Time flies by quickly, it’s already been six months since we tested the first Ada Lovelace graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4090, and now, NVIDIA has launched the fifth entry in its ever-expanding desktop lineup, the RTX 4060 Ti.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the first Ada graphics card to hit retail under the $500 US price tag. With a starting price of just $399 US, the graphics card is going to be a popular seller within the mainstream market segment.
While we will be talking about the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti in this review, we will also be taking a look at how it offers faster shader performance, faster ray tracing performance, & faster AI compute performance. Built on a brand new process node and featuring an architecture designed from the ground up, Ada is a killer product with lots of numbers to talk about.
Today, we will be taking a look at the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. We will be looking at both Founders Edition and custom models.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Gaming Graphics Cards
Turing wasn’t just any graphics core, it was the graphics core that was to become the foundation of future GPUs. The future is realized now with next-generation consoles going deep in talks about ray tracing and AI-assisted super-sampling techniques. NVIDIA had a head start with Turing & Ampere and its Ada generation will only do things infinitely times better.
The Ada GPU does many traditional things which we would expect from a GPU, but at the same time, also breaks the barrier when it comes to untraditional GPU operations. Just to sum up some features:
- New Streaming Multiprocessor (SM)
- New Turing Tensor Cores
- New Real-Time Ray Tracing Acceleration
- New Shading Enhancements
- New Deep Learning Features For Graphics & Inference
- New GDDR6X High-Performance Memory Subsystem
- New HDMI 2.1 Display Engine & Next-Gen NVENC/NVDEC
The technologies mentioned above are some of the main building blocks of the Ada GPU, but there’s more within the graphics core itself which we will talk about in detail so let’s get started.
