So I am looking for a 4060 but cant find any with 16gb graphics, so found only 4060 ti that got 16gb but its 1.5x the cost of 4060 8gb. Kindly help. My current graphics card cant even handle unreal tutorial loading and shows "out of VRAM" every time. My main goal is to have a graphics card that will last me atleast 5 years and can survive the humid condition of Kolkata for 10-12 hours per day usage.
  1. What is your budget?
    • 30k (40k is upper limit)

    • Looking to buy a graphics card that will last me atleast 5 years. I have usually always used zotac because of the 5 years warranty and easy RMA from my location.
  5. Is this going to be your final configuration or you would be adding/upgrading a component in near future. If yes then please mention when and which component
    • I will be upgrading my CPU and MOBO in 2 years rest will be same.

you can also look into Intel Arc 770 which is around 31k if Nvidia is not the priority.
 
You can go for used gpu also if you like 3060 12gb would suffice your needs i guess as you are using 1050ti currently. Used 3060 will cost you around 15-17k depending on brand, model and warranty.
If going somewhat higher and more Vram is requirement then 3080 10gb and 12gb variant(hard to find) will be best bet under 30k.
Same Way used AMD 6600xt/ 6700xt and 6800xt are there if you don't constraint yourself with Nvidia only and all 3 of these have good amount of Vram and cost from 15k-30k.
If u only wanna go with New then Nvidia 40series and AMD 7x series is there. Buy depending on your budget and need.
 
If you're buying new now, Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB looks like the current best option within your budget. You can check pcpricetracker.in for options.

If you need Nvidia, RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB can be had for a 3-4K premium, but it's substantially worse in raw performance, so looking for used higher tier options could be a good idea.
