The RTX 4060-Ti is based on Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture. It features 4,352 cores with base / boost clocks of 2.3 / 2.5 GHz, 8 GB or 16 GB of memory, a 128-bit memory bus, 34 3rd gen RT cores, 136 4th gen Tensor cores, DLSS 3 (with frame generation), a TDP of 160W and launch prices of $400 USD (8 GB) and $500 USD (16 GB). The 4060-Ti is around 12% faster than the 3060-Ti at the same MSRP and offers similar performance to the 3070 at a 20% lower MSRP. Since the 4060-Ti only has 128-bit memory (vs 256-bit in the 3060-Ti) it is only around (6%) faster than the 3060-Ti at 4K. This will not concern most gamers, who are best off playing at 1080p. The 8 GB variant is easily the better option as games rarely use more than 8 GB. First time buyers tempted to consider the RX 7600/6800 by AMD’s army of Advanced Marketing scammers (youtube, reddit, twitter, forums etc.) should be aware that AMD have a history of releasing benchmark busting, heavily marketed, sub standard products. The 4060-Ti is more power efficient (quieter), has a broader feature set (RT/DLSS 3.0) and offers far better game compatibility (drivers). PC gamers looking to join AMD’s “2%” GPU club (Steam stats: 5000/6000/7000 series combined mkt share) need to work on their critical thinking skills: Influencers are paid handsomely to scam users into buying inferior products.

The RTX 3090 is Nvidia’s 3000 series flagship. It takes the crown as the fastest consumer graphics card money can buy. Nvidia’s new Ampere architecture, which supersedes Turing, offers both improved power efficiency and performance. The 3090 features 10,496 CUDA cores and 328 Tensor cores, it has a base clock of 1.4 GHz boosting to 1.7 GHz, 24 GB of memory and a power draw of 350 W. The 3090 offers more than double the memory and beats the previous generation’s flagship RTX 2080 Ti significantly in terms of effective speed. That said, the 3090 also comes with a hefty $1,500 price tag. Professional users, such as game developers, that can make use of 24 GB of memory, may find value in the 3090. Regular users should be wary of the hype around 8k gaming. High end gamers ought to consider the 3080 which offers comparable gaming performance for less than half the money. In terms of real world performance, Nvidia’s 3000 series has more or less put AMD’s Radeon group in checkmate. Nonetheless, AMD’s marketers are capable of delivering elaborate BS albeit whilst struggling to keep a straight face. Their marketing infrastructure outsold Intel in the CPU market despite a 15% performance deficit. Without an appropriate social media marketing strategy, Nvidia will probably lose considerable market share, for all the wrong reasons. [Sep '20GPUPro]
