MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB GDRR6 128-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink TORX Fan 4.0 Ada Lovelace Architecture Graphics Card (RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 2X Black 8G OC)

7月にMSI RTX 4060 Ti 8Gを6万2千円程度で購入
もう少し上のボードが欲しかったのですが、現実的にこの程度の金額が限界でした。
ゲームで利用していますが、機能及び性能も当方には十分です。

One of the things consistently overlooked in most ‘gamer’ reviews of this card is its low power consumption for the performance it delivers. This card is often compared against the older 3060Ti, against which it competes pretty well all around, but the price of this one is a few dollars more. What they never mention is that this card runs about 100watts lower in power consumption. This means you don’t need a big power supply and less cooling is needed.

Not everyone buys a graphics card with maximum gaming speed as the sole criteria. In my case I needed to update a 10-year old machine that was running a GTX 660Ti – yes that old. I don’t do much PC gaming but I do run a lot of creator related apps, like Autodesk Fusion 360, and Davinci Resolve. I needed to upgrade in order to run current CAD and video editing software reliably. The 4060Ti only needs a single PCIE power connector and its power consumption was no higher than my old card. This old PC also is running an i7-3770K, which is power hungry compared to current processors, and I was wary about adding to the PS load further. So the 4060Ti let me update graphics performance by an order of magnitude without needing to spend money on a bigger power supply or raise my electricity bill.

The performance boost was very good. The PCMARK 10 benchmark of this computer was raised from 3286 with the old 660Ti to 4005 by just changing to the 4060Ti. Not stellar, but enough to keep this 10-year old computer faster than 25% of the currently benchmarked machines out there. Graphics scores were almost 10X faster, but an old SATA HDD is still holding the machine back. And now my problems with creativity software performance have been eliminated.
