From Tom's Hardware: Nearly two months after launching the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB model is now available from Nvidia's add-in board (AIB) partners. Nvidia spilled the beans back in mid-May when it announced the then-upcoming RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti GPUs, detailing its own internal performance testing results. Now, independent reviewers can finally test the cards and see for themselves how much doubling the VRAM while keeping the same 128-bit memory interface helps performance.
Will the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB rank among the best graphics cards? That remains to be seen, as Nvidia isn't sampling tech sites with hardware. It's now a race to see who can get cards first to determine how it performs. Unless you want to trust Nvidia's benchmarks? If so, here are the details — these are the same slides from May when Nvidia provided a teaser of performance:.
Nvidia only provided testing results at 1080p since that's the supposed target resolution — yes, even for the 16GB model! Obviously, $399 and $499 graphics cards can also run plenty of games at 1440p, and in fact, that's what Nvidia suggested as the target resolution for the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070 back in 2020. Two and a half years later, roughly the same market segment in terms of price has apparently stepped down a notch on resolution.
As for the numbers, we don't have exact fps values, but it's immediately obvious that Nvidia depends on DLSS 3 Frame Generation for a big part of the "performance upgrade" — 11 of the 18 tested games support DLSS 3. The margins there look much larger than in the bottom seven games, where we see true comparable performance metrics.
