The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 isn't a bad graphics card. It offers a competent 1080p gaming experience and it brings the best features of the Ada Lovelace architecture including DLSS 3 down to a price point that will appeal to long suffering gamers holding out for an upgrade at a worldly price.
The problem is, it doesn't do enough to impress in the way it should. And its all about the name and its price. The underlying AD107 GPU—if it followed its GA107 predecessor's product positioning—means it should be called the RTX 4050. If that was the case, and it was priced at $249 or lower, it would have received a very different reception.
