Customers are impressed with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Overclock 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card's performance and value. Many appreciate the significant performance upgrade over previous generations and consider it a great value for its price. Positive feedback also highlights the card's effective cooling system, resulting in quiet and cool operation. The card's graphics quality also receives praise.
This GPU is a mixed bag for what it is. Asus did a good job with the design of this, it runs cool and quiet, part of which is down to just how small and efficient the chip is. So I have no complaints there. Can't even hear the thing while gaming. I ran a number of benchmarks on this to see where it landed in performance, and its a little lack luster. For starters I compared it in Timespy to measure its pure graphical power. To my surprise it was only 42% faster than the 2060, a GPU that came out 5 years ago. It was over twice as fast as the 970 I had to compare with. In my picture focus in on the graphics score as the CPU changed between those builds. Next I tested some games. For Helldivers, I had to drop the settings to High, but set the resolution modifier to native. This had it at almost 90fps which I felt was good for this game. I could have run Ultra and still been at 60-70, but the game simply feels best at around 90. Then there was Horizon Forbidden West. This game I had to turn down settings to simply get it playable. I ended up with 68fps with High Settings and no DLSS. Using DLSS at 1080p results in pretty bad image quality and its best to sacrafice settings. And finally I tested Dragons Dogma 2. That game I had to enable DLSS to get playable frame rates, ending up at 66fps. With Horizon the limit was VRAM. The game simply wanted more VRAM than this GPU had to offer, and sadly you don't get it with entry level 40 series. So already, a brand new GPU is facing VRAM limits. Some might ask why I didn't enable Frame Generation. Well I did. In most titles I enabled it, it actually resulted in a loss of performance. In a few cases it got a slight gain, but in games where you are pushing close to 8GB of VRAM usage, it hurt more than it helped. So don't purchase this GPU (or any 4060) in hopes that you'll be able to enable Frame Gen to make up the frames cause it might actually hurt more than it helps. At the price point, I can't really complain too much. Its a very compact, power efficient cool running card, that for most games (not the latest AAA games) its going to be just fine. This is perfect for modern gaming with some caveats, and E sports gaming. There are also the added benefits of RTX HDR (which allows you to inject HDR into any non HDR game), RTX Video Upscaling, and the Ansel filters you get with the Nvidia App.

I upgraded from a 1070 so it was a big difference, graphics are really nice. best I've seen so far. Great value for the price.

The RTX 4060 GPU has been very questionable in my PC build. The 8 gigs of VRam is a huge red flag that I wish I had paid attention to. It can chew through certain games at 1080p but the lack of VRam doesn’t really allow for you to play at certain graphics levels such as ultra or extreme and somtimes even just balanced. Other than that it’s definitely usable and is aesthetically pleasing.
