So, are you saying these cards are just ewaste and should not be purchased? We should all buy 2,000 dollar graphics cards if we want a chance for them to be repaired?
There's a reason why you typically do not just use a microscope, but a stereoscopic microscope - meaning it's really two microscopes, one for each eye. You need one sometimes for perspective. It makes these tiny tiny components easier to work with. I worked for a short while at a job where I had to solder to a certain standard, stereoscopic microscope, lead-free solder, and had to look closely enough at the solder joints themselves to make sure they were "to standard". A giant blob of solder on each side of a component was not acceptable. So yeah, tiny tiny parts and you've gotta really see what you're doing with details? Stereoscopic microscope.
This one was mine too. Another unlucky repair. Oh well! No real backstory - another card acquired from electronics recycler that bulk purchases retail returns, so I don't know how it got damaged like that. Was probably returned for the dead core, and physically damaged during the returns + bulk auctioning process. No manufacturer warranty either, it was voided by manufacturer before I got it (they keep records of prior service requests and void in their systems for physical damage).
The design flaw of RTX 4060 is 128 bit GDDR6 VRAM. Total bandwidth 272 GB/sec. Note that RTX 3060 has 360 GB/s and 3060Ti, 448 GB/s. It is bandwidth starved, even for FHD. For RTX4060, it should have 450 GB/s, to be a decent offering.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq Judging by the leaked specs, the 5080 will be HALF a 5090, instead of 3/4th's, and so on to 70ti 3/4th a 5080 ect, further downsampling the entire range for more money out of them.
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp back in 2014 a 4060 would have had 256bit bus @ least.. nothing like back then. nvidia just wants customer to buy more recently like they said "buy more to get more" so fucked up to what toxic behaving it has gone too. back then in 2014 my 760 sli had 256 bit bus and only 2gb vram and was enough to handle serious stuff like DSR 4k factor etc for 2-3 years till it still was 2k+ in extreme modded settings like sgssaa 8 + 64b msaa sli mod + -3,0 mipmap to make sure the quality was on alien level at 2014..
Fun Fact.. NGREEDIA literally gave every single GPU in their 40 series lineup a "next tier" naming convention with the exception of the 4090. A 4080 is really a 4070. A 4070 is really a 4060. A 4060 is really a 4050 you get the idea. At least if you compare die size and cuda core count differences to previous generations. Then of course they use Ti and Super and even (you guessed it) Ti Super branding to fill in the blanks later. This was a huge money grab... and sadly, the performance was good enough for them to get away with it.. and there was no competition in sight (also, remember the other "unlaunched 4080" with different cores?). It wasn't hard to figure out what they did. Only the 4090 escaped this "tier trickery" but more than made up for it with a $2k pricetag.
The 4090 is ~10% cut down from the full die which is about double what a 3080ti was missing. AI is looking like it's going to be as bad for geforce as crypto mining was.
They can get away with putting 50 and 40 class dies in a 60 class gpu now because nvidia's fanboys will put up with anything. Nvidia is still trying to sell these turds for $300 with 8gb of ram in 2025.
You gave me bad news too as I just purchased a 4060ti..... :I it preforms well, quite out preforming the 1660 super that I had. I would send to you as it has a bad memory chip (I presume) were I not living it Thailand. Thanks for the kick in the groin lol.
Would love to see stats on how reliable over time the cores are that are cut down? Anything that is not a xx90 series is technically a defective core with sections disabled.

I took out my XFX RX 6950 XT to play around with an ARC B580. My GPU support bracket wasn't doing it's job very well and there is a noticeable curve to the board. 😅
x8 vs x16 will matter if the CPU is tasked with dumping a bunch of data to the GPU, or reading a bunch of data from it, which varies from application to application and from game to game. PCIe gen 4 x8 is the same as gen 3 x16 as well, because gen 4 is double the bandwidth, so it's also important to be wary of that when gauging the perf of a device like a GPU.
If you have an older mainboard with PCIE version 2 or 1, you will want x16 to still get the bandwidth the GPU can actually use. On the latest generation of mainboards you will be doing just fine at X8, but not everyone upgrades, especially with the performance of the latest generation of CPU versus 5 generations back and the demands of software when it comes to CPU vs GPU. Just saying, there is a valid reason why you would want x16 on a GPU.
A pcie-2.0 board harks back to the Core 2 and AMD Phenom days , and a PCIe 1.0 board ran Pentium 4s and AMD Athlon 64's ;) - you won't be getting anywhere near what the 4060 can do with those CPUs 😂

Try to remove capacitors to fix card (and make it work in x4). Also some cards made out from mobile GPUs x8 require different BIOS signature, not present in drivers.
Honestly, blew my mind, even being aware; of how small the footprint of my 4070Ti Super compared to the MSI 3060 12G I swapped from was, on all fronts; PCB, GPU, you name it. They're all becoming crap, but not much an end user can do about it except spend an amount of money people like to just ignore being a fuckin' lot, or jump ship. Not to mention no 4090 exists that would ever fit in my MATX case.
Well i thought of buying founder editions from nvidia 40 series well it's out of stock to prepare for 50 series. Now we will be seeing lot of 40 series repairs. How did the core and memory chips die suddenly? What could be the issue?
there are 2 possible causes.... 1: the owner tried to overclock it to extreme values, sendind extreme voltages to memory and core, burning them from the inside and causing the problem that affect all i7 and i9 13th and 14th gen ( electromigration) 2: defective core/memory or a bug in the bios
@martux6815 thanks. Gigabyte GPU advertises dual BIOS and slight factory overclock with extra 2 Yr warranty with online registration besides 3yr warranty. Damn if they're failing at stock it's bad. I was about to buy gigabyte wind force 4060 Ti/4070S once prices drop after 50 series launch
Hello Sometime my computer randomly crash, i think it's a memory problem It's a 1080Ti from ebay + Ryzen 9 5900X + 4 Kingstone ram (8x2 + 16x2) I'm currently testing my ram with memtest but after 30 min of test, nothing happen I need to test my card memory What the tools you use to test the memory ? or for test the card in general ? Thanks by advance =)
just a thought, could be power supply or thermal pad and paste issue if gpu sided problem. or system sided and it is a ram issue, test one stick at a time for sanity check and ensure xmp is not throwing frequency off and the sticks frequency is the same, if you updated with more recently. having matching ramm is critical too. All else fails watch temps in a test. Best of luck.
well, it only uses a x8 lanes, also have a 128 bus, so a 3060 ti is way faster ( have x16 support and a wide bus 256) here is the specs/lanes for a 1º gen 4060 just for your reference: 1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (x16 Speed) 1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x8 Speed) 2 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x8 Speed or x4 Speed)(depending on the board) 2 x PCIe 3.0 x4 (x4 Speed or less)(depending on the board) in sum, is a big crap of card (is like a low spec 1050 mobile)
just the luck of the draw. That card has a horrible fan curve that you should change as soon as you get it. it is small but it should never be put in a bad case you need airflow for it. I have it and it runs fine at 60 fps at 4k. One more thing do not overclock it.

I have been running a 6900XT, my other three PCs have two 6700XT and an 5700XT. They have been running flawlessly, if you run Intel, nVidia or AMD it makes little difference, you get good ones and bad ones. I really dislike the AMD hate as it is so 2005.
Die size is smaller than higher classes of older gen dies due to node shrink. This may still be more powerful than any 10xx series even if it's smaller. Even powerful CPU dies are surprisingly small with the latest nodes.
5:40 That is not true... If you run this card on a motherboard with PCIe 3.0 you need x16 to get full performance and because this is only x8 you will not be ably to do get full speed out of the card. You need at least PCIe 4.0 to get full speed. PCIe 3.0 x8 7.877 GB/s PCIe 4.0 x8 15.754 GB/s PCIe 5.0 x8 31.508 GB/s PCIe 6.0 x8 60.500 GB/s
i wonder if my 4060 tis core is this small i currently have a asus dual 4060ti in the computer im using right now but all 4060s only run a x8 which is stupid man especially when im using a pcie 3.0 motherboard
The answer to those torn off components is a bad factory solder due to using poor quality tin. On more than one occasion I have received practically new equipment that just brushing it with a brush ends up causing the components to fall apart.
Besides not being statistically significant, especially given we're talking totally different GPU dies (cores) - AD107 vs AD104 vs AD103. I think the common factor here is Gigabyte, which IMHO, makes absolute hot-garbage, especially in the Ada and Ampere product lines.
I feel so vindicated purchasing my MSI 4090 now. I'd love to clip Tony's final statement and send it to my wife who argued the 4090 wasn't worth the cost but lets be real here..... I don't have a wife. j/k Honey I love you.
"You wanna be happy ever after? Get your self a 3080ti, 3090 or 4090 or if ya amd fan 7900 xtx. Nothing else!" Me looking at my 1080ti, still 200€ on used marked "seems like you have to carry me a bit longer my old good friend"
I hope that the next gen amd graphics cards are gonna be good, i have a bunch of molah saved up from Christmas, right now I have a 3060 but would like some more performance sooo I'm thinking I buy new gen if its good or im gonna buy the 7900 xtx if the new gen stuff is not as bang for the buck.
@@Pancakeman_49 AMD did say that they are aiming more for mid-range on the upcoming GPU gen, we might need to wait for a few generations for a truly interesting GPU worth upgrading to
@@Pancakeman_49 Similar thoughs here.. The performance is a little lackluster on the 3060 but the 'ti with about 20% more performance but has only 8bg. I was at one point even considering to get the 3060ti and make a ram mod to double the vram capacity..
3060 12gb is a way better pick than the 4060 8gb. Just goes to show how this company said fu to the consumers. And guess what.. It ain't going to get better as long as we keep buying them. Heres to hoping Intel can make a big enough difference for them to realize they need to change.
wait wait wait.. back up a bit.. dude sent you 2 cards with same exact issue? Its something environmental or in his system, time to change MB or PSU perhaps, before he cooks third card.

Try to remove capacitors to fix card (and make it work in x4). Also some cards made out from mobile GPUs x8 require different BIOS signature, not present in drivers.
Honestly, blew my mind, even being aware; of how small the footprint of my 4070Ti Super compared to the MSI 3060 12G I swapped from was, on all fronts; PCB, GPU, you name it.
They're all becoming crap, but not much an end user can do about it except spend an amount of money people like to just ignore being a fuckin' lot, or jump ship. Not to mention no 4090 exists that would ever fit in my MATX case.
heeei,i have 4060 at home,just,peeple call it 1660tisame core and pcb size,only w more junk stacked onto it so i don't feel saad
These cards should not HAVE to survive physical damage. Be careful with your electronics! You can't use a GPU as a hammer and then expect it to work.
could you please provide us with simple usb stick images for mats and mods test like shown in your video 9:53. thx
Well i thought of buying founder editions from nvidia 40 series well it's out of stock to prepare for 50 series. Now we will be seeing lot of 40 series repairs.
How did the core and memory chips die suddenly? What could be the issue?
there are 2 possible causes....
1: the owner tried to overclock it to extreme values, sendind extreme voltages to memory and core, burning them from the inside and causing the problem that affect all i7 and i9 13th and 14th gen ( electromigration)
2: defective core/memory or a bug in the bios
@martux6815 thanks. Gigabyte GPU advertises dual BIOS and slight factory overclock with extra 2 Yr warranty with online registration besides 3yr warranty. Damn if they're failing at stock it's bad. I was about to buy gigabyte wind force 4060 Ti/4070S once prices drop after 50 series launch
@@martux6815 And maybe a bad case with no airflow
lol I thought that was my phone at 0:10
before watching the video I'll say I've never thought buying a 60 series card of any generation was a good idea lol
Hello
Sometime my computer randomly crash, i think it's a memory problem
It's a 1080Ti from ebay + Ryzen 9 5900X + 4 Kingstone ram (8x2 + 16x2)
I'm currently testing my ram with memtest but after 30 min of test, nothing happen
I need to test my card memory
What the tools you use to test the memory ? or for test the card in general ?
Thanks by advance =)
just a thought, could be power supply or thermal pad and paste issue if gpu sided problem. or system sided and it is a ram issue, test one stick at a time for sanity check and ensure xmp is not throwing frequency off and the sticks frequency is the same, if you updated with more recently. having matching ramm is critical too. All else fails watch temps in a test. Best of luck.
well, it only uses a x8 lanes, also have a 128 bus, so a 3060 ti is way faster ( have x16 support and a wide bus 256)
here is the specs/lanes for a 1º gen 4060 just for your reference:
1 x PCIe 5.0 x16 (x16 Speed)
1 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x8 Speed)
2 x PCIe 4.0 x16 (x8 Speed or x4 Speed)(depending on the board)
2 x PCIe 3.0 x4 (x4 Speed or less)(depending on the board)
in sum, is a big crap of card (is like a low spec 1050 mobile)
just the luck of the draw. That card has a horrible fan curve that you should change as soon as you get it. it is small but it should never be put in a bad case you need airflow for it. I have it and it runs fine at 60 fps at 4k. One more thing do not overclock it.
All around the country and coast
People ask what bugs me most
I don't want to brag I don't want to boast
I tell them I hate GPUs that are toast
NO TOAST!
-Toast by Heywood Banks
I have been running a 6900XT, my other three PCs have two 6700XT and an 5700XT. They have been running flawlessly, if you run Intel, nVidia or AMD it makes little difference, you get good ones and bad ones. I really dislike the AMD hate as it is so 2005.
I only buy on the high-end any more....4090 FE right now...but I use my kids computers to test out the lower tiers....LOL
Good luck paying 2500 bucks for 5090.
I cannot understand why they have caps on data lines, I could understand inductors???
Very good breakfast fare.
Die size is smaller than higher classes of older gen dies due to node shrink. This may still be more powerful than any 10xx series even if it's smaller. Even powerful CPU dies are surprisingly small with the latest nodes.
7900 XTX made by who?
Great job, ty so much sir. Part of the problem is that 4060's only run at 8 x max, Screw you Nvidia. Nvidia needs to sit and spin -,!,,
How long I got on my msi 4070 doc?
5:40 That is not true... If you run this card on a motherboard with PCIe 3.0 you need x16 to get full performance and because this is only x8 you will not be ably to do get full speed out of the card. You need at least PCIe 4.0 to get full speed.
PCIe 3.0 x8 7.877 GB/s
PCIe 4.0 x8 15.754 GB/s
PCIe 5.0 x8 31.508 GB/s
PCIe 6.0 x8 60.500 GB/s
Dude, this just a dump on Nvidea upload. Destroyed PCB, blames GPU while thing itself is a scam return auction pick up. Clown is the entire circus.
Honest question, how is repairing anything except high end cards economical?
It is especially in third world countries, but the cost of repair is also much lower there.
these 4010s are getting large
69$
Maybe the damage was done when the card was on...
technology is fragile, like NVidia stocks take advantage of it.
i wonder if my 4060 tis core is this small i currently have a asus dual 4060ti in the computer im using right now but all 4060s only run a x8 which is stupid man especially when im using a pcie 3.0 motherboard
NoVideo made chip standing up to their name.
Super efficient, my other half's TI is sweet as, sups power and works good at 1080p, until she mods games😒
The answer to those torn off components is a bad factory solder due to using poor quality tin. On more than one occasion I have received practically new equipment that just brushing it with a brush ends up causing the components to fall apart.
Besides not being statistically significant, especially given we're talking totally different GPU dies (cores) - AD107 vs AD104 vs AD103. I think the common factor here is Gigabyte, which IMHO, makes absolute hot-garbage, especially in the Ada and Ampere product lines.
The board is fully functional but the core is not.
Not sure who to blame.
0:28 It is mobile gpu, they want get rid off old products so they manufactor those crap to desktop PCs. Same on CPUs
11:17 im not that Rich 😂
Wow.. it is as small as my 1030. I am glad I did not invest in that one!
Edit how is it a dead core when it works at x4?
I feel so vindicated purchasing my MSI 4090 now. I'd love to clip Tony's final statement and send it to my wife who argued the 4090 wasn't worth the cost but lets be real here..... I don't have a wife. j/k Honey I love you.
That's a normal die, the gpus have just gotten huge
my gpu is running at x4 and was a new gpu
"You wanna be happy ever after? Get your self a 3080ti, 3090 or 4090 or if ya amd fan 7900 xtx. Nothing else!"
Me looking at my 1080ti, still 200€ on used marked "seems like you have to carry me a bit longer my old good friend"
I hope that the next gen amd graphics cards are gonna be good, i have a bunch of molah saved up from Christmas, right now I have a 3060 but would like some more performance sooo I'm thinking I buy new gen if its good or im gonna buy the 7900 xtx if the new gen stuff is not as bang for the buck.
@@Pancakeman_49 AMD did say that they are aiming more for mid-range on the upcoming GPU gen, we might need to wait for a few generations for a truly interesting GPU worth upgrading to
@@Pancakeman_49 Similar thoughs here..
The performance is a little lackluster on the 3060 but the 'ti with about 20% more performance but has only 8bg.
I was at one point even considering to get the 3060ti and make a ram mod to double the vram capacity..
I can read 🥳🥳
Another one bites the dust.
How they manage to trash those caps.... Mining card can be i have those like that. Who knows
Agreed, 3080 Ti, 3090, 4090, or 7900 XTX. And while we're at it, 7800 X3D or 9800 X3D on gaming CPUs and nothing else.
In 2025 I'd not want anything slower than a 2080ti or RX 6800 for gaming and on the CPU side a 9900k/3800x at a minimum
Not toast, The TURD
Man they look sooooo cheaply made yet still they cost you a fortune
that is such a bare ass board
3060 12gb is a way better pick than the 4060 8gb. Just goes to show how this company said fu to the consumers. And guess what.. It ain't going to get better as long as we keep buying them. Heres to hoping Intel can make a big enough difference for them to realize they need to change.
wait wait wait.. back up a bit.. dude sent you 2 cards with same exact issue? Its something environmental or in his system, time to change MB or PSU perhaps, before he cooks third card.
