Results

On average, the RTX 4060 Ti will be providing about 26% of performance increment over the RTX 4060. The gap is more apparent in Time Spy benchmark suite that was built from the ground up to support DirectX 12 and API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading.

Black Myth: Wukong is our latest addition to our gaming benchmark suite. This game is a major milestone in the triple A game scene. The RTX 4060 Ti outperforms the RTX 4060 by 22% from the average frame rates. Even at the highest graphical settings, with NVIDIA DLSS and Frame Generation technology, the RTX 4060 Ti is capable of providing average 63 fps and minimum 56 fps gaming experience.

Switching our focus to the Cyberpunk 2077, clearly we are torturing the cards with the highest graphical settings – Ray Tracing OVERDRIVE. For obvious reasons, you don’t need this setting to fully experience the night city, however, it gives us a rough idea how the card perform on 1440p and you could always fine tune the settings to suit your preferences. What really surprises me is the pure raster performance on the RTX 4060 Ti which is leaps and bounds ahead of the RTX 4060.

Performance and Gaming Experience

In short, the RTX 4060 Ti offers a noticeable performance boost over the RTX 4060, especially when playing demanding games at higher resolutions like 1440p. If you prioritize high frame rates and want to enjoy the latest titles at maximum settings, the 4060 Ti is the way to go. However, the RTX 4060 is still a decent GPU that can handle most modern games at 1080p and even 1440p with lowered settings.

Price and Value

Conclusion

The choice between the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 ultimately depends on your specific gaming needs and budget. If you prioritize high frame rates, demanding games, and cutting-edge features like ray tracing and DLSS, the RTX 4060 Ti is a great option. The 4060 Ti offers a significant performance uplift that might be worth the investment for demanding gamers.

However, if you’re on a budget, the 4060 can still provide good performance at a lower cost. Given that if you’re planning to stick with 1080p resolution until your next upgrade.

Consider these factors when making your decision:

• Gaming resolution: If you primarily play at 1080p, the RTX 4060 is a good option. For 1440p or higher resolutions, the RTX 4060 Ti is recommended.
• Performance headroom: If you want a GPU that can handle future games at higher settings, the RTX 4060 Ti might be a better investment.

By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the RTX GPU that best suits your gaming needs and budget.
