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

Because the graphics card is a product that brings together the cutting-edge technology of human beings, manufacturers tend to prefer the style of science and technology when designing graphics cards. But when you think about it, who stipulates that graphics cards must follow this style? Can't there be a lovely wind design? COLORFIRE, a brand owned by Qicaihong, is aware of this demand and recently launched a graphics card with interesting design: COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Orange 8GB.

CTOnews.com also received the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB in advance. In this test, we will use a set of high-equipped seven rainbow family buckets to test, the specific configuration is as follows:

The exterior design of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB takes on a new look, with a warm pink and white design as a whole, while the whole bright orange in the middle is reminiscent of the lovely orange cat. Due to the use of three-fan design, the overall size is still quite large, the specific size is 331*134*46mm (including baffle), we need to pay attention to chassis compatibility when buying.

The overall design of the graphics card is round Q-bomb, and the round powder makes people want to squeeze it very much. In the middle of the pink and white fan is the image of a fat cat, which is the big orange on the packaging of the graphics card, named "Jubao". There is a small MEOW under the fan, which represents the English name of the series: COLORFIRE RTX 4060 Ti MEOW.

The backplane of the graphics card adopts a simple and round design style, which will not be abrupt in the chassis and looks quite smart.

The right back plate has a hollowed-out design to facilitate the cooling air blowing through the fins to enhance the heat dissipation performance.

The edge of the right side is designed to avoid the sudden appearance caused by the protruding heat pipe, and a pattern of cat's claws is printed in the middle, which is quite lovely.

It also provides a lighting design, located on the side of the graphics card, showing the shape of COLOFIRE's LOGO and four cat claws.

The default light is orange, which matches the color matching of the whole card, and can also be customized through the new version of iGame Center.

In terms of power supply, it uses the standard 8Pin interface, the compatibility of the power supply is very strong, the upgrade computer does not need to change the power supply at all, and the security is higher.

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.

In addition to the warranty card, there is also a sticker showing the image of the seven rainbow players in the package.

Core analysis COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB is also a graphics card based on the AD106 core. Its GPC core has been reduced from 4 groups of RTX 4070 to 3 groups, with a total of 4352 CUDA cores, 136 Tensor cores, 34 third-generation RT cores and 51 ROP units, equivalent to maintaining 4070 of the number of RTX cores. It also has the N-card features of NVENC video coding unit and NVDNC video decoding unit.

The default frequency of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti orange shadow orange 8GB is higher than that of the public edition, reaching 2535MHz, and the default frequency is 2310MHz. In the aspect of video memory, the 128-bit bit-wide 8GB GDDR6 Samsung display memory has greatly reduced power consumption and heat.

The COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Orange 8GB is also a graphics card with the new NVIDIA Ada architecture, which is manufactured using a custom TSMC 4N NVIDIA process, resulting in a 2x improvement in performance and power consumption. Its streaming multiprocessor performance is twice as high as that of the previous generation, and the ray-tracing capability of the third-generation RT Cores is also 2.8 times higher. In addition, the fourth generation of Tensor Cores added the FP8 engine, which has up to 1.32 petaflops of Tensor computing performance, which is five times that of the previous generation. SER technology brings up to three times faster performance for ray tracing, and overall game performance can be improved by 25%.

It is worth mentioning that the interface used by the RTX 4060 Ti 8G has also changed, from PCIe 4.0: 16 to PCIe 4.0: 8, but after the actual measurement, even with the old motherboard, it will hardly bring performance loss, players can rest assured to install the machine.

Theoretical performance GeForce RTX 4060Ti is a very low power consumption graphics card, with three fans of the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060Ti Shadow Orange 8GB naturally will not have any performance release problems. We tested the roaster and found that after 15 minutes using FurMark, the stable core temperature was about 62.9 ℃ and the apparent memory temperature was about 73.7 ℃. The entire graphics card requires only 158W of power consumption, which is not only much lower than RTX 3060 Ti, but even lower than RTX 3060. In conventional installation, only one 550W power supply is enough for the whole computer.

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 score of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti orange shadow orange 8GB is 99.5%, and the performance release is extremely stable.

In the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, the video card score reached 13958. For comparison, RTX 3060Ti's score was 12277, an increase of about 10%, while the power consumption was much lower. At the same time, because this is an OC card, it is about 200 points higher than the public version.

In the 3DMark FireStrike Extreme DX11 test, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB card score reached 16105, compared with the RTX 3060 Ti score of 14553, an increase of about 10%. It is also about 400 points higher than the public version of RTX 4060 Ti.

In the 3DMark Portal Royal light pursuit test, COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB scored 8192 points, compared with 7158 points for RTX 3060 Ti. And from the above tests, we can see that the performance improvement of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB compared with the public card is about 2%.

After the actual measurement of the game, we will carry out the actual measurement of the game. The resolution is adjusted to 1920 to 1080, and the image quality is adjusted to the highest. If you have light, you will open the most high-end light pursuit, and if you have DLSS, you will open it to the quality file. The first is the competitive game "CS:GO", which shows the performance of the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB in high frames. After running its own BenchMark, the average frame has reached 539 frames, which can run all kinds of electronic competition screens.

In APEX Legends, another shooting game that requires a high frame rate, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB can reach a high number of frames in the training ground, and the game experience is excellent.

Next, the author also tested two classic 3A masterpieces. "Control" in the case of turning on quality DLSS, can reach an average of 145frames, 100 frames of fun light chase masterpiece, 2K60 frame or above is not a problem.

In another classic 3A masterpiece, Tomb Raider: shadow, running its own BenchMark at the highest quality of 1080p has reached an average of 186frames, which can also bring a great gaming experience of 100 frames.

Of course, the number of frames of RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 3060Ti in the above games does not open the gap. What really widens the gap between the two is DLSS 3 technology, which uses 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 46 frames.

If DLSS 2 quality is enabled, COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB frames can reach an average of 82 frames.

And if you open the exclusive cool techs DLSS 3 GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB of the RTX 40 series, it will soar to an average of 122frames, not to mention the light chase of the highest quality of 100 frames.

The legendary 3A game "Wizard 3: Hunt" has also launched a next-generation version, followed by higher configuration requirements and DLSS 3 technology support, which is a pleasant surprise for RTX 40 series graphics card users who want to have better game performance. When DLSS is not turned on, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB only achieves an average of 42 frames at 1080p resolution.

If you open the quality file DLSS 2 GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB, you can achieve an average of 62 frames of smooth play.

If AI-enhanced DLSS 3 technology is enabled, the number of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB frames can soar to an average of 100 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. COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB can almost satisfy 60 frames without DLSS technology, and the measured average frame is 58 frames.

If the DLSS 2 quality file is enabled, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB can reach an average of 77 frames.

If DLSS 3 frame insertion is enabled, the number of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti orange shadow orange 8GB frames will soar to an average of 120. enjoy the number of frames in the game and play 3A masterpieces.

Creative production productivity is precisely the strongest area of NVIDIA graphics cards, and it is also the strongest wall of NVIDIA ecology at present. COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB also 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.

First, we test the performance of COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Orange 8GB in the common modeling software Blender. The measured results are as follows. We can see that COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Orange 8GB has a very good acceleration effect on this kind of modeling work, and its speed can reach ten times that of flagship CPU.

In the later part of the video, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Shadow Orange 8GB is also equipped with a NVENC 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 COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Orange 8GB in the Adobe Premiere commonly used by creative workers, we turn on GPU Cuda acceleration, and then use PugetBenchmark to test. The final score is 1423, which can handle 8K video clips smoothly.

We also use PugetBenchmark for testing in Adobe Effects, another more stressful video special effects software. With a final score of 1578, we can see that COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB is very suitable to be used as an accelerator card for creative production.

In summary, among the new RTX 4060 Ti cards tested by CTOnews.com, the COLORFIRE GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Orange Shadow Orange 8GB is undoubtedly very eye-catching. It abandoned the shackles that the graphics card had to follow the straight male style of science and technology in the past, and played the main role of cute and cute wind.
