These are important cards, and messing up the next one would be a disaster.
The RTX 4060 is not a disaster.
And thats not even when its actively taking steps backward: theres been a 12GB RTX 3060 for yonks.

Why is the RTX 4060 limited to 8GB?
At least it doesnt pull anRTX 4080and jack up the price.
If you cant quite budget for anRTX 4060 Ti, its little brother already looks like a deal.

The RTX 4060 is alright, but rarely more than that.
Its better than the RX 7600 for ray tracing, too.
The RX 7600 cant do this.
The RTX 3060 cant do this.
The RTX 4060 can, and is currently the cheapest possible route into giving your PC DLSS 3 compatibility.
All the same, the RTX 4060s native performance shouldnt amaze anyone.
It generally scores bigger, better leads over the Arc A750 than at 1440p, too.
The RTX 4060s advantage in this arena therefore can’t be discounted entirely.
As at 1440p, the RTX 4060 also trounces the RX 7600 for ray tracing in general.

DLSS 3 games are the exception but, again, there are only so many.
Not when the best single reason to buy one is a souped-up upscaler.
Individual successes, like efficiency and DLSS 3, do a lot of heavy lifting for the RTX 4060.

Just perhaps not in the ways that everyone will want, or appreciate.
