GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti WINDFORCE OC GV-N406TWF2OC-16GD

I put this 4060ti into my girlfriend’s gaming rig to replace a 3060 12GB with a failed fan and now I’m a little jealous.

All of the professional reviews I read about this card were kind of “meh”, meaning they weren’t particularly impressed with the performance and the MSRP at the time was about $50 higher before the price drop. Very few mentioned the relative power draw comparing this card to other similarly performing cards on the market.

It’s around 15% to 20% slower in pure rasterization performance at stock speeds compared to my Powercolor Fighter RX 6800 16GB, but it’s just sipping power at anywhere between 90 to 110 watts. If she stresses the 4060ti to the max then the power draw will finally go up to about 150 to 160 watts. She’s also in a better position to game with raytracing and her DLSS looks just a little better than my FSR.

On the power draw side, for comparison, my RX 6800 cruises at around 180 to 190 watts and goes up to 225 watts when I push it very hard. That’s around $60 to $70 dollars extra electricity cost per year compared to her card.

Fans on the 4060ti usually spin between 700 to 900 RPMs and go up to 1,500 RPMs when stressed to the max. My RX 6800 is quite a bit louder with fans spinning between 2,200 RPMs and 2,700 RPMs.

Getting the 4060ti didn’t quite make me regret my RX 6800 purchase but I would have been just as happy to get this instead. This could apply to anyone looking at a 7700xt since it performs almost identically to my card.

Thankyou Gigabyte for making a great model of this 4060ti 16GB!

I got this to put it to work on hardware video encoding, AI video processing and text/image generation. Wanted the 16gb VRAM more than the processing power because some of that stuff really eats it up. If you’re just gaming I’m not sure many games would actually put that much VRAM to use before it hits its limit, but I guess you can never have too much. This has been great so far and it’s probably about 3x faster than the RTX 3050 6gb I was using before, depending on what I’m using it for at the moment. As a bonus it’s pretty good with gaming, but full disclosure I don’t play a lot of newer games. I’ve been able to really crank up the settings on a lot of my favorites.

This card didnt work, sent it back and amazon is just holding my money to make profit off the interest. Amazon has fallen far from where they used to be… I will be using OTHER options to make purchases in the future.

Very good graphics card. Using it for AI with Cuda.

first day of use its a banger…

I had the 3060 8gb and I was struggling with WZ I decided to take a chance to try this GPU the change was amazing I was impressed the performance is amazing huge change.

100% recommended Gigabyte is a very trusted brand

Great performance in a small thing. I do not need the 4070 or 4080 so I went with this. Uograded from a 2070 and the performance jump blew my socks off. 4060 Ti with 16gb ram wirh only 165w power draw, this is just what I needed. Similar power draw as the 2070 but way higher performance and also video encoder for streaming and content creation? With the 16gb vram, this gpu is future proof and can meet heavy demands. Overall, I am very satisfied with this GPU
