RTX 4060Ti Review: Part 1- Pricing and Rasterization Performance

I’m not going to waste time with a long and fluffy opening. Nvidia has launched the RTX 4060Ti and it has not gone well. By now, must people know the RTX 4060Ti has been a let down in terms of performance for the price. Let’s start off by looking at why. Why are Gamers Upset? “The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness…shadow and flame” – Lord of the Rings. The raw performance has been disappointing. The bus bandwidth and memory size has been disheartening. The price to performance has been …

With the announcement of several smaller RTX 4060 and 4060Ti GPUs, it’s a good time to look at some builds using similar sized cards. I also need to filter through the backlog of YouTube videos I should have posted links for. In this case (Ha!), we have L91, seen above prepping for his career as a F1 Crew Chief, performing a nicely balanced build-up of a Lazer3D LZX-8.

The laptop GPUs have reduced CUDA cores, reduced clocks, and reduced power usage. The result is that the laptop GPU offers nowhere near the performance of the desktop model of the same name. As the laptop GPUs are often used in SFF prebuilt computers, it’s important know the …
