The fact that Amazon deliver the graphics card without additional packaging and placed it at the door make this even better. It's bring "Who would steal this sh**" vibe.

don't worry guys, next gen the 5060 will be marketed at 720p instead

For perspective, to those that may be too young to remember. In 2016, AMD Launched the RX 480 and RX 470. It launched along side Battlefield 1, which to this day, looks better, than some AAA games (cough, starfield) and still looks absolutely insane. The RX 470 was MARKETED as a 1080p, 60fps, MAX SETTINGS card in a game that didn't even launch yet, and set the standard for graphics fidelity in first person shooters. The 470 was also capable of getting 60 FPS at 1080p, max settings, in the witcher 3, probably the most demanding title at the time and was barely a year old. The RX 470 cost 179, and the RX 480 cost 199. Accounting for inflation, that would make them 230$ and 260$ respectively. The fact that a card for 299$ can't play a game like atmoic heart or the last of us at 1080p at 60 fps...even with NVIDIAS SUPPORT IN THOSE GAMES. Is sad. Its also sad that the card from the previous generation runs better most of the time... I won't even mention how in 2016 the RX 480 8GB at 230$ was marketed as a 1440p card...before 1440p even went mainstream....... And another problem...is the 3060ti costs around 250$ used....

The delivery driver knew what he was doing, you can leave that at the door for a month and no one will steal it

It's not the card issue, its price issue.

Intel ARC A770 16gb is a far better value in my opinion. Bought one in December, and it's been fantastic. No problem running games at ultra settings in 1440p and even full 4k on low to medium settings depending on the game. But I would highly suggest it if you only have $300 for a GPU as it comes in at $299. I get 130+fps a 160hz at 1440p on my Ultrawide LG monitor and 60-80 at 4k 60hz on my TV playing on dayz... will only get better with a higher refresh rate. Don't listen to the nay sayers, these Intel Cards are not bad.

Nvidia wrong named it... it's a RTX 4050.

now introducing the RTX 5060 with 4GB of VRAM and is recommended for 480p to get 60fps

RTX 4060 is not bad itself, just don't consider it as an upgrade if you already have anything better than a GTX 1070.

I WAS IN THAT THREAD! i was assuring to the guy though. told him not to let people get him down cause a new gpu is a new gpu. he was upgrading from something realllllly old anyways, so it was an actual upgrade for him. Plus it was the best he could afford so i just told him to go play and enjoy some games. 45-50 fps isnt optimal, but it is playable for single player. I remember being extremely poor and having to game on systems not meant for it. deleting textures out of game files and still only getting 26 fps... first gaming pc played skyrim at 48 fps and i loved skyrim. played it on that system for years before my first prebuilt. Budget gaming... its allot of compromises. if you dont have the money, sometimes you have to take what you can get. thankfully theres allot of optimizations in the Modder scene. Remember to always dl afterburner and look up oc guides on YT! keep your hardware longer regaurdless of how good/bad it is!

0:57 In regards to the Amazon packaging issue, Amazon has actually made it so that some items are shipped in their bare boxes by default to reduce packaging waste. At the check out, there should be an option ro ship with or without Amazon packaging, and the with packaging option even has in parentheses "hide what's inside". As far as I know this should be free, but results may vary? Make sure you toggle this option when buying valuable/expensive stuff.

AD107 is a 50-class chip. In fact, all of the 4000 cards (except maybe the "4090") are shifted by 1-2 tiers than they SHOULD be. This entire generation is a major skip.

the best part of the 4060 is that it came in a low profile version for itx builds.

Man I gotta say, I love your approach to testing things here. We need more 'average' type people making content about tech and PC gaming

Loving my new AM5 system with 4060ti 16gb vram. Everything in ultra on 4k big screen over 100 fps. Dont believe the 4060 haters

rtx 4060 is getting old so fast man... i'm happy with my rx 6800 with 16gb vram

The problem is the price. This should have been a 4050 and priced acordingly. But 3060 level performance for 50% less energy use is kinda crazy!

Basically the improvement from samsung 8nm to tsmc 4nm was huge, but rather than distribute that benefit throughout the lineup they gave the most of it to the high end cards, and used as small of a die size as they could get away with for the lower end cards, to my understanding. The 4060's die size is so small, it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually cheaper to make than the 3060, even being a newer node and all. So the 4060 in the end is like a 60% increase in performance per watt, but not in raw performance. Great video Vex! I enjoy your "conversational" style of videos..

As an old man of 47 it does more than enough to satisfy my casual need for a graphics card. Happy because I can get 60fps in the games I play with my setup i5-10400f, 16Gb ram and this GPU. It runs smoother and at higher resolution than my xbox series s and I have a lot of fun with that little box. 🙂

5:00 power efficiency man

Finally, someone who, instead of insulting and snubbing a product, provides clear and contextualized reasoning.

I have a 4060 and it does what I need for gaming and other gpu heavy tasks without breaking the bank - so I am quite happy with it. It all about setting real expectations and knowing what you need for your PC

This was honestly a more understandable and commentary review over this card than tech Jesus and some other UKpostsrs. Keep up the good work!

Just compare the die size of the 2060 (445mm) to the 4060 (159mm) and that will tell you what you need to know. That doesn’t even include the bus width shrinking as well from 192 to 128 bit. Nvidia took a 4050 and renamed it to a 4060 and jacked up the price. If you bought a 4060 you were tricked and I feel for you.

I’m now sitting with a budget of about 750 dollars (for the entire system unit), and for several days now I’ve been trying to decide which video card to buy... It’s hard... I’ve been saving this money for quite a long time, I’m not a super rich person, but with the situation that I have now (I’m from Ukraine), I understand that postpone the purchase of a new computer is not worth it... To understand, now I’m writing from my old computer, which has a 2GB r9 380 running. For me, a new computer will be a real big leap forward. The 4060 in my stores is $40 cheaper than the RX 6700 xt, which is quite a lot. And according to the tests, they seem to be very similar, despite the fact that the 4060 has all sorts of new technologies and is generally newer. Some advise not to worry and take the 4060, others advise to take the 6700 xt because it has more memory, while there is this 4060 hate all around... I don’t know what to do =/

For future Amazon orders, there should be an option to have the product ship in Amazon packaging (they put the box in a box)

I just hope the RTX 5060 is gonna be better... and also having 12GB VRAM at the very least, or my depression are gonna increase

You could leave this card outside your front door for a week and it'd still be there it sucks that bad

thats the problem . you compare 3050 to 1650 you see the jump :D, but when you go to 3060 to 4060 you see the scam

Super happy you talked about Blender towards the end. I'm curious how the smaller memory bus effects video rendering tho.

I got a 4060 for my Plex server. Its been great! Coming from a 1060 6gb using hand break, it was a welcome upgrade.

128 bit memory bus says everything

The one and only thing that I'll give the 40 series lineup kudos for is their power efficiency. Goddamn is it fucking impressive, but I wouldn't doubt it having to do with how small the memory buses are

Nice video dude thanks for sharing the info. I was actually planning on getting a new gaming PC with the RTX 4060 GPU but changed my mind lol. Think I'll go with the RX 6750XT instead or wait for the RX 6800 come down a little bit in price.

as always the problem is the price. the card itself is not bad and if it was 200$ everyone will call it good

Upgraded from 1660ti to rtx4060. Rtx3060 was like $310, and rtx4060 at $330 that was within my budget. Rx7600 was priced near $320 lowest but i skipped it because my psu is only 450w. So its not an issue with rtx4060. And rx6700xt was $400 in my country which was significantly over my budget and i would have also needed to upgrade psu for that. So i guess it was a fair choice to go with the rtx4060. I play on 1080p monitor so its not an issue and also run dlss quality mode if the game has good implementation. Can't tell much of a difference unless i really look for it. Sometimes its even better. I played horizon zero dawn and dlss fixed the foliage shimmering that it had with taa.

was able to snag a rtx 4060ti for only $250, at that price point it would be hard to beat. it has been a decent card and defiantly a huge upgrade over the 960ti I had in their previously.

“It’s a canon event, there is nothing we can do” got me laughing

When I saw laptop with 4050 on my local market and also tiny low profile 4060, it instantly flash my mind that Nvidia relegate 50 series to laptop and mobile stuff and 60 series become the new entry level on desktop.

just got a 1440p external monitor and 4060 laptop recently, loving it so far. I know 8gb vram in modern games might not be enough but just dropping the texture quality fixes vram usage in most cases and lets be honest even if it had higher vram RT would be smoother but still not 60+ fps so realistically no one is going to sacrifice fps for RT that sometimes isn't even that noticeable. I got a great deal on the 4060 and I'm happy.

1:10 the fact that nobody stole that 720p card speaks for itself.

i just bought 4060ti 16gb as my 3090 failed on me would not bothe runless its the 16gb but im happy with it tbh and the frame gen and ray reconstruction really change things and for me didnt have issues like ur having when playing at 1440p.... like i am honestly watching ur footage thinking u have a broken one or something lol

your sarcasm is giving me so much life! 🥰🥰

It's really weird that no one around here seems to mention the Intel Arc A770 which is about the same price now and thanks to matured drivers runs laps around the 4060 in performance and ray tracing and with it's 16GB VRAM scales excellently to any resolution. The only thing that NVIDIA has going for them at that price point is power efficiency, which is not a big concern for gamers.

i got my hands on a 4060ti 8GB a few months ago off ebay (sealed) for 300$ (+7$ Shipping) and its ran all the games i play, and its a very nice card in general, mine is also factory OC'd to some extent and on 3D Mark Time Spy i can easily get 13765 points (Model is Colorful Igame 4060ti Ultra 8GB, 3 Fan)

I have a 4060 and it's a very good card, I got stable 90 FPS on Cyberpunk with RT and DLSS, I don't know how you got only 60, but from a daily 4060 user, the card is nice, I think the only issue is the price, so I think it's worth it if you can get it for less than $300

Vex is now officially in my top 10 fav tech youtubers now

interesting i have an rtx 4060 w/ ryzen 5 5600x, no issues, love the rtx ai features, i dont play CB2077 but i do play tarkov, siege, pubg, cod wz, and no issues all of them excluding tarkov runs at 144fps locked

The 4060 gets allot of hate because it's barely a generational upgrade and is often beat by its last gen model. This card should have been at least 20% to 30% faster in most games.

I used to run a 1050 ti for 6 years and just recently bought a 4060 recently, and I have to say it's enough. It's very cheap compared to any other cards (at least here) and even though it does lack the 12 gb of VRAM it still runs everything fine. Especially because I'm used to all-low settings. What really mattered to me was DLSS 3 though.

the 3060 was the card in my first computer and I gotta say, going into it I thought I should keep my expectations low and not expect crazy good graphics at high fps and I think that's what made the card such a great experience for me. The performance always hit higher than expected and at the end of the day, after completing a hitman mission or a risk of rain run, it truly didn't matter that I was running a last gen budget card because I was having fun.

its interesting how people just assume 4060 is a bad gpu cuz its the lowest tier, ive got a 3060 which is a little worse and i play anything i want on it , i used it for 4k 60fps, and now im using it for 1440p 170hz, and if u just lower ur standards and use enough DLSS and play on medium settings, you can play anything even on 4k

Now that the latest 4060 variant has 16Gb VRAM it's so bizarre that the 4070 still only has 12Gb.

I am currently using an RTX 3060 in my PC. I do everything at 1440p. When I move to upgrade it'll be the 4070 ti SUPER which rests at around the $500-600 mark. I personally never use ray tracing, but games like Breakpoint could definitely use a faster card with more vram.

I went from a gtx 1650 (laptop) plus playing console to the rtx 3060 (laptpp) to a proper desktop gpu, the 4060. Im blown away with the gameplay.... ignornace can be bless haha

Get a 2080Ti for $220. Got 11GB Vram and everything.

Amazon is correct: if they show it's a 4060 and nobody gonna steal the package. If is just an Amazon package, they could gamble. lol

currently using a 4060 3 fan card and(paired with a R7 5700x and 32gb ram 3600mhz) it works good I can play all the games that I want at high fps no issues at all

i just tested cyberpunk and at 1080p RT Overdrive with DLSS -Q and FG i get 70-74 FPS with good latency really good experience

I will consider 4060low profile for sff build, really small one.

My RTX 4060 ran Diablo IV with rt on and maxed settings with frame generation pretty smoothly with some tiny lag but for the combat it didn't really lag at all. and it ran the same as a rtx 4080 in 4k.

I recently bought a "budget gaming pc" that has the RTX 3050 in it, and I love it for what it is. I run things at 1440p and it does just fine for me! That said - I've been using off the shelf desktops for web/graphic design for decades so the upgrade is huge in context for me. I still want to upgrade asap. Mine is the 8GB, wasn't aware there was a 6.

17:10 that is fricking amazing

Lack of competition is major problem.

Yeah I wish I had other options then this after FINALLY upgrading from a laptop. Great performance in comparison to that laptop but I do feel like we are just being sold the worse at the moment and I don't think it will improve any time soon. As a note: I had no choice but to get the 4060 because it was the only one available in the country that wasn't either literally a 3050 or less or a graphics card that would cost me a kidney

i mean my last graphics card was an RTX 1660 super, and now i got the 4060 for my new build. As long as I can play at 1080p on most games with a 60+ fps average, I can happily say it runs like a beast compared to my last lol

I like your channel. I’m from Latvia 🇱🇻 I personally start build my pc on AMD from 2009, but whit Nvidia graphics cards, before that I build my pc only on Intel and Nvidia. So I build my new pc in 2015 only on AMD, graphics card and cpu, I’m not amd fan boy. But if u want max FPS per $$$, it’s a best choice 😊 P.S. - Sorry for my bad English 😂

17:15 was against 4060 until i saw this. Nice render times

I remember my first PC build ten years ago. i5-4690K and a gtx960. That thing didn't care about any game you threw at it back then. now the equivalent setup ten years later can't keep up with new games even at an arguably "low" resolution by todays standards. Guess I'll stay at 1080p forever lol

I have the RTX 4060 and I've been really enjoying it. It does run everything I like to play excellently so I have no issues with it. I've played those VRAM hog games with it. It's Serviceable it's not anything to write home about but at least you can play games with it. Apart from very VRAM heavy games this little thing still packs good performance and isn't that bad.

You know what will fix this? Continuing to exclusively buy nvidia products. We deserve this. This is our doing, this is our bed, now we will sleep in it.

im still happy with my 1080ti which i bought 2018

Just upgraded to the 4060 coming from a GTX 1050 TI and ofc it feels great in comparison, I did investigate before my purchase and the tipping point for me getting this over the 3060 12gb was the lower power consumption, with the 3060 I would have got have gotten a new PSU which made the price difference much slimmer, overall I am very happy I never push for ultra settings or "playstation" type games and I know that AI tech will make this card serviceable for many years

I think that the main reason for that anger towards the post was because it was a gigabyte card which is known to crack, but other reviews still say it’s bad but the last straw was the gigabyte cracking (you tested a zotac card though)

4060 is just a badge-creeped 4050ti. Last gen, the real 3060 was the 3060ti, and this gen the real 4060 is the 4070. HOWEVER, if this card was 230-250$ instead of 300-330$, it wouldn’t matter what it’s called because it would’ve been excellent price/perf. It’s effectively a RTX2080 that pulls 115W. This is the best card the SFF market has seen in years. It’s just about 20% overpriced imo.

coming from a 750ti the 4060 was a great upgrade literally can play anything.

This cards use case is very small. But the 4060 low profile cards have a very good SFF use case.. I just ordered one for a HP Z2 G4 SFF. Coming from an AMD Wx4100 it will not disappoint.. my other computer has a 6700 XT but my couch computer needed the upgrade

I kinda feel the comment "this is $300??" as I recently bought the 4070 Super at a hefty $726 (converted from Norwegian kroner) , and I got the tiny ASUS at 227mm length because I needed it to fit my tiny case. Turned out that while it fits, it really does not and I the dumb power connector stops me from closing the case. I ordered a trick 180 degree adapter and that would make it close, but immediately after I ordered that I decided to upgrade to a big-boy-pants-case to futureproof my upgrade path. But my point here is, that size is not everything, as my 4070 Super is more or less exactly the same size as the 4060 show here, but it is a completely different animal. Would love to see more low profile cards in the 4070 Super type segment as by finagling the PCB layout there is really no reason NOT to have a LP 4070S.

I have 4060, upgraded whole rig from i5-10400 + gtx1650 to i5-12400 + rtx4060. I don't know what you are talking about, for my 30min gaming a week it's awesome 😅

RTX 4060 microstuddering is real and made me hate it instantly. Do not buy it!

I've bought one too... The low profile version from Gigabyte. It's tiny, it's cute and probably the only version of that card worth the pricetag... Cause the only alternatives in this form factor are either RTX A2000 or A4000 which are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive. I would never spend that money for a full size 4060. Not when the 6700XT exists (which I also have in another build)...

NVIDIA hasn't been making cards designed for gamers but instead designing card designed for share holders. I agree with your end of video review about the card. Though the video my brain was screaming that it should have been called the 4050. It was nice to see an honest review that talked about the cards strong point and then come to the exactly the same conclusion about it's identity in the 40 series I did while watching the video. I bet they would sell infinitely more of them if they did called it the 4050 or even 4050ti.

Nvidia: We will give you RT support in our every GPU! Buy only what you have to do, to enjoy full it's potential ( but don't forget to turn our advanced Frame Generation), is to buy our 4090.. Oh you have no money? It's Okey, we have 4060. Yeah, but it ca run Ray Tracing? Of course it can "run"...

i literally played cyberpunk on ultra settings with max ray tracing and frame gen at 90-100 fps solid, and you know what? the delay isn't even noticeable with reflex enabled. so wow handicapping a card of its specialty seems such a good idea for a fair analysis

The 4060 is really a laptop part, in that context it’s actually pretty impressive. People have crazy expectations these days. 10-15 years ago no one expected to run their games at max settings, in fact fine tuning your settings was part of the fun. In reality whilst actually playing a game instead of pixel peeping you will have just as much fun turning down some settings. I bought a ps5 recently, it costs less than most graphics cards and looks great without having to stare at frame rate counters and obsessing over texture level quality

Your system specs in the description would be nice. Nice vid though!

yeah its performance in newer games like alan wake 2 and starfield make it seem like its going to need replacing fast which was probably their goal. it would be a nice upgrade to my 1060 BUT that anemic 8gb is not good when games are starting to push over that.

bro has brass balls positing this here

im very happy with my purchase, went from my 1060 6gb to a 4060 and i am loving the boost :)

It depends mostly on the perspective you choose. I've upgraded half a year ago from a 6 year old desktop with GTX 1070 that died to a Lenovo Legion Slim 7 gen 8, which is a nice laptop that only came with 4060. I'm in Europe, but I bought the laptop in the US while visiting for $1280 with taxes. That's the price I'd pay just for RTX 4080 GPU here at the time, the whole laptop for the price of just the GPU. And I'm playing some games everyday and they run very well, in fact much better than on my previous PC. I play with GPU OC using my custom mode that gives me quiet mode fan curve with balanced mode performance. It actually runs quieter than my old gaming PC. But I can see your point.. $300 for such a GPU alone is not a good price.

Just upgraded mine from GTX1060 (6gb) to RTX 4060 I have a great experience with it for past 4 months of it... I would say that vram is kinda dissapointing and the price of it but when you have a older card like 750 to 1060 it would be a nice upgrade (When you only have money!!!)😁

I'd buy it if it was called a 4050 and was 150 euro. That's actually what it definitely is but nvidia thinks we're idiots

Legendary GTX 1060 to this……thing. Egh.

Last year I decided between the Arc A770LE and the RTX4060. Thank God I bought the Arc. A few driver updates, and it eats the 4060 like nothing from what I see from these benchmarks with raytracing. In Cyberpunk with maxed out raytracing (not path) I get like 60fps with no upscaling at 1080p. The minimal difference between the 3060 and 4060, and the 8GB VRAM was the deciding factor.

I did the math I paid about $5 per percent improvement. Also my case is so old any card longer than it won’t fit. I’d need to redo my whole computer to upgrade to anything more. I’ve literally had 0 issue ray tracing and frame maxing on my 4060 according to benchmark mine is at the high end of the performance bell curve for a 4060.

I think your 4060 has a hardware problem because I have an msi 4060 and in the cyberpunk game in 1080 with high quality and ray tracing medium without path tracing I have about 105 fps

Most reviwers have done the tests wrong, since the 20 series in which the AI ​​was introduced with the dlss/dlaa which is not a rescaler but a reconstructor, dlss should always be used because nvidia gpu's are not for rasterization, they are not for Native images, on the other hand, are to reconstruct an image from a lower resolution to a higher one (dlss) or from the base resolution using antialiasing (dlaa). This action reduces vram consumption, increases the fps and when the dlss is activated with rt or pt acts as dinoizer which is the noise remover in the image. By deactivating dlss and fg you are using the nvidia gpu as if it were an amd one which is just rasterization or brute force and the rasterization uses more vram that is why it is seen that the 4060 lacks vram because its architecture is made to use dlss and fg and not to do rasterization only. Another thing, the 60 series is for 1080p, 70 1440p, 80 90 4k, if you try higher resolutions without using dlss or fg you will clearly notice sttutering due to the lack of vram because you are not using dlss or fg in that case Nvidia graphics will not give a good performance and this is wrong?. No, their architecture, how they work, was designed to use dlss, dlaa, fg, reflex. if you don't want image reconstructors, frame generators and reflex, don't use nvidia.

Great video as always Vex, keep it up.

I build PCS and for the money people want to spend, usually they want to spend under $1,000 for a PC, so the parts plus my time to build it the 4060 is about the only option I can get, unless I go used. And pairing that with a 12600k, you actually get some damn nice 1080p high refresh gaming. You can build one with a z series MB for about 700 bucks.

The power efficiency is AMAZING and so is the card. People who want to buy the 4060 should, I got it and I am very happy with it. At the rate of how these people are reviewing cards it's personal opinion atp...
