OCUK RTX4060TI review thread

Do we think it was on purpose? Or just majorly missed the mark with it?

I don't understand what benefit they would get from being deliberately dishonest, it's basically a free win to say that the card is a bit crap. Unless Nvidia have gone down the route of 'if you don't give us a positive review, no more samples'...
I think it's more that Nvidia gives preferential treatment to friendly reviewers so that's where the incentive comes from. There have even been reports of Nvidia refusing press packs and card samples to people who were too honest about their products.

Can I ask those of you who have suffered through the reviews to give me a short comparison between this and a basic 2060? My card is getting old, but I'm really struggling to tell how much of an upgrade this would actually be?

I made this reply in the other thread:
 
Comparing it only/mainly to the 2060 IS being deliberately dishonest. There is no real reason to compare it to a card that is ostensibly three generations behind and released over 4 years ago.

Having the 2060 on the charts is obviously good, but using it as the main comparison is bogus.
It's what Nvidia themselves were pushing in their press release.

The only thing Jay (IMO) is guilty of is buying into Nvidia PR a little too much and loosing his objectivity.

When compared to the 2060 super it's something like a 50% increase for the same price so in that respect it's a good upgrade, however when compared to the 3060 Ti it's more like 10% for the same price and the 3060 Ti comes with more memory, so...

yeah i was going to say the whiole 2060 was what nvidia wanted it comparing against so his less experienced team did that but all the other peoples a team were on it comparing it to last gen also and then you saw how crummy it was
 
Must be an Nvidia conflict then. My ASUS Freesync monitor works fine with both Nvidia and AMD cards.

Or amd or/and the hardware used. Free/adaptive sync requires good scalars to be used to get a good experience among other things.

AMD gpus also have issues on freesync screens with black screen/flickering, generally the cheaper/lower end models are more problematic, probably because the monitor manufacturers have skimped on good quality parts.
 
LMAO:

RTX4060TI and RX7600 launches must be going swimmingly then!

Same here. Have a mate with the same monitor and it was OK and he flip-flopped several times between brands the last couple of years.

But even if GSync is technically more specialised,most monitors now are FreeSync because of cost.Every owner of an Nvidia card I know has a monitor which is FreeSync/GSync compatible.

It's not just cost but more so because monitor manufacturers don't have to change the chassis design of the monitor housing to accommodate the gsync module.

Gsync module is reserved for the very high end displays only now, although funnily, this is where it is less useful, more so on oled since oleds pixel response time is instant thus the biggest benefit of the gsync module is rendered useless i.e. variable overdrive
 
The RTX 4060 Ti shows the hard limits of Nvidia's Frame Generation technology

testing highlights the fact that instead of giving extra performance, sometimes Frame Generation can slow your games down.

cause frame gen only helps on cpu bound games with low gpu usage, if your card is already ******** the bed trying to keep up how is it going to create more frames

It also works better with more FPS. The lower the FPS,the higher the gap between frames and the more work it needs to do.

Its like with DLSS/FSR - it works best at 4K because more the internal render resolution is higher.

afaik the more frames part is to make it look better, more real frames you can generate yourself the less you can notice any fake frame shenannigans
 
So it works best with high-end, expensive cards that shouldn't need it? Interesting... :cry:

It works best when you have more FPS. Also it does take up dGPU resources which can be used for other things.

Yes,but starting from a higher base FPS,means its easier to generate the inserted frames(and probably less latency too).

Bingo, it's all about persuading people to accept less hardware for more money, "but DLSS!" It's so obvious only the zealots or marketing department would say anything else.
Exactly paying for software cheats now just to see the fps counter state high fps and fool the general public that are not that tech savvy and realise they are being sold second rate hardware or hardware that has been designed for nothing but greed. I pay for hardware and use the real ways to see uplift not fake tricks and will always buy that way the hardware I use and never look at benchmarks that are not apples to apples as we have always measured performance increases, anything else is a lie in my book.
