Reviews for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 are still under embargo, but the company has lifted a partial embargo that allows certain content creators to release limited performance reviews of the budget GPU. The partial embargo is limited to 1080p testing of Cyberpunk 2077, and Youtuber JayzTwoCents seems to have found that the Asus RTX 4060 Dual is terrible at overclocking in Cyberpunk 2077.
The model only gained 2% higher frame rates after overclocking, with a modest 100MHz core offset and a hefty 20% power increase over stock. The card still performs well over its predecessor at stock settings, but don't plan on getting an extra boost with overclocking — at least, not in Cyberpunk 2077.
Nvidia clearly picked Cyberpunk 2077 for this partial embargo lift to show off the RTX 4060's performance chops against its competitors (and predecessors). Cyberpunk 2077 is currently one of the most popular AAA titles for GPU benchmarking, and it shows off all of Nvidia's latest technology, including DLSS resolution upscaling, DLSS 3 frame generation, ray-tracing effects, and path-tracing effects.
