Gigabyte Quietly Launches Low Profile GeForce RTX 4060 Graphics Card

[GerKNG]

It's far more than a 1030, but I agree that 300 quid is a bit too steep.

it could be a 4030.

And? Have you heard of Lincoln, which is a division of Ford, or Lexus, which is a division of Toyota, or HyperX, which used to be a brand of Kingston until they sold it to HP? Yes, all HyperX gear is made by HP.

Cars are a whole different story.

HyperX is a brand, that Kingston bought, then as you said, was sold to HP, so is about the same as Alienware, my point is, why Gigabyte released a Brand instead of creating a line.

You don't need the manufacturer's name on the box for the product to be made by that manufacturer. I honestly don't know why you find this so hard to understand.


What 6400 is that? I had one from Sapphire and didn't encounter that problem.

Is a Gigabyte.

I don't know. RX 7600 or 2080 level performance with a 115 W TDP isn't too bad. Actually, if I wanted to buy an Ada card, the 4060 would be the only one I'd consider (just not for 300 quid).

We used to have the best price per frame generated and the highest efficiency for the lowest GPU models in the past. A few years ago, NVIDIA changed that, simultaneously bumping up the prices of low-end cards. Now they have relatively high prices and the efficiency is worse.

No, they're not. A brand is a brand. I could have mentioned Fanta, which is a brand of Coca-Cola. There are countless examples of brands owning other brands all over the world.

I don't have a problem with their efficiency, but their price is abysmal, I agree with that.

Rare in DIY computer parts.

It does happen, though. I could have mentioned Crucial, which is a brand owned by Micron.

Just get over it, dude.

 

[Pepamami]

Rog is Asus, in the box says asus, same for TUF, Prime and ProArt, but Aorus is a brand, it doesn't says Gigabyte Aorus, that's the difference.

um I have Aorus, and it does say that in full product name:
"Gigabyte MODEL_NAME Aorus + model suffix (like PRO)"
Aorus word always goes right after model name.

mind=blown

the 8-pin is really unfortunate though.

I like it.
It's one of the most powerful low profile gpus. I think only the A4000 SFF is faster (and ridiculously expensive).

The 4060 is fine for 1080p gaming but even in that resolution there are 3-4-5 games that run below 60fps. Not way lower than 60 ...at 55ish.
It's fine but if it had 10% more performance, it would be great - let alone for the price it asks.

The other thing is the size. Is the low profile that preferable than the ITX gpus?
How much smaller a case can be, so the sacrifice getting a low profile gpu (with the limitation of models) instead of an ITX one is worth it?
There are 4060Ti in ITX format and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 4070 ITX as some point.

that would be an interesting comparison. The A400 SFF is 70 watt i believe

HyperX says (said) By Kingston.

This card is cute.

The arguing does need to stop though.

It looks like maybe you are unfamiliar with business terms. They are confusing. Auros is a brand but it can also be called a subsidiary of Gigabyte. A subsidiary is just a company owned by another company. Some companies use their name as their brand. So in this case a Gigabyte Auros Geforce 4060 is a Gigabyte manufactured product under its subsidiary that uses its name as the brand.

Easy to understand right?! Lol!

That's not the problem, what I found rare is that Aorus doesn't seems to be as popular as Gigabyte itself.

HyperX or Crucial, have way way better recognizable as independent brands, but Aorus doesn't seems to be a brand.

 

[freeagent]

Every Aorus box I have seen says Gigabyte on it. Its their version of ROG.

Just like every ROG box I have seen says Asus on it.. Ridiculous argument.

From Gigabyte's Wikipedia page:
"Aorus is a registered sub-brand trademark of Gigabyte belonging to Aorus Pte. Ltd.,[20] which is a company registered in Singapore.[21] Aorus specializes in gaming related products such as motherboards, graphics cards, notebooks, mice, keyboards, SSDs, headsets, cases, power supply and CPU coolers.[22]"

Can we move on, please?

Longtime HTPC user here,with Silverstone horizontal GD08 case.
Gigabyte website doesnt mention if the card has Fan-stop feature.
Having triple small diameter fan whining all the time even not gaming is a big let down for me.
What a waste ,because Gigabyte is the only gpu maker putting dual HDMI outputs on their cards which is a must if you are connecting it your tv for different hdr and sdr settings and then they are killing it with other wrong choices.
They did similar mistake with

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 WindForce OC Review

Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 4060 WindForce OC is the most compact card in our testing today. It is priced at the $300 MSRP, yet can sneak in a small factory overclock. In our testing the small cooler doesn't do so well though and ends up running quite hot and loud.

just check out temperatures and noise from this particular model

Wow this really went of the rails with a silly marketing and corporate structure discussion

i was about to write this, "quiet launch of not so quiet gpu", but honestly i don't think it is gonna be that bad. It should have 20watt idle multimonitor power consumption. i think it will be doable to dissipate with a sensible fan profile.

cooling looks like a substantial upgrade over a2000 in that regard

a2000 has 30% fan minimum limit

Yes,i hope we will see TPU review for this particular model

Shit card dont buy this, hard to find those fans to replace a dead one, and fans dies quickly due to high speed spins.

 

[Tomgang]

I had my eyes on this for a few weeks now, to replace my RTX A2000 for my mini-ITX system part in my build.

This have some benefits over what i have now. 6 vs. 8 GB vram. Around RTX 3050 vs real rtx 4060 performance, can get ridt of the few problems A2000 gives me in games like in some games when running fullscreen mode i can get a blinking black screen (so some games i have to run i wondows borderles mode to get ridt of screen blinking).

Given what i can hopefully sell my RTX A2000 for vs. 4060 pricing, it should not be a to much of an exspence either.

Still awaiting pricing an aviability before final desicision.

OH, site note for those also considering this cards. If you have a older system with PCIe 3 only, you can exspect to lose 5-10 % performance, do to nvidia doing a cheap out. RTX 4060 only runs PCIe 4 X8. So in a PCIe 3 setup, that would bacically be like running it a PCIe 2 full.

Shit card dont buy this, hard to find those fans to replace a dead one, and fans dies quickly due to high speed spins.

Well true. But it also depends on if the fans spins at ilde and at what speed or Gigabyte implement a 0 DB mode on the card. 0 DB mode will give the fans a longer life span.

I can tell my RTX A2000 is almost 1 year old and teh blower fan spins at all time at minimum 3000 RPM and under load around 3800 to 4300 RPM. So far no noise increase or problems. But it has also only been 1 year.

Why went of the rails ? Are we discussing workstations and quantum computers in low-profile gpu topic ?
How ı am criticizing some particular brand while i have brands Gigabyte gtx 1050 ti graphic card ?

My crappy AMD 6400 has 3 fans similar to the 4600 (at least on pictures) and that card (The AMD 6400) is not noisy at all.

 

[freeagent]

Do GPU fans really die that often?

I used my GTX 580 Matrix Platinum 24/7 for about 7 years, fans are still good..

GTX 980 Classified on 24/7 for 6 years of ownership with me, plus god knows how long with previous owner.. fans are still good.

RTX 3070 Ti in use and on 24/7 for 3 summers, fans are still mint.

Hm..
