NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

Specifications, where the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB sits for gaming, the processor worth pairing with it, and the frame rate the pair returns at every resolution.

Pair it with

Core i7-14700K

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and the Core i7-14700K return about 59 fps on High at 1440p with neither part wasting the other. A processor slower than the Core i7-14700K leaves the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB idling, and a faster one adds no frames to a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB at this resolution.

What these numbers mean for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

On our index the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB scores 43.0, which places it 31st of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 66% of them.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and the GeForce RTX 3070 land on exactly the same index score of 43.0, so on raw throughput the two are interchangeable and the choice between them comes down to memory, power draw and price on the day.

16 GB of memory means video memory will never be the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB limiting factor at any resolution it is fast enough to run, including 4K with high texture settings and ray tracing switched on.

At 165 W the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB sits in the mainstream power bracket, so a competent supply of around 450 W total handles the whole machine and cooling is a matter of normal case airflow rather than special planning.

Released in 2023, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is a card most people now meet on the used market or in an existing build rather than on a shelf, and after 3 years the only price worth judging a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB on is what it costs today.

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB frame rate at each resolution

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB paired with the Core i7-14700K on the High preset with 16 GB of system memory. The card is the limit throughout, so the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB falls the full 57% from 79 fps to 34 fps as the pixel count rises.

What to pair with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, and when to upgrade

Best CPU for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

When the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB becomes the limit, the Radeon RX 7900 XT is the next step worth paying for: 70.0 on our index against 43.0, a jump of 63%, which is roughly where an upgrade stops being something you have to look at a counter to notice. See its specs.
