    Damn I put a 4060 in my wife’s PC. She only plays cozy games so I’m sure it’ll be fine for her lmao

    Its a fine card its just basically no better than a 3060 which you wouldn't expect from a gen upgrade. You're basically paying the difference to be able to use frame gen.

    [–]velphegor666 92 points93 points  (79 children)

    Yeah thats it, its an okay card but it was supposed to be an upgrade over the 3060 but yet barely better.

      Yes, you're fine. People are a bit paranoid on reddit when it comes to GPU. Any card can be criticized.

      3060? Not enough vram and no frame gen

      3070? Not enough vram and no frame gen

      4060? Just a disguised 3060

      4070? Bad value

      4080? Wait for 4080 super.

      4090? Too expensive

      So basically just do nothing and stick to an Intel 4000 graphics card. That'll make them happy.

          [–]Head_Exchange_5329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          The one thing the 3060 has going for it is the amount of VRAM. No one with any understanding of PC hardware would fault the 3060 for "only" having 12 GB of memory, it was rather the opposite when it was released, with more VRAM than it could utilise.

          [–]candre23Too many computers to list 9 points10 points  (6 children)

          3060 is actually a decent value. Solid 1080p gaming, and 12GB is sufficient for entry-level AI tinkering. They're well under $300 new, or you can buy them used on ebay for less than $200 all day long. Frame gen is a gimmick.

          Everything else in nvidia's lineup is far too expensive for what you get. None of the cards are "bad", but they're all terrible value propositions. Except a used 3090. Best value for a higher-end gaming and AI card by far.

                [–]zakabogRyzen 5800X3D/4090/32GB 12 points13 points  (21 children)

                Sort of, but also, no.

                If the only thing you care about is the number next to "FPS", then yeah that number goes up. But in the backend the game is running much slower than that number suggests, so you've got the responsiveness of a game running at a much lower framerate.

                [–]Ok-Wave3287 13 points14 points  (3 children)

                Any game where latency matters makes it unusable

                [–]HammeredWharfPC Master Race 6 points7 points  (0 children)

                Playing with frame gen on and Reflex on is like playing with both of them off. I guess there's different definitions of "unusable", but for me it's fine in slower SP shooters like Alan Wake 2 or Cyberpunk. Kept it off in Returnal.

                      Same, I'm getting a 4060 (a completely new build ofc, wouldn't put a 4060 in my current system lol) soon cuz everything better is double the cost (at least) here in Hungary lmao

                      Yeah,.I got my 4060 last Friday, it more than enough for every game, I play jedi survivor with it with full quality + ray tracing+ dlss (In quality mode, so no difference)

                      The 4060 for 135k ft worth it in my opinion, I upgraded from a 1060 and didn't regret it

                          That's the problem about this sub. Most think you NEED to upgrade from generation to generation, the reality is, most of those who will buy a 4060 aren't coming from a 3060.
                          So who cares about the performance improvement between those two. You buy a xx60 card because you're on a tight budget, likely not upgrading from last year's build but going from a 3-4 gen older card.

                            I remember when someone posted their Alienware R9 here a few years ago there wasn’t a single positive comment, everyone was telling them that it’s e-waste and to ditch it, even though the OP repeatedly said that they loved it. People here can’t seem to let others have different opinions and enjoy things.

                                Yes but a $100 cheaper card would have done exactly the same thing. It's $100 extra for DLSS 3 (which doesn't work in all games) over comparable alternative cards of the same performance.

                                    4060 is not much better than the 3060 in rasterization. Only better in RT performance.

                                    So technically if you didn't use RT, the overall performance is the same?

                                    [–]Tuned_OutLinux 40 points41 points  (2 children)

                                    The 4060 is slightly faster but not always enough to even be noticeable. Its performance can vary from almost exactly the same to 15% faster on average. Pretty pitiful. Granted the 4000 series has some nice AI upgrades along with ray tracing about 20% faster but at this level it's pretty meh. The card isn't terrible but it's price at launch was a pretty solid kick in the teeth to people who are used to continuous upgrades per gen and the X060 line typically being priced friendly for entry level.

                                    In a sense the 4060 is hated because it widens the gap even further between the haves and the have nots when it comes to performance you can get with your money.

                                    Like how much faster than a 3060?

                                    Is the hate because if people want this level of card, they should just go buy a 3060 since it’ll be cheaper in a price to performance ratio?

                                    [–]StaysAwakeAllWeekPC Master Race 25 points26 points  (12 children)

                                    At 4K max it's slower, so all the reviewers and redditors like to claim it's slower. But the truth is neither of these are 4K max cards.

                                    It's about 10% faster at the settings these cards are designed for (1080 max or 1440p medium), or a bit more than that with RT, and it runs with much less power draw.

                                    The main real problem with it is the price, because even though it is an upgrade its a pretty pathetic upgrade to wait 2 years for and not even get a price cut.

                                          It was a slap in the face at release. It's a little faster than the 3060 but the leed is so slim you can actually cherry pick some results from the 3060 that tie or beat it. It's not common but the fact that it can be done is pretty sad. Also the 3060ti from last gen should not be kicking a 4060s ass but it does. The 4060 has some cool marketing fluff with AI that the 3060ti doesn't but depending on title results may vary.

                                          All this for a price increase at launch and peoples' jaws pretty much hit the floor at Nvidia's hubris. Personally I don't believe there are bad cards, just bad prices. So if OP got this on a steal then good for him.

                                          40xx cards are not really an upgrade if you own a 30xx series card, obviously if your going from a 3060 to a 4090 then there's quite a preformance increase but what people mean is that going from a 3060 to a 4060 only gets you <5% extra preformane (and acces to frame generation which is an AI upscaling technique exclusive to 40xx cards)

                                          For the price to preformance standpoint, the 40xx series is a bit disappointing. Unless frame generation is really important to you then you might be served better by buying a better 30xx card with a big vRAM buffer and wating to see how the 50xx tun out.

                                            After the recent price cuts it's a little more swallowable but not much. The hate for the release price and the way Nvidia went about releasing this gen isn't really dumb but the hate for people who bought them definitely is.

                                            The main issue with it, is it's not good value if you already have a 3060. But that is pretty much every 4000 and 7000 series card if you already owned a previous Gen 3000, 6000 card.

                                            It's an ok card if you are coming from 20 series or older.

                                            Yeah that's a huge upgrade, you go from barely being able to run 1080p to crushing it even in newer titles. maybe even a tiny bit of ray tracing.

                                            🤔 I’m running a 1070, paired with a 4790k would this be possible upgrade with that cpu? Or would I just throwing cash at a bottleneck? I know it’s new build time, I just don’t have new build money atm.

                                            You would see around a 20% performance uplift even with the 4060 being bottlenecked by around 15-20%. So basically you lose out on a large chunk of performance on that CPU for the GPU, but it would still provide improvements either way. You could grab a 4060 then work on getting a more modern CPU soon.

                                                  Exactly if he likes the 4060 it’s whatever that’s all that matters. People will hate but it doesn’t affect them at all.

                                                    So... you're justifying basically removing 4GB of VRAM plus paying an extra paying $100 for a software DLC unlock key (that doesn't work on all games) over last gen?

                                                    lmao. This is one worst the worst cards ever. It's like if they priced the 1050ti at $300 and called it the 1060.

                                                    I see people saying $100 difference all the time, but that has no correlation with what i see in the real world whatsoever.

                                                    In Europe the difference between a 3060 and 4060 is ~$15, so barely 5%.

                                                    And when i look at US prices they are near identical with the cheapest 3060s going for $285-$300 and the 4060s going for $310-$320 right now.

                                                    True, in Russia of all places the difference is ~20usd. The cheapest 12gb 3060 is around 380usd meanwhile the cheapest 4060 is around 400usd. You can just pay a little bit more and get stuff like dlss 3, the vram shouldnt even be a problem if you have 1080p setup anyway.

                                                        Dlss and frame gen are good tech, but they shouldn't be almost required features to use the card in certain games. If the GPU was powerful enough you wouldn't NEED these features. Does no one remember the time when if you bought a crappy GPU it actually performed crappily rather than hiding it's lackluster performance behind upscalers?

                                                            A decent card, but nothing like my 3DFX Vodoo2. That thing could run Doom/Duke Nukem buttery smooth. Needed all 8MB.

The 6700xt was the other card we were considering but it was $70 more iirc which kinda killed the deal for me.

I go to California anyway by car so may aswell just do that if I’m already there and get what I want/need. Dropping $4k-5k Canadian for a build is getting silly nowadays.

Were i live the 4080 is 250 euro more and thats the cheapest variant. so if i buy the 7900xtx (also cheapest, so its a direct comparision) and play 4h for 7days a week with the GPU at max power i will need like 10years to get to the electricity cost of 100euro. so in the end i still keep 150euros and that when considering that most people dont use their GPU for 10 straight years or that the GPU doesnt always use full power in games

Also I like it because even though I've had bad luck with gigabyte in the past, this thing is running nice and cool and quiet with ZERO coil whine! I have an old 1080ti in my main PC and it was a gigabyte and it coil whined like crazy and since i bought it from newegg i had to go through hell to get a refund because it was bundled with some BS game. Ended up getting a store credit and got a MSI 1080ti and that has been good. But i like how this has such a nice small form factor and runs cool and quiet and seems to pack a punch in 1080p!

                                                                        Costing nearly double what it should, and being misbranded to trick people into thinking they're getting what they expect from a *60 series card when they're not, makes it terrible value not simply "not great".

                                                                            It's the same shit everywhere to be honest.

                                                                            Oh man you bought a Supra, you're so dumb huuuurrr huuuuur duurr.

I suppose if you're 100% dead set on being on 1080p for the life of the card, it's not a bad option but I'd deal hunt and try to get it cheaper.

                                                                            Best buy has a 16gb 6800(non x) on sale for $389 right now that is a steal. I'm surprised that isn't getting more attention.

                                                                              Yes, the card was barely and upgrade over an 3060 and the price at release was too high. But as of right now, the card is very reasonably priced, beeing 5%-10% more expensive than a 3060.

                                                                              Many will also complain about the VRAM, but 8GB is okay when playing in 1080p and in the worst case you have to lower some settings, which i don't see the huge issue with playing on a low to mid-tier card in the first place.

                                                                              Same with the complained 8GB not beeing future proof. An X060 card is not meant to be played for 7+ years - and not because of the VRAM. A 3060 will not be suddenly still good in 2029, just because of the 12GB RAM.

                                                                              load more comments (41 replies)

It often happens that the "recommended card" or "no-brainer card" just either doesnt exist or doesnt go through price undercut in some market.

I get over 120 fps in Fortnite easy maxed settings with ray tracing off on a 5120x1440p monitor. 90-100 on cyber punk same settings. So yea I think it can handle most of what you throw at it. It’s not a 4090 I still see the need for that card for v ram But for now the 4070 is holding up perfectly. Don’t drink the kool aid lol.

Half assed overpriced performance and specs that didn't even give a lot of their higher 30 series cards that much of a competition in the first place. I finally switched to AMD and haven't looked back since........ Personally they have been the new king of giving out high and reliable performance for insanely better value for a while now and continue to embarrass Nvidia when it comes to the price to performance of their cards 🤷🏿‍♂️

Not nearly as bad as people make out. Every game I have chucked at it has worked flawlessly. Granted it's a 1080p machine but at that res it's perfect. Pair it with a 165hz monitor and you golden.

I did a Opitplex build with a 1650 super about 18 months ago. I upgraded to a 4060 basically for Starfield and it has dramatically improved my experience; I couldn't get a 7600 because the power supply cannot handle it. I'm saving up for something better in the next year or two but this will suffice for now.
