Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB seemingly underperforms in opposition to its 8GB variant
It might not be well worth the extra value
Lately, it was believed that Nvidia could be launching a 16GB model of its RTX 4060 Ti. The consensus was not nice; even board companions didn’t seem too captivated with Staff Inexperienced’s newest Ada Lovelace providing. A lot of that comes all the way down to the worth. Nonetheless, it now appears to be like as if issues could also be worse than first appeared.
In keeping with a report from TechPowerUp, the 16GB variant of the Nvidia graphics card is worse than its 8GB predecessor. That is regardless of the truth that the previous has double the VRAM (although the whole lot else is an identical), however a take a look at carried out by MSI reveals the newer mannequin underperforms.

Admittedly, it’s not by an enormous margin. A now-deleted video (that, in itself, is fascinating) benchmarked the 16GB model in opposition to the 8GB, exhibiting that framerates in video games like Cyberpunk 2077, F1 2023, and Rainbow Six: Siege had been lagging barely behind the latter mannequin. Twitter person @monomo_us was capable of screengrab one a part of the take a look at, which reveals the outcomes.
Why is the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB performing much less?
It could not appear to be a lot to see the framerate for Cyberpunk drop from 91.4 on the 4060 Ti 8GB to round 90.56 on common for the 16GB model, nevertheless it’s price remembering that that is imagined to be a greater graphics card. With twice the reminiscence, it ought to, in a perfect world, be outperforming its 8GB sibling.
In keeping with PC Gamer, there could also be a few causes for this. It might be reminiscence latency within the newer Nvidia card. It might be one thing to do with Home windows, nevertheless it’s not clear what precisely. It is also the extra wattage on the 16GB mannequin. At 165W (in comparison with 160W), it might be experiencing “energy limitations beneath demanding circumstances.”
In any case, it doesn’t look nice for Nvidia. It’s already been established that hardly anybody is utilizing the RTX 4000 collection in the intervening time, probably due to the worth. In brief: this era of GPU tech doesn’t appear to be going properly for Jen-Hsun “Jensen” Huang and co.
