Need help in deciding between 3060(12gb) and 4060(8gb)

I’d lean towards the RTX 3060 (12GB) here. The extra 4GB VRAM really helps in VRAM-heavy titles—especially at 1080p with high textures or 1440p gaming. There are even scenarios where the 3060 performs more consistently than the 3070 just because the 3070 runs out of VRAM.

Unless DLSS 3 is a must-have, I’d still pick the 3060 for better long-term headroom.
That said, if any recent driver/optimization updates have improved the 4060’s handling in VRAM-heavy scenarios, would love an update from someone more in the loop.

3060 has access to both DLSS 3 and 4 upscaling. It doesn’t have access to DLSS Frame Generation.

So getting a RTX 3060 12GB @ 22k is better right than RX 6600XT 8GB right now as my AMD GPUs warranty expired?
For my 1440p 144Hz gaming?

85

I myself own a 3060 12gb hence I can say it does a pretty good job. I’m not saying others don’t but it’s just my opinion

I think a mod needs to close this thread. The new TE update is kind of confusing

In any forum the thread can be closed only by mod/admin. The new TE update is migrating from Xenforo forum software to Discourse forum software which is much more active in development & supporting newer features (kind of like moving from windows 7 to 10/11, many don’t like it but it is inevitable in the long term).
