Introduction

PNY GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Verto Dual Fan is the company's most affordable custom-design graphics card based on NVIDIA's latest entry to the mainstream segment. It launches at exactly $399, or the MSRP for the RTX 4060 Ti, hence we are allowed to present our review a day before those of premium custom-design cards priced above the MSRP. The Verto Dual Fan by PNY covers all the basics of the graphics card, and is designed for those who just want an RTX 4060 Ti that they can install and get gaming. The card runs the GPU at reference speeds, and offers the added bonus of a legacy 8-pin PCIe power connector, so even those with entry-level legacy PSUs can get in on the action.



The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is part of a three-model RTX 4060-series. This is the primary model with 8 GB memory, there is going to be a 16 GB model bound for July, alongside the more affordable RTX 4060 (non-Ti). The RTX 4060 Ti is based on the newer 5 nm AD106 silicon, which it nearly maxes out, enabling 34 out of 36 SM (streaming multiprocessors), which work out to 4,352 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, 136 Tensor cores, those many TMUs, and 48 ROPs. While the card comes with the same 8 GB memory size as its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti, its memory bus width is generationally halved to 128-bit. NVIDIA introduced several architectural improvements that reduce the dependency on memory bandwidth by deploying large on-die caches, which we'll detail in the next page. Another area of cost-cutting is the PCIe interface, which now runs at Gen 4 x8.

The main play for the RTX 4060 Ti is that it still offers all of the good stuff NVIDIA introduced with the RTX 40-series Ada architecture, including the switch to the new 5 nm foundry process, which vastly reduces power draw; support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation technology, which conjures up entire alternative frames purely using AI, and without involving the graphics rendering machinery; and generational improvements to the ray tracing performance. Ada debuts the third generation of NVIDIA's path-breaking RTX real time ray tracing technology, and the fourth generation of NVIDIA's AI acceleration.

The PNY RTX 4060 Ti Verto Dual Fan comes with a basic board design, and uses a compact, dual-slot cooling solution. An aluminium fin-stack heatsink cools the GPU and other hot components, which is ventilated by a pair of fans. A basic plastic cooler shroud and metal backplate are used to complete the look. What you get at its $399 MSRP is everything the RTX 4060 Ti has to offer on its own.
