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

On October 31, the Seven Rainbow iGame Ultra series, together with the famous Guochuang animation IP "Fog Mountain five elements", launched a joint hardware with ink art style, "iGame GeForce RTX 4060 FAMILY Fog Mountain five elements" series graphics cards, including RTX 4060 FAMILY RTX 4060 Ti 8GB&16GB three versions to choose from. As a well-deserved dessert positioning of the 40 series, what kind of surprise will this Guofeng joint graphics card bring to us?

CTOnews.com got the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wushan five elements customized version of OC 16GB high-end version, with 16GB large memory. Considering the mainstream positioning of this card, we have equipped it with the following set of configurations:

Design the packaging of the Fushan five elements joint graphics card series has been completely designed, no longer using pull soft leather packaging, but changing to hard shell flip package. the top of the package is printed with a close-up of the head portrait of the protagonist of the Fog Mountain five Action painting and the national style font "Fogshan five elements", while the background is a mixture of ink and burning orange.

Opening the package, the joint money comes with a very rich content, especially a pair of white gloves, which makes the unpacking ceremony full. The ink mouse pad and five five-element masks attached with the card have both practical and collection value, and even the packing boxes of internal accessories have been painted with ink. It can be seen that the seven rainbows are more attentive in their joint names.

Take out the graphics card, this painting style is destined to be unusual. In the front shell armored part, although it is also ink style, but the seven rainbow in the ink part of the treatment has been diluted, coupled with warm white blades, the whole is still inclined to a lighter warm color style, between the left and middle fans and next to the right fan, there are some grooves and lines decoration, strengthen the graphics card hardline, publicity style, the fan is also printed with the Fushan five elements logo.

The processing of the backplane of the graphics card has a great sense of visual impact, and the pure black ink color from the right to the left gradually fades, like ink jet. The image of the protagonist is more wild and domineering under the contrast between the gilded outline and the black background, and its action is an obvious aggressive posture, and the gilded Wushan five elements is a bit like the battle manifesto roared out of the protagonist's mouth. Although there are still a lot of screw holes, but the arrangement is orderly and harmless. Interestingly, the backplane of this graphics card is not equipped with a large area of ventilation.

The internal heat dissipation module can be seen on one side of the graphics card, iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five-line customized version OC 16GB is regular in size, BWH is 313*119*48mm (excluding baffles), and 325*134*48mm if baffles are included, you can pay attention to the compatibility of the chassis when you buy.

The word GEFORCE RTX is printed on the other side of the video card, and there is a RGB RGB lamp group on the right.

The power supply interface is a standard single 8 Pin, so there is no transfer wire attached to the package.

Output interface part, equipped with 3*DP1.4a interface and 1*HDMI2.1 interface, up to support 8K60Hz output.

We will iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card into a white sea view room chassis, the overall appearance is still very high, although it is ink painting, but the side is mainly white background, fan lights reflected on the back of the card into a color, with the side of the fire RGB light group, everything is just right.

If you take a closer look at the RGB light group, the pattern is fixed. If you can deal with it slightly and use the lines in the background to do some exaggerated animation in cartoon style, the effect may be better.

Theoretical performance GeForce RTX 4060 Ti uses an excellent low-power design, so there is no need to worry about the performance release of the three-fan iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five-line customized OC 16GB graphics card. CTOnews.com conducted a simple test of the FurMark roaster. After 10 minutes, the core temperature was stable at 61.9 ℃ and the apparent memory temperature was 72.1 ℃, which can be said to be very cool. At the same time, the power consumption of the entire graphics card is less than 165W, which is not only much lower than RTX 3060 Ti, but even lower than RTX 3060.

Next is the TimeSPY stress test of 3DMark, which can reflect whether the performance of the graphics card has declined under continuous high load runs, that is, the stability of performance release, which is generally considered qualified when it reaches more than 97%. According to the actual measurement, the final score of the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card is 99.5%, and the performance release is very stable.

In the DX12-based 3DMark TimeSPY test, the score of iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card reached 13860. For comparison, the historical score of the RTX 3060 Ti is 12277, an increase of about 12.8%, but the power consumption is greatly reduced.

In the DX11-based 3DMark FireStrike Extreme test, the score of iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card reached 16606. For comparison, the historical score of RTX 3060 Ti is 14553, an increase of about 14.1%.

In 3DMark's Portal Royal light pursuit test, the score of iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card is 8295. For comparison, the score of RTX 3060 Ti was 7158, an increase of 15.8%. Overall, in the theoretical performance part of 3D Mark, this RTX 4060 Ti graphics card is about 14.5% higher than the previous generation RTX 3060 Ti.

Game testing in the following game testing, we will show the actual game performance of this iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five-line customized OC 16GB graphics card from many aspects, the resolution will be tested 1080p and 2K, and the game quality will be explained separately.

First of all, in the online competitive game "CS2", which requires much higher performance after the upgrade, we first choose 1080p all-low image quality test. The average frame number of iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti five-line customized OC 16GB is 369frames and 1% Low frames is 297. in fact, this frame rate performance is better than the old version of "CS:GO", which also shows that although the game requires high performance, but the optimization is still good.

Then we switch to 2K resolution and play another game on the same map, with an average of 353frames and 1% Low frames of 289. this performance does not have to worry about the fluency of the game at all.

In the most popular competitive game, Rainbow 6: siege, we used our own benchmark performance test to run points. The iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti five-line customized OC 16GB ran 444 frames in 1080p full-high definition, and 1% Low frames were 357 frames, which was able to run all over the mainstream high-brush screen.

Even at 2K full HD, the average number of frames can reach 336 frames, 1% Low frames are 275 frames, and the game experience is good.

In addition, we also tested the national-style competitive game "forever robbing forever". This time we entered the game without adjusting the picture quality and directly adopted the recommended configuration of the system, but set the frame rate limit to unlimited and control the resolution option. The average frame number of 1080p recommended frame is 153,1% Low frame is 97 frame, 2K resolution is 116frame, 1% Low frame is 88 frame.

In addition to frame rate performance, competitive games also attach great importance to game delay, which has a great impact on the accuracy of players' operations in the game. To this end, Nvidia has also launched a set of technology to optimize game latency, namely NVIDIA Reflex technology. One of the highlights of NVIDIA Reflex is that it can reduce latency even in games with higher resolution. In 3A games, due to the introduction of DLSS 3 frame generation technology, AI generates more extra frames, so the delay of the game is bound to be higher, so usually when you turn on the DLSS 3 option in the game, you will find that NVIDIA Reflex will also open automatically.

We are still testing online competitive games with the greatest impact. In the game quality setting options of "Forever robbery", you can find the option of NVIDIA Reflex. If it is not opened, then the delay of the game is basically above 30ms, and the experience of the game is still relatively large. Here CTOnews.com chooses to directly turn on Reflex+Boost mode for testing.

The measured results of FrameView are as shown in the figure. When the delay is 15ms at 1080p resolution, the 2K resolution only increases 2ms, and the effect is still obvious. Compared with the delay without NVIDIA Reflex, the delay has been halved. In addition, if the Reflex+Boost option is turned on and the frame insertion option is enabled at the same time, the game delay will directly rise to more than 40ms. In view of the fact that no matter 1080p or 2K resolution games can run to more than 100frames without opening the frame insertion option, you should be careful to turn on the frame insertion function in "Forever robbery".

On the "CS2" side, we also monitor and capture the game data with FrameView. The data in the first red box is the game resolution, it needs to be noted that the first resolution is wrong, the actual resolution is 1920x1080 full-screen window mode, and the data in the second red box is the average delay. At 1080p and 2K resolution, the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wuxing customized OC 16GB card can achieve the delay level of about 5ms. The impact on the operation of the game can be said to be minimal.

Next, we test two classic 3A games, the first is Tomb Raider: shadow, the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five-line customized OC 16GB runs an average of 193frames at the highest 1080p picture quality, and 1 Low frames are 148frames.

At the highest 2K resolution, the average number of frames of the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wushan five-line customized OC 16GB is 127,1% Low frames are 101frames.

In the classic western masterpiece "the Wild Dart: redemption 2", the average number of frames under the highest picture quality of 1080p is 100 frames, and 1% Low frame is 57 frames.

The average number of frames at the highest quality of 2K is 76 frames, and 1% Low frames are 35 frames. From this, we can see that the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card has been able to control these classic 3A masterpieces without turning on the light pursuit and DLSS 2 option.

Finally, let's take a look at the performance of Pure Light chasing game. In the "Metro: leaving" game, we choose 1080p resolution + Extreme image quality, light chase grade select Ultra,DLSS grade selection quality, and use the game's own benchmark tool for running points, with an average of 68 frames.

Then we switch to 2K resolution, change the DLSS level to balance, run the benchmark tool again, and the average number of frames is 66 frames. The light chase of "Metro: leaving" tests the hardware configuration very much. The iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wuxing customized version OC 16GB can basically run to more than 60 frames, and there is no problem in playing games freely.

As one of the first games to support DLSS3.5, Cyberpunk: 2077 is well suited as the ultimate challenge for game testing. DLSS 3.5 is the latest version of NVIDIA graphics enhancement technology, which uses dedicated hardware within each GeForce RTX GPU for real-time neural network rendering and intelligently reconstructs images to provide higher quality graphics and higher frame rates. It and DLSS 2 and DLSS 3, which have been widely used in games before, are not a single iterative relationship, but include and integrate with each other:

DLSS 2: Super resolution (Super Resolution) and DLAA

DLSS 3: collection of Super Resolution (Super Resolution), DLAA, frame Generation (Frame Generation), NVIDIA Reflex

DLSS 3.5: Super resolution (Super Resolution), DLAA, frame generation (Frame Generation), light reconstruction (Ray Reconstruction)

Among them, the newly introduced light reconstruction technology (Ray Reconstruction) has become the key to further improve the picture quality and performance of the game. Through the supercomputing training AI network, instead of the artificially designed noise reducer, it generates higher quality ray tracing graphics, which makes the game picture more realistic and the light more natural.

In the actual combat session, we can choose a new picture quality scheme in the game settings of "Cyberpunk: 2077", that is, ray tracing: speeding. Under this image quality scheme, the option of DLSS light reconstruction is changed from hidden to visible.

Turn off ray reconstruction

Turn on light reconstruction

So what kind of effect can it have after turning on this switch? If you look at these two pictures, the reflection of the slippery road after the rain in the same scene gives us the answer. After the light reconstruction is turned on, the clarity of the reflection is obviously improved, and there are many fewer artifacts in the past. Will such an obvious effect affect the performance of the game? Just take a test and you'll know.

First of all, in the 1080p super light tracking quality, do not turn on any DLSS option, the average number of frames is only 47 frames, not reaching the pass line of 60 frames.

Then we open DLSS 2 and select the quality level, and the average number of frames reaches 83 frames, which is already a level that can be played.

Then we further open DLSS 3, where the average number of frames is 125frames, and 1% Low frames also have 107frames, both of which are at the level of high-frame playability.

Finally, we switch to light tracking: overspeed image quality, check the DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction option, the average frame number is 121frames, 1% Low frames is 102frames, and the average frame number is only 4 frames when DLSS 2 + DLSS 3 is turned on, which can be regarded as the same performance.

In addition to game performance, creative production is also the strength of N cards. As a consumer graphics card, iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five elements customized OC 16GB also supports the installation of NVIDIA Studio drivers to accelerate more than 110most popular creative applications.

We first tested the performance of the iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Wushan five elements customized OC 16GB graphics card in the common modeling software Blender. The measured results are as follows. This group of results are enough to show that RTX 4060 Ti has an excellent acceleration effect in the modeling software, which can reach ten times the speed of the flagship CPU.

In addition, in terms of video and special effects work, Adobe family buckets are unavoidable. We ran the score through the Puget test plug-in, and the measured Puget for Affer Effects score was 1574.

Puget for Premiere Pro has a score of 1434 and can handle 8K video clips smoothly.

With the increasing popularity of ChatGPT and AI painting tools, more and more ordinary consumers begin to study these tools for creation. So we also try to test the AI Wensheng diagram through the most mainstream AIGC content creation tool Stable Diffusion. After selecting the graphics card as the rendering hardware, we entered 4 keywords and used a 3GB-sized CG archaic model as the training template to generate a 512-512-size image, which can be completed in less than 5 seconds.

The second time we increased the difficulty, increased the image size to 1200, and replaced the fourth keyword with a more difficult verb, which only took 16s. People usually want to use this kind of tool to make an avatar or wallpaper, which is very fast.

Summing up the whole experience, the biggest feeling that this iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB five elements joint graphics card gives me is attention. from the ceremonial sense of packaging and unpacking, the design sense of graphics card painting, to the exquisite lighting efficiency of the RGB, it is a proper table artifact, rather than a performance card for positioning cost-effective and rough materials. From the point of view of the audience who like the second dimension, people have always been worried about the joint products, because they are afraid that the design is very perfunctory, fortunately, the seven rainbow officials have shown sincerity.

In terms of performance, RTX 4060 Ti itself is a dessert-level positioning graphics card, which is very suitable for ordinary consumers. The overall performance of iGame GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Fushan five-element customized OC 16GB graphics card is also very excellent. 16GB's large display memory makes it more advantageous in performance than its competitors of the same level. So if you plan to buy a graphics card during Singles' Day and attach great importance to appearance, then iGame GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB Fushan five elements joint graphics card will be a good choice.
