Introduction

MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X is the company’s most affordable custom-design rendition of NVIDIA’s latest mid-range graphics card. The new GeForce RTX 4060 is designed for 1080p gaming with maxed out settings. Positioned a notch below the recently-launched RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, the new RTX 4060 is designed to succeed a long line of successful graphics cards, including the RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and GTX 1060. Arriving at $300, the RTX 4060 is the latest and most affordable graphics card model from the RTX 40-series Ada.

The GeForce RTX 4060 is very much a new-generation graphics card, based on the latest Ada Lovelace graphics architecture. This means that you get the path-breaking DLSS 3 Frame Generation feature. DLSS 3 uses AI to generate alternate frames without involving much of the graphics rendering machinery, and this results in nearly double the frame-rates. The Ada Lovelace architecture debuts the latest generation CUDA cores with higher IPC and clock speeds than those of Ampere; new 3rd generation RT cores, with even higher ray intersection performance, and 4th generation Tensor cores. The biggest ace up its sleeve is the shift to the 5 nm foundry node, with NVIDIA claiming typical power draw for the RTX 4060 of just 115 W, a 35% reduction over that of the RTX 3060.

Unlike the RTX 3060, which was based on the second-smallest GA106 silicon for that generation; the new RTX 4060 is based on the smallest chip for this generation, the 5 nm AD107, which it maxes out. This tiny GPU packs 3,072 CUDA cores across 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM), along with 96 Tensor cores, 24 RT cores, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The memory sub-system is similar to that of the RTX 4060 Ti. You get 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit memory interface, but with a memory speed of 17 Gbps, compared to 18 Gbps on the RTX 4060 Ti. NVIDIA has generationally reduced the memory size and bus width by 50% for the RTX 4060, compared to the original RTX 3060. With Ada, NVIDIA reworked the memory sub-system with greater dependence on large caches on the GPU that the company claims reduces round-trips to the video memory by anywhere between 40% to 60%, allowing NVIDIA to narrow the memory bus (and of course save costs).

The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X is being offered at the NVIDIA MSRP (baseline pricing) of $299, it’s designed for those that want the most affordable RTX 4060 that they can just install and forget about, so you get the full RTX 4060 experience, without the bells-and-whistles of RGB lighting, elaborate cooling, etc. The card even comes with a small factory overclock to 2595 MHz rated boost, a 135 MHz increase. Its compact form should make it highly compatible with compact cases, including SFF ones. The 1-pound cooling solution looks plenty for the 115 W typical power, and uses a dual-fan setup. Today (June 28), NVIDIA is allowing us to publish reviews of all the RTX 4060 graphics cards priced at the $299 MSRP, we’ll have reviews of more premium cards priced above the MSRP tomorrow.
