Introduction

Galax GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EX White is a custom-design rendition of NVIDIA’s latest RTX 40-series graphics card. Featuring a premium design that makes the card look like it’s from a segment above, the card covers all the bases for design, including an all-white exterior, with a white cooler shroud and backplate. The PCB is much smaller than the cooler, so it’s out of sight. Two large fans ventilate an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that stretches the entire 25 cm length of the card. These fans, along with an illuminated GeForce RTX logo, complete its lighting and illumination.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is designed for maxed out AAA gaming at 1080p, although 1440p gaming should be possible if you know your way around your game settings, or let GeForce Experience pick the best settings, or better yet, use features such as DLSS. Since the RTX 4060 Ti is based on the latest Ada Lovelace graphics architecture, you even get DLSS 3 frame generation, a path breaking enhancement that generates entire alternate frames of your game purely using AI, without involving the main graphics rendering machinery, nearly doubling your framerate. Besides DLSS 3, you benefit from the NVIDIA’s elaborate power optimization for this generation, taking advantage of the 5 nm foundry node.

Based on the AD106 silicon that it nearly maxes out, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti features 34 out of 36 streaming multiprocessors physically present, which work out to 4,352 CUDA cores, 136 Tensor cores, 34 RT cores, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The card gets 8 GB of memory as standard, and while it uses the generationally faster 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory, its memory bus width is halved compared to that of the RTX 3060 Ti. NVIDIA has re-architected the memory sub-system with Ada, with large on-die caches on the GPU that minimize round-trips to the video memory by 40-60%, thereby letting NVIDIA simplify the PCB design with fewer memory chips across a narrower memory interface.

The Galax RTX 4060 Ti EX White is strictly 2 slots thick, and is 25 cm in length, so it should enjoy wide compatibility with most cases. The card comes with factory overclocked speeds of 2640 MHz boost, compared to 2535 MHz reference. The card draws power from a single 8-pin power connector. As we mentioned, the cooler is much larger than the PCB underneath, so almost the entire airflow of the second fan flows through the heatsink and out large openings in the backplate. Galax is pricing the RTX 4060 Ti at NVIDIA’s MSRP of $400.
