The RTX 4060 Ti brings the best of Nvidia's new features, but it has a critical flaw that makes it tough to recommend in 2023.
The RTX 4060 Ti isn’t one of the best graphics cards you can buy. It’s hard to even call it a good graphics card, with reports suggesting that there has been “zero” interest in Nvidia’s latest GPU. I’ve tested the card, and I was going to review it, but this is a GPU that challenges the status quo.
It’s faster, for sure Let’s get this out of the way upfront: The RTX 4060 Ti is faster than the RTX 3060 Ti. When we look at the horsepower on tap, it wins — and that’s apparent if you look at my standard test suite of games. That’s clearest at 1080p, where the RTX 4060 Ti provides a solid 27% improvement over the RTX 3060 Ti and nearly matches the RTX 3070 Ti.
Look at the RTX 3060 Ti compared to the RTX 3070 Ti. At 1080p, the RTX 3070 Ti is around 29% faster, and at 4K, it’s just over 31% faster. Similarly, the RX 6600 XT is 16% faster than the RX 6600 at 1080p, but it’s 21% faster at 4K. You occasionally see some regressions depending on what two GPUs you’re comparing, but you shouldn’t see performance scaling get nearly cut in half when going from 1080p to 4K.
That’s not the worst of it, either. In The Last of Us Part 1, the RTX 3060 Ti is 12% faster at 1080p and nearly 40% faster at 1440p. There’s more to the story with this chart that I’ll dig into in the next section. In reality, the RTX 3060 Ti should only be around 10% faster than the RTX 4060 Ti, but even that’s really bad news. As a side note, these tests were run with the latest patch to The Last of Us on PC, which specifically addresses VRAM usage.
If you look at the chart above, you can see that the game went down to around three frames per second for several seconds in brief spurts, resulting in a much lower average compared to the RTX 3060 Ti. Normally, I’d throw out this data, but it’s a consistent problem on the RTX 4060 Ti. My best guess is that the VRAM buffer needs new data streamed in, resulting in a big slowdown.
In a bit of prelaunch astroturfing, Nvidia explained that it was able to use a thinner bus due to an increased L2 cache on the RTX 4060 Ti. This isn’t exactly a new concept — AMD introduced its Infinity Cache to improve memory bandwidth a couple of years ago — but the idea is that a larger cache increases total bandwidth, rather than relying on a larger memory bus alone.
