play a lot of my games on much lower settings before. At least the ones that weren't on GeForce Now.
I've been very happy with this card.
Its incredible for the price, but im considering getting a 4070 (going from 2070)
4060 is a 25% improvement and 4070 is a 100% improvement o:
