🎮 Gaming Performance: Raster & DLSS-Enabled
📍 1080p Native
-
Delivers 30–40% faster performance than RTX 3060 and in many cases ~10–11% faster than RTX 3060 Ti.
-
In Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra 1080p: 87 FPS avg, compared to ~55 FPS on RTX 3060 Ti (~15% ahead).
-
Spider‑Man Remastered: 116 FPS avg with DLSS Perf + frame generation, outperforming RTX 3060 Ti by ~58%.
📍 1440p Native (Raster)
-
Shows ~6–8% faster average than RTX 3060 Ti, situating closer to RTX 3070-class in many games—but VRAM limits show in heavy titles.
-
Dying Light 2 at 1440p Ultra: ~3% faster over RTX 3060 Ti bonus, but in VRAM-heavy titles it can fall behind edge.
-
Forza Horizon 5 at 1440p Ultra: ~7% faster than RTX 3070 and ~18% ahead of RTX 3060 Ti.
📍 Ray Tracing / DLSS 3 + Frame Generation
-
Strong 1080p ray-tracing performance: Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra RT runs at ~87 FPS, ~19% ahead of RTX 3060 Ti.
-
DLSS 3 frame generation significantly boosts FPS in supported titles like Spider‑Man and Cyberpunk, especially at 1080p.
-
At 1440p RT, it sits just a few frames ahead of RTX 3060 Ti—but VRAM constraints may cap smoothness.
🧪 Synthetic & Power Efficiency
-
3DMark Time Spy Extreme (DX12): ~6,280 score, outperforming RTX 3060 Ti by ~12%; sits just below RTX 4070.
-
Power Draw: Total system load around 309 W, about 40 W less than RTX 3060 Ti => excellent power efficiency.
🧾 Summary Table
| Scenario | Avg FPS / Score | Relative Performance |

| DLSS3 + Frame Generation titles | 110–120+ FPS | Massive uplifts over 3060 Ti/RX 6600XT |
| 1440p native raster | ~70–90 FPS | ~6–8% faster than RTX 3060 Ti |
| 3DMark Time Spy Extreme (DX12) | ~6,280 | ~12% ahead of RTX 3060 Ti |
| System power draw (max load) | ~309 W | ~40 W lower than RTX 3060 Ti |
| VRAM headroom (8 GB limit) | May bottleneck at 1440p | 8 GB limits heavy workloads |
🗣️ Community & Expert Feedback
“...RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB exhibits very respectable performance, especially within a Full HD and even 2560×1440 mindset. Its shader engine performance is satisfactory, and the addition of DLSS3/frame generation aid substantially improves its functionality.” — Reddit consensus
“It excels at 1080p gaming, but the 8 GB VRAM holds it back for future 1440p titles.” — GamesRadar+ Verdict
✅ Final Verdict
The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB proves itself as a compelling 1080p champion, balancing high FPS, DLSS 3/frame generation support, and low power draw. It beats the 3060 Ti and sometimes rivals RTX 3070 for raster gaming. However, the 8 GB VRAM limitation and narrow memory interface curtail performance in demanding 1440p workloads and heavier future titles.
If your focus is competitive 1080p gaming with modern frame-gen features, the card delivers. But for smoother 1440p or long-term future-proofing, considering the 16 GB variant—or stepping up to an RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT—is advisable.
