This review of the NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU benchmarks its performance vs. the AMD RX 7600, RX 6700 XT, NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti, Intel Arc A750, and plenty more modern cards. We also included benchmarks and comparisons against the RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and even the GTX 1060 to help you determine if it's time to upgrade. The 4060 isn't as poorly positioned as the 4060 Ti -- that one was really bad positioning -- but it still feels like the relative performance would equate a "4050" by traditional naming.

totally agree the 4060 looks more like a 4050. but why didn't you compare it to the 3050 then? maybe even adding what should have been the 3050 Ti into the mix, meaning the 3060 8GB? great video other than that. I love it. keep leading the community into a better future, thx GN team!! can you make a video hypothesizing the 4060 is a 4050, 4060Ti a 4050ti, all the way up, except 4090? also giving them a fair price from your POV would be nice. I think the community needs smth like this for better discussions
@Uraim 10 місяців тому
@@random-zr5km I think since the 4050 wasn't released, and the 4060 got a 110W TDP design, it look like 4050 behind the scenes. The 4060 is in the 60ish power category and its 110W-TDP. I also think that the 3050 was a mistaken due we never really seen an 50ish power category card on 130Watt TDP, but the 3050 is kicking ass with its TDP. Lets go back to stone age to review stuff! 550TI- 116W 650- 65W 650TI- 110W 750- 55W 750TI- 60W 950- 90W 1050- 75W 1050TI- 75W 3050- whopping 130Watt TDP I Think the GPU die manufacturers will avoid the low TDP due to competition, back then we even had GT610, GT630, GT710, GT730 on Nvidia side and we had HD6350 ,HD6450 ,HD7350, HD7450 on AMD side. Now we dont even have 50's series. I still even have my old af HD5550 laying on my desk, but i think i will show up in my windows xp retro pc butt due its not bad for xp.
@Steellmor 10 місяців тому
How is power savings not relevant for low end? People who buy low end cards don't care how much they pay for electricity? And ones who care - buy expensive cards? :D Nvidia slides also show 10-20 load hours per week, that's not that much. And by the end of card "life" (with first owner), it's power consumption matters much more - reselling price lower\power price probably higher. Not that many people interested in old-furnace hardware, 980ti outperforms 1060 6g but most people would prefer 1060 x580 or look for 1070+. Plus it's better for SFF things,game rooms\lan parties where you need populate lots of PCs without blowing up fuses,offices, for kids\family PCs. There is only one question - why did Nvidia compared it to 3060 on that chart, this all was obvious joke about Arc 750.
@DMOC2008 10 місяців тому
so the short version of this since I myself have a 3060 Ti is wait for 5060 Ti and hopefully nvidia has learned there lesson from this trash launch of the 4060 family.
@Uraim 10 місяців тому
@@Steellmor the question is still odd due the Arc750 is a big boy with 225W-TDP, it better compared to 70ish power, due its usage. I think, (i also thinking about that everybody thinks that) the 110W-TDP card cannot be put next to a 225W-TDP card, also from the Intel GPU's everything can come out, intel gpu drivers evolving as time pass.

Thank you for mentioning this is a PCIE X8 card. For low to mid range cards, these are attractive upgrades for older systems still on PCIE 3.0. It's not fair to expect PCIE 3.0 benchmarks, but 3.0 users will likely need all 16 lanes, so it's a good thing to mention. Thanks
@THU31 10 місяців тому
This is irrelevant. A 4090 loses 2% performance on Gen3 x16, 6% on Gen2 x16. You can look up PCI-E scaling benchmarks (TechPowerUp is one site). The only scenario where this could affect the 4060 is when you run out of VRAM, but then you're screwed anyway.

Looking at the performance of a used RTX 3060 Ti/ 3070 or a RX 6600 XT/ 5700 XT in this charts I would suggest those way cheaper upgrade options with similar performance level.
@THU31 10 місяців тому
@@xii_yuki1935 Clearly you don't understand this at all. The number lanes doesn't matter, the bandwidth does. The 4090 is 2.5 times faster and it's not bottlenecked by Gen3 x16, so why would this card be bottlenecked by Gen3 x8? New revisions of PCI-Express are developed for professional applications, that's where it matters. There's a reason why none of the new cards use Gen5, it's pointless for gaming. It's purely marketing based on the illusion that higher number means more performance.
@LuxTheSlav 10 місяців тому
@@THU31 I guess the performance drop for the 6500XT (another x8 card) going from PCIe 4.0 to 3.0 being anywhere between 10% to 20% was our lack of understanding. If you cut the number of lanes in half, you cut the potential bandwidth in half. PCIe 4.0 x16 won't bottleneck any of these cards, PCIe 3.0 x16 and PCIe 4.0 x8 will be the same and unnoticeably worse than the former, but PCIe 3.0 x8 will be a quarter of the bandwidth and will definitely impact performance enough to change the value proposition. And that's the issue here, a "budget" (formerly midrange...) card is more likely to be used in a system limited to PCIe 3.0, giving it x8 lanes handicaps it for the casual user who doesn't know better, since it won't show up in most benchmarks or be explained in any vendor datasheet. Also, as an aside, don't condescend to random strangers on the internet without doing the legwork. TLDR: PCIe 3.0 x8 bottlenecks even a 6500XT and the proof is within a mouseclick's reach.

Would love to see some previous generation powerhouses included in some of these charts to see where they stack up anymore. Cards like the 1080ti or 2080super would be great candidates. Incredibly popular, strong enough to have allowed consumers to have skipped a few generations, but just old enough now to potentially not keep up in a few places where people might be getting an itch. It's kinda tough to make a conclusion when the comparisons run 3 cards deep and require much older footage. "New card is X% better in this game over this other card which I can trace back to being Y% better than my card in a completely different game 2 years ago" kind of thing. Maybe as a 1080ti Revisit kind of video? Great work as always Steve! Love the frame time charts being featured again

I've actually specifically been waiting for a new $300 dollar card with a 100-125W tdp for years, and completely skipped the 2000 and 3000 series because of how much the power consumption at the $300 price point kept skyrocketing, so it's nice to see a return to that.

The huge performance gap between the 4090 and 4080 also indicates that they simply skipped a proper xx80 SKU, that might come later as the 4080 Ti, sold at premium xx80 Ti prices of course. Nvidia has just straight up been overcharging and underdelivering this entire generation with the sole exception of the impressive 4090, but that's not relevant for ~98% of the customer base because very few people can afford or even need that card.

First of, thank you for great work! I have a proposal for an additional segment in your videos, for which testing should not be too difficult: idle power consumption of CPUs and GPUs. I live in Germany with electricity currently costing 0.44€/kWh I am probably not speaky only for myself when I say that most of the time using my computer not spent gaming or on productivity, but on mundane tasks such as browsing the internet, watching videos, looking and moving files and other such activities that consume close to no power. I am therefore very interested in the idle power consumption of different products. For example, my ... i9 12900 consumed 9W idle r9 5900X consumed 40W idle 3080 consumes 90W idle there are things that would have been very good to know beforehand. These 40W + 90W add up to 130W, which is more or less what I measured going into the PSU (~145W idle) What does this cost compared to a ~10W idle 1060 6GB and a ~10W 13500? Assuming a PSU loss of 50% at low power, this would be a comparison between 145W and 40W idle. Thats ~100W idle difference. 100W = 0.1kW My computer runs idle for about 8 hours a day (I am a remote university student) 0.1 kW * 365,25 days/year * 8 h/day * 0.44€/kWh = 128,57€/year IDLE power consumption. I believe this is something one should be able to factor in when purchasing a product and getting this information is currently very difficult.

@@telleva7890 that's not an issue. AMD is close to Nvidia this gen so depending on how things go in the future we might see AMD catching up to Nvidia in terms of raw performance. The advantage AMD has is that they're switching to chiplets and that they already have experience with chiplet architecture, meanwhile Nvidia has these huge, complicated and expensive to produce monolithic boards. There's something to he said about AMD's ability to deliver 80% of Nvidia's performance with an architecture that's far smaller than Nvidia's in terms of die size. Having a smaller die size is helpful because it makes scaling easier long term. Unless Nvidia makes drastic changes we might see them slowing down performance gain gen over gen (which we're kind of seeing already) That's why I think AMD can match Nvidia at the top at some point soon. As for Intel, all they have to do is make sure they have good support for all relevant APIs and then they can keep launching midrange GPUs until they're ready to go harder. At this point Nvidia's main advantage is their software and they've worked on it for decades so it'll be difficult for others to compete in that aspect.

Took a gamble and bought a 6700 XT a couple weeks ago (from a 1660S that was no longer meeting my needs) since I figured the 4060 would suck. It doesn't suck as much as I expected it, but the 6700 XT is definitely the way to go imo (if you can find one at the $340 mark or lower, of course). I do miss NVENC (I actually am a person who'd make use of it, now I'm on AMF for instant replay and x264 for standard encode), but the power of this card and the surprisingly quiet fans under medium load because of the downclocking is... well, I'll tell myself it's worth the tradeoff. Also 12GB of VRAM, which is nice future proofing - we'll see how quickly or (likely) not 8GB becomes a widespread problem.

Hi Steve and Team, great video... like always. I want to point out, NIVIDA did not drop the MSRP for the 60series in Europe.... 3060 MSRP 330€ / 4060 MSRP 330€. So NVIDIA is ABSOLUTLEY DOING EVERYTHING to keep the prices high and disguising it. Adding Layer after Layer, which an average consumer doesnt check. Also the power prices in the "Less Power - Slide" are total BS. The max price for a kWh in Germany is 0.4€ (since January 2023 by Law!)... the average price is 0.35€ and the latest price is 0.28€. I life in Germany and i am paying 0.275€. The prices for the UK also seem to be totally out of Date... much lower now. This graphics card is a 4050 and NIVIDIA could sell it for a price of 180€, which yould be a fair deal (for customer and NVIDIA). Even the "critical" reviews do not drive home this crucial point! Please dont have empathy for any marketing BS. Also: no Investor will leave NVIDIA, because they are offering fair priced end consumer products! Every Manager who belives a statment like this is simply admitting to be bad at his job... or lying and greedy! Like all end customer, all investors can be "tricked". Anyway... like all companies reaching 80% of market share... NIVDIA will also start to struggle hard in about 3 - 5 years, when the self inflicted disapoitnment from investors and end customer kicks in. Hopefully with INTEL in the 3rd gen and AMD doing AMD-stuff, we will have a healthy market for GPUs back then aswell. Looking forward to it.

The 7600 basically matches the Cores/TMUs/ROPs of the 6600/6650 XT, but they down clocked it and called it an improved upon 6600, so AMD is doing the right thing by not calling it 7600 XT. While Nvidia takes the 3060 and cuts everything, including the bus and calls it a 4060/TI. They are basically pulling their 4080 12 GB shenanigans all over again with the 4060 and 4060 TI cards instead of calling them 4050 series like they should.
@couriersix2443 10 місяців тому
@@anotherfinesith288 yes, exactly. The 30 series was so successful because each tier of card (xx50, xx60, xx70, ti variants, etc) all either matched or surpassed the performance offered by each higher tier of the 20 series.

Only real difference I could think of off the top of my head is that the 7600 *might* have slightly better RT performance as it's on RDNA 3 but realistically none of the entry to midrange AMD cards should be considered if you want a "good" RT experience.
