Ever since the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti went on sale, bad news has continued. First, a store in Japan only sold one unit on the first day of sale. Then, the reviews in major media and YouTube channels were not particularly good. Earlier, a well-known hardware YouTube channel released an RTX 4060 Ti vs. RTX 3060 Ti actual test 40 In the video comparing two games, not only is the difference not big, but the performance in several games such as “Doom: Eternal” is worse than that of the RTX 3060 Ti, so it is really not surprising that this one does not sell well.
It’s no surprise that the RTX 4060 Ti sells poorly! A well-known foreign YouTuber actually tested the performance of many games such as “Doom: Eternal” and found it to be lower than the RTX 3060 Ti.
Earlier, Hardware Unboxed, a well-known foreign hardware YouTube channel, uploaded a video “Why The RTX 4060 Ti Sucks, Really Bad!”. The 15-minute video discusses why the RTX 4060 Ti is so bad, and it is supported by measured data from as many as 40 games.
Hardware Unboxed believes that the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB version has a recommended price of $399, but the memory bandwidth is only 128 bits, and the display memory is only 8GB (16GB is not yet available for sale). Both are very poor. At the current price, he thinks it is a “defective product”. You can now buy the competitor AMD Radeon RX 6700XT for $330, saving money. At 20% of the price, the previous generation RTX 3060 Ti now only costs about $350.
For players who want to buy a graphics card under $400, if they are targeting 1440p games, they feel that the RX 6700 XT and RTX 3060 Ti have higher CP values.
In the 40 game tests, although most of the RTX 4060 Ti are ahead of the RTX 3060 Ti, the lead is not very large. Even in “Cyperbunk 2077”, the most representative of light chasing, after enabling it, the RTX 4060 Ti only leads by about 10% at 1080p, and a little more at 1440p, up to 20%. This should be the biggest gap among all games:
After changing to high image quality settings, the gap is much smaller. 1080p is only ahead by 8%, and 1440p is even narrower to 3%, which is almost imperceptible:
There are three negative cases. The first is the game “Control”. In 1080p quality, the RTX 4060 Ti is 4% slower than the previous generation, and 1440p is 6% slower. This is not the worst:
In “Doom: Eternal”, the RTX 4060 Ti is 6% slower than the 3060 Ti in 1080p. In 1440p, it is even more exaggerated, and it is actually 21% slower:
In “Evil Castle 4”, regardless of the highest image quality or high image quality settings, the RTX 4060 Ti is slower than the previous generation:
Hardware Unboxed said that this is caused by the 128-bit memory bandwidth, resulting in such poor performance. It would only be worth buying if the price dropped below $300.
The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is expected to go on sale on July 18. Although the display memory has become larger, the memory bandwidth remains at 128 bits, and the price has reached US$499. It seems that there is a high probability that it will not sell well. Therefore, players who are interested in RTX 4060 Ti may consider looking at other products before the price drops significantly.
