NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB

The same chip as the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB with twice the memory on the same 128-bit bus, at a $100 higher launch price. It helps in the games and settings where 8 GB runs out and does nothing where it does not, so its value depends on whether memory is what holds the cheaper card back.

Where to buy

$499MSRP

Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.

This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

Should you buy it?

Niche recommendation

This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.

Best for

1440p gaming at 60+ FPS

Why

  • Estimated performance index of 28 at 1440p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
  • 16 GB of memory is comfortable for 1440p, so texture settings stay out of the conversation.
  • Supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
  • At 1440p the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is 3.4% slower than the RTX 5060 for about the same money, which makes it the weaker buy of the two on price alone. Based on launch MSRP.

Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.

Watch out for

This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.

Consider instead
  • Arc B570 if you want more performance for the money. It returns 6.2 index points per $100 against 5.6.

CompareYourGPU estimate

Performance indices are aggregated from public review coverage, not measured by CompareYourGPU. Frame-rate ranges are modelled from those indices. How this is calculated.

How the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB compares at 1440p against the cards closest to it.

CompareYourGPU estimate. 100 = the fastest card tracked.

Ray tracing performance at 1440p, RTX 4060 Ti 16GB against the same peer group.

CompareYourGPU estimate. Ray-traced performance does not track rasterisation performance, which is why it is charted separately.

Measured

Gaming benchmarks

Frame-rate figures transcribed from named third-party measurements, grouped so that two different test methodologies are never mixed in one table.

No measured frame-rate data is recorded for the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB yet, so the performance figures on this page are CompareYourGPU's labelled estimates. How benchmark data is handled.

In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features

What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.

Supported. This card uses 3rd-generation RT cores.

DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.

DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.

Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 1x 8th-generation NVENC. 5th-generation NVDEC.

Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits

CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.

Strengths

  • 16 GB of memory, double the 8 GB version
  • Low 165 W board power
  • DLSS 3 Frame Generation and AV1 encode and decode

Weaknesses

  • Launched $100 above the 8 GB card for similar speed in most games
  • The 128-bit bus limits how much of the extra memory the chip can use
  • Discontinued, with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB as its direct successor

Best for

  • Games that exceed 8 GB at 1080p and 1440p
  • Creative work that needs more video memory

Not ideal for

  • Buyers who can stretch to an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB or RX 9060 XT 16GB
  • Anyone who only plays lighter games

Price, value and efficiency

What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.

$499MSRP

Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.

ExpensiveFair price for this performance: $396

Good buy below $364 · expensive above $444

The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.

Performance per dollar

5.6

Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.

That places it in the upper half of the database on value.

Performance per watt

17.0

Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.

That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.

RTX 4060 Ti 16GB frequently asked questions

Is the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 80-115 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 50-75 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 25-35 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 16 GB gives real headroom at 4K, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
How much VRAM does the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB have?
The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, giving 288 GB/s of bandwidth. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
What power supply does the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB need?
NVIDIA recommends a 550 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, which draws 165 W of board power. It uses 1x 16-pin (12VHPWR).
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
How much does the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB cost?
It launched at $499 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price on record for this card, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 6700 XT at $479. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is about 3% behind, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
