NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

The RTX 4060 pairs best with mid-range CPUs like the Intel Core i5-14600K or AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. These processors provide optimal performance without bottlenecking the GPU. Budget CPUs like the i5-13600K or Ryzen 5 5600X also work well with minimal bottlenecking.

There will be minimal bottlenecking with the i5-14600K, typically around 1-2% depending on the game and resolution. This is still very playable and you'll get excellent performance. The RTX 4060 is well-matched with mid-range processors.

We recommend at least a 500W 80+ Gold power supply for the RTX 4060. The GPU has a 115W TDP, and you need additional power for your CPU, motherboard, and other components. A high-quality PSU ensures stable power delivery and prevents system instability.

Absolutely! The RTX 4060 is excellent for 1080p gaming with ray tracing enabled. It can achieve 60+ FPS in most games at 1080p with ultra settings and ray tracing. With DLSS 3.0, you can even push higher frame rates while maintaining excellent image quality.

The RTX 4060 offers approximately 15-20% better performance than the RTX 3060, with improved ray tracing capabilities, more efficient power consumption, and better AI performance. It's built on the new Ada Lovelace architecture with enhanced efficiency and features.

The RTX 4060 was released on June 29, 2023, with a starting MSRP of $299. It's now available from various retailers and offers excellent value for entry-level gaming.

You need a motherboard with a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for optimal performance, though PCIe 3.0 x16 will work with minimal performance loss. Most modern motherboards (Z790, X670E, B650E) support PCIe 4.0. Check your motherboard specifications to confirm compatibility.
