OCUK RTX4060TI review thread

[Purgatory]

Yeah it's just getting worse at this point. If a hypothetical 4060 had improved over the 2060 as much as the 4090 has done over the 2080 ti then it'd basically be sitting at 3090 performance. That's just slightly below where the 4070 ti sits now.

At this rate they'll be telling us the 5060 ti is still a "1080p" card at roughly 3070 ti performance and £450, with a 5090 doing 4x that.

5060ti 12GB, $500, DLSS4, PCIe5 8x and the amazing special feature will be it's 10% faster than a 4060ti native performance but with DLSS4 it's 10x faster as it now has inbuilt NV-BS FPS systems that fool fps tools better than DLSS3 ever could for all that 1080p goodness in the year 2025.

Joking apart wouldn't surprise me 5060ti $500 12GB .. and of course a 5060ti 24GB version for $650.. Nothing will surprise me with Nvidia anymore really.

Beautiful, but yeah, the extra pixels end up gimping every other PQ characteristic so not worth it even at 110". Gimme this instead:

Yes I remember that, I just need to mount it outside the house lol.

Lol 16k, Nvidia/AMD will be bringing back sli/xfire just to get Portal RT to run at 30 fps.

Just one person showed up to buy an RTX 4060 Ti for its late night Akihabara launch

Two stores opened late in Japan's Akihabara district for the event, but it's become painfully clear they wasted their money.

Well once we can afford that we'll be able to afford a house to go with it too.

Don't worry, I'm sure the customers of a certain largest hardware store in a particular European country (who aren't strictly a competitor to OCUK but sell a lot of similar bits) will go mad for it.

The more you buy the more you save .. Wouldn't surprise me really.

I thought they all worked with Freesync now?

My screen (in my siggy) is a proper Gsync LCD monitor that only works with Gsync. As it has a Gsync module it is much better than a standard Freesync/Gsync compatible screen.

 

[mrk]

Gsync/freesync displays work with all GPUs. The standard is labelled as Adaptive Sync which they are all based on. The only thing that is different is the lowest sync rate they go down to, Gsync Ultimate is from 1Hz and up, FreeSync is something like 40Hz iirc?

That's Nvidia's line although a lot of other industry leaders disagree with them. 3nm is not really "3nm" though so it's all a bit misleading, they will actually have e.g. gate pitch around 28nm (at smallest, there's a range) in reality. So we're much further from that 0.2nm atomic hard limit than you'd think from the current marketing which is a bit detached from reality.

I think we all know to ignore the names as they don't mean anything.

But the idea remains that it's getting harder (and more expensive) to shrink (anything).

We could even end up in a place where it's physically possible but not economically viable to go smaller.

So, where to after that? Is the question.

I can't really say for certain. Probably nobody can, save for maybe TSMC's in house materials scientists. But the will and the money is certainly there, it seems like there's nothing fundamental stopping progress even if we do seem to be on a bit of a speed bump. We're probably more likely to run up against war before physics becomes the problem.

And let's face it, the one feature all gamers want when buying new hardware is for the game to look slightly better any time the frame rate drops below 40

 

[mrk]

With the state of today's AAA games being released, above 40 at launch is a dream

I have a 'Free-Sync Premium' screen with my Nvidia GPU, the range is 30 to 165Hz, below 30 LFC kicks in, Low Framerate Compensation has been a part of the Free-Sync standard since Free-Sync 2.

It all works perfectly on my Nvidia GPU.

Digital Foundry: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB review - the disappointment is real

The RTX 4060 Ti is essentially a hybrid RTX 3060 Ti/RTX 3070 with the added bonus of DLSS 3, a good media block and extra efficiency, but beyond that it's a missed opportunity and a disappointment. There are some positive points to highlight, but they're crushed by the sense that Nvidia isn't delivering good value to the sector of the market that most demands it.

I'm glad people don't think DLSS 3 is worth a $100 premium over what this should have cost, seriously.

Based on the specs and performance this should really be a xx50ti level card. However calling it a 4050ti would just further highlight what terrible value this generation is compared with the 30 series. The performance is there on the high end so it's not like the 40 series is a failure technology wise. I think it can be one of two things. Increased manufacturing costs have wiped out the performance per £ we normally see with a new generation. Or that NVidia know they won't be able to meet the demand if prices were in line with previous generations. It doesn't make business sense to them to keep prices high if it results in spare capacity they can't sell.

Performance wise its a refreshed 3060Ti, physically yes its a 4050Ti, price wise its a ##60Ti.

I cannot believe that Nvidia's costs have gone up that much, its just greed.

 

[StarShock]

I know that stock price has little to do with running costs, and the largest part of the jump is to do with AI stuff... but it certainly seems like the markets don't think that nvidia suddenly can't afford to make products
