ASUS Unveils GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

ASUS today announced NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti graphics cards for the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ASUS Dual families, delivering the latest NVIDIA architecture and cutting-edge tech such as DLSS 3 frame generation to mainstream gamers. The RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards will be the frontrunners for this series, and they will ship with a healthy 8 GB of VRAM. At a later date, ASUS will also launch variants of the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, Dual, and Dual White RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards equipped with an even-larger 16 GB pool of VRAM. The extra helping of memory will give gamers with a taste for cutting-edge graphics extra headroom to dial up high-resolution textures and high-end visual effects in demanding games.

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4060, TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060, ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 and ASUS Dual White GeForce RTX 4060 are also coming at a later date. ASUS will share all the details on these graphics cards soon, so gamers will not have to wait long to learn more about them—or make one their own. These GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060-powered GPUs are designed to deliver incredible performance for mainstream gamers and creators at 1080p resolution at 100 frames per second with ray tracing and DLSS 3. The GeForce RTX 4060 product family delivers all the advancements of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture—including DLSS 3 neural rendering, third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates, and an eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) with AV1 encoding.



The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4060 Ti takes no prisoners
PC builders determined to outfit their gaming rig with hardware that offers an unbeatable balance of performance, features, and bold style need to look no further than the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. Sporting the same cyberpunk flair as its 40 Series siblings, this graphics card is slimmed down to a 3.1-slot design that is only 311.4 mm long, for compatibility with more PC cases. It is a power-sipping unit, too: it only needs a single 8-pin power connector.

The card's more compact dimensions still leave plenty of surface area on its MaxContact heatsink for airflow. Three new 11-blade Axial-tech fans, which can push 21% more air volume than previous-gen models, deliver a stream of cooling air. Additionally, a massive vented backplate gives heat another pathway to exhaust from a PC. 0 dB technology keeps the card completely silent under lighter workloads.

Going with Strix gives gamers the premium package of extra features. Choose between performance and quiet modes with a Dual BIOS switch, connect PC case fans to two FanConnect II headers, and light up a rig with a ring of ARGB tail-lights compatible with Aura Sync. Meanwhile, reliable power delivery and time-tested build quality through the ASUS Auto-Extreme manufacturing process help ensure this card will power gaming experiences for years to come.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti offers trusted performance
For gamers on the lookout for a graphics card with stripped-down style, essential features, and rock-solid performance, ASUS offer the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. This card deploys the same powerful GPU as its ROG Strix sibling, but with a slightly thicker heatsink and shorter 300 mm overall length for wider case compatibility. A wide vent on the high-strength aluminium backplate improves airflow compared to last-gen cards. With the additional venting, its 3.12-slot footprint, and three new 11-blade Axial-tech fans, the TUF model is fully equipped for effective cooling.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti also offers a Dual BIOS switch so that users can easily prioritize quiet operation or all-out performance. A redesigned ARGB TUF logo along the shroud adds a dash of customizable color, while military-grade capacitors and the Auto-Extreme manufacturing process provide the reliable operation that all TUF cards are known for.

The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and Dual White launch a new era
Updated with a fresh look and an upgraded cooling system, ASUS Dual graphics cards bring GeForce RTX 40 Series power to mainstream gamers. ASUS is offering two variants: an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti draped in classy black and an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti finished in pristine white. Retro-futuristic design elements add a touch of personality, as does the semi-transparent view onto the heatsink at the top of the card. For builders who prefer a more subdued sense of style, either option is a perfect fit.

With the Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, users will get premium features, including a vented aluminium backplate, 0 dB technology, and the latest 11-blade Axial-tech fans. But the Dual's main claim to fame appears right in its name: it offers a compact dual-fan cooling solution that keeps the card's total length down to a mere 227 mm. This makes it a great choice for builders planning a space-saving system. With a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, the Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti can easily be deployed into an existing build, and dual ball fan bearings help ensure a long lifespan.

So couple of lazy bums slapping stupidly large heatsinks where they are not needed granted it seems to be the story of majority of these x50 x60 releases from Tier 1 AIB while smaller ones have small cards.

Yeah 160w but using the same chonkified monster of a cooler my 7900 XT uses which is a GPU you can pull 400w with just upping the power limiter??? LOL

 

[piloponth]

Better not to buy anything from Asus. You never know how much voltage/curent they are pushing into chips even when various protections are on the board )

Control freak at Nvidia will never allow for stunts with "protection" that was pulled off with motherboards and all AIB "partners" are on tight lease with fear of being culled if anything is out of order.

At least, you should get something cold & silent ...
They can't screw everething

 

[wolf]

why are these cards so freaking large, I mean they're all sub 200w cards ffs, we don't need enormous triple fan 2.1+ slot behemoths to get the best out of them. The founders edition 3080 @ 320w was a dual slot 285mm long card, yet AIB's are slapping silly large coolers and to an extent PCB's on these.

 

[AusWolf]

Triple fans on a 165 W card, what a waste of space! Am I the only one thinking that card manufacturers have been getting lazy recently, that is they slap whatever high-end stuff they've got onto all of their cards?

 

[Hyderz]

its the sub branding, people see strix name on it and they immediately think it will be super good..
the strix cards have always been a bit better at performing quieter than the other aib and maybe slightly cooler temps
it used to be alright when the price difference between the founders and the strix was like $30-$40 but now its not worth the $100+ dollars difference

Sure it's that much when you have a 4090-grade cooler on a 4060 Ti for no reason whatsoever.

I agree, I think the strix cooler on the 4060 series looks to be just over 2 slots not the 3.7 slot behemoth, I don’t know why they can’t make a dual fan strix card

Not sure laziness is the source. It's a trend IMO, been a trend for a while now. Lower end card with a high end cooling. So, when you look at your LED illuminated windowed case you get "a nice feeling", compensating for the framerates

 

[Camm]

I know they must sell, but I really wish vendors would focus on providing cards as thin and short as they possibly can. Sick of these monsters that literally bend themselves in the ATX spec.

 

[ZoneDymo]

anyone else think they slap the big coolers on there so gamers feel validated in paying 500 bucks for a weak product?

Plenty of other brands with small coolers.

 

[gffermari]

It's ridiculous. The 2080Ti was 250W and dual slot card and these ones at 165W are 2.5 slots wide.
I mean, come one, they should be not only 2 slots wide but short as well. ITX kind of size.
Why on earth would you buy a 2.5 slot, triple fan 165W card?

 

[Bomby569]

Triple fans on a 165 W card, what a waste of space! Am I the only one thinking that card manufacturers have been getting lazy recently, that is they slap whatever high-end stuff they've got onto all of their cards?

there was always triple fan cards for 60 class card and even for lower TDP's. triple fan is awesome. The over 2 slots that's the new part i think.
The 3060 tuf was already chonky apparently, over 2 slots

 

[N/A]

110 watt 4060 certainly doesn't need triple fan 3 slot solutions but it probably only has 2-3 heat pipes under the shroud and is cheapened down so they are not just stupidity wasting material. But at what cost, better get the Ti model.

Remember the GTX 1060 Strix? Triple fans for 120 W.

i think from 10 series the 60 moniker cards has the triple fan from asus, the 9 series didnt have i believe

This has become a trend in the last 2-3 generations, especially on Nvidia. I like silence in my PC, but I like achieving that silence with SFF parts through power limit tuning, and not with ridiculously oversized and overpriced coolers.

Remember the GTX 1060 Strix? Triple fans for 120 W.

Completely unnecessary. I had one of the above linked single-fan ITX 1060s, and it was awesome. Quite silent, too.

 

[Dimitriman]

Not that the 4060Ti is much of an upgrade over the 3060Ti, but yeah, large coolers on these things are stupid. Just goes to show how detached Nvidia and partners are from the market. People want SFF stuff, the SFF market is huge. But NO.... one MUST slap large coolers in everything.

Couldn't agree more.

To try and justify the 400/500 price tag for a 250-300 GPU of course
