News Nvidia Shares GeForce RTX 4060 Performance Numbers

[Admin]

Nvidia's own benchmark results suggest that GeForce RTX 4060 is faster than GeForce RTX 3060 even without frame generation.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card is based on the AD106 GPU with 3072 CUDA cores enabled that has peak FP32 compute throughput of 15 TFLOPS, which is just 15% higher compared to GeForce RTX 3060 with its 13 FP32 TFLOPS. But the AD106 has noticeable advantages over GA106 in the form of massively improved ray tracing performance (+40%) and Tensor compute throughput (+137%). The latter can be used for AI, advanced DLSS 3 upscaling, and AI image generation workloads.

No, the RTX 4060 will utilize the AD107-400-A1 GPU, the fully enabled AD107 Ada die. The same configuration is used by the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. Not 106.

I will say this again.

No point in counting DLSS 3 performance boost here, only pure raw rasterized performance if we really want to compare the 4060 with previous gen cards which lack proper support for DLSS3. It is moot.

Nvidia claims the card offers a 20% improvement over the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB in traditional rasterization and bigger gains when RT and DLSS are factored in.

So, based on Nvidia's specs/claims, since we are getting up to a 70% increase (with DLSS 3) and a 20% increase (without DLSS) over the RTX 3060, that says that DLSS 3 is bad or unfair metric for comparison. A lot of disparity here.

DLSS numbers between generations are completely useless.
Nvidia is obscuring the real performance of these cards. That's a bad sign.

$300 for a GPU that is already outdated with its pitiful 8GB VRAM seems like an awful deal.

I just can't stand this treadmill race of increasing hardware prices anymore. The idea of buying an 8GB GPU for $300 just to have to buy a 16GB one in a year to keep up with the latest games seems awful.

The price of PC hardware has made me reject $60 AAA games and embrace $10-$30 games instead.

Playing less graphical intense games is
-cheaper
-they take up less space on my SSD
-they are faster to boot up and generally have less performance issues
-they don't include microtransactions like "AAA" games

I want to see some real benchmarks @JarredWaltonGPU make this 4060 suffer!

 

[Elusive Ruse]

DLSS3 numbers are invalid as long as the overwhelming majority of games don't support it and it comes with a huge input lag penalty. At this point I'm more excited about Intel's next generation of GPUs than anything Nvidia has to offer. There I said it 🤣

 

[bdcrlsn]

Nvidia relying so heavily on DLSS and AI is concerning, because whose to say that each generation following increasingly relies on upscaling technologies at the expense of traditional rasterization rendering.

So you sell the PC... buy an XBox Series X or PS5 and call it a day.

When it comes to cutting edge PC gaming... you have to pay the premium. A cutting edge GPU should be expensive...

If that's how you wanna justify it... can't really agree about the taking up less space and being faster to boot... but if something loading 1 second faster makes you sleep better... hey... that's cool.

As for microtransactions... you don't have to click the buy button. I don't.

 

[Alvar "Miles" Udell]

Sus results (as all first party numbers are). The Witcher 3 with AI frame generation performing at 60fps, when the 4060 Ti without DLSS (and RT) performs at 180fps? That's a pretty pathetic result for a $300 GPU.

 

[hotaru251]

The company admits that far not all games support AI frame generation and this is where its GeForce RTX 4060 is only 20% faster than its predecessor. A 20% improvement is still not bad, only it is just not something one would expect from a new generation product based on the all-new architecture.

they also ignore fact its ram limited compared to the last gen meaning anythign that uses that ram is also better.

frame gen is basically raytracing early days....less than 1% of stuff support it.

so in 99% of workloads its gonna be maybe 20% better...oh but if the application wants more than 8gb ram also betetr for last gen...


can already see GN's "biggest fail" award going to this or the ti version.

not if there are no games on it that a person wants to play, then that xbox and ps5 becomes an over priced paperweight... not to mention, the price of the xbox, just went up. so i dont think buying a console, is a viable option any more due to cost when a person could have a usable comp already, and just needs an upgrade

DLSS was supposedly for gamers to get that extra bit of performance... now you have poorly optimized games using it as as crutch... as if to say "oh it's OK that this sucks because DLSS will pick up the slack."

The day I can't game in native resolution will be the day I quit PC gaming. I have never once enabled DLSS and never will.

Miners trashed the market to where it is now. I remember the $699 1080 Ti. I doubt we'd be seeing $699 4090's in today's world but they probably wouldn't be $1600+.

Thank the miners... they had their cake and now they can eat it.

Gotta love the infographic showing the widely inflated price of energy in Europe now that we shot ourselves in both feet over Ukraine. GG Nvidia.

This and the 4060ti *might* have been viable with 12gb VRAM. In MSFS I get 60fps+ with High/Ultra settings at 1440p DLSS Balanced on a 3060 12gb. With a 4060/4060ti I might be able to do that native, excepting the part where even with DLSS I can punch through 11gb VRAM...

Edge case I know, but I'm sure there's more like this. These cards' rendering ability exceeds what the VRAM and memory bus can support, even if that rendering ability is already meh.

 

[nitrium]

I suspect the RTX 4060Ti 16GB will be the best "mid-range" card to get, assuming you can grab one on special (I don't think pricing has been announced for it yet?). The RTX 4060 8GB seems like a bad deal overall. Barely worth getting when coming with previous generation *060 cards.

Pretty sure Steve could toss this entire Gen on that list. Maybe the 4090 gets some points for professional non gaming use but the rest is hot garbage.

 

[Deleted member 2838871]

The miners were the root cause of Nvidia and other corporations taking advantage of the situation because all they care about is profits... not us gamers. Supply and demand.

Covid didn't help either with the supply and demand. It's the new world we live in... these prices. Get used to it.

4090 is the only 4000 series card worth the purchase. With no other card do you get a 60% performance increase over previous gen for only a 6% ($100) markup.

So many call it overpriced... I call it an amazing deal.

I keep forgetting about the 16gb Ti version. Street pricing will dictate much for that one, and that 128 bit bus...oof...maybe idk.

Agreed, makes you wonder wtf happened with the rest of the lineup.

 

[hotaru251]

this entire Gen on that list

yes but the 70/80/90 are actually improvements of a new generation...the 60's are on 50 tier hardware wearing the 60 tier name.

you actually lose performance over lat gen with 60 series due to the bus speed limitation in anything that doesnt use dlss 3.0/frame gen.

 

[nitrium]

Wait, I just reading that even the RTX 2060 6GB from 4.5 years ago had a 192bit memory bus!? Lol.

 

[lmcnabney]

I still don't know why anyone turns DLSS on. Gaining 30% more frames in exchange for artifacts and a hefty increase of input lag / latency is NOT a good trade.

keep in mind, seem nvidia seems to have moved every tier up a level, and charges for that tier. the only card that seems to be named correctly, is the 4090, the rest take the x in the 40x0 name, and drop it down one level.

these prices. Get used to it.

nope, hence why i am still running a 1060. as i said before, all cards are at least 1000 at the top end, to 500 at the lower end too high, radeon or geforce. but people keep buying them, so the prices wont change.
