The Card

Palit RTX 4060 Ti Dual OC has a very conventional-looking design that looks like it can be sold very close to the NVIDIA MSRP. The sporty-looking cooler shroud, as well as the backplate, are made of plastic.


Palit has placed an RGB illuminated zone near the top right of the card.


Dimensions of the card are 25.0 x 12.0 cm, and it weighs 621 g.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere).

The new 8th Gen NVENC now accelerates AV1 encoding, besides HEVC. You also get an "optical flow accelerator" unit that is able to calculate intermediate frames for videos, to smooth playback. The same hardware unit is used for frame generation in DLSS 3.


The card uses a single classic 8-pin PCIe power connector, which should be more convenient and easier to deal with than the 12VHPWR connector used on the FE model.

Teardown

Disassembling the Palit Dual OC is pretty straightforward. You undo a series of screws, first the backplate comes off, then the heatsink follows.


The Palit Dual OC cooler design is a simple fare, a copper base-plate makes contact with the GPU, surrounded by an aluminium one, which pulls heat from the memory chips. The baseplate region has its own set of aluminium fins. Three nickel-plated copper heatpipes pass through, with two additional fin-stacks at their ends.


The card uses three nickel-plated copper heat pipes to spread heat across the cooler.


The backplate is made of plastic. We like how Palit it put in effort to give it a brushed aluminium appearance.
