Compatibility for ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EVO 16GB GDDR6

Shaky106 · 2024-12-22T12:57:08+0000

Hello, Please can anyone here assist with GPU Compatibility?
I am looking to but the following GPU and would like to check with regards to compatibility on my current PC Specs:

The GPU i am looking to buy is as follows:ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EVO 16GB GDDR6 (PCIe 4.0, 16GB GDDR6, DLSS 3, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2.5-Slot Design, Axial-Tech Fan Design, 0dB Technology)

My PC Specs are as follows:
CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor, 3600 MHZ, 6 Core, 12 Logical Processor.
Mobo : Mag B550M Mortar WIFI (MS-7C94)
OS : Windows 11 Pro
RAM : 16GBHDD : 1TB SSD (WDC)

Please can you advise if compatibility of the GPU would be OK with the CPU as concerned about bottle-necking?

Many Thanks

yes, the 4060ti is compatible
yes, the ryzen 3600 will be a bottleneck
no, that's a really crappy value gpu to buy...would not recommend

Thanks Tamzzy, What GPU would you recommend with my PC specs?

Thank you,

Or what CPU would you recommend wit this GPU ?

Thank you,

What is your budget exactly, what resolution do you play it, and what games do you play?

What power supply does your PC have?

What is your current GPU?

The cpu is fine for a 4060ti level gpu it will technically bottleneck but nothing worth crying about, 4060ti just a **** poor value gpu, 7700xt from £360 or 7800xt from £420 would be my choice.

what gray said.
please list out exactly what parts (esp case, psu, cpu cooler) you have and what your upgrade budget is (and also if you are selling your current parts to add to the budget)

I'm interested in keeping up to date with the latest games on high/ultra settings.

Forget it, with UE5 you need stupidly expensive GPU. 4060 is a midrange card.

UE5 is killing games, it's badly coded.

CASE IS A Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L.
PSU is a Corsair CX750F RGB
Original GPU : RX 56XT6D V1.1 (Failed as and will only run "disabled" in device manager) - All drivers freeze system even with original driver installed.
Therefore, current GPU installed so it can be used as a standard PC is an Asus Dual RTX 3050-O6G.

Budget = £450 for replacement GPU

Thanks all for the advice.

Ah that's a pretty solid power supply.
For a £450 budget I'd be looking at a 7800xt or a 4070 (non-super)
Though your 3600 will be a massive bottleneck especially for the 4070 as the Nvidia cards rely on software scheduling (radeons have a hardware scheduler so less impact with a lower-end CPU)

tamzzy · 2024-12-22T20:32:46+0000

If you want something more balanced for the budget then get a 5700x3d for a CPU upgrade and then a 7700xt or 6800 (non-xt) for the graphics

Gray2233 · 2024-12-22T20:38:33+0000

Depending on games and resolution, a 5700X3D and 7700XT would be an excellent upgrade option. You can get a 6750XT for a good chunk less than a 7700XT but the available model is huge so I'm unsure as to whether or not it would fit in that case. (Not sold on OCUK and we cannot link competitors, but it's often around £280).

If the games and resolution you play at don't particular care about the CPU, a 7800XT would be fantastic but would bottleneck hard on a 3600 in most situations.

If you're willing to do tiered upgrades, a 7800XT and then a 5700X3D down the line would both see big improvements.

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated.

At 1440p I think a 3600 would be fine for the most part, I had one with a 3080 and didn’t notice much of an uplift going to a 5800X at the time.

If the OP is still on 1080p then it’s pointless spending £400+ on a gpu anyway and might as well just get a 6700XT or an Arc B580
