Question Is 'oc' in msi ventus box just a marketing trick?

[Classy666]

I just bought this gpu https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-4060-Ti-VENTUS-2X-BLACK-8G-OC

And Im wondering if it performs better than a founders edition 4060ti, does the 'oc' in the box mean that it's already overclocked by msi, and how much more fps would i get if this is not just a marketing trick.

The performance will depend on how much the GPU has been factory overclocked. In most cases the difference isn't huge when compared to any reference/FE card clock speeds.

It's not a marketing trick per se, but just a means of selling a slightly overclocked GPU out of the box, to minimze any manual overclocking done by the user.

It's factory oc,

Very informative thank you

No worries. You are welcome.

A lot of board partners these days give a lot of marketing emphasis on overclocked GPUs.

I assume OC cards have same warranty as regular non-OC models?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Specs

NVIDIA AD106, 2535 MHz, 4352 Cores, 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 8192 MB GDDR6, 2250 MHz, 128 bit

MSI RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 2X BLACK OC Board power limit: 160w

2310 MHz

2565 MHz

2250 MHz

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition Board power limit: 175w

2310 MHz

2535 MHz

2250 MHz

30mhz more ADVERTISED boost clock, which doesn't matter, due to how the dynamic boost works, they'll both clock way higher than that anyway. One could manually input that 30mhz on the FE.

Fortunately, others have also submitted vbios(Gpu-Z) for those 2 cards - 15w difference in board power limits.
Though 15w isn't much at all, it still means the FE could boost for slightly longer, and there's some room to tinker with, if desired.

The FE cooler design works better, airflow-wise, with more cases. It exhausts out the rear and the top.
The Ventus exhausts towards the rear and the FRONT, which doesn't flow well with front case intakes.

Thank you veey informative especialy when u explained airflow difrence between cards
