1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:09,840
wow NVIDIA you know in a way I'm actually

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,120
impressed your sheer lack of concern for

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,199
any of your mainstream customers it's kind of an achievement like you're in a

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,760
race with wizard of the coast to see who can tick off their fan base the fastest

5
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:24,080
and you're out to prove you'll do anything to win I mean NVIDIA's

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,599
practically admitted they'd rather rely on software tricks than give us faster

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,280
hardware and the 40 series is not just overpriced it's more like hate priced

8
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:36,440
and the thing is guys we know that getting outraged is not going to do

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,280
anything and you know it's not going to do anything the 4060 TI was panned by

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:47,079
critics and the community alike and still cost $400 somehow but if you want

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:52,199
us to get mad then okay let's get mad because the RTX 4060 is yet another nail

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,719
in the world's most overpriced coffin and we're tired of it and we're also

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:01,280
tired of not telling you about our sponsor super micro the newest additions

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:07,000
to Super micro's h13 servers are here powered by AMD's epic 904 processors

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,960
with up to 128 cores an amount of cores that we're not sure is legal get blazing

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,240
fast performance that handles even the most memory intensive workloads click

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,320
the link below and upgrade your infrastructure today like hit bigger

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:24,720
titanium your brother the 4060 is built on NVIDIA's 8106 GPU and has 8 gigs of

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,920
gddr6 memory so what are we losing when we downgrade to a feebler metal well for

20
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:34,920
starters 29% of our Cuda cores for the the main course 33% fewer rate tracing

21
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:40,159
intenser course and for dessert a sweet $100 price cut that makes it am I

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,920
reading this correctly less expensive than the last gen card it replaces but

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,920
it's not all roses those core counts aren't just lower than the 4060 TI

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:55,079
they're lower than the last gen 3060 also lower than last gen is the memory

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,719
bus width still at a piddly 128 bits oh

26
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:00,560
and don't forget they half the number of PCIe lanes which could cause a

27
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,799
bottleneck for those still on PCI gen 3 platforms but look sayth NVIDIA the

28
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,239
clock speeds are up and there was a big bump to L2 cach to make up for the dire

29
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,239
lack of memory bandwidth spoiler alert it doesn't to prove it we put the 4060

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:19,360
and its competition through a brutal series of tests 1,00 total tests that's

31
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:23,120
right the Labs is in full swing baby we've included a bunch of cards that are

32
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,920
still topping the steam Hardware charts the best of amds bang for the buck

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,560
lineup and an Intel Arc a750 for good

34
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:33,840
measure and as you probably already figured out from the specs this is not a

35
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:39,200
4K card so let's get these results out of the way quick the 4060 only touched

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:45,040
60 average FPS in F1 and was anywhere from me to barely playable in our other

37
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
titles you could have a decent experience in older games or with

38
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,680
settings dialed back to medium or low but if you want to play on high you'll

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,440
have to resort to techniques some consider to be

40
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,680
unnatural sticking with Pure rasterization Performance for now though

41
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,280
let's talk 1080p NVIDIA made it very

42
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:12,319
clear with the 4060 TI that they were not trying to make a card that is

43
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:18,319
significantly more capable than its predecessor and with the 4060 NVIDIA has

44
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:24,480
extended their not trying streak in cyberpunk 2077 the 4060 fails to outpace

45
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,440
the 3060 TI which is like the one card

46
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,120
you'd hope that this thing at least ties with right to add insult to injury it

47
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:36,720
even falls behind the now 30 to $50 cheaper RX 7600 from team red then we

48
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,640
see the same story in f122 where the 460 sits just 10% ahead of its last gen

49
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:47,959
direct counterpart the 3060 the real star of the show then again is the last

50
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,239
gen 6700 XT which cranks out 42% more

51
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:55,720
frames than the 4060 and at the time of writing can be purchased for just $10

52
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,519
more in The Last of Us Part One the 4060

53
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:03,040
at least beats its direct team red competitor RX 6700 but but again fails

54
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,519
to overcome the 360 GTI and the more tests we ran the more true our

55
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,519
observations became this thing is so bad that if I didn't know any better I'd say

56
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,360
NVIDIA didn't even bother to Benchmark to price this thing accordingly to peek

57
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,840
at Vulcan performance we included Red Dead Redemption 2 where the story mostly

58
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,320
stays the same but the ark a750 shows up with some impressive performance then in

59
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,280
Forza the 4060 finally eats its way ahead of the 36 DTI yay I guess and

60
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,880
returnal just confirms what we already know again overall the 4060 offers very little in

61
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,479
performance over its direct team red competitor and it does so at a 20%

62
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:45,000
premium in price I hope the story changes when we look at 1440p nope we

63
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:50,160
actually see the gap between the 3060 TI and the 4060 increase in several games

64
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:55,960
and the gap between team red and NVIDIA gets no wider and just like we saw in

65
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,919
our review of the 4060 TI the 67 XT is

66
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Far and Away the most sensible option for gamers looking for Max Bank for the

67
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:09,120
buck thanks in no small part to its 12 GB of vram to be clear 8 GB is fine for

68
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,639
most things today but that's unlikely to stay true forever unlike the pricing on

69
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,840
water bottles at LTT Store.com they're the same price no matter what size you

70
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,600
like and mystery bottles are 10 bucks off if you don't care about the color

71
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:25,440
but wait maybe there's a justification for all of this a master plan I mean

72
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:31,960
we're 5 years into NVIDIA's Graphics reinvented R Trace future can a cheaper

73
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,319
60 series card give mainstream Gamers a

74
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:40,080
taste of that technology as it turns out cutting so many RT cores negates any

75
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:42,880
generational gain over the 3060 TI even

76
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,960
if there is an improvement over the 3060 at least it still beats any of the AMD

77
00:05:44,919 --> 00:05:51,199
cards in its price bracket but the frame rate hit from turning on Ray tracing

78
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,600
even at 1080p just might not be worth the bump and visual Fidelity for many

79
00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:00,840
gamers of course NVIDIA does also have

80
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,840
dlss and frame Jen

81
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:10,880
and we do have to give credit where it's due here when set to the Quality preset

82
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,759
in most games dlss NVIDIA's AI upscaling

83
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,800
technique is near indistinguishable from standard rendering if you know where to

84
00:06:15,599 --> 00:06:21,400
look you can find Visual anomalies but it's gotten good enough over the last

85
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,919
few years that you pretty much need to be looking for them and the performance

86
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:31,199
gains are very substantial this is where NVIDIA wants to steer the discussion and

87
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,680
for good reason using d s s at 1440p we

88
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:36,479
are seeing excellent gains in performance with the 4060 finally

89
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:41,280
convincingly pulling ahead of last generation thanks to one of dlss latest

90
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,039
tricks frame gen frame gen Smooths animations by creating new frames in

91
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,240
between the natively rendered ones though it should be noted that frame

92
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,880
generation comes with downsides like higher latency and also just not being

93
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,000
magic for example with frame gen 4K gaming is possible on these cards but we

94
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,360
know from our test that if you have less than 30 native FPS it's really not the

95
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:05,240
best playing experience you can go see our experiments in the video Linked In

96
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:09,080
the description with that said in older games or at lower settings I could see

97
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,599
Gamers using NVIDIA's machine learning AI Tom Foolery to run this thing at 4K

98
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:18,560
the problem is it's limited to like a couple dozen games so moving on to

99
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,479
productivity a traditional strong point for NVIDIA blender sees the 4060 look

100
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,599
fairly capable for a mainstream card and the same goes for spec view perf where

101
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,440
it's clear that the 128bit memory bus is a real problem though it's worth noting

102
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:34,879
this Benchmark is getting a little long in the tooth we are also working on

103
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:39,080
getting some results from Da Vinci resolve but at the time of review driver

104
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:45,080
issues stood in our way speaking of issues what about the issue of expensive

105
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:50,560
power whether gaming or running full Bor applications like the rest of the 40

106
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:52,599
series The 4060 sips power f-122 brings

107
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,879
it all the way up to its rated power but that's Just5 Watts a significant drop

108
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,840
from its Thai clad brother and even less than AMD's 7600

109
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,720
in fact it's less than a 3050 if the price of power is a concern where you

110
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:10,960
live then the 4060 actually could offer a decent value this is probably where

111
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,520
the card shines its brightest and thanks to sipping power The Thermals on these

112
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:19,560
ASUS dual cards we got for testing are also great with temps never exceeding

113
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:24,599
73° on the Hotpot which was kind of a lot of words to say NVIDIA doesn't care

114
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:28,479
about you when they can't book enough Fab capacity to serve the far more

115
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:33,560
lucrative AI customers that rocketed their valuation Beyond a trillion

116
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,039
dollars earlier this month but we gave

117
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:40,640
this wet fart of a GPU a full review treatment anyway in hopes that sometime

118
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:45,880
in the future it'll come down in price and make sense to buy that's that's just

119
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:50,600
the best we can do which we know is kind of lame we said we were going to get mad

120
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:55,040
today but we're just out of gas at this point and I feel like a lot of you must

121
00:08:52,839 --> 00:08:59,000
be in the same boat I mean at a certain point NVIDIA is going to drive their

122
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:03,360
customers past anger all the way to apathy and if there's one piece of

123
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:08,160
advice that we can give NVIDIA just don't let that happen no at least if

124
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:12,079
someone's angry at me I still know they care they're invested in the

125
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:17,640
relationship they're holding on hoping it's going to get better if they stop

126
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:20,160
giving a crap that's when I'll know that

127
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:24,600
