The RTX4060 graphics card was officially unbanned and went on sale on June 29, but the price of the non-public version of the graphics card was completely unsupportable. For example, a colorful RTX4060 Ultra W DUO in a certain east, although the page price is 2599 yuan, but enjoy a full discount of 200, the actual price is 2399 yuan. This price is consistent with the recommended price of the NVIDIA public version, which means that the price of RTX4060 is completely unsupportable.
And interestingly, Rainbow on the introduction page of RTX4060, the highlights highlighted are "low power consumption" and "DLSS 3.0", it can be seen that even manufacturers know that the performance of this graphics card is nothing to praise, the only thing that can be taken out is lower power consumption and DLSS 3.0.
It's just that the power consumption is lower, and it's not worth buying for users. For example, the TDP power consumption of the RTX4060 is 160W, and the TDP power consumption of the RTX3060Ti is 265W, which seems to be a lot of difference in values. However, based on 4 hours of use per day, it will save 90 yuan in electricity bills a year. Not to mention that more people will not use it for 4 hours a day.
As for DLSS 3.0, it's not very blown. The following games currently support DLSS 3.0, including "Cyberpunk 2077", "Eternal", "The Witcher III", "Hogwarts: Legacy", etc., a total of 35 games. The number is not much, and the popular works covered are relatively small, and although the official said that more games will be opened to support in the future, it is not clear how long it will take for this pie to be cashed.
As for DLSS 3.0, the official introduction is a deep learning-based supersampling technology, which uses deep learning to "optimize" low-resolution images to high resolution. When the 4K resolution screen is output, the 1080P picture is generated and converted to 4K, which reduces the load capacity of the graphics card and greatly improves the frame rate and response speed. But I thought, taking "The Witcher III" as an example, the basic RTX4060 can reach more than 150fps at 1080P, and the frame rate can also reach more than 100fps at 2K resolution~~ and then optimize the frame rate and picture quality, in fact, the improvement is not obvious.
Therefore, these two highlights of the RTX4060 touted by the manufacturer are not very attractive. So what exactly is the performance of the RTX4060? First of all, compared with the old yellow RTX3060 12G, the graphics memory of RTX4060 has been cut to 8G, and the comprehensive running score has increased by 11%. Specifically compare the difference between RTX4060Ti and RTX3060 12GB running score as follows: to summarize most of the running score software, RTX4060 can maintain an advantage of 13%-16%; After turning on DLSS 2.0, RTX4060 can lead RTX3060 by about 29%; After turning on DLSS 3.0, the RTX4060 is 106% ahead.
Finally, let's summarize the highlights of RTX4060:
(1) Based on NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, it has the third generation of ray tracing unit, supports ray tracing and DLSS 3.0.
(2) At 1080P resolution, you can play the masterpiece of light chasing games, which is a new choice for high-brush e-sports.
(3) It has perfect AI software acceleration, which can greatly improve the efficiency of AI content creation.
(4) Support VSR technology, which can greatly improve video clarity through AI calculation.
(5) It is the first choice for GTX1060 and RTX2060 players
(6) It has an excellent energy efficiency ratio, and long-term use can reduce electricity costs (saving 90 yuan a year)
Overall, the RTX4060 is still a bit of a pitfall. Personally, I think that if the price is reduced to the 2K price, it can be regarded as a dessert card. Now the price is 2399 yuan, I personally recommend choosing RTX3060Ti G6X. However, because the RTX3060Ti G6X has been discontinued, some manufacturers may increase the price in the future (in fact, in addition to Asus and Gigabyte, the RTX3060Ti G6X of other manufacturers is no longer available).
