The RTX 4060 graphics card is one of the most popular ways into modern NVIDIA gaming, and for good reason. It targets 1080p, supports ray tracing and DLSS, and runs efficiently. Below we cover what it does well, where its limits are, and the PCs in our range that come with one fitted, ready to plug in and play.
Why Choose An RTX 4060 Graphics Card?
NVIDIA built the RTX 4060 on its Ada Lovelace architecture, the same generation as the RTX 4080 SUPER. That brings a few useful features:
- DLSS 3: AI upscaling plus frame generation can raise frame rates in supported games.
- Ray tracing: more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections, best paired with DLSS.
- AV1 encoding: handy for streaming and recording with less impact on performance.
- Efficiency: modest power draw keeps heat and fan noise in check.
You can compare the full line-up on NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics cards page.
What Resolution Suits It?
1080p is the sweet spot. Most current games run smoothly at high settings, and esports titles can push well past 100 frames per second. At 1440p an RTX 4060 graphics card can still cope, though you will lean more on DLSS and lower some settings in demanding games.
The standard RTX 4060 has 8GB of VRAM. That is fine for 1080p, but the latest games with very high texture settings can push past it, so dropping textures a notch sometimes helps.
Our PCs With An RTX 4060 Graphics Card
Two systems in our range list the RTX 4060 in their specs:
- The Bedrock Opal Gaming PC (£1,095) pairs it with a 1TB Gen4 M.2 SSD for fast loading. Its tagline sums it up: modern gaming with a seriously strong foundation.
- The Obsidian Bundle (£995) is a complete RTX setup with an RTX 4060, 16GB DDR4 and a 1TB M.2 drive, ideal if you are starting from scratch.

Alternatives Worth A Look
If you want a newer GPU, the RTX Gaming PC uses an RTX 5060 with a 1TB Gen4 M.2. If extra VRAM matters for 1440p, the Titan Gaming PC has an RX 9060 XT 16GB. Keep an eye on our gaming PC deals too.
RTX 4060 Graphics Card FAQs
Is an RTX 4060 graphics card good for 1440p?
It can handle 1440p in many games, especially with DLSS switched on, but it is happiest at 1080p.
Does it support ray tracing?
Yes. It has dedicated RT cores, and DLSS helps offset the performance cost of ray tracing.
Is 8GB of VRAM enough?
For 1080p gaming it usually is. Some new titles need texture settings reduced to stay within it.
