Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Among the several new RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards received by CTOnews.com, what impressed me most is that Gengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chased the wind. Nothing else, just because it's so small. It is because the energy efficiency ratio of RTX 4060 Ti is greatly improved and the heating power consumption is greatly reduced, which makes this kind of small size graphics card possible.

In this test, we will use a set of high-configuration intel configuration to test this video card, the resolution is also adjusted to 1080p, in order to avoid the video card bottleneck. The specific configuration is as follows:

The design GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chase is the smallest graphics card CTOnews.com has received since the release of the Ada architecture. The graphics card body is a standard 2-slot design, BWH only 217*126.5*43mm (including bezel) / 206*111.5*41mm (without bezel), most of the small chassis that support dual-fan graphics cards are compatible.

The part of the radiator is designed in red and black color, and the sense of electric competition is full.

The tail of the heat pipe is wrapped up to make it feel more integrated.

The Tengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chase Wind has a full backplane cover and a hollowed-out design at the rear to facilitate airflow to take away heat.

The periphery of the graphics card is surrounded by a red-and-black color package with an eye-catching GeForce RTX logo and GAINWARD LOGO.

In terms of power supply, it uses a standard 8Pin interface, which can be easily adapted to the old power supply without the need for wiring. In practical use, most players can be satisfied with a power supply of more than 450W. This is definitely good news for ITX chassis that have to use SFX small power supplies.

‎

The I / O interface bezel uses dark gray color matching, and the interface is equipped with 3*DP1.4a interface and 1*HDMI2.1 interface, and the highest 8K60Hz output is supported.

Core parsing RTX 4060 Ti is based on AD106 core. The overall architecture is similar to the RTX 4070 we tested before, but the GPC has changed from 4 groups to 3 groups, with a total of 4352 CUDA cores, 136 Tensor cores, 34 third-generation RT cores and 51 ROP units, which can basically be understood to retain the core size of RTX 4070. The signature NVENC video encoding unit and NVDNC video decoding unit still exist, which means that it is also very suitable for content creation.

The BOOST frequency of Tengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chasing wind is 2550MHz, which is higher than the public version of 15MHz, and the default frequency is 2250MHz. In the aspect of video memory, the 128-bit bit-wide 8GB GDDR6 Samsung display memory has greatly reduced power consumption and heat.

Thanks to the latest NVIDIA Ada architecture, RTX 4060 Ti achieves up to 2x performance-to-power ratio leaps. Its streaming multiprocessor throughput is more than twice that of the previous generation, and the ray-tracing computing power of the third-generation RT Cores is 2.8 times higher. In addition, the fourth generation of Tensor Cores added a FP8 engine with up to 1.32 petaflops of Tensor processing performance, more than five times that of the previous generation. SER technology brings up to three times the performance improvement for ray tracing, and up to 25% improvement for overall game performance.

The new Ada architecture provides amazing performance and energy efficiency for a variety of professional graphics, video, AI, and computing workloads, as well as many innovative features, such as:

1. A new optical flow accelerator is added, which can use AI to predict the motion changes in the scene, realize the frame generation technology of DLSS 3, and greatly improve the frame rate and image quality.

two。 Support AV1 encoder, can effectively compress the size of video files, while ensuring higher image quality. This is very useful for application scenarios such as video transcoding, streaming media, video conferencing, augmented reality and virtual reality.

3. The introduction of the RTX VSR function can achieve real-time video super-resolution, so that low-resolution video can also show clear details on the high-resolution screen.

It is worth mentioning that the interface adopted by RTX 4060 Ti 8G has also changed, from PCIe 4.0 to PCIe 4.0, which will not have any impact on players using the new motherboard. However, if your motherboard only supports PCIe3.0, then it runs in PCIe3.0*8 in practice, and the bandwidth will be affected to a certain extent. It is recommended to install the machine with a relatively new platform.

Theoretical performance GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chase wind volume is so small, can the heat dissipation system hold it down? We're going to test the grill. After 15 minutes, the core temperature is about 75.3 ℃, and the apparent storage temperature is about 90 ℃. The power consumption of the whole card is 156W, and this heat dissipation is indeed inferior to other big cards, but it is definitely within an acceptable range.

Next, there is a 3DMark pressure test, which can detect whether the performance of the graphics card has declined under continuous running minutes. Generally, more than 97% can be regarded as a qualified graphics card. The measured wind score of GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is 99.8%, and the stability is even higher than that of the public version.

In the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, the RTX 4060 Ti chased the wind with a graphics card score of 13684. For comparison, RTX 3060Ti's score was 12277, an increase of about 10%, while much lower power consumption.

In the 3DMark FireStrike Extreme DX11 test, the score of the RTX 4060 Ti chasing wind card reached 16197, compared with the 14553 score of the RTX 3060 Ti, an increase of about 10%.

In the 3DMark Portal Royal light pursuit test, RTX 4060 Ti scored 8008 points. As a comparison, the score of RTX 3060 Ti was 7158. It seems that the theoretical performance of RTX 4060 Ti 8G is about 10% compared with RTX 3060 Ti.

Following the actual measurement of the game, we will conduct the actual measurement of the game. The settings are as follows:

Resolution: 1920 to 1080

Picture quality: all the highest

Light chase: if there is, drive to the highest level.

DLSS: if there is, drive to the quality file.

The first test is the competitive game "CS:GO", which shows the performance of the RTX 4060 Ti 8G at high frame rates. By running its own BenchMark test, the average number of frames reached 539 frames, which can fully meet the needs of high frame rate for fun, and can fully adapt to a variety of e-sports screens.

Next, the author also tested two classic 3A masterpieces. "Wild Dart 2: redemption" can reach an average of 116frames with a quality DLSS, which is already enough for 100 frames to play high-definition 3A.

We got a similar answer in another classic 3A masterpiece, Tomb Raider: shadow. Running its own BenchMark at the highest picture quality of 1080p has reached an average of 213 frames, one frame higher than the public version of RTX 4060 Ti.

What really opens the gap between the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 3060Ti is its DLSS 3 technology, which leverages the fourth-generation Tensor Core and optical flow accelerators on AI and GeForce RTX 40 series GPU to generate more high-quality frames, resulting in a significant increase in the number of frames. DLSS 3 is the latest version of NVIDIA deep learning oversampling technology and a revolutionary breakthrough in neural graphics technology, which can improve performance by up to 4x while maintaining picture quality and reaction speed.

To put it simply, the past DLSS 2 technology improved image quality and frame rate by rendering a low-resolution image and then zooming in to a high resolution through AI. On the basis of compatibility with DLSS 2, the new DLSS 3 technology adds a frame generation function, which can insert a new frame calculated by AI between two real frames, so as to double the frame rate. At the same time, combined with the super-resolution function of DLSS 2, AI can reconstruct up to 7/8 display pixels, and the game performance can be up to four times better than without DLSS!

So far, more than 300 DLSS games and apps have been released. There are more than 30 released DLSS 3 games. In terms of the progress of the release, DLSS 3 was adopted seven times faster than DLSS 2 in the first six months of the release of DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 respectively. It seems that the difficulty of adaptation is quite low. I believe that more and more games will adapt to DLSS technology in the future.

Let's first take a look at the frame number of the most stressful "cyber punk 2077" at + 1080p resolution. By default, RTX 4060 Ti 8G still has no way to play, with an average of about 44 frames. If DLSS 2 quality is turned on, the average number of frames can reach 79 frames. And if you open the exclusive cool techs DLSS 3 of the RTX 40 series, it will soar to an average of 119 frames in an instant.

Legendary 3A masterpiece "Wizards 3: hunting" has also recently updated the next-generation version with greatly improved configuration requirements, and it also provides support for DLSS 3 technology, which is good news for RTX 40 series graphics cards.

The next-generation version of "Wizard 3: hunter" has an average of only 47 frames in GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8G with 1080p resolution without DLSS. If you turn on quality file DLSS 2, you can achieve an average of 65 frames of smooth play. If AI-enhanced DLSS 3 technology is enabled, the number of frames can soar to an average of 103 frames, and most scenes can achieve 100 frames of 1080p special effects.

In another next-generation 3A masterpiece, the Legend of the Plague: Requiem, the optimization is relatively much better. Even if you do not turn on any AI technology, you can play smoothly at 1080p 60 frames, and you can play with the number of e-sports frames after DLSS 3 is added.

The measured RTX 4060 Ti 8G can already satisfy 60 frames of free play without turning on the DLSS technology. If you turn on the DLSS 2 quality file, you can achieve an average of 76 frames, and if you turn on DLSS 3 inserting frames, the number of frames will soar to an average of 127. the experience will be quite smooth, and even 2K60 frames can be played smoothly.

We also use Nvidia's official FrameView tool to count the average power consumption in each 3A masterpiece. The actual power consumption in most of the 3A masterpieces of RTX 4060 Ti is about 130W-140W, which is slightly higher than that of the public card, but it is still a very low level. More than 450W power supply is sufficient in practical use.

Creative production GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chase has also been given some creative production capacity, and the graphics card supports the installation of NVIDIA Studio drivers to accelerate more than 110 of the most popular creative applications. Proprietary SDK makes these applications run faster and provides exclusive features such as Optix, DLSS, and Maxine. NVIDIA Studio has a full range of creative applications, including NVIDIA Omniverse, Broadcast, Canvas and RTX Remix. Let's do a simple test with it next.

We first measured the performance of V-Ray Benchmark. The RTX 4060 Ti wind chase scored 1352 points, which can meet some medium-scale modeling and rendering requirements.

Thanks to the improvement of light pursuit performance, the score of RTX 4060 Ti chase wind in V-Ray GPU RTX has also increased to 1882, which can also meet the rendering needs of some medium load light pursuit modeling.

We also test the performance of RTX 4060 Ti chasing wind in Blender, and the measured results are as follows. It can be seen that RTX 4060 Ti chasing wind has a very good acceleration effect on this kind of modeling work.

In the later part of the video, the RTX 4060 Ti is also equipped with an eighth-generation NVENC AV1 encoder. And RTX 4060 Ti 8G also supports the next generation video coding technology AV1,AV1, which can provide faster video coding and higher quality streaming media transmission performance while occupying the same space. As the major video platforms want to save the cost of server traffic, AV1 coding will become the mainstream coding method in the future.

We did a little experiment. In the professional version of clipping, a video with the same resolution and the same bit rate is derived, one coding protocol chooses the traditional H264, and the other chooses the next generation AV1 coding. As a result, the volume of H264 coding is 140m and the volume of AV1 coding is only 106m, which is much smaller on the premise of ensuring the image quality.

CTOnews.com also tested the PugetBench For Adobe family bucket to see if it could do the video editing job. Measured RTX 4060 Ti chase Wind in the Adobe Premiere commonly used by creative workers, we enable GPU Cuda acceleration, and then use PugetBenchmark to test. With a final score of 1398, there is no pressure to browse 4K videos on the timeline.

We also use PugetBenchmark for testing in Adobe Effects, another more stressful video special effects software. The final score is 1572, which can be used to make some more complex video special effects.

In addition to video content production, RTX 4060 Ti 8G also supports RTX VSR technology in the field of video content consumption. The full name is RTX Video Super Resolution (RTX Video Super Resolution Technology). It can increase the resolution of online 1080p video to 4K at most through AI calculation of GPU. At present, this technology has adapted to Chrome browser and Edge browser, as well as local player VLC.

The use of RTX video super resolution is very simple, as long as the driver of the RTX 30 series / 40 series is updated to the latest version, and the Chrome / Edge browser is updated to the latest version. Enable the path as follows: NVIDIA Control Panel-Video-adjust video image settings. There are four gears available under this option box. The higher the gear, the more obvious the super-resolution effect, but it will also consume more GPU resources.

At present, it already supports domestic mainstream video platforms (bilibili, Douyu and Huya), as well as some foreign video platforms (Youtube, Twitch, Netflix, Hulu and Disney+). It also supports local video super resolution. In the following test, after the resolution of the leftmost native 480p is overscored, the following 1-4 gear can be seen more clearly, and the actual look and feel is comparable to that of 4K.

↑ is 480p, VSR1, VSR2, VSR3, VSR4 from left to right.

To sum up, in the author's opinion, Tengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti chasing wind is what RTX 40 series dessert cards should look like. Thanks to the new Ada architecture and TSMC's advanced technology, the power consumption of the RTX 4060 Ti has been reduced by more than 50%, and it is undoubtedly a waste of resources to use a huge radiator. Not only let consumers spend more money unjustly, but also can not fit into the small chassis. On the other hand, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti ensures the full release of performance with a very small size, and in most projects it is even slightly higher than the public version, which is impressive.

Overall, the Gengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a new card with excellent cost performance and suitable for small chassis. ITX players can take action. If you want to use it for productivity, look forward to the subsequent release of the 16g large memory version of the RTX 4060 Ti. The Gengsheng GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be available on the shelves at 21:00 on May 24 at a price of 3199 yuan. It can then be purchased on all major e-commerce platforms.
