Review 

The GeForce RTX 4060 is firmly a new-generation GPU,

based on the latest Ada Lovelace graphics architecture. It offers two distinct advantages over buying previous-generation graphics cards in this price range. Firstly, it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation, a revolutionary new feature that lets you nearly double the frame rate of supported games, by generating entire alternate frames entirely using AI. Secondly, since the RTX 4060 is based on the latest 5 nm foundry process, it offers the lowest power draw in its class, with typical gaming power rated at no more than 115 W.

The RTX 4060 debuts the new 5 nm AD107 silicon to the desktop space, which it maxes out, by enabling all 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM) physically present. This works out to 3,072 CUDA cores, 96 Tensor cores, 24 RT cores, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The memory sub-system is very similar to that of the RTX 4060 Ti, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus. What’s different is that the memory is a touch slower at 17 Gbps compared to 18 Gbps; and the on-die L2 cache is smaller, at 24 MB compared to 32 MB. Generationally, the memory size and bus width are reduced by 50% compared to the original RTX 3060, but NVIDIA says that its move to enlarge on-die caches by 8 times, greatly reduces the GPU’s video memory access, which should allow it to use narrower memory interfaces.

The Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC uses a slightly larger version of the company’s WindForce 3X cooling solution which sees a compound aluminium fin-stack heatsink skewered by a pair of copper heatpipes that make direct contact with the GPU at the base; which are then ventilated by a trio of fans. The graphics card is longer than the PCB underneath, so much of the airflow from the third fan flows through the heatsink, and out of a large cutout in the backplate. The Gaming OC, as its name suggests, offers a factory overclock, with a 2550 MHz boost clock that’s 90 MHz faster than reference. The memory is untouched at 17 Gbps. Gigabyte is asking $320 for this card, with its main attraction being the larger cooling solution.
