Question Should I upgrade from GTX 1080 to RTX 4060 ?

[knowledge2121]

My spec:

• i5-13600K
• 32GB DDR5
• GTX 1080
• 1440p monitor

I never put my GTX 1080 under stress. I have been playing Team fortress 2 and csgo since like 7 years ago and nothing else.

I have another more powerful build. This is my office build and I mainly want to play 2022 games and below at 1440p.

Now I have compared benchmarks and I know that both GPUs perform similarly kind of, But I am interested in RTX 4060's integer scaling and other new features like DLSS and etc ..

Do you think it is a good idea to upgrade to RTX 4060 ? Should I wait for RTX 5060 ? will the price be the same ?

Hey there,

Eh, the short answer is yes! Absolutely. The GTX1080 is miles behind a 4060. The 4060 is about 25-50% faster in pure raster gaming (game dependant)

This vid is of a 1080ti v a 46060:

. So we're extrapolating down. It's huge bump in FPS.

You have a damn fine system, so matching it with a superior GPU, only makes sense to me.

If I were you, I would 100% get it, if that was something you planned. You will be delighted with the uplift.

Also, you're getting the latest tech DLSS 3 etc. Buy the 4060 and don't look back

Let us know how it goes.

Or maybe buy the RTX 3070 as it performs better than the 4060?

The RTX5060 won't be out until next year. Prob Q1 but maybe Q2.

Yes, depending on price that could be an option. Here's a vid showing the better performance of the 3070:

- it's at or about 20% faster than the 4060.

I wouldn't buy a 3070 second hand though.

Also, the 4060 has DLSS 3 and Frame Gen in it's armoury. It's a close call either way.

True. I agree with that
