ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Ti TUF OC

[W1zzard]

The ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Ti TUF comes with a factory overclock out of the box. ASUS is including a triple-slot, triple-fan, full-metal cooler design that that achieves impressive noise levels and temperatures. The TUF is one of only few cards that includes a dual BIOS feature, with quiet mode.

So apart for unnecessarily large cooler even the PCB is stupidly big to justify the Shitsus tax.

Similar thoughts. Single 8pin powered card, with a huge triple slot cooler, and tons of wasted PCB space. The temps are about as good as they could be, but could be done with a much simpler cooling solution.

You can pretty much put a picture of this card next to the definition of pointless. Huge cooler for no good reason, 6 phase VRM for GPU (vs reference 4), but only a single phase for VRAM (vs reference 2).

Also, there's a discrepancy somewhere. This review says 2500 MHz VRAM is good for 20Gbps, the review for the FE card says the same 2500 MHz VRAM is "only" good for 18Gbps.

In the EU, with a VAT mostly around 20%, we're looking at an extra ~100€ on top of the list price. Insane.

best response to a card like this is "don't buy anything"

GPU is an upgrade market, if the new stuff isn't better than the old stuff, just keep your old stuff, or buy used

 

[MrDweezil]

4060ti is already tough sell at $400, but this is a joke at $460.

 

[Bomby569]

you forgot arc driver version again i think

 

[wheresmycar]

so a PCIe x8 limited 128-bit 8GB gimped card cut from the 50-class performance tier for almost HALF A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

They must take us for mugs!!

At this rate, by 2030 we'll all be either filthy rich to buy into this madness or revert back to playing 3D tetris at 720p 30hz on a 20-30 year old used handheld

$45 more and you can get a 6800 xt that has double the vram and gets 30 fps more in God of War and variety of other games.

lmao that is sad.

$460 for an 8GB card.
LOL, no.

The 4060 Ti is a terrible idea at $399, it's why it's the worst-selling model this generation, and that's really saying something because this is the worst-selling generation Nvidia's had in their entire lifespan as a company. You think Fermi was bad? It sold 5x more than the 40-series. Even the Geforce FX "dustbuster" series of hot, noisy, late-to-market GPUs with inferior performance/API support/colour-depth/features sold well enough compared to Ada.

$300 is pushing the limits of what an 8GB card should cost. There are 6-month old games that it already struggles with, and if you're not playing new games, why on earth do you need to buy a new GPU in the first place?!

 

[Mr. Perfect]

The RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB launches in July and gives people a chance to put their money where their mouth is. I'm definitely looking forward to testing the 16 GB version, but I doubt the performance differences can justify spending an extra $100.

Nah, $100 for 8GB of VRAM isn't worth it. Not on this tier of card, any way. This $460 8GB version is any better, mind you.

Still, the benchmarks between 16GB and 8GB should be interesting! Especially the lower percentiles at 1440p.

Yeah tbh if I was buying a GPU right now I would just pick up a second hand RX 6800/xt for cheaper and call it a day. 'brand new prices are still a no go where I live but the second hand prices droped a lot, I could pick up a 6800/xt for cheaper than what I paid for my TuF 3060 Ti in 2022 september and a lot cheaper than this 4060 Ti'

 

[Double-Click]

This thing is a literal clown shoe.

6 phase VRM for GPU (vs reference 4), but only a single phase for VRAM (vs reference 2).

Maybe that's one of the reasons why ASUS GPUs are infamous for their coil whine.

A few days ago Mindfactory was selling the 6800 Gaming Z Trio at 400 euros. No XT but you are getting 16 GB VRAM the cooling is top league too.

Yeah thats CRAZY!!

Even the $320/$350 12GB 6700XT/6750XT probably trades blows with the 4060 TI. I guess NVIDIA is sticking to the RT/DLSS3/efficiency perks in "attempting" to justify these prices... i guess for some it would make sense but definitely not on a 4060 TI 50-class-tier 8GB 128bit skimper stinker of a card.

 

[Icon Charlie]

As stated before. The 6800/XT are looking better and better against this type of nonsense. And if you own a 5700/XT you don't need to upgrade and spend excessive money against the 4060TI. You are better off with spending it on the 6800/XT series.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

I tried really hard to remember a worse Nvidia gpu at launch in the last decade and I couldn't come up with one. The only card that comes to mind is the GTX 960 that sometimes lost to its predecessor the GTX 760 the only reason I don't think it was actually a worse card is because it was only 200 usd which was 50 usd cheaper at least.

To people hatin' too much of a cooler for 4060 Ti for sure increasing the price:

There is RGBTG society - ones who demand from the card to look well and fit their amazing RGB and Tempered Glass. Some of them can't afford more than 4060 Ti, so card consuming not much power to the point of coolers in type of Zotac Twin Edge being adequate. Problem is, such look like shit and poor when RGBTG people always want their card to look bEAfY, gaming and powerful. So here ASUS TUF or AORUS MASTER got them covered!

I think most would be ok with the price if the card performed a lot better. Talking about the 4060ti in general not this variant of it.

 

[sLowEnd]

The cooler and PCB are hilariously oversized

 

[Minus Infinity]

Wow other than the great efficiency does Nvidia actually know what progress is? Basically a 3070 at 1080p, slower at 1440p even in RTing. The 8GB version should be the non Ti 4060 at $300 and it would be a decent upgrade. The 16GB version would be better as a 12GB on 192bit bus at say $450ish, ie it should be a cut down 4070 on AD104.

Jon Peddie Research has just published the GPU market share results for Q1 2024 which show a big decline in shipments for NVIDIA, AMD & Intel.

• JPR found that AIB shipments during the quarter decreased from the last quarter by 12.6%, which is below the 10-year average of -4.9%.

• Total AIB shipments decreased by -38.2% this quarter from last year to 6.3 million units and were down from 7.16 million units last quarter.

It's interesting that we just don't see a news article about a bad news on TechPowerUP any more. No market declines, no serial failures of most popular SSDs, no security breaches in hundreds of motherboards...

Nice find! Fixed in all affected reviews .. these are 18 Gbps / 2250 MHz

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

$60 more for an oversized cooler and the stupid ASUS tax. At this point Zotac is the better option since they don't put ridiculous coolers or jacking up the price for a xx60 tier card.

 

[Fluffy_Panda]

$460 for a 4060Ti? At this point 4070 looks like a bargain.

And why make it so big and bulky? It's a 160 watt GPU. Just make it 2 slot, 250-270 mm long and call it a day. It's plenty to keep this thing cool and quiet
