Introduction

The ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Dual OC is the company’s most affordable custom design RTX 4060, priced bang on the NVIDIA MSRP of $300. ASUS is looking to pamper gamers shopping for an RTX 4060 at these prices, with a product design and features you’d normally find in premium custom-design cards priced above MSRP. The new RTX 4060 by NVIDIA succeeds a long line of extremely popular mainstream GPUs by NVIDIA, including the RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and GTX 1060, which dominate the Steam Hardware Survey charts for user base. The same survey also suggests that over two-thirds of PC gamers still play at 1080p resolution, and so NVIDIA would want to sell these games a cutting-edge new graphics card at $300 that scores big on features and efficiency.

The GeForce RTX 4060 is based on the latest Ada Lovelace graphics architecture, which has two strengths going for it that would make you consider the new card over older generation cards selling for discounts. First, since it’s based on Ada, the RTX 4060 gets DLSS 3, a swanky new feature that nearly doubles frame-rates at no image quality loss, by using AI to draw alternate frames, without involving the graphics rendering machinery. NVIDIA claims that DLSS 3 is easy to integrate with existing game engines, and its adoption is on the rise. The second big thing the RTX 4060 has going for it is energy efficiency. Not only is the RTX 4060 built on the new 5 nm EUV foundry process, but also NVIDIA’s smallest silicon for this generation, the AD107, which it maxes out.

The RTX 4060 enables all 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM) present on the AD107, which works out to 3,072 CUDA cores, 96 Tensor cores, 24 RT cores, and 96 TMUs. The chip features 48 ROPs, and a memory interface that’s similar to that of the AD106 powering the RTX 4060 Ti—you get 8 GB of 17 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit memory interface. Both the memory bus width and memory size have been generationally reduced compared to the RTX 3060 by 50%, but NVIDIA claims that its re-designed memory sub-system that relies on large last-level caches on the silicon, help them reduce the round-trips to the video memory. It may be the smallest Ada silicon, but the AD107 packs 50% more transistors than the GA106 powering the RTX 3060.

The ASUS RTX 4060 Dual OC is an attempt at offering customers the best MSRP-priced RTX 4060 graphics card. The card looks visually appealing for its price-segment, and packs a handful of features rivaling premium custom-design cards. To begin with, it offers factory-overclocked speeds of 2505 MHz boost compared to 2460 MHz reference. Next up, the card offers a segment-exclusive dual-BIOS, letting you toggle between the P-BIOS with these overclocked speeds, and an alternative BIOS that prioritizes low cooler noise at reference speeds.
