Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti WINDFORCE OC 16G (GV-N406TWF2OC-16GD)

A small mid-class video card from the famous Taiwanese manufacturer Gigabyte, which is part of the universal Windforce 2023 line. Its key feature is the small but highly efficient WINDFORCE cooling system, which features dual fans with a unique blade design for efficient heat dissipation and low operating temperatures. The card also has a protective metal plate on the back, which increases its strength and durability.

And Dual BIOS support allows the user to switch between two different operating modes (note: quiet and powerful) without having to go into the BIOS settings. The manufacturer is positioning it as an affordable and compact replacement for GeForce video cards of previous generations, which do not support all modern NVIDIA developments, including separate cores for ray tracing, DLSS upscaler and the acclaimed FrameGen frame generation system.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti WINDFORCE OC 16G is powered by an Ada Lovelace series GPU with a maximum peak frequency of 2565 MHz and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. To connect the video card, the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is used, which ensures maximum compatibility with all modern motherboards. The model is positioned by the manufacturer as the optimal solution for games in 1080p and 1440p resolution, providing smooth gameplay with high FPS.

It is important to note that at peak load the GPU consumes an average of 120 W, so the user will not need to overpay additionally for an expensive and powerful power supply; a completely ordinary 500 W model will suffice. At the same time, the length of the card is a modest 20 cm, while occupying 2 slots in the motherboard, which increases its attractiveness in the eyes of people planning to build a moderately powerful compact PC for work or play.
