Can the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti finally perform like an RTX 3070 Ti?

From Chiphell’s Chinese forum, the first performance tests of the probably GeForce RTX 4060 Ti based on the graphics chip NVIDIA AD106 complete. We assume that it is this GPU because, theoretically, only the RTX 4060 Ti will arrive in the coming weeks. The ‘non-Ti’ GeForce RTX 4060 is expected to arrive sometime in the third quarter of this year. Yes, here we are seeing the complete graphics chipso if it really is the RTX 4060 Ti, it would have seen its specs bumped up.

Specifically, we have numerous performance tests, although all of them are limited to several performance tests with the benchmark 3DMark and, curiously, at AIDA64. These performance tests bring good news, and that is that its performance would finally be better than expected. If it really is the RTX 4060 Ti, Sure.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti could face off against the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, at best

It must be remembered that in mid-January, the well-known leaker ‘kopite7kimi’ indicated that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti would have performance comparable to the GeForce RTX 3070. Now, these data improve, and it is that the benchmarks reveal that it is really comparable to its vitaminized variant, the RTX 3070Ti. At least if NVIDIA finally uses the entire graphics chip.

Using this new silicon means going from the original 4,352 CUDA Cores to a small upgrade of 4,608 CUDA Cores. Of course, it keeps the 8GB of VRAM GDDR6 together with an interface of 128 bit.

Thanks to AIDA64, we know that this GPU achieves FP64 performance of 26 TFLOPS. This is 13% more than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. That is also thanks to an increase in frequencies. These would reach the 2.80GHz, thus being the RTX 40 chip that reaches the highest frequencies. These high frequencies rule out that it is an option for laptops.

Of course, off paper, in reliable evidence like 3DMarkspecifically we know that, depending on the tests, it can be up to 10% slower than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, or up to 3% faster in the best case. Obviously, thanks to the improvements of a new architectural generation, in terms of ray tracing testsperformance improvement is up to 25%.

The great improvement reaches the level of energy consumption

New architecture and, even more important, manufacturing process of TSMC in front of Samsung Foundry. The actual energy consumption becomes up to 180W. This represents 27% less compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Compared to its predecessor, this one has a TGP of 200W.

This GPU is designed to enjoy 1080p games at maximum quality with a high framerate, or 1440p smoothly. Obviously, you can achieve 1440p or 4K with high frame rate, taking advantage of upscaling technology. NVIDIA DLSS 3, which promises to almost triple performance in a wide variety of games. Among them, Cyberpunk 2077, which was updated this week to include such technology.

Of course, it will be time to see if finally the RTX 4060 Ti will use this chip, not to mention the price at which it will finally arrive. This will be decisive, and even more if it arrives performing like an RTX 3070 or RTX 3070 Ti with the only plus of offering a more modern version of DLSS and better Ray Tracing performance.
