Asus Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC desktop graphics card review: A compact and frugal GPU for Full HD gaming

Asus has provided us with its Asus Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC to try out. This model, fitted with only 8 GB VRAM, is one of Asus' more affordable graphics cards. At the time of testing, you can find the component for around US$400 if you are looking for the one from Asus. The considerably larger TUF model made by the same manufacturer can be had for around US$50 more.

Due to the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti's low power consumption, which is limited to 160 watts, it shouldn't be hard to keep the graphics card in check. Even so, its built-in cooler can't completely avoid criticism. But more on that later. The Asus Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC's compact build is great as it only measures around 23 centimetres in length. This is quite a bit smaller than the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EX.

Nvidia's VRAM politics should be taken with a grain of salt. During the tests of the onboard partners MSI and KFA2, we already saw that the graphics card can deliver what it is made for. Furthermore, Nvidia has expanded the GPU's L2 cache considerably, meaning less data has to be transferred via the PCIe slot. This compensates for the lower memory bandwidth compared to an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti

When it comes to external ports, you will have to continue to make do with the usual standards. In other words, the component features 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Currently, only AMD RDNA3 GPUs have DisplayPort 2.1.
