Question Anything I can do to improve performance on my RTX 4060 Ti?

[Crazyy8]

I bought the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB last October for around $450, and It works fine. It does RTX decently enough and it definitly performs better than my old GTX 1080, but I feel that I can get more performance out of it(I hope). Any Nvidia control panel settings, windows settings, etc that can help performance? I can overclock it, but I don't know the specifics for this card. My specific model of RTX 4060 Ti is the Zotac RTX 4060 Ti 16GB AMP.

FPS is dependent on CPU also. Your CPU could be your limiting factor. Quite possible if it is from the GTX1080 time period.

what games do you play btw? what graphical settings? i would not recomend to overclock it, as its a fairly new gpu, after a while tho that would be a good option.

There's an app called MSI Afterburner that can be used to tune the card and apply an "OC" to it (it's really more like undervolting). But most video cards these days clock themselves as fast as they possibly can before hitting a wall, be it a voltage wall (RTX 40 series have a firmware imposed limit of 1.1V), power limit, or thermals.

And even then, the amount of performance you gain is minimal in practice. While it sounds nice that the best I got my video card to overclock to on Time Spy was 24293 on the graphics score vs its baseline of 23160, this is only a 5% improvement. That doesn't really translate to a practical improvement in performance.

Yeah, you'd have to post your system specs and then say what kind of FPS you're getting as opposed to what FPS you want.

Keep in mind that you have one of the most overpriced GPUs on the market and there's a very good chance that the performance available won't be anywhere close to worth what you paid. I just want you to keep your hopes realistic.

Yeah, should have posted full specs.
CPU: 7800X3D
RAM: 32GB of DDR5 6000
GPU: RTX 4060 Ti 16gb
No overheating or anything.
I want 60 FPS or more on Cyberpunk 2077 max settings with pathtracing RTX with DLSS 3.0 quality setting. I'm getting 50-45 FPS with said settings, having to move to performance DLSS.

60 FPS on cb is kind of hard to get, but it might be a driver problem.

I think it's the maxxed settings and DLSS. The 4060 Ti 16Gb is almost good enough for that.
Most would agree that sub-4070 RTXs are not good enough for RTX. Your experience is in line with that.
You didn't mention the resolution, but i'm guessing 1080p?

I don't think you can extract more from your GPU. You'll have to sacrifice quality to get fps.

One thing worth trying is to reduce quality of things you don't notice so much. I had my fair share of weak PCs and my go to was alwasy shadow quality. They take a considerable amount of processing power, but they're something i can mostly live without. If you can accept less than Ultra shadows, try that and see if it frees up enough GPU power to get higher fps.

There are other quality settings that only offer superficial visual improvement but cost a ton of GPU resources to maintain.
