First of all, the first test project uses 4K Blackmagic RAW images and has a Wedding_Heavy_Styles timeline. This video uses a lot of Resolve effects, such as OFX: Light Rays / Glow / Sketch, etc., to output a very high-style video type.
Bride_FaceRefine_Selective_Color uses Face Refinement for face tracking and highlights the main bride with color; both 50% Retime and Optical Flow Enhanced Better use Optical Flow technology to reduce the image speed by 50%.
SuperScale2x 4K Source uses 4K ProRES source video to produce 4K video output of 2x Zoom In subject; SuperScale4x HD_Source uses HD H.264 source video, and uses Resolve Super Scale to output 4K video.
RTX 4060 Ti is not a problem for general audio and video output performance, but if you want faster output speed or larger memory, you may want to consider specifications above RTX 4070 Ti.

The second test is the AV1 and HEVC encoding test with dual NVENC encoding. The test project is a 44-second short film from the Blender Open Movie Project “Tears of Steel”, and has 8k Prores442HQ 30FPS and 4K Prores422HQ 30FPS videos, available To test the output performance of HEVC, AV1 encoding.
Output settings mainly use NVIDIA Encoder, Quality: Restrict to 80000 Kb/s, Encoding Profile: Main, Rate Control: Constant Bitrate, Preset: Faster, Tuning: High Quality, Two Pass: Disable and other output settings.
In terms of performance, the speed of RTX 4060 Ti is also quite good in 4K output, but it takes a relatively long time to process 8K, but it also retains the AV1 audio and video codec function, allowing creators to use better video encoding for streaming.

The average performance of 10 AAA games is also tested with 1440p and 1080p special effects fully turned on. In this test, only F1 2021 uses the ray tracing function, and the rest of the games have no ray tracing and DLSS acceleration to test the actual traditional rendering game performance of the GPU.
The game test list includes the entry-level “F1Ā® 22”, “Tomb Raider: Shadow”, “Death Stranding”, “Gears of War 5”, “The Division 2”, “Horizon: Waiting for Dawn”, and the performance-heavy ” Borderlands 3″, “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age”, “Red Blood 2” and “God of War” and other tests.
The RTX 4060 Ti achieved an average performance of 93.68 FPS in 1440p and AAA games, and 130.69 FPS in 1080p. Many games can achieve stable game performance without DLSS acceleration enabled.

11 Light Tracing DXR Games Tested, Joining Game of the Year The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, New Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, and NVIDIA’s Modified Portal with RTX The light-chasing version also includes “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077”, “Control”, “Watch Dogs: Legion of Freedom”, “Spider-Man: Miles Moras”, “Marvel Interstellar Attack Team”, ” Far Cry 6″ and other games for testing.
Although “Microsoft Flight Simulator” does not support ray tracing, it enables DLSS 3 acceleration, so it is also organized in this chart. The test uses 1440p and 1080p resolutions. In addition to the highest settings of special effects/ray tracing, DLSS acceleration will also be enabled. For detailed settings, please refer to the chart description.
The RTX 4060 Ti achieved an average performance of 88.8 FPS in 1440p and ray chasing games, and 118.6 FPS in 1080p. Under 1440p resolution, “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077” has an average of 106.4 FPS, and “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” has an average of 84 FPS, but “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” has a poor light-tracing performance optimization, only an average of 50 FPS.
To put it simply, if the game supports DLSS3 or FSR acceleration, the RTX 4060 Ti can also play light-tracking masterpieces at the highest setting of 1440p resolution special effects, and of course 1080p resolution is not a problem.

ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4060 Ti 8GB power consumption and temperature measurement
The power consumption and temperature test of the graphics card is tested using Time Spy Stress test, Furmark and “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077”. When measuring power consumption, use the PACT tool provided by NVIDIA to monitor the wattage provided by the PCIe slot and the power supply 12V.
In terms of graphics card temperature, TUF Gaming RTX 4060 Ti 8GB OC maintains a maximum temperature of 60.5Ā°C in the stress test, while the temperature of the 2077 game is slightly lower by 54Ā°C, and the overall temperature performance is even better than that of the original version.
In terms of power consumption, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB OC has a maximum power consumption of 171.3W, while the simulation game Time Spy has an average power consumption performance of 119.6W and 2077 average 142.6W, so that players do not need to replace the power supply when upgrading the graphics card.
ā Graphics card temperature and power consumption test.
Summarize
TUF Gaming RTX 4060 Ti 8GB OC graphics card can meet the needs of 1440p and 1080p games. In the face of AAA masterpieces, 1080p averages 130.69 FPS and 1440p averages 93.68 FPS. After the next-generation light-chasing games are accelerated by DLSS, the average 1080p can reach 118.6 FPS , 1440p average game performance of 88.8 FPS.
The combination of TUF military style 30cm long, 3.12-slot thick, 3 axial fans and heat sink allows the GPU to reach a maximum temperature of only 60.5Ā°C during the stress test, allowing players to maintain a relatively quiet gaming experience when gaming ;In addition, the RTX 4060 Ti’s TGP is only 160W, and only one PCIe 8 pin is needed for power supply. Players do not need to worry about insufficient power supply when upgrading the graphics card.
However, the price of this overclocked version of TUF Gaming RTX 4060 Ti 8GB OC graphics card in Taiwan is 15,990 yuan, which may be slightly higher for 2K players. If it is 1080p players, it is recommended to wait for the RTX 4060 in July.
As for whether to buy a new card or an old one, from the authorās point of view, DLSS 3 is really powerful. If your favorite new games are supported, you must buy a new generation of graphics card, but if your favorite games are old games, you might as well wait for RTX The 3060 series has been cleared, and I look forward to the price of RTX 4060 Ti returning to the sweet spot.
