Palit GeForce RTX 4060 Dual Review

Source: Tech Power Up added 28th Jun 2023

Introduction

Palit GeForce RTX 4060 Dual is a new graphics card based on NVIDIA’s latest entry to the mainstream-segment that dominates Steam Hardware Survey, where the new RTX 4060 succeeds a long line of popular graphics cards, such as the RTX 3060, RTX 2060, and GTX 1060. The vast majority of PC gamers still play at 1080p some 15 years into the emergence of the resolution, and NVIDIA’s job with the RTX 4060 is to give them a fast, feature-packed graphics card at the $300-mark. NVIDIA has been motivating its partners to sell graphics cards at baseline prices, which is where the Palit RTX 4060 Dual steps in—it has all the bases covered with respect to design, a compact form, and fanless idle. This card is targeted at those that just want an RTX 4060 that they can install and get to gaming, without bothering with RGB aesthetics and other frills.

The GeForce RTX 4060 offers two distinct advantages over the RTX 3060. Since it’s based on the latest Ada Lovelace architecture, you get DLSS 3, a path-breaking new tech that nearly doubles frame rates by drawing alternate frames purely using AI, and without involving the graphics rendering machinery. Since the RTX 4060 uses the latest 5 nm EUV foundry process, it has some of the lowest typical board power for this segment, rated at just 115 W, or about 50% less than that of the RTX 3060.

The RTX 4060 is based on the new AD107 silicon, which is NVIDIA’s smallest for this generation, a surprising design choice, given that the RTX 3060 was based on the GA106 silicon that precedes the AD106 chip powering the RTX 4060 Ti. This may be the smallest chip in the lineup, but has 50% more transistors than the GA106 powering the RTX 3060. The RTX 4060 maxes out the AD107, enabling all 24 SM, which works out to 3,072 CUDA cores, 96 Tensor cores, 24 RT cores, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The card is endowed with 8 GB of 17 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface. Both the memory bus width and memory size are reduced by 50% compared to the original RTX 3060, but NVIDIA claims to have overcome the deficit by re-designing the memory sub-system, with large on-die L2 caches that are about 8-12 times larger than the ones on Ampere.

The Palit RTX 4060 Dual is being offered at the NVIDIA MSRP of $300, along with a noise-optimized cooling solution, a compact form, and NVIDIA-reference clock speeds of 2460 MHz boost, and 17 Gbps memory.
