Review
The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 ventures into the bustling mid-range GPU market with a promise of advanced gaming features and an intriguing new ability that sets it apart. Built on the robust NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, it provides not only impressive energy efficiency but also a unique solution for users in need of additional storage solutions in compact setups.
Innovative Features and Specifications
This 8GB GDDR6 card is the first to utilize an M.2 SSD slot directly on the GPU itself. The innovative design allows the card to offer PCIe Gen 5 SSD capabilities through a cleverly integrated slot that draws power and connectivity from unused PCIe lanes. It provides an inventive solution for scenarios where additional high-speed storage is necessary, particularly in small form factor systems that might be lacking in Gen 5 SSD slots (TechPowerUp).
Performance and Gaming
The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC Edition 8GB employs the AD106 GPU and boosts to a frequency of 2595 MHz, outperforming the previous generation's RTX 3070 and slightly bettering the RTX 2080 Ti in 1080p configurations (TechPowerUp). While solid for 1440p gaming, its 8GB VRAM can be limiting with ray tracing at higher settings in the latest titles. Despite this, the card maintains competitive stature against AMD’s RX 7700 XT, trading blows in performance but standing out in power efficiency and DLSS 3 Frame Generation capabilities, which significantly enhances frame rates (PCGamer).
Cooling Efficiency
The ASUS card features a dual-fan cooling system, sufficiently managing the GPU's 160W TDP. However, in its default “Performance” mode, it can be a bit loud due to the aggressive fan profile aimed at managing potential SSD heat output. Switching to "Quiet" mode allows for silent operation in low-demand scenarios, enhancing the user’s experience without significant temperature gains (TechPowerUp).
Value and Market Competition
At a competitive price point of $479.95, the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti aims to balance cost and performance while providing unique added storage flexibility. This novel approach is ideally suited for setups without extensive motherboard M.2 slots or for those opting not to invest in a separate SSD adapter (PCGamer).
Conclusion
The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC Edition 8GB strikes an exceptional balance of performance, efficiency, and price, with the added intrigue of integrated SSD capability. While it might necessitate a bit of setup research regarding bifurcation support for its SSD feature, it remains a compelling choice for gamers seeking a capable 1080p card with innovative storage options and minimal power requirements (TechPowerUp and PCGamer).
