If your purpose is just to play games, having 12GB of VRAM is too much for you. However, for video editing or rendering purposes, VRAM becomes crucial. Higher VRAM capacity can significantly impact rendering performance-the more, the better. But having 12GB VRAM on the RTX 3060 doesn't necessarily mean it outperforms the RTX 4060 8GB in rendering and video editing tasks. The RTX 4060, with its higher CUDA core count, can still excel despite its lower VRAM capacity. You'll only need higher VRAM if you're handling larger projects with extensive scenes and heavy textures. In terms of future-proofing, a higher VRAM size can make your GPU more future-proof. The RTX 3060 12GB can be considered future-proof in terms of VRAM size. However, the RTX 4060 is also future-proof due to its newer architecture, which may offer better compatibility with newer software and longer support from NVIDIA compared to the RTX 3060. Regarding power consumption, the RTX 4060 consumes less power than the RTX 3060 due to its newer architecture. If you live in a city with expensive energy costs, this difference in energy consumption should be a consideration. I hope it helps...😉
It is actually. Looking at how frame generation working you will need more vram. Like this guy didn't use amd fsr 3.1 . If he did you will see why 12gb is just better and also future proof
@@siddharthsahu7123 i would recommend 12gb or 16gb. 8GB is already too little for modern triple A games. I would recommend 12 or even 16 if that fits your budget. You could try a rx6800 with 16gb of vram, or if you want current gen you could try a 7700XT. A 8GB card probably wont do well running a modern game like GTA6.
@@gflash.1 rx6800 is not available in my place. I am considering rx7600 xt 16gb ( 32k inr) or rtx3060 12gb (24kinr) , rtx4060 8gb (28k inr) As per your suggestion I believe rtx3060 12gb is more futureproof than a rtx 4060 8gb
This comparison is a tiny bit misleading, because you're relying on the game's graphical presets. I'm presently playing HFW on a slightly downvolted RTX 3060 12gb, at 1080p. By researching which specific graphical settings are actually worth raising, and which ones are just wasting resources, I can get a steady 70-75 FPS pretty much everywhere with absolutely gorgeous graphics. And as for those 12gb of VRAM, they allow you to play with higher resolution textures which makes a big difference in graphical detail. And besides gaming, those 12gb come in handy for tinkering with AI image generation software, like Stable Diffusion.
I can get nice rate with my Zotac even my Titan sli can play elden ring on max and textures high is what I am looking at,as long as I get 60fps I am happy.And almost feel like I did not need the 3060 but it uses less power.I have the X370 with R7 5700g sli titans and the B550m with the 3060 r7 3700x and the newest games I have is RDR2 ,Elden Ring and Days gone.Both Machines look and play great.Rather sacrifice lighting and some shaders than textures.
192bit bus, full x16 lanes, 12gb vram .... and by applying ultra textures ,+ mods 12gb vram will definitely come in handy. ofc it will provide less fps than 4060 in some latest titles but it will be smooth and stable and atleast no texture blurrs or stutters.... and even framge generation needs more vram hence 4060 is already struggling on vram hungry games. the most + point of 4060 is its tdp and full av1 support. if 4060 had 12gb or 16gb vram then definitely it would be worthy but with 8gb vram and 128bit bus?! no
I have had a 4060 for 6 months and am reasonably happy - you can sense it's limits when pushing games at 1440p, but overall, as an entry level card this gen, it's decent. The energy consumption vs. performance delivered is a clear bonus. I will switch it out for a 4070 soon though, as I prefer gaming at 1440p and I think that would be better for my set-up. No regrets though and I will hold the card as a back up.
Why not 4070 SUPER? I have the SUPER and it's awesome. I think it's worth the small price difference. Here's my demo of how it performs when paired with the Ryzen 5 7600X - th-cam.com/video/s6XAbTdyfPo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nsPO7MNLcMXTS3W4
tbh because of that there is almost no reason to get the 4060 8gb. esp when the 3060 can be used as a 1440p card with upscaling, dlss, and fsr framegen or lossless scaling
If only the RTX 4060 has 10 gb vram instead of 8 with the same specs and price, it would be one of the best cards in history on Quality/ price value But the problem is that 12gb in the 3060 will be more helpful in the future games like gta 6 for example. Well, I think I will wait for the 5060 and let's hope it don't come with 8gb vram as well.
Did you do anything to your POV footage? I usually get motion sickness on any 1st person video, but your footage didn't trigger it. Maybe it has to do with the stabilization or how smoothly it moves. Regardless, great video!
This footage is as raw as it gets🙂 I'm using an iPhone to film. So, the camera wideness is not as aggressive as on an action camera. Maybe that plays a role🤷♂️ I appreciate your feedback and thanks for checking out my video🤝🙂
@@bradlydrummondofficial if you did, the 16GB variant is the only one. If you go Intel you’ll need to keep waiting for their support of games to increase and drivers, but it’s pretty good. That leaves the AMD cards, which now with FSR3 and the frame gen that can even be modded into games, it’s pretty much the safest lineup for rasterization which is still mostly what games are designed around. Most gamers just don’t use raytracing, which leans in AMD cards favor tbh
Just to clarification RTX 3060 better for old PC limited 16gb RAM. RTX 4060 if you have modern PC fully pci-e 4 (limited x8), rebar enable with 32gb RAM for not stuttering add nice m2 with cache Ram.

The RTX 4060 is a very good card for 1080p gaming. Especially when your monitor runs at 60 Hz. There is a lot of criticism for this card, which I totally understand. 4GB more VRAM and a 192 bit interface would have made this card a beast. And that is exactly the point why NVIDIA cut the specs for not interfering with their own products.
lmao speaking about future proof when you buy 3060 in 2024. by this logic 3060 is better than 3070 ti 8 gb. also you can’t run new games on max settings with 3060 and 4060 anyway so this 12 gb is pretty useless because you will forced to drop down your graphics settings. if you cared about future propf you would‘ve wait 4-6 more month till 5060 that is prob as good ad 4070 ti

@@TheNamesJT what hes saying is that you wont be able to use all the 12gb of vram on your 3060 in the future cuz high/ultra graphics wont be able to run on the 3060, meaning you will have to lower your graphics to low or medium which will reduce the usage of vram. for example Look at the new game that was released Black Myth: Wukong you can barley get 60+ Native 1080p on 4070 super on ultra settings now imagine trying to run a game like that on a 3060 you will get around 20to 30fps you will have to reduce your settings which will also reduce VRAM usage

@@sudanvijayaraghavan4688 go for 4060 its just a few dollar difference and so much lower watts. it will also give 10 to 20 fps more than 3060 in most games plus dlss is newer and better.
I would go with the 4060. I don't like having to make that many compromises that came with the 3060. The 4060 preformed well especially in the Alan Wake test I thought it showed better than expected. Liked and subbed.
I chose the 4060 simply because of the low heat and low power draw. It is absolutely paramount in sff build. People shit on frame gen, but it's an absolute dream in racing/sim games. But if you play mostly fps games, then it's dogshit.
80 degrees with 2713 rpm? i have question... i have rtx 4070 zotac twin edge with 2 ventus and i have 78/79 degrees on 100% use, rpm +- 2400 its ok? its so loud soo i dont know
Its better to use 100% than for it to overheat and damage components you would much rather run it at 100% and take a chance of the fans maybe breaking not a high chance but its quite cheap to fix
Same here.. I feel like my 1660s is finished now. But I'm really struggeling with choosing the best card. The 3060 have 12 vram so it will be more helpful in the future than 8 vram but the 4060 gives better performance with 8 vram. So I made my decision and I think I will wait for the 5060
I was surprised by this. If we put frame generation aside, I'm not sure why 4060 would still be performing 40% better in this selection of recent AAA games. The cynic in me says the game devs and nvidia driver devs have worked with each other to make certain optimisations only for the new gen, and perhaps excluded those optimisations from previous gen. This would be convenient as it shows off how much better the new gen is, which in turn creates more demand for them. The previous gen has 50% more ram, 50% wider memory bus, 16% more cuda cores, but 38% slower clock speed. Could it be that the latest AAA games just favour clockspeed above all else? But on another selection of games there are supposedly more like 10-15% difference in performance, so that makes me think it's something about these particular games that just likes the 4060 so much more. And the 4060 you chose was a cheap little one with a pathetic cooler, and it still beat the 3060 dramatically on your 3 test games.
This little 4060 performs the same as a bigger one would in these room temperature conditions. But this little cooler does begin to struggle if the room temperature gets above 23-25C. Fans starts running at 100% and GPU throttles🙂 You could be right about optimisations. NVIDIA certainly prioritises newer products. I don't know about game devs though, because their priority is to sell as many copies of their game as possible. And there are a lot of RTX 3060 users out there🙂 Many more than RTX 4060 users.
@@theivadim Just looking at more benchmarks from various places and yes it seems 4060 is about 25% faster across the board, which is consistent with your findings. I think it is most likely the faster clock speed giving the 4060 the advantage as that is the only hardware parameter where it significantly excels over 3060. I could be wrong, but a 38% faster clock is quite a lot, that has got to count for something. I just bought 3060 ventus 2x, waiting for it to arrive. I don't have buyer's remorse as I wanted it for win7 backwards compatibility, lower price, and I don't play AAA games just older PC games, emulators, and HTPC (MadVR)
The 8GB on both 4060 and 4060 Ti is really a shame. The 4060 Ti 16GB becomes a completely useable 60fps 1440p GPU just because of the extra VRAM because it can actually use FG effectively.
I wanted to get my hands on one of them 16GB 4060 Ti for a while. But it eludes me still. After seeing how 12GB didn't save the 3060 I can't stop wondering if the 16GB 4060 Ti may be similar to it - large VRAM but not enough compute power to take advantage of it properly.
@@theivadim I'm thinking of doing a sort of response to your 4060 Ti video on my channel with the 16GB version. In my testing of the card I believe the VRAM is more useful on the 4060 Ti vs the 3060 because of the 40 series features, I'm getting very good results at 1440p with DLSS + Frame Gen.
Because on 3060, only maxed out textures that we are gloried about although 3060 also have Frame Generation too (by mod of course) and it consumes VRAM too. For 4060 Ti, those VRAM would be much useful because of all the bells and whistles, RTX, Frame Generation and NVIDIA FG actually uses more VRAM than AMD. Nobody uses Ray Tracing on a 3060 I guess so that makes sense why 4060 Ti 16GB will literally save a 4060 Ti than 12GB on 3060.
@@MaximosTheGamer but what about the fact that the 3060 isn't powerful enough to even utilise that 12GB memory advantage? Higher graphics settings require more memory. But the 3060 can't play the latest games at higher settings. That's what I found out when testing these GPU for this video.

I have said in some other comments I made that I was not super happy with my RTX 4060 investment. That said, It is in my second rig and not primary. Also I forgot to mention that I do indeed think the RTX 4060 has a few things going for it. It's extremely power efficient, It's nice for upscaling thanks to DLSS and it does indeed have frame generation. Even if the VRAM kinda limits framegen in many cases. So far I have no issues doing 1440p with it in the modern games I have. Upscaling and textures a notch down and I have 60 fps +. It's not a bad card, but I think it should have been cheaper for what it is. But then again, graphics cards are kinda overpriced. Also, in this video it is very clear that the RTX 4060 is quite a bit better VS the 3060. Even though it's nice that the 3060 has 12GB VRAM, in many cases it doesn't have the GPU power to back up that VRAM.
Relying on frame generation quite a bit, not that it's a bad thing But I feel it's a bit biased So, in essence, a bit misleading. Don't get me wrong. I like the video. Keep up the good work.
You just sound like a paid agent for advertising nvidias 40 series. In most of these cases having 10 fps more doesnt matter because i guarantee it will drop below 60 often with the 4060 anyway and is much more prone to stuttering with 8gb vram. Not to mention the reduced bus width etc etc
The reduced buswidth is a non issue for 40series. Nvidia put in the work to make sure that they didn't have to give you the same buswidth to achieve the same performance.. this is because they didn't want to have to give you double the VRAM for a certain tier. This is why every teir has a lower memory bus. 40 series is designed to not need as many memory chips for a certain performance. Just look at 3090(12 memory channels) vs 4070ti(6 memory channels). But yeah. Vram amounts suck. Nvidia should have just kept all bus width the same per tier and just doubled the vram but it's Nvidia. They're cruel and evil and willing to fuck ignorant consumers for an extra buck.
@@christophermullins7163 I wouldnt call nvidia evil. Its the way the world works - companies want to profit. I blame the people (sheeple) who cant take like 2-3 days to research a bit before buying. Computer technology on the consumer level is really not complicated. But im just ranting now.
Hi Sir, I hope you can help me, I am planning to upgrade my pc bit by bit and would like to upgrade my GPU first. My current setup, i5 9400f, rx570, 16gb ram. I have a budget on getting the 4060 and my question is, will my PC still run? considering my CPU and motherboard is too old, im using gigabyte H310M H motherboard btw. I hope you can answer my question n thank you.
Good decision. Always upgrade the GPU first as it'll give you the biggest performance boost. It'll work OK. You can worry about upgrading other parts later.
Depends on the game though. In most games DLAA is basically 1 or 2 fps more intensive than TAA. Unlike in Cyberpunk for example, it could cost like 20 fps or more.
I appreciate the feedback and you watching my video.🤝 I'm still experimenting with this new format. But it's growing on me. So, I think I'll continue doing video FPV style🙂
So, in conclusion, in this video, 3060 has 12GB of ram, but 4060 runs smoother and with more fps. For future games like GTA 6, for example, (i know requirements are not yet available but judging by speculations) do you think that 4060 is worth more than 3060 or not?
It is impossible to predict something that is still years away. Don't expect GTA 6 to launch on PC so soon. As for the current games, game developers don't have another choice. They optimise 1080p experience with the 8GB RTX 4060 in mind because a lot of people have it and will keep buying it in the near future. So, if they want to sell their games then they must make sure that they run well on the 4060. What will happen in 2-5 years is anyones guess.
If i was buying a new one of course the 4060 and my old sli titans can play rdr2 better than my 3060 for some reason in that game.Elden ring and days gone are my newest games and i can play them on my sli titans but I prefer my other eco friendly 3060,And when winter comes we break out and OC with the titans to keep warm.Better than a 120w space heater.Litterally.
i bought a 3060 12gb recently and its fine ...... but with 9700kf cpu i probably shouldnt put anything higher even a 3060 is too much probably for this ancient of a cpu
Congrats Brother 🎉 I hope I will make a good decision soon. Basically what matters more is smooth media playback and Video editing performance ( with newer gen )
Choosing a preset is the absolute worst way to determine playable or desired FPS. Turning things like shadows down will always help out more than just adjusting a preset.
Hellsovers 2 is broken. Fps drops to 15-20 when theres a ton of enemies and explosions in 4 players online. Sad thing is the game is using a really old engine (bitsquid)
I think that both options suck. But I'd pick the RTX 4060 because it has a bit more life in it thanks to higher compute power. RTX 3060 struggles to deliver good FPS in the latest games already. It's not able to utilise that 12GB of memory because the GPU is not powerful enough to deliver high enough FPS at higher graphics presets. Unless you are prepared to tweak all settings individually for every game. Every time. But then you could also do that for the 4060. So, no matter how it's twisted the 4060 still comes out on top in my opinion.
@@theivadim Thanks for the reply, Do you think there are other GPU options right now, that are in this price range also, but better? Or this is it. We're stuck with this two :D
AMD is no better. Unfortunately, we're stuck with two crap choices in this price range. I'd pick the 4060 because at least you can have a good time with it today while the 3060 performance is lacking. If the price is the same or close then it's not even a competition imho.
@@theivadimYes also the 4060 gives you 20% better performance for half the power draw,better ray tracing more stable frametime,it also give frame generation ehich is really good for weaker cpu just for extra 20$morr
Yup Bro Best Is Try To Buy Or Push Limit For Rx 7900 Gre Or Else Rtx 4070 Super 😅 Or Else Play With Decent 1080 P Medium + Very High Settings In Rtx 4060 Or Rx 6700 Xt
They have other models that look very similar to this one but use other materials to bring the cost to under $100. But I don't have any experience with any of those. So, can't comment on their quality or value.🙂
in some games the 3060 is better in some games the 4060 is better it mostly depends if the game has DLSS if it doesn't it will probably have DLSS in the future
I have watched a lot of comparisons between 4060ti 8Gb and the normal 4060 8Gb. I felt that there is little difference and I am doing a quick review between the two balls
If you buy certain prebuilts from SIs you can get a good deal on a 4060. The computer I bought from Skytech dropped by 250 bucks. I basically got my 4060 $100 dollars cheaper than it goes for. Many sales are going on right now.
i am tired , bro , i want a video , where i can see , 3060 TI vs 4060 8GB , in rendering video editing how it is performing and also in gaming yes it is working out of the box 4060 is not match for 3060 TI , even though i am confuse about video editing , since 4060 price is higher than 3060 TI but 3060 still winning the game , so just wonder on what basis i should consider 4060 , !!

RTX 4060 is the most power-efficient card now, taking the place of RX 6600 in terms of frame per watt. I hope RTX 5060 will be more efficient at 75 watts and we will not need additional power cable.
we have gaming monitors that are 240mhz and up and they are offing us 60mhz aka 60fps video cards... look like ill be gaming on 320p resolution for the rest of my life to hit these frame rates i want to hit
Depends on the game. But in this case I wasn't increasing just texture quality. I was using presets. Presets include all settings. Sure, you could tinker with the graphics settings in all these games to find something more or less useful for the RTX 3060. But few people have time or even desire to do so. I always use presets. With very rare exceptions. And what's the point when you don't have to deal with such things if you choose the RTX 4060 instead.
@@theivadim Yeah, it is a hassle to check so much every time. But with my 1080 Ti for all those years I always just set textures to the highest and left it, one advantage of that ancient beast. 11GB is just now starting to be a problem once in a while but still rare especially if at 1080p.
Oh, and I just meant that the 12GB on the 3060 isn't useless if it allows you to set textures to the highest. All cards should be 12GB or more. I could be totally wrong anyways, but I've always heard that texture quality doesn't affect performance unless it goes over allocated gpu ram and has to swap.
Indeed, all cards should be at least 12GB in 2024. With that I absolutely agree🤝🙂 1080 Ti = epic card💪 I used it to game at 4K when it first came out. Oh how fast the progress is moving.
@@theivadim I mean it doesn't take much time or research to just go into settings and crank textures to max after selecting your ideal preset. For example in HZD FW you can just go with medium preset + max textures. Same thing in 1440p but using DLSS. I mean the 4060 will have trouble using its main feature, FG because FG eats up more vram. The real 4060 is the 4060ti but with 192bit bus + 12gb of vram. Had that been the case, it'd have beaten the 3070ti and not been far off the current 4070. Likely within 10-20% of it. Which makes the 4070 more akin to a glorified 4060ti. The 4060 is really just a glorified and OC'd 4050ti. And even at that it fails as it really should've been a 160bit 10gb card with a 75w and 100w version. The laptop 4050, if given a 128bit bus with 8gb of vram, would've been the real 4050 and it too should've had a 75w and 90w version.
Indeed, that is my take on it. The extra memory is useless if the GPU is not powerful enough to take advantage of it to run the latest games at 60+ FPS consistently.
@@theivadim I'm not sure we can say the GPU itself is not powerful enough to take advantage of 12GB. For all we know it could be the game which cannot, or does not, take advantage of it. What do you store in VRAM? What is VRAM for primarily? What does it help with? Rasterisation at higher resolutions? Keeping textures and assets in memory to avoid having to swap them to system RAM? Do you need a specific clockspeed to take advantage of VRAM? (clockspeed is 4060's main hardware advantage it seems). I'm asking because in other tests on other channel with Cyberpunk there were less microstutters on 3060 which youtuber attributed to higher VRAM -- 3060 was actively using 10GB and 4060 was using 6GB. But I have no idea if VRAM was the reason, for all I know it could just be a baseless claim. "Oh look, 3060 has more memory, and it's running better, so it must be the memory". Without knowing how the game engine works I don't know if that's true.
@@Animal_lives_matter That could be the case. However, what I care about in the first place is the experience a product delivers. There could be a multitude of reasons why a product's full potential is not being utilised. An average user simply want to buy a product that delivers a good experience. Not fight with these companies for fair practices or improving performance of the GPU they haven't even purchased yet. They'll simply buy a product that works well out of the box to enjoy games today. At least that's how I approach this matter when picking new products I'd like to buy.
@@theivadim Yep fair point. I think for the vast majority of people the 4060 is the obvious winner. The lower power consumption alone makes it preferable.

rtx3060 12gb vs rtx4060 when i got a bew pc prebuilt(why some ask...i cant build myself) The price on the parts n gpus was not extremly different but the prebuilt pc was about 500euro more expensive w a rtx4060 vs rtx3060ti or 12gb version so thats why i got a rtx3060 12gb and a huge fact was that people told me to get w 12gb so i dont need trouble like w old gtx1650 4gb gpu i had n gamed on before(horrible when the vram just aint enough) So was it stupid is what i still ask myself when i see that the rtx4060 has alot of more fps in almost all games(a few games that demands over 8gb vram that are peretty close w the older 30series gpu) 500 euro difference would it have been worth it in 2023/12/31 so about 6 months back now.. Also what will i need to save up to next time to be able to game in 1080p ultra settings w r.t on?? example rtx4070ti or super in a prebuilt w a ok cpu that works ok w the gpu will this be enough in about 12months or 18months even?? I know that the 50series rtx fpus are soon comming so the rtx5060 and rtx5070 how will they compare to todays higly used 1080p gaming cards(rtx3060/4060 and amds gpus) Will it(mayby)Be better to get a rtx5060 when it comes vs a rtx4070ti prebuilt pc...This is pretty hard to say before info has come about the hardware i guess?? Anyway 1080p max settings with Ray tracing at maximum what is n will be needed to run it for me in 1years time up to 18months(if we say 10-15% increase in games that will come vs whats needed today for same gameplay at maximum in 1080p) Hope u understand what i try to ask(dont know this stuff n dont really know where to look either to be 100% sure) Thanks 4 this great video alot of info
The RTX 4060 build for extra 500 Euros is absolutely not worth it. No way!🙅♂️ And as for the future, we'll have to wait and see what the RTX 50-series brings. NVIDIA has the potential to either pleasantly surprise us or horribly disappoint when it comes to RTX 5060/70 cards. No one knows yet how they'll configure those cards. Also, 5060/70 cards are still many many months away. 5090 and 5080 will launch first. If I wanted a low to mid-tier GPU now then I wouldn't wait until RTX 50-series. The wait is too long imho. Furthermore, I'd recommend looking into moving to a 1440p monitor. DLSS is so good now that you can enjoy games on a 1440p monitor and it'll be a more pleasant experience than 1080p. Thanks to DLSS I use the RTX 4070 SUPER to play games on a 4K monitor using DLSS Quality or Balanced. Good stuff.
The 4060ti 8GB is definitely better than the 4060, 3060ti, 3060-12 when it comes to 1080p. Let me remind you that DLSS3 is currently supported in 70+ games
Nvidia and more VRAM just dozen match. You either get AMD or get used to low VRAM on green cards. Surely 12GB won't save a 3060 but man those maxed out textures look sweet. 4060 ain't that bad except that lowered bus and VRAM wicis a shame and such a downgrade so much. If you already have a 3060, you shouldn't upgrade to a 4060 at all. May I call it a 4050 though? This is a disappointment on any 60 class cards ever. A 4070 is how a 4060 should have been. For a new buy I would grab a 4060 but in disgust because 8GB is like dead on arrival. Not even a few months and it already struggling than a 3060 on VRAM. I like how they said 8GB is not enough anymore but still released 8GB cards. If you can bear now, just wait for 5060 or something and see if they still rekt the new generation card. Otherwise just be happy with what you own and avoid hyping with newly broken releases I guess. 🙂
Everyone is talking about a lack of memory, and at the same time, most games take up 6-7 gigabytes even at a resolution of 1440p And where there are "beautiful textures", 3060/4060 - without dlss, they produce 30-40 frames per second and you still need to turn on dlss, which automatically reduces memory consumption. My opinion is that in the future, DLSS+FG, even with 8 GB, will be much more useful than AMD's +4GB.
@@Aleksey-vd9oc Lossless Scaling's upscaling and frame gen is decent enough for me and the fact that it can be used for any graphics card and any game including emulators like Switch and PS3 makes it better than Nvidia's DLSS and FG imo. I'm just glad it exists, saves me from needing to upgrade my 3060
I haven’t tried that. But logic tells me that newer GPU should have a better media engine for faster rendering and smoother timeline performance. Additionally, RTX 4060 supports AV1 codec.

If your purpose is just to play games, having 12GB of VRAM is too much for you. However, for video editing or rendering purposes, VRAM becomes crucial. Higher VRAM capacity can significantly impact rendering performance-the more, the better. But having 12GB VRAM on the RTX 3060 doesn't necessarily mean it outperforms the RTX 4060 8GB in rendering and video editing tasks. The RTX 4060, with its higher CUDA core count, can still excel despite its lower VRAM capacity. You'll only need higher VRAM if you're handling larger projects with extensive scenes and heavy textures.
In terms of future-proofing, a higher VRAM size can make your GPU more future-proof. The RTX 3060 12GB can be considered future-proof in terms of VRAM size. However, the RTX 4060 is also future-proof due to its newer architecture, which may offer better compatibility with newer software and longer support from NVIDIA compared to the RTX 3060.
Regarding power consumption, the RTX 4060 consumes less power than the RTX 3060 due to its newer architecture. If you live in a city with expensive energy costs, this difference in energy consumption should be a consideration.
I hope it helps...😉
It is actually. Looking at how frame generation working you will need more vram. Like this guy didn't use amd fsr 3.1 . If he did you will see why 12gb is just better and also future proof
as soon as you get into 1440p 8gb isnt enough. my 8gb 6650xt runs out of Vram in forza horizon 5 + jedi survivor max both on max settings 1080p

@@siddharthsahu7123 i would recommend 12gb or 16gb. 8GB is already too little for modern triple A games. I would recommend 12 or even 16 if that fits your budget.

As per your suggestion I believe rtx3060 12gb is more futureproof than a rtx 4060 8gb
This comparison is a tiny bit misleading, because you're relying on the game's graphical presets. I'm presently playing HFW on a slightly downvolted RTX 3060 12gb, at 1080p. By researching which specific graphical settings are actually worth raising, and which ones are just wasting resources, I can get a steady 70-75 FPS pretty much everywhere with absolutely gorgeous graphics. And as for those 12gb of VRAM, they allow you to play with higher resolution textures which makes a big difference in graphical detail. And besides gaming, those 12gb come in handy for tinkering with AI image generation software, like Stable Diffusion.
I can get nice rate with my Zotac even my Titan sli can play elden ring on max and textures high is what I am looking at,as long as I get 60fps I am happy.And almost feel like I did not need the 3060 but it uses less power.I have the X370 with R7 5700g sli titans and the B550m with the 3060 r7 3700x and the newest games I have is RDR2 ,Elden Ring and Days gone.Both Machines look and play great.Rather sacrifice lighting and some shaders than textures.
192bit bus, full x16 lanes, 12gb vram .... and by applying ultra textures ,+ mods 12gb vram will definitely come in handy. ofc it will provide less fps than 4060 in some latest titles but it will be smooth and stable and atleast no texture blurrs or stutters.... and even framge generation needs more vram hence 4060 is already struggling on vram hungry games.
the most + point of 4060 is its tdp and full av1 support. if 4060 had 12gb or 16gb vram then definitely it would be worthy but with 8gb vram and 128bit bus?! no
I have had a 4060 for 6 months and am reasonably happy - you can sense it's limits when pushing games at 1440p, but overall, as an entry level card this gen, it's decent. The energy consumption vs. performance delivered is a clear bonus. I will switch it out for a 4070 soon though, as I prefer gaming at 1440p and I think that would be better for my set-up. No regrets though and I will hold the card as a back up.
Why not 4070 SUPER? I have the SUPER and it's awesome. I think it's worth the small price difference. Here's my demo of how it performs when paired with the Ryzen 5 7600X - th-cam.com/video/s6XAbTdyfPo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nsPO7MNLcMXTS3W4

The RTX 4060 is a very good card for 1080p gaming. Especially when your monitor runs at 60 Hz.
There is a lot of criticism for this card, which I totally understand. 4GB more VRAM and a 192 bit interface would have made this card a beast. And that is exactly the point why NVIDIA cut the specs for not interfering with their own products.
I went with the 3060 12gb since vram is super immportant for future proofing. Since newer games are using more and more vram.

lmao speaking about future proof when you buy 3060 in 2024. by this logic 3060 is better than 3070 ti 8 gb. also you can’t run new games on max settings with 3060 and 4060 anyway so this 12 gb is pretty useless because you will forced to drop down your graphics settings. if you cared about future propf you would‘ve wait 4-6 more month till 5060 that is prob as good ad 4070 ti

Same here.. I feel like my 1660s is finished now. But I'm really struggeling with choosing the best card.
The 3060 have 12 vram so it will be more helpful in the future than 8 vram but the 4060 gives better performance with 8 vram.
So I made my decision and I think I will wait for the 5060
I was surprised by this. If we put frame generation aside, I'm not sure why 4060 would still be performing 40% better in this selection of recent AAA games. The cynic in me says the game devs and nvidia driver devs have worked with each other to make certain optimisations only for the new gen, and perhaps excluded those optimisations from previous gen. This would be convenient as it shows off how much better the new gen is, which in turn creates more demand for them. The previous gen has 50% more ram, 50% wider memory bus, 16% more cuda cores, but 38% slower clock speed. Could it be that the latest AAA games just favour clockspeed above all else? But on another selection of games there are supposedly more like 10-15% difference in performance, so that makes me think it's something about these particular games that just likes the 4060 so much more. And the 4060 you chose was a cheap little one with a pathetic cooler, and it still beat the 3060 dramatically on your 3 test games.
This little 4060 performs the same as a bigger one would in these room temperature conditions. But this little cooler does begin to struggle if the room temperature gets above 23-25C. Fans starts running at 100% and GPU throttles🙂
You could be right about optimisations. NVIDIA certainly prioritises newer products. I don't know about game devs though, because their priority is to sell as many copies of their game as possible. And there are a lot of RTX 3060 users out there🙂 Many more than RTX 4060 users.
@@theivadim
Just looking at more benchmarks from various places and yes it seems 4060 is about 25% faster across the board, which is consistent with your findings.
I think it is most likely the faster clock speed giving the 4060 the advantage as that is the only hardware parameter where it significantly excels over 3060. I could be wrong, but a 38% faster clock is quite a lot, that has got to count for something.
I just bought 3060 ventus 2x, waiting for it to arrive. I don't have buyer's remorse as I wanted it for win7 backwards compatibility, lower price, and I don't play AAA games just older PC games, emulators, and HTPC (MadVR)
The 8GB on both 4060 and 4060 Ti is really a shame. The 4060 Ti 16GB becomes a completely useable 60fps 1440p GPU just because of the extra VRAM because it can actually use FG effectively.
I mean I buy the normal rtx 4060 8gb
I wanted to get my hands on one of them 16GB 4060 Ti for a while. But it eludes me still. After seeing how 12GB didn't save the 3060 I can't stop wondering if the 16GB 4060 Ti may be similar to it - large VRAM but not enough compute power to take advantage of it properly.
@@theivadim I'm thinking of doing a sort of response to your 4060 Ti video on my channel with the 16GB version. In my testing of the card I believe the VRAM is more useful on the 4060 Ti vs the 3060 because of the 40 series features, I'm getting very good results at 1440p with DLSS + Frame Gen.

Because on 3060, only maxed out textures that we are gloried about although 3060 also have Frame Generation too (by mod of course) and it consumes VRAM too.

I have said in some other comments I made that I was not super happy with my RTX 4060 investment. That said, It is in my second rig and not primary. Also I forgot to mention that I do indeed think the RTX 4060 has a few things going for it. It's extremely power efficient, It's nice for upscaling thanks to DLSS and it does indeed have frame generation. Even if the VRAM kinda limits framegen in many cases. So far I have no issues doing 1440p with it in the modern games I have. Upscaling and textures a notch down and I have 60 fps +. It's not a bad card, but I think it should have been cheaper for what it is. But then again, graphics cards are kinda overpriced. Also, in this video it is very clear that the RTX 4060 is quite a bit better VS the 3060. Even though it's nice that the 3060 has 12GB VRAM, in many cases it doesn't have the GPU power to back up that VRAM.
Relying on frame generation quite a bit, not that it's a bad thing But I feel it's a bit biased So, in essence, a bit misleading. Don't get me wrong. I like the video. Keep up the good work.
You just sound like a paid agent for advertising nvidias 40 series. In most of these cases having 10 fps more doesnt matter because i guarantee it will drop below 60 often with the 4060 anyway and is much more prone to stuttering with 8gb vram. Not to mention the reduced bus width etc etc
The reduced buswidth is a non issue for 40series. Nvidia put in the work to make sure that they didn't have to give you the same buswidth to achieve the same performance.. this is because they didn't want to have to give you double the VRAM for a certain tier. This is why every teir has a lower memory bus. 40 series is designed to not need as many memory chips for a certain performance. Just look at 3090(12 memory channels) vs 4070ti(6 memory channels).
But yeah. Vram amounts suck. Nvidia should have just kept all bus width the same per tier and just doubled the vram but it's Nvidia. They're cruel and evil and willing to fuck ignorant consumers for an extra buck.

I was 1050ti then i upgraded to 4060 and oh boy 115watts is insane
4060... obviously the latest GPU will play the latest games better...

DLAA is whats eating those fps man.
Depends on the game though. In most games DLAA is basically 1 or 2 fps more intensive than TAA. Unlike in Cyberpunk for example, it could cost like 20 fps or more.
Indeed. In Horizon DLAA and TAA performance is very similar. DLAA looks better in my opinion.
i dig the 1st person POV
I appreciate the feedback and you watching my video.🤝 I'm still experimenting with this new format. But it's growing on me. So, I think I'll continue doing video FPV style🙂
So, in conclusion, in this video, 3060 has 12GB of ram, but 4060 runs smoother and with more fps. For future games like GTA 6, for example, (i know requirements are not yet available but judging by speculations) do you think that 4060 is worth more than 3060 or not?
It is impossible to predict something that is still years away. Don't expect GTA 6 to launch on PC so soon. As for the current games, game developers don't have another choice. They optimise 1080p experience with the 8GB RTX 4060 in mind because a lot of people have it and will keep buying it in the near future. So, if they want to sell their games then they must make sure that they run well on the 4060. What will happen in 2-5 years is anyones guess.
If i was buying a new one of course the 4060 and my old sli titans can play rdr2 better than my 3060 for some reason in that game.Elden ring and days gone are my newest games and i can play them on my sli titans but I prefer my other eco friendly 3060,And when winter comes we break out and OC with the titans to keep warm.Better than a 120w space heater.Litterally.
i bought a 3060 12gb recently and its fine ...... but with 9700kf cpu i probably shouldnt put anything higher even a 3060 is too much probably for this ancient of a cpu
hi, between 12gb and ti of 3060, which one better for 3d works pretty heavy? thanks. i don't care about gaming.
You're asking the wrong person🙂 I test gaming only.
I'll take RX 6750 XT for $320, Alex! (RIP)
You could pay a bit less
thank you bro I can finally decide now I was so confused what to pick 🙏🙏🙏
Glad I could help
What did you choose??
@@skanderdhraief-mn7ny the rtx 4060 just bought it a few days ago
Congrats Brother 🎉 I hope I will make a good decision soon. Basically what matters more is smooth media playback and Video editing performance ( with newer gen )
But VRam in 3060 is attractive
Choosing a preset is the absolute worst way to determine playable or desired FPS. Turning things like shadows down will always help out more than just adjusting a preset.
Actually presets are good way to benchmark against other cards because it keeps everything on an even playing field.
Av got the gtx 1070ti seems yo preform like the 3060 I get between 70 and 60 GPS on helldivers
Hellsovers 2 is broken. Fps drops to 15-20 when theres a ton of enemies and explosions in 4 players online. Sad thing is the game is using a really old engine (bitsquid)
Would you say at the long run, getting 4060 is better than 3060? My only concern is not having 12gb of VRAM. But than again, less fps... Idk.
I think that both options suck. But I'd pick the RTX 4060 because it has a bit more life in it thanks to higher compute power. RTX 3060 struggles to deliver good FPS in the latest games already. It's not able to utilise that 12GB of memory because the GPU is not powerful enough to deliver high enough FPS at higher graphics presets. Unless you are prepared to tweak all settings individually for every game. Every time. But then you could also do that for the 4060. So, no matter how it's twisted the 4060 still comes out on top in my opinion.
@@theivadim Thanks for the reply, Do you think there are other GPU options right now, that are in this price range also, but better? Or this is it. We're stuck with this two :D
AMD is no better. Unfortunately, we're stuck with two crap choices in this price range. I'd pick the 4060 because at least you can have a good time with it today while the 3060 performance is lacking. If the price is the same or close then it's not even a competition imho.
if u want more fps get an AMD card cause they are better at that tho at the cost of a weaker upscaling and less freq updates
@@theivadimYes also the 4060 gives you 20% better performance for half the power draw,better ray tracing more stable frametime,it also give frame generation ehich is really good for weaker cpu just for extra 20$morr
Having more FPS with Frame Generation doesn't mean smooth experience , FG is kinda fake.
I have rx 6600 mech 2, should I upgrade to RTX 3060 12gb or RTX 4060?
No it's not a big upgrade
I really like the 100watts of 4060 to me. just incase can anyone give me better 100watts GPU better than 4060 or it's already the best?
Yup Bro Best Is Try To Buy Or Push Limit For Rx 7900 Gre Or Else Rtx 4070 Super 😅
Or Else Play With Decent 1080 P Medium + Very High Settings In Rtx 4060 Or Rx 6700 Xt

They have other models that look very similar to this one but use other materials to bring the cost to under $100. But I don't have any experience with any of those. So, can't comment on their quality or value.🙂
in some games the 3060 is better in some games the 4060 is better it mostly depends if the game has DLSS if it doesn't it will probably have DLSS in the future
What games are those? In my experience, the 4060 is significantly better across the board.

does 4060 good on R7 5700x3d?
I haven't tried. But my educated guess would be - yes. It's a good combo.
I have watched a lot of comparisons between 4060ti 8Gb and the normal 4060 8Gb. I felt that there is little difference and I am doing a quick review between the two balls
with amd you get more performance for less money, for anyone who is looking to buy a new gpu consider amd
Is it possible in 3 or 4 months that the prices of the rtx 4060 will fall
Not to the point where it would be A LOT cheaper than it is now. From what I've seen, its price fluctuates +/- $20 or so.

If you buy certain prebuilts from SIs you can get a good deal on a 4060. The computer I bought from Skytech dropped by 250 bucks. I basically got my 4060 $100 dollars cheaper than it goes for. Many sales are going on right now.
i am tired , bro , i want a video , where i can see , 3060 TI vs 4060 8GB , in rendering video editing how it is performing and also in gaming yes it is working out of the box 4060 is not match for 3060 TI , even though i am confuse about video editing , since 4060 price is higher than 3060 TI but 3060 still winning the game ,
so just wonder on what basis i should consider 4060 , !! Ti version is expensive for the 4060 , and DLSS i dont like it , is fake animation scaling frame will not give the actual game satisfaction so i dont like it !
is 4060 a good choice for the Ryzen 5 3600?

RTX 4060 is the most power-efficient card now, taking the place of RX 6600 in terms of frame per watt. I hope RTX 5060 will be more efficient at 75 watts and we will not need additional power cable.
Fuck that. Let RTX 5060 eat at least 170W and give it great performance jump.
we have gaming monitors that are 240mhz and up and they are offing us 60mhz aka 60fps video cards... look like ill be gaming on 320p resolution for the rest of my life to hit these frame rates i want to hit
They want us to game on Low graphics settings😅
Keeping it honest so people don't get misguided by wrong information.Love to see
I thought that higher texture settings come with almost no fps cost as long as gpu memory was sufficient in most games.
Depends on the game. But in this case I wasn't increasing just texture quality. I was using presets. Presets include all settings. Sure, you could tinker with the graphics settings in all these games to find something more or less useful for the RTX 3060. But few people have time or even desire to do so. I always use presets. With very rare exceptions. And what's the point when you don't have to deal with such things if you choose the RTX 4060 instead.
@@theivadim Yeah, it is a hassle to check so much every time. But with my 1080 Ti for all those years I always just set textures to the highest and left it, one advantage of that ancient beast. 11GB is just now starting to be a problem once in a while but still rare especially if at 1080p.
Oh, and I just meant that the 12GB on the 3060 isn't useless if it allows you to set textures to the highest. All cards should be 12GB or more. I could be totally wrong anyways, but I've always heard that texture quality doesn't affect performance unless it goes over allocated gpu ram and has to swap.
Indeed, all cards should be at least 12GB in 2024. With that I absolutely agree🤝🙂 1080 Ti = epic card💪 I used it to game at 4K when it first came out. Oh how fast the progress is moving.
@@theivadim I mean it doesn't take much time or research to just go into settings and crank textures to max after selecting your ideal preset. For example in HZD FW you can just go with medium preset + max textures. Same thing in 1440p but using DLSS.
I mean the 4060 will have trouble using its main feature, FG because FG eats up more vram. The real 4060 is the 4060ti but with 192bit bus + 12gb of vram. Had that been the case, it'd have beaten the 3070ti and not been far off the current 4070. Likely within 10-20% of it. Which makes the 4070 more akin to a glorified 4060ti.
The 4060 is really just a glorified and OC'd 4050ti. And even at that it fails as it really should've been a 160bit 10gb card with a 75w and 100w version. The laptop 4050, if given a 128bit bus with 8gb of vram, would've been the real 4050 and it too should've had a 75w and 90w version.
Buy neither! Get a RX 7700 xt it crushes even rtx 4070
So the additional 4GB in RTX3060 not that much worth it compared to RTX 4060 ?
Indeed, that is my take on it. The extra memory is useless if the GPU is not powerful enough to take advantage of it to run the latest games at 60+ FPS consistently.
@@theivadim u do not need 60+ fps on a SP game
@@theivadim
I'm not sure we can say the GPU itself is not powerful enough to take advantage of 12GB. For all we know it could be the game which cannot, or does not, take advantage of it. What do you store in VRAM? What is VRAM for primarily? What does it help with? Rasterisation at higher resolutions? Keeping textures and assets in memory to avoid having to swap them to system RAM? Do you need a specific clockspeed to take advantage of VRAM? (clockspeed is 4060's main hardware advantage it seems). I'm asking because in other tests on other channel with Cyberpunk there were less microstutters on 3060 which youtuber attributed to higher VRAM -- 3060 was actively using 10GB and 4060 was using 6GB. But I have no idea if VRAM was the reason, for all I know it could just be a baseless claim. "Oh look, 3060 has more memory, and it's running better, so it must be the memory". Without knowing how the game engine works I don't know if that's true.
@@Animal_lives_matter That could be the case. However, what I care about in the first place is the experience a product delivers. There could be a multitude of reasons why a product's full potential is not being utilised. An average user simply want to buy a product that delivers a good experience. Not fight with these companies for fair practices or improving performance of the GPU they haven't even purchased yet. They'll simply buy a product that works well out of the box to enjoy games today. At least that's how I approach this matter when picking new products I'd like to buy.
@@theivadim
Yep fair point. I think for the vast majority of people the 4060 is the obvious winner. The lower power consumption alone makes it preferable.

The price on the parts n gpus was not extremly different but the prebuilt pc was about 500euro more expensive w a rtx4060 vs rtx3060ti or 12gb version so thats why i got a rtx3060 12gb and a huge fact was that people told me to get w 12gb so i dont need trouble like w old gtx1650 4gb gpu i had n gamed on before(horrible when the vram just aint enough)
So was it stupid is what i still ask myself when i see that the rtx4060 has alot of more fps in almost all games(a few games that demands over 8gb vram that are peretty close w the older 30series gpu)
500 euro difference would it have been worth it in 2023/12/31 so about 6 months back now..
Also what will i need to save up to next time to be able to game in 1080p ultra settings w r.t on??
example rtx4070ti or super in a prebuilt w a ok cpu that works ok w the gpu will this be enough in about 12months or 18months even??
I know that the 50series rtx fpus are soon comming so the rtx5060 and rtx5070 how will they compare to todays higly used 1080p gaming cards(rtx3060/4060 and amds gpus)
Will it(mayby)Be better to get a rtx5060 when it comes vs a rtx4070ti prebuilt pc...This is pretty hard to say before info has come about the hardware i guess??
Anyway 1080p max settings with Ray tracing at maximum what is n will be needed to run it for me in 1years time up to 18months(if we say 10-15% increase in games that will come vs whats needed today for same gameplay at maximum in 1080p)
Hope u understand what i try to ask(dont know this stuff n dont really know where to look either to be 100% sure)
Thanks 4 this great video alot of info
The RTX 4060 build for extra 500 Euros is absolutely not worth it. No way!🙅♂️ And as for the future, we'll have to wait and see what the RTX 50-series brings. NVIDIA has the potential to either pleasantly surprise us or horribly disappoint when it comes to RTX 5060/70 cards. No one knows yet how they'll configure those cards. Also, 5060/70 cards are still many many months away. 5090 and 5080 will launch first. If I wanted a low to mid-tier GPU now then I wouldn't wait until RTX 50-series. The wait is too long imho.
Furthermore, I'd recommend looking into moving to a 1440p monitor. DLSS is so good now that you can enjoy games on a 1440p monitor and it'll be a more pleasant experience than 1080p. Thanks to DLSS I use the RTX 4070 SUPER to play games on a 4K monitor using DLSS Quality or Balanced. Good stuff.

Nvidia and more VRAM just dozen match. You either get AMD or get used to low VRAM on green cards. Surely 12GB won't save a 3060 but man those maxed out textures look sweet. 4060 ain't that bad except that lowered bus and VRAM wicis a shame and such a downgrade so much. If you already have a 3060, you shouldn't upgrade to a 4060 at all. May I call it a 4050 though? This is a disappointment on any 60 class cards ever. A 4070 is how a 4060 should have been. For a new buy I would grab a 4060 but in disgust because 8GB is like dead on arrival. Not even a few months and it already struggling than a 3060 on VRAM. I like how they said 8GB is not enough anymore but still released 8GB cards. If you can bear now, just wait for 5060 or something and see if they still rekt the new generation card. Otherwise just be happy with what you own and avoid hyping with newly broken releases I guess. 🙂
Everyone is talking about a lack of memory, and at the same time, most games take up 6-7 gigabytes even at a resolution of 1440p
And where there are "beautiful textures", 3060/4060 - without dlss, they produce 30-40 frames per second and you still need to turn on dlss, which automatically reduces memory consumption.
My opinion is that in the future, DLSS+FG, even with 8 GB, will be much more useful than AMD's +4GB.
@@Aleksey-vd9oc Lossless Scaling's upscaling and frame gen is decent enough for me and the fact that it can be used for any graphics card and any game including emulators like Switch and PS3 makes it better than Nvidia's DLSS and FG imo.

RTX 3060 doesn’t have the horsepower to utilize its 12GB of VRAM anyway. So 4060 is better with 8GB of VRAM. Easy decision.

Wrong, increasing texture quality the best way to increase graphic fidelity, and for upcoming games you will need more than 8gb vram.
