I. Preface
NVIDIA RTX is the most advanced ray tracing and AI technology platform, and NVIDIA RTX is transforming existing ways of gaming and creating. More than 500 games and apps use RTX for lifelike graphics, thanks to its incredible performance or the latest cutting-edge AI technologies like NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Broadcast. RTX has become the new standard. Entering 2023, the Geforce RTX4060Ti graphics card launched by NVIDIA is praised by the majority of gamers as "the most worthwhile game graphics card to buy in 2023" by the majority of gamers due to its excellent comprehensive strength. This test will give you a detailed analysis of the performance of the 4060Ti graphics card.
二、微星Geforce RTX4060Ti GAMINGX TRIO魔龙显卡概述
Dear gaming enthusiasts, I'd like to share with you my new gem, the MSI Geforce RTX4060Ti GAMINGX TRIO graphics card!
The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card adopts the exterior design of the iconic dragon elements of the previous generation, and further polishes the details. The RGB dragon claw light range on the front of the graphics card has been slightly expanded, and the octagonal fan trim has been replaced with a round shape, making the front of the graphics card more rounded and the overall texture better.
The back plate of the graphics card is made of metal, which not only has high strength and corrosion resistance, but also can effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of the graphics card. The ventilated design allows multiple thermal pads on the inside of the backplate to quickly conduct heat generated by the graphics card into the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the graphics card and improving its stability and longevity.
The MSI RTX 4060 Ti features a triple fan cooling design, in which the fan adopts the new Blade 7 design, dual ball bearings, and 3 fan blades are connected together to form a ring design, which concentrates more airflow into the TRI FROZR 3rd Gen and TWIN FROZR 9th Gen cooling system. The graphics card adopts the new generation of TRI-FROZR 3S heat dissipation design, using 5 core heat pipes, the contact part of the heat pipe and the vapor chamber is processed into a square, so that it completely touches the surface of the vapor chamber, with special heat dissipation fin design, it has a faster heat transfer speed, lower noise, and more powerful heat dissipation efficiency.
The design of the MSI Geforce RTX4060Ti GAMINGX TRIO graphics card is also very cool. Its appearance is unique, with a black body and red LED lights, which is really very technological. What's more, this graphics card is modest in size and doesn't take up much space, making it easy for me to fit into my case.
Overall, the MSI Geforce RTX4060Ti GAMINGX TRIO graphics card is a really good graphics card. It's powerful, the temperature control is excellent, and the design is cool, and I really love it. If you're also a gaming enthusiast, I really recommend you to try this graphics card, I'm sure you'll love it too!
The 4060Ti graphics card, as NVIDIA's two mid-to-high-end gaming graphics cards (available in 8GB and 16GB versions) launched by NVIDIA in 2023, uses the latest Ampere architecture, with more CUDA cores and higher clock speeds. Compared to the previous generation of graphics cards, the 4060Ti has a significant improvement in performance while maintaining relatively low power consumption and temperature.
3. Establishment of the measured environment
In order to test the performance of the 4060Ti graphics card more accurately, we built a high-performance gaming test platform. The configuration is as follows:
Processor: AMD Ryzen7-7700X
内存:32GB DDR5 6000MHz
主板:微星MAG B60M MORTAR WIFI
显卡:微星Geforce RTX4060Ti GAMINGX TRIO魔龙显卡
硬盘：Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD
电源：微星MAG A850GL 850W 80+ Gold
The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card has 4,352 stream processors, 34 RT cores, 136 texture units, 48 ROP units, 32MB L2 cache, core clocks 2310-2670MHz, and an 8-pin power connector. It uses 8GB of GDDR6 video memory, 128-bit bit width, 288GB/s bandwidth, and an equivalent rate of 18Gbps. The default power is 160W, and the maximum power is 195W. In fact, everyone's biggest dissatisfaction with the RTX4060 system is that the video memory bit is 128bit wide, and in fact, no one can say how much worse it is in many performances such as games.
Fourth, performance testing
- 3DMark benchmarks
We started by benchmarking the RTX4060Ti graphics card using 3DMark. In the Time Spy test, the 4060Ti received an extremely high score, showing its excellent performance in DX12 games. And in the Fire Strike test, the graphics card also performed well, proving its strength in DX11 games.
- Game test
We selected the most representative popular game "Cyberpunk 2077" for actual testing. Gaming experience on RTX4060Ti at the most mainstream 1440P resolution. Run three built-in tests, all with High quality settings, three times set to Ray Tracing Medium, DLSS Super Performance, Ray Tracing Medium, DLSS Off, and Ray Tracing and DLSS All Off.
First of all, under the medium ray tracing and DLSS super performance, the 4060Ti magic dragon ran a maximum of 145 frames, with an average of 109 frames, which is a bit exaggerated to say proud, but the performance of more than 100 frames under ray tracing medium and DLSS super performance at least shows that the European wild ass is all-weather supportive of NVIDIA's new technology.
Under the condition of medium ray tracing、DLSS off,4060Ti magic dragon can only run very hard to run up to 38 frames,An average of 30 frames of slide level frames,To say that the slide is also a little exaggerated,After all, there is no obvious lag in the whole process,But in ray tracing, you don't turn onDLSS,It's really miserable to a certain extent,At least it shows that NVIDIA's ray tracing technology improves the image quality obviously、And the pressure on the graphics card is also very intuitive。
Finally, ray tracing、DLSS is fully turned off pure games with high image quality performance,4060Ti magic dragon ran a maximum of 83 average 56 frames satisfactory results,That is to say4060Ti magic dragon can run "Cyberpunk 2077" smoothly in 2K high image quality without any halo blessing。
五、GeForce Experience太爽了
NVIDIA GeForce Experience (GFE) is software developed by NVIDIA to provide features such as game optimization, driver updates, game recording, and live streaming. If the A card is dead on the driver, then the N card is to play the driver alive.
In addition to automatically updating graphics card drivers, GFE also provides game recording and live streaming functions. This is made possible by NVIDIA ShadowPlay technology. ShadowPlay can record gameplay footage in the background and save recordings or stream them to platforms like Twitch if needed. ShadowPlay can also improve game performance by using NVIDIA's hardware encoders to reduce the load on the CPU.
6. Power consumption and temperature test
In terms of power consumption, we used Furmark to test the 4060Ti at full power. The results show that the power consumption of the card is excellent at full load, with 167.7W well below the average for its class. This allows players to enjoy a high-performance gaming experience without worrying about exorbitant electricity bills. In terms of temperature, we used long-term benchmarks to observe the cooling performance of the 4060Ti Magic Dragon. The results show that the temperature of the card remains within the safe range of 45.2°C (15°C at room temperature) even under prolonged high-load operation. This is due to MSI's excellent thermal design and manufacturing process, which ensures that the graphics card remains stable and reliable even when running under high loads.
7. Comprehensive evaluation
To sum up, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is indeed one of the best gaming graphics cards to buy in 2023 due to its excellent overall performance and reasonable price positioning. For the majority of gaming enthusiasts, choosing a powerful and affordable graphics card can undoubtedly bring a better gaming experience. And the 4060Ti is such an excellent product that can meet the needs of most gamers.
