Alternatively, should you consider saving the money and opting for the smaller die version?
We will answer this question with an extensive benchmark session.
We’ve prepared a 40-game benchmark covering 1080p and 1440p resolutions.
This means they are fundamentally two different products and don’t share the same silicon.
As expected, the RTX 4060 is a leaner product with fewer cores and less memory bandwidth.
The resolutions of interest here are 1080p and 1440p, so let’s get into it.
However, when enabling ray tracing, we see scaling goes in the opposite direction.
Whereas the Ti version was 29% faster at 1080p, it’s just 19% faster at 1440p.
Now, it’s just 9% faster than the 4060 at 1080p and 11% faster at 1440p.
The obvious answer here is memory bandwidth.
Resolution scaling inFortniteis very consistent using the DirectX 11 mode.
Here, the 4060 Ti was 21% faster at 1080p and 22% faster at 1440p.
Still, not amazing results given the 33% increase in price, and performance overall was quite weak.
Next up, we have Resident Evil 4, and this is an interesting one.
With ray tracing enabled, we see more of the same.
This is an interesting set of results.
This is a big problem for the 4060 series and that 128-bit wide memory bus.
Moving on toHogwarts Legacy, we’re back to what we’d say are fairly typical margins.
We find some interesting results with ray tracing enabled.
This is yet another test that really highlights the problems with the 4060 Ti.
The last game we’re going to look at is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
So, decent gains there, but again, not quite in line with the price increase.
Now it’s time to see how these two GPUs compare across all the games tested.
So, let’s proceed with that, starting with the 1080p data.
On average, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is 22% faster than the RTX 4060 at 1080p.
Upping the resolution to 1440p results in similar margins overall.
Here, the 4060 Ti was only 24% faster on average.
Bottom Line: Is the “Ti” Worth It?
So, is the “Ti” worth it?
The short answer: no.
The problems, on the other hand, begin when you start to pay attention to the memory subsystem.
This would result in a more consistent 30-40% performance uplift over the 4060.
Regrettably, the16GB version of the 4060 Tidoesn’t solve all its problems either.
