3060 Ti vs 4060 Ti

[Joni_78]

My main PC has Asus dual-rtx3060ti-o8g-v2

I bought this for my another PC MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ti VENTUS 2X BLACK 16G OC

I started to think swapping 3060 Ti with this but 4060 Ti is really small so I was wondering if it is any better than that Asus 3060Ti?

If you already bought it, why not try it out for yourself?

You're talking 2 different generations.

I would not like to open my main PC if it is not worth swapping these. So then I would just add it into the PC I intended to add it.

Thanks I'll guess it is slightly better then. I was just starting to wonder because of the difference in bus width. Only 128bit in 4060Ti. Also my 3060 Ti is really big compared to this 4060 Ti from MSI.

Not slightly better, very much better in terms of cost of performance. 

While the actual gains are only in the 15% range, the biggest is (on average) 22% less power draw to achieve better results.

Like Steven said, it's very slight..

There really isn't much of a perceptible difference but the 16gig version will be far better in case you want to run things like high-res texture packs. Texture processing is very light on the GPU but it does require more VRAM. 

A big advantage for the 4060 Ti is that it consumes a lot less power.

not a good idea to use a biased website like UserBenchmark I'd say. I know it's an Nvidia vs Nvidia comparison in this case but the workload they use is hardly taxing. I'd rather use Time Spy scores:

userbenchmark is a biased website

I only use it to get the point across. I don't care if they are biased. There are 100 other sites, just google. As everyone else said, the gain isn't that much except for VRAM.

There is one advantage overlooked, if a game supports DLSS 3, which only a small number of games support but would give those games a noticeable boost.
