NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
A 1080p ray-tracing card. Fine, not a 1440p champion.
What it is used for
8 GB and a cut-down bus. DLSS and NVENC are the reasons to pick it over a used 3070, not raw raster.
Good for
- 1080p ultra
- Light 1440p
- Efficient SFF builds
- NVENC streaming
Not the pick for
- 4K
- Texture-heavy 1440p mods
- Local AI beyond tiny models
How it scores today
Out of 100, relative to current PCs — not to the year it launched.
