Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Spider-Man OC

[W1zzard]

Zotac's GeForce RTX 4060 Spider-Man will definitely appeal to the younger audience thanks to its flashy colors and a Marvel Spider-Man license. Under the hood, Zotac includes a small factory overclock and a decent cooler that's paired with good fan settings.

Added a bunch of extra photos on the photos page, showing the box contents.

I just confirmed with Zotac that on the 4060, the magnetic Spider-Man backplate and Tote Bag are not included

You say "you get a themed backplate decal that you paste over the regular backplate, special fan hub badging, collectible stickers, and a Spider-Man themed tote bag. The best part? All of this comes at the NVIDIA baseline MSRP of $300 for the RTX 4060!"

Perhaps an edits needed.

No Game?!.

No Spiderman

No point, IMHO.

Ok that makes more sense. I could see a 10-14 year old over the moon with one of these for a Bday or Summer present. I agree with

That this a good deal for the price.​

I’d say dlss 3 alone is definitely with the extra $50, especially in this class of card. On a 4090 it’s nice to have but doesn’t change the experience much in most games. But for a 4060? Ratchet and Clank, Returnal, Forza, Returnal (etc)? Turn those settings up and run with it. The only thing stopping wider adoption is amd (cough. Starfield. cough).

I wouldn't, this £199 max value in reality card, can't pull itself out of obsolescence in 2 years imho, modern consoles are also all AMD, IMHO.

I think nvidia is betting dlss 3 will be ubiquitous in future (non-amd sponsored) demanding games and factors that in heavily in the price as you are getting 3070/3070 ti like performance with it on. It’s ready for prime time and I (and many others) have gotten to the point that I always turn it on for the power savings alone (4090) .

DLSS over the course of now 3 generations has support for around 200-300 games. DLSS is like 50. The Steam Library for instance has over 50,000 games. Let me know when Nvidia has caught up.

Maybe if Nvidia open sourced DLSS or something but review sites have to weight everything equally and most review sites are really pushing away from pushing DLSS as a positive. Even Linus Tech Tips which isn't always the best when it comes to authentic legit testing is seeing the trend. Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed won't seemingly do the dirty work for Nvidia any longer. In fact Hardware Unboxed basically said the specs you see for the 4060 are what you would normally of expected from a $150 card in any past generation.

And if you look at not just 1440P but even the devs of other software you find in instances that have no effect from any of the software Nvidia is schilling that the 3060 12gb beats the 4060 pretty much every time in some of those other instances. Including emulation if you are into those sort of things.

No one wants/needs dlss 2/3 in every game, just the most demanding ones where getting decent performance (at a resolution and settings reasonable for whatever tier of card being used) isn’t feasible otherwise. That’s not 50,000 games. It’s probably not even 1% of that for the cards currently capable of dlss 3.

And I put no faith in clickbait YouTube sites that get high off their own Kool Aid. Hence why I come here.

DLSS is only beneficial once you get to high fps. It is a more beneficial tech on higher end cards. Lower end cards with frame issues and texture issues is just going to not only amplify the issue but also add latency.

Anyone that gives high regards to DLSS be it website or YouTube is a shill. They are literally shilling out the Kool-aid that Nvidia wants people to be sold on when they are releasing some of the worst cards to ever grace us.

The first 1080P GPU was released by Nvidia in 2007. The 8800 GT. 15 years later they are trying to shill us with cards that don't even push the limits. The 3060 beats the 4060 at 1440P games. Benchmarks don't lie. Only people lie. That is a step backwards. DLSS is a joke and anyone that thinks it makes up for lack for hardware innovations needs to learn how to stop drinking Kool Aid because they need to mature past the age of being a child.

You sound like someone who hasn’t used dlss 3 (I assume you mean dlss 3 if you are saying it adds latency since dlss does not) if you think it’s a joke. If turning a 40-50 fps experience into a 70-80 fps experience doesn’t sound appealing to you then I don’t know what to tell you. And what any of this have to do with someone’s maturity? You’re lack of reasoning is rather sad and pathetic.

Also forgive me for not pouring over every benchmark result, but please point me towards the instances where the 4060 is getting beaten by the 3060 at 1440p to satisfy my curiosity. Not like I’m here to defend the card’s pricing. I’m just advocating for the use of dlss 3 as a selling point above the 7600. Not sure where this straw man arguement originated from.

What Games are you talking about? What I don't understand is how DLSS seems so necessary when I don't understand how I should not need to use it with a $1500+ GPU. I never use any upscaling and my GPU drives my monitor quite well at 4K. Even Nvidia's CP2077 gives me over 150+ FPS at all times at 4K. Then how do people have such blind support for something that has so many versions?

This argument about the most demanding Games needing it seems so crazy in a World where AMD 7000 GPUs (Not the 7600) don't need it for 4K. Then people that pay more 4080,3090,4090 for a "better" GPU complain that a Game does not give them the upscaling they need to get decent frames. I have even seen someone post about power savings using DLSS using a 4090 of all things when that card is built to draw every wattage of power it can to perform. Even today on PC World the stream covered this ridiculous split milk argument about Starfield not supporting DLSS without even knowing if the Game is any good.

Sorry meant 3060 ti. 3060 12gb is a bit behind in most benchmarks. Most benchmarks show though that overall best value right now is 6700xt which is selling for around $310. In some benchmarks even the Intel a750 which has sold for as little as $200 beats the 4060. Including 4k even if it is at low frames.

For kicks at 4k 3060 beats 4060

Intel A750 beating 4060 at 1080P and 1440P

This is a 4k example but likely to happen at 1440P given enough time in game and this was on the $400 4060 Ti. Would suspect way worse on the 4060. If you run into an issue like this no version of DLSS will fix it. It only makes it worse. What good is a fake higher frames even the textures look like garbage?

You must not use RT then, or are still playing games that are cross gen. Which is fine. But there are non-cross then games released this year and past cross gen games with RT that will challenge a 7900 xt to reach 60 fps (if that’s your target) maxed at 4K without any upscaling. Jedi Survivor, Dead Space Remake, The Last of Us, and Hogwarts without RT and without upscaling at 4K to name a few.
But as I said, these upscalers are indeed much less needed on the higher tier cards in the here and now (but the future is around the corner), especially if you are not targeting 100-120+ fps and don’t use RT. On cards the level of the 4060, on the other hand, I’d say they are a wecolme addition and a much greater value add. $50 alone imho is a reasonable price to pay for dlss 3 when comparing a 4060 to a 7600.

I have a 4K 144hz monitor that is fine the way it is and has HDR 1000 support. I don't need to use RT to enjoy my Games either as TWWH3 and Diablo 4 (with a sprinkle of Grid Legends) support it. You would think that RTS would be the genre that would benefit the most from RT but I don't see any TWWH player asking for RT.

I just got a 4K 160hz (though I leave it at 144 hz for DSC/dual monitor reasons) hdr 1000 monitor. I’ve been grinding through Grid 2019 lately but also have Grid Legends installed. You can add me through steam with friend code: 45140418 and maybe we can have a race!

Summary video comparing all 10 cards

After watching this I came away with a couple of points.

1. I am willing to bet that the Gigabyte card temp issue is nothing more than not enough TP on the Die.
2. The 6700XT is the best value in this price range
3. Asus are on drugs selling a 4060 for almost $400. RGB or not.
4. This card should have been the 4050 or 4660 ti
5. There are still more models to come the MSI stream listed 4 models from them.
6. AMD need to release a 7700XT to push the price of the 6700XT into this range.
7. The 6650XT is such an interesting card
8. The 3070 was a pretty good card
