Best RTX 4060 Ti Graphics Cards for 2024

These RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards are the cream of the crop.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is NVIDIAโ€™s answer to many gamersโ€™ desire for an entry-level current-gen GPU that doesnโ€™t break the bank.

With an MSRP of $399, the ‘Ada Lovelace’ 4060 Ti offers great 1080p performance and entry-level 1440p performance. But there are many to choose from.

Below, weโ€™ve given a run-down of some of the best RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards you can buy right now.

1. MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio

Best Performing RTX 4060 Ti

  • 2670MHz Clock Speed
  • 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
  • 13.3-Inches Long
  • Triple Fan Design

Itโ€™s perhaps no surprise that MSIโ€™s Gaming X Trio model is the best-performing RTX 4060 Ti. Gaming X Trio cards are typically some of the best-performing options right out of the box, and this holds true for the 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio.

Its higher price tag is justified by its better out-of-the-box performance. Most online benchmarks show that the MSI 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio performs better out of the box than any other 4060 Ti AIB in modern games. This is in part because of its whopping 2670MHz boost clock, but itโ€™s also because of its stellar cooling.

Again relying on TechPowerUpโ€™s testing, they found that the Gaming X Trio 4060 Ti runs cooler at 56c than any other they tested, which is impressive considering the sheer out-of-the-box performance itโ€™s capable of. And itโ€™s even more impressive when you factor in that itโ€™s the quietest 4060 Ti to boot, with its fans putting out less than 24dBA of noise.

And while there are certain factors that might make the ASUS TUF Gaming 4060 Ti OC a slightly better prospect for overclocking, the MSI Gaming X Trio 4060 Ti is a very close runner-up. This is because its max power limit is 195W (20W higher than the FE) and it can achieve an overclock just shy of 2.9GHz.

Itโ€™s also one of the only AIB 4060 Tis to share the FEโ€™s low watt-per-frame efficiency. This probably wonโ€™t make for a massive energy saving over the years, but every little helps.

Of course, this card also looks great. Its familiar triple-slash RGB lighting atop its angular black-silver shroud isnโ€™t anything new, but that this design has stuck around means people must like it, and for good reason.

Ultimately, though, the main reason to opt for the MSI card over others is for its out-of-the-box performance. Overclocking performance is often a silicone lottery, but out-of-the-box framerates and cooling setups tend to remain steady, and itโ€™s in these areas that the 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio blows its competition out of the water.

2. ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC

Best RTX 4060 Ti for Overclocking

  • 2625MHz Clock Speed
  • 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
  • 11.8-Inches Long
  • Triple Fan Design

Our Rating: 9.3/10

Itโ€™s a tough call between the TUF Gaming OC, and the MSI Gaming X Trio for overclocking. The TUF OC has a slightly worse VRM than the MSI card, but the highest power limit of the bunch.

While its 6x55A power stages (330A max current) arenโ€™t quite the Gaming X Trioโ€™s 8x50A (400A max current), the $459 TUF OCโ€™s VRM should be more than capable of supporting even hefty overclocks. Combine this with its 200W power limitโ€”higher than any other RTX 4060 Tiโ€”and you have a GPU born for overclocking.

Itโ€™s no slouch at stock clocks, either, given its 2625MHz stock boost clock and its chillingly cool temps while gaming. The Gaming X Trio might stay a couple of degrees cooler, but other than the MSI card, the TUF OC bests pretty much any 4060 Ti in the thermal department.

The only downside is it doesnโ€™t have quite the snazzy RGB flair as the MSI cardโ€”not that the MSI card is overstated in that department, either. But if youโ€™re into a darker, square, minimalistic design, the TUF OC is the GPU for you.

Ultimately, thereโ€™s little in it between the TUF OC and Gaming X Trio 4060 Ti for overclocking, so opting for the one that you think looks best isnโ€™t a bad idea. That, or opting for a 4060 Ti FE and saving $60, while crossing your fingers and hoping the silicone lottery is kindโ€”if it is, it might just overclock better than even these high-end AIBs.

3. MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 2X Black OC

Cheapest RTX 4060 Ti

  • 2565MHz Clock Speed
  • 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
  • 7.8-Inches Long
  • Dual Fan Design

Our Rating: 9.2/10

Although prices may fluctuate over time, currently one of the cheapest RTX 4060 Ti retailing online is this Ventus 2X Black. You can pick one up for about $379, which is $20 cheaper than the 4060 Ti FE.

As you might expect with one of the cheaper variants, this MSI GPU doesnโ€™t offer too much more in the way of performance, at least not compared to the TUF OC or Gaming X Trio. It offers a modest 30Hz overclock (2565MHz) compared to the FE and sports a matte black plastic shroud with dual โ€œTORX FAN 4.0โ€ fans.

Apart from its price, one draw to the Ventus 4060 Ti 2X Black OC is its size. It comes in at just 199mm long, while the 4060 Ti FE is 240mm long, and the triple-fan cards like the MSI and ASUS ones above are even longer at 338mm and 300mm, respectively.

So, if you want a 4060 Ti and want to save as much money as possibleโ€”or if you want a smaller cardโ€”the Ventus 2X Black OC 4060 Ti is a solid choice.

4. Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Twin Edge

Best-Looking RTX 4060 Ti

  • 2535MHz Clock Speed
  • 8GB GDDR6 VRAM
  • 8.9-Inches Long
  • Dual Fan Design

There are plenty of good-looking RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards (take the MSI Gaming X Trio, for instance). But none look as unique as the Zotac 4060 Ti Twin Edge.

For the same $399 price tag as the 4060 Ti FE, youโ€™re getting a 4060 Ti that packs a dainty and smooth aesthetic into a sturdy build with a metal backplate. Its โ€œIceStorm 2.0โ€ cooling and โ€œSPECTRAโ€ RGB lighting gel together perfectly, and its curled-over shroud looks fantastic with its dual fan cooling setup.

We should also note that, if you prefer something a little more colorful, thereโ€™s a (modestly) overclocked โ€œSPIDER-MAN: Across the Spider-Verseโ€ version of the card which has a spider man graphic plastered across the GPU backplate. Aesthetics are clearly in Zotacโ€™s mind with this graphics card.

Apart from looking stunning, just like the MSI Ventus OC, the overclocked Spider-Verse version of the Twin Edge OC 4060 Ti comes with a 30MHz higher overclock compared to the 4060 Ti FE. Unfortunately, itโ€™s not as small as the Ventus, coming in 27mm longer at 226mm, but itโ€™s still shorter than the FE, and pulls this off while looking gorgeous.

This card should be considered primarily for its aesthetics. If youโ€™re looking for a cheap GPU, the Ventus should perform just as well but is a little cheaper. And if youโ€™re looking for something more powerful, the TUF OC or Gaming X Trio will be a better bet for a little extra.

But if youโ€™re looking for a 4060 Ti for a reasonable price thatโ€™s also worthy of taking the spotlight in your side-paneled, RGB-lit PC case, the Twin Edge (or Twin Edge OC) should do the trick, and it should do it with more than a hint of style.

RTX 4060 Ti Alternatives

The closest comp to the RTX 4060 Ti is the RX 7700 XT. The 7700 XT is slightly more expensive, but it does provide a small performance advantage. However, the 4060 Ti will offer better raytracing performance and it comes with the more advanced upscaling technology.

If you want to spend more money to get more performance, the next jump up from the 4060 Ti would be the RTX 4070 or the RX 7800 XT.

And, if you want to save some money, the RTX 4060 and RX 7600 are options that will still provide solid 1080P gaming performance at a lower price point.
