ASUS Intros ProArt GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Graphics Card

[btarunr]

ASUS today introduced the ProArt GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB graphics card series. These cards offer a cooling solution that's essentially the same as the ROG Strix RTX 4060 Ti, but with a more sober product design suitable for design studios. The 16 GB of memory should benefit certain kinds of creator applications with large data sets. Memory size aside, this is essentially the same RTX 4060 Ti, and while for gaming it's a 1080p thru 1440p class product, for creator applications, the GPU should easily suit higher resolutions such as 4K Ultra HD. You can also benefit from the GeForce Studio drivers that offer certification for several key content creation application suites.

There are three sub-variants of the ProArt RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB based on the clock-speeds on offer. The regular one sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 2535 MHz with the default BIOS, and 2565 MHz with the OC BIOS. The ProArt RTX 4060 Ti Advanced Edition steps this up to 2580 MHz in the OC BIOS. The top ProArt RTX 4060 Ti OC Edition significantly dials up the clock speeds to 2685 MHz, which is close to that of the ROG Strix O8G. All three cards come with a complimentary 3-month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

significantly dials up the clock speeds to 2685 MHz

Funny times when 6% qualifies as "significant".

Who's willing to bet the price is "significantly" more than 6% on top of MSRP?

Well 6% out of the box is (nowadays) somehow significant, but the price bump will be extreme. ProArt series I’m afraid have comparable pricing to ROG...

It's ASS-US, so a wholly unjustified price hike is a guarantee.

If i google "asus coil whine" i get 17.000.000 matches.

I would wait for an indipendent review, which may never come for this model.

While the card is a total joke, I like its looks.

Yeah, Asus premium tax is more or less notable for every model except the cheapest DUAL ones.

I believe the only reason DUAL models don't have a premium tax is because Asus are contractually obliged to stick to Nvidia's MSRP for at least one model.

If Asus could actually get away with a 20% price hike for gullible buyers, you know they would, because higher prices all around would "increase the prestige of their brand" or some other marketing BS. They barely make any profit on the base model so I'm confident Asus would rather just drop the base model entirely if they had a choice in the matter.

Okay hear me out, here's an idea for increasing the prestige of ASUS' brand: we make the C-level execs participate in a competition to see which one can fit the most GPUs up their ass.

No worries but look at the 20th and report back, it will likely be hotels in Costa Rica, that number is pure horse shit, look deeper.

On topic why no price, Asus FFS your releasing it wouldn't it help if I knew how much?!.

No, fair point and true, this is not recommended by me, I eagerly await reviews verses a 3060 and 3060 Ti plus the origaturd 4060Ti

Meh. 3060 Tis can be overclocked too, the baby doink performance gap remains (price is most important on these).

 

[Tek-Check]

Does 160W card need three fans? "Bigger is better?"

Good point there on which I bolded.

No wonder why EVGA quit since their profits started to get almost non-existent and their own R&D isn't free.

Factory OCs on graphics cards have been essentially meaningless for literally years now. I can't even remember the last time a super overclocked (and super overpriced) card was actually notably different than whatever the stock settings were for that GPU.

Have you seen how neelessly huge Asus' GPUs are? Their 125W cards have coolers on them large enough to cool the 350W behemoths from 2 generations ago ;D

Total overkill. The Strix 4060 is one great example. Hell, it could even run passive.

ASSUS is my wifi SSID

Edit: It used to be FASTITS. RIP my 10 yr old Zyxel router with a 500 page manual.

While that's a good one (I'm saving that) I prefer clling them ANUS after an unfortunate episode involving the dreaded "Auto-Correct"

 

[LabRat 891]

Odd.
A mid-high tier gaming GPU being positioned towards Prosumers and Content Creators.
...at least that'd been the ProArt brand/line 'till now.

 

[watzupken]

The RTX 4060 TI 16GB itself will not sell because of the ridiculous premium for the extra 8 GB of VRAM. To make matters worse, the Asus tax will make the overpriced product even more overpriced.

Only way that will happen is if they replaced the 8GB with the 16GB card and dropped $100 off of it

 

[chrcoluk]

Whats the power price for that 6%? Nvidia cards now days even at stock are way too up the efficiency curve.

The cooler looks big, but not exactly the same cooling capability as those used on higher end cards. The number of heatpipes used must be at least halved. The other thing is that it's very profitable to give a bigger cooler, while charging a steep premium because the cooler is not expensive, so the margin is actually fatter.

Oh, I wasn't referring to this card in particular. I was referring to "ASUS GPUs" with this post as context

Asucks very hard these days. Really sad to see how far they've fallen, they were once a decent company. I only buy their routers.
