Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (8GB) review: Disappointing for $400

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB brings Nvidia's awesome DLSS 3 mainstream, but offers disappointing value as an upgrade to the 3060 Ti and as a standalone 1080p gaming option in 2023. Technical decisions also make it unappealing for 1440p gamers, unlike its predecessor. At first blush, Nvidia's $399 GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (8GB) looks like it should be a smashing success. Its predecessor, 2020's $399 GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, was one of the best GPUs in a strong RTX 30-series generation, offering impeccable 1080p and spectacular 1440p gaming performance at a reasonable price. The new RTX 4060 Ti sticks to the same price while weaving in Nvidia's latest killer RTX 40-series features, like DLSS 3, Reflex, RTX Video Super Resolution, best-in-class ray tracing, AV1 encoding, stunning power efficiency, and more. Nvidia made technical decisions--reducing core counts and altering the memory subsystem--that allow the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti to scream at 1080p resolution but make it unappealing for 1440p gaming.
