I dunno why people keep hating on the RTX 4060 series. Sure, they’re expensive af (the 16GB Ti is like buying a Series X, basically, even though it’s the ‘budget’ enthusiast model). And, yeah, the 128-bit bus is tighter on paper, and yeah, putting 8GB of VRAM in the base model was a goof move (just get the 16GB one you’ll thank yourself in a couple years).
But I was testing No Man’s Sky on ultra at 4k60 with a bunch of other shit going on systemwide and this was the load. Smooth as butter, case quiet as can be (the disk was busy with something else, ignore that lol). Video encode performance is really nice as well, so far, at least at 1080 60fps with almost lossless quality settings.
It’s not the fastest card on the market right now, but wtf more do people need? I suppose if you wanted 120fps it wouldn’t do for any newer titles, but who cares? I always try to get into the budget tier enthusiast bracket, somewhere between an X060 Ti and an X070, but the 70s are too damned expensive nowadays. Haven’t had one of those since WoW Burning Crusade, lol. I try to buy ones that will last, usefully, for at least a few years, cause I’m poor.
Anyway, I need to test the new one with Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 🙂
