Gigabyte's Windforce OC is a factory-overclocked dual-fan RTX 4060 Ti.
Best for
- Budget 1080p builds.
Skip if
- Skip it if this is a deal-breaker for you: 8GB of VRAM may force lower texture settings in some recent games.
Why we like it
It was the least expensive 4060 Ti here at the time of writing. It carries 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit memory interface and a two-fan WINDFORCE cooling system. A metal back plate protects the card, and the maker lists DLSS 3 support with fourth-generation Tensor cores.
No dimensions are published for the Gigabyte 4060 Ti Windforce; get length and thickness from the maker's page first. Its power connector and recommended PSU are not published, so confirm both for the Gigabyte 4060 Ti Windforce with the maker. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the ASUS Dual 4060 Ti V2 was closest. If you want a confirmed cooler thickness, look to the ASUS Dual 4060 Ti V2 instead: it comes in at 2-slot, while this one gives no figure.
