00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:09.840
wow NVIDIA you know in a way I'm actually

00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:12.120
impressed your sheer lack of concern for

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:16.199
any of your mainstream customers it's kind of an achievement like you're in a

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

00:00:18.279 --> 00:00:24.080
and you're out to prove you'll do anything to win I mean NVIDIA's

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.599
practically admitted they'd rather rely on software tricks than give us faster

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.280
hardware and the 40 series is not just overpriced it's more like hate priced

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:36.440
and the thing is guys we know that getting outraged is not going to do

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

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:47.079
critics and the community alike and still cost $400 somehow but if you want

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

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

00:00:54.120 --> 00:01:01.280
tired of not telling you about our sponsor super micro the newest additions

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:07.000
to Super micro's h13 servers are here powered by AMD's epic 904 processors

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

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.240
fast performance that handles even the most memory intensive workloads click

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.320
the link below and upgrade your infrastructure today like hit bigger

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

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:29.920
gddr6 memory so what are we losing when we downgrade to a feebler metal well for

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:34.920
starters 29% of our Cuda cores for the the main course 33% fewer rate tracing

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.159
intenser course and for dessert a sweet $100 price cut that makes it am I

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.920
reading this correctly less expensive than the last gen card it replaces but

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.920
it's not all roses those core counts aren't just lower than the 4060 TI

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:55.079
they're lower than the last gen 3060 also lower than last gen is the memory

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:56.719
bus width still at a piddly 128 bits oh

00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.560
and don't forget they half the number of PCIe lanes which could cause a

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:04.799
bottleneck for those still on PCI gen 3 platforms but look sayth NVIDIA the

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

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.239
lack of memory bandwidth spoiler alert it doesn't to prove it we put the 4060

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:19.360
and its competition through a brutal series of tests 1,00 total tests that's

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

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.920
still topping the steam Hardware charts the best of amds bang for the buck

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.560
lineup and an Intel Arc a750 for good

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:33.840
measure and as you probably already figured out from the specs this is not a

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

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:45.040
60 average FPS in F1 and was anywhere from me to barely playable in our other

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.000
titles you could have a decent experience in older games or with

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

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.440
have to resort to techniques some consider to be

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:05.680
unnatural sticking with Pure rasterization Performance for now though

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:08.280
let's talk 1080p NVIDIA made it very

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:12.319
clear with the 4060 TI that they were not trying to make a card that is

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:18.319
significantly more capable than its predecessor and with the 4060 NVIDIA has

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:24.480
extended their not trying streak in cyberpunk 2077 the 4060 fails to outpace

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:26.440
the 3060 TI which is like the one card

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

00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:36.720
even falls behind the now 30 to $50 cheaper RX 7600 from team red then we

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

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:47.959
direct counterpart the 3060 the real star of the show then again is the last

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:50.239
gen 6700 XT which cranks out 42% more

00:03:47.959 --> 00:03:55.720
frames than the 4060 and at the time of writing can be purchased for just $10

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:57.519
more in The Last of Us Part One the 4060

00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:03.040
at least beats its direct team red competitor RX 6700 but but again fails

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:07.519
to overcome the 360 GTI and the more tests we ran the more true our

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

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.360
NVIDIA didn't even bother to Benchmark to price this thing accordingly to peek

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:19.840
at Vulcan performance we included Red Dead Redemption 2 where the story mostly

00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:24.320
stays the same but the ark a750 shows up with some impressive performance then in

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:29.280
Forza the 4060 finally eats its way ahead of the 36 DTI yay I guess and

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:34.880
returnal just confirms what we already know again overall the 4060 offers very little in

00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.479
performance over its direct team red competitor and it does so at a 20%

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:45.000
premium in price I hope the story changes when we look at 1440p nope we

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:50.160
actually see the gap between the 3060 TI and the 4060 increase in several games

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

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.919
our review of the 4060 TI the 67 XT is

00:04:55.960 --> 00:05:02.520
Far and Away the most sensible option for gamers looking for Max Bank for the

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

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.639
most things today but that's unlikely to stay true forever unlike the pricing on

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.840
water bottles at LTT Store.com they're the same price no matter what size you

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.600
like and mystery bottles are 10 bucks off if you don't care about the color

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:25.440
but wait maybe there's a justification for all of this a master plan I mean

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:31.960
we're 5 years into NVIDIA's Graphics reinvented R Trace future can a cheaper

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:34.319
60 series card give mainstream Gamers a

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:40.080
taste of that technology as it turns out cutting so many RT cores negates any

00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.880
generational gain over the 3060 TI even

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

00:05:44.919 --> 00:05:51.199
cards in its price bracket but the frame rate hit from turning on Ray tracing

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.600
even at 1080p just might not be worth the bump and visual Fidelity for many

00:05:53.560 --> 00:06:00.840
gamers of course NVIDIA does also have

00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.840
dlss and frame Jen

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

00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:13.759
in most games dlss NVIDIA's AI upscaling

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:17.800
technique is near indistinguishable from standard rendering if you know where to

00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:21.400
look you can find Visual anomalies but it's gotten good enough over the last

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:25.919
few years that you pretty much need to be looking for them and the performance

00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:31.199
gains are very substantial this is where NVIDIA wants to steer the discussion and

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:32.680
for good reason using d s s at 1440p we

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.479
are seeing excellent gains in performance with the 4060 finally

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:41.280
convincingly pulling ahead of last generation thanks to one of dlss latest

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:45.039
tricks frame gen frame gen Smooths animations by creating new frames in

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.240
between the natively rendered ones though it should be noted that frame

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:52.880
generation comes with downsides like higher latency and also just not being

00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:57.000
magic for example with frame gen 4K gaming is possible on these cards but we

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

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.240
best playing experience you can go see our experiments in the video Linked In

00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:09.080
the description with that said in older games or at lower settings I could see

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:13.599
Gamers using NVIDIA's machine learning AI Tom Foolery to run this thing at 4K

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:18.560
the problem is it's limited to like a couple dozen games so moving on to

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:23.479
productivity a traditional strong point for NVIDIA blender sees the 4060 look

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.599
fairly capable for a mainstream card and the same goes for spec view perf where

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

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.879
this Benchmark is getting a little long in the tooth we are also working on

00:07:33.599 --> 00:07:39.080
getting some results from Da Vinci resolve but at the time of review driver

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:45.080
issues stood in our way speaking of issues what about the issue of expensive

00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:50.560
power whether gaming or running full Bor applications like the rest of the 40

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:52.599
series The 4060 sips power f-122 brings

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

00:07:55.400 --> 00:08:02.840
from its Thai clad brother and even less than AMD's 7600

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

00:08:04.479 --> 00:08:10.960
live then the 4060 actually could offer a decent value this is probably where

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:14.520
the card shines its brightest and thanks to sipping power The Thermals on these

00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:19.560
ASUS dual cards we got for testing are also great with temps never exceeding

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

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.479
about you when they can't book enough Fab capacity to serve the far more

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:33.560
lucrative AI customers that rocketed their valuation Beyond a trillion

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:36.039
dollars earlier this month but we gave

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:40.640
this wet fart of a GPU a full review treatment anyway in hopes that sometime

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

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

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

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

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:03.360
customers past anger all the way to apathy and if there's one piece of

00:09:00.680 --> 00:09:08.160
advice that we can give NVIDIA just don't let that happen no at least if

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:12.079
someone's angry at me I still know they care they're invested in the

00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:17.640
relationship they're holding on hoping it's going to get better if they stop

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:20.160
giving a crap that's when I'll know that

00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:24.600
