Asus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti TUF OC 8GB

Mid-range video accelerator of the year based on the Nvidia AD 106 GPU, built using the advanced Ada Lovelace microarchitecture. It is a representative of the popular Asus TUF gaming line, which stands out for its meticulous attitude to the increased quality and reliability of the device. It differs markedly from the reference NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti from - for cooling, an adapted metal radiator with several heat pipes is provided, which cover 3 Axial-tech fans with support for silent operation on top.

The minimalistic black casing of the video card on the side is decorated with a neat TUF logo with built-in Asus Aura Sync backlight. The printed circuit board is 30 cm long, and the accelerator itself occupies 3.2 slots in the motherboard when installed, so the manufacturer recommends it for installation in standard assemblies with a Mid Tower case and a monitor with a resolution of 1080p or 1440p.

According to most gamers, this model is the best replacement for mid-range GPUs that came out 3-4 years ago - GTX 1060, GTX 1660 and RTX 2060/2060 Super. Replacing it with a conditional RTX 3060 Ti from the last generation of Ampere does not make much sense, since both cards give out more than 60 FPS in most modern AAA games at 1080p and maximum graphics settings, or at 1440p and medium-high settings.

In general, the overall increase in gaming performance compared to its predecessor is a rather modest 8%. It is important to note that the Ada Lovelace series GPUs use next-generation support cores that are not available to previous NVIDIA GPUs. We are talking about special cores for hardware ray tracing and a new generation of tensor cores, which significantly affect the quality and efficiency of DLSS 3.0 supersampling algorithms. Architecturally, the Asus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti TUF Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6 is built on the basis of the AD106 crystal, which was previously used in the GeForce RTX 4070 mobile video adapters. The crystal contains 4352 stream processors, the operating frequency is 2655 MHz, the amount of GDDR6 memory is 8 GB.
