ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Ti TUF OC

Jon Peddie Research has just published the GPU market share results for Q1 2024 which show a big decline in shipments for NVIDIA, AMD & Intel.

• JPR found that AIB shipments during the quarter decreased from the last quarter by 12.6%, which is below the 10-year average of -4.9%.

• Total AIB shipments decreased by -38.2% this quarter from last year to 6.3 million units and were down from 7.16 million units last quarter.

It's interesting that we just don't see a news article about a bad news on TechPowerUP any more. No market declines, no serial failures of most popular SSDs, no security breaches in hundreds of motherboards...

Decline in shipments yes. Increased profits per each sold unit is where it would be interesting to see P/Ls.

Either way, you can't hurt these companies with the recently reported skyrocket demand for processors running artifical intelligence systems. NVIDIA most likely is having the last laugh and consumer segment shipment reduction is probably just crumbs for the market leader. AMD must be enjoying similar benefits at a smaller scale.

But yeah i agree i would like to see TPU roll out these types of reports on the regular!

So apart for unnecessarily large cooler even the PCB is stupidly big to justify the Shitsus tax.

My first thought when seeing the PCB

thats not a good allergic reaction. Book yourself in and get yourself checked out.

Same price as the 2080ti was but with less ram.
Well at least it’s not $650

Why not? You definitely have to experiment with this^^^^ price. See what happens

Looks like the 6800XT is still going to be relevant for quite a while longer.

The FE edition's comments are closed so I'll ask here

@W1zzard will you be reviewing the 16GB 4060 Ti-s releasing tomorrow? I'm curious to see if the extra RAM makes any tangible difference.

It's the same card, it will perform better if you manage to configure a game to allocate more then 8GB VRAM. We really needed HardOCP's "max playable settings" comparisons here

It's just like those old entry level video cards ages ago that has oddly large vram sizes

First post:
Thank you very much for the comprehensive review.

I do not game.
I do video transcoding and require the nVidia NVENC and NVDEC hardware in this card.

The 4060-ti is the lowest priced Series 40 card that offers AV1 encoding.
I would have to double the price and reach up to the 4070-ti to gain two encoders, vs the one encoder in the 4060-ti.
Not worth it.

I appreciate the cooling analysis offered here.
Transcoding a blu-ray or 4k video runs the GPU up to the max temp limits and pegs it there for hours on end.

The 4060-ti is the lowest priced Series 40 card that offers AV1 encoding.

Nah, that would be the non-Ti 4060

 

[bgavin]

True, that.
I should have said the 4060 is the lowest priced Series 40 card that offers AV1 encoding.

I do not game, so my need is entirely focused on AV1 transcoding.
The AD107 in the 4060 is indeed slower, lesser L2 cache, lesser cores and lesser SMs.
All with a lesser price.

Both chips have a single NVENC processor.
I figure "in for a penny.. in for a pound" so I will opt for the 4060-ti for my AV1 needs, even though more expensive.
I would have to double the price to get the 2nd NVENC encoder but have no clue if this would double my AV1 throughput or not.

The MSI Gaming X Trio scores every so slightly better cooling, but the removable and serviceable fan shroud of the ASUS TUF Gaming is so very appealing to me.
This would let me clean the heat sinks and fans without disturbing the thermal material between the chip and heat sink.

No joke, more than a while.. Snoozeville until 2025

Similar RPM, over 4dBa difference? Huh?
