What Owners Say

Fans love the big performance jump from older cards like the GTX 1060, but many grumble the 8 GB VRAM feels tight for modern games at higher settings.

Pros
  • Plays modern games at high settings
  • Runs cool without loud fan noise
  • Supports ray tracing and DLSS
  • Fits easily into smaller PC cases
Cons
  • VRAM is too low for modern games
  • Price per frame is disappointing
  • Not a big upgrade from previous gen

Verdict

Our verdict on the RTX 4060

The RTX 4060 is a modestly powered 1080p card that gets the job done, but its limited 8GB memory is a real problem.

Get it if you want solid 1080p gaming without breaking the bank and don't mind sticking to today's textures. Skip it if you plan on cranking up resolution or modding with heavy texture packs, as the memory runs out fast.

Buy it if…

  • You want 1080p ray tracing without breaking the bank.
  • You need a low-power card that fits a small case.
  • You play esports titles and want high framerates on medium settings.
