It’s been a month since NVIDIA introduced the entire GeForce RTX 4060 lineup, and the same amount time since we reviewed the 8GB Ti-variant of the card. And while the GPU brand has already published its own official benchmarks, it has also begun loosening restrictions for reviewers, allowing to show off the card’s prowess with just one game, Cyberpunk 2077.
JayzTwoCents was just one of a handful of reviewers who leapt on the opportunity to showcase the prowess of the RTX 4060 running the game. As to why NVIDIA is making an exception with Cyberpunk 2077, there are no prizes for guessing why. For the uninitiated, though, the game is one of the only titles on the current market that supports the GPU brand’s technologies, including DLSS 3 and Path-tracing, otherwise known as Overdrive Mode in-game.
In Jay’s case, his RTX 4060 is a dual-fan model from ASUS, a card that is able to push out 81 fps on average at Full HD but oddly enough, he turned off ray-tracing, DLSS3 and Frame Generation turned off. For YouTuber Daniel Owen, they ran the in-game benchmark with said features turned on and found that the card was able to run above 100 fps. On a related note, it appears that they were running ray-tracing at Ultra, not path-tracing.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060’s embargo is expected to end this week, a whole month ahead of the brand’s original July launch window for the non-Ti GPU. Further, it is also being said that the card will not have a Founders Edition variant, making it the second card in the RTX 40 Series to launch in such a manner, the first being the RTX 4070 Ti that we reviewed back in January this year. It will retail at a starting SRP of US$299 (~RM1394).
