We had recently discussed the embargo dates in relation to the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, some cards that have seen their embargo dates advanced due -supposedly- to the fact that the competition from AMD is being stronger than expected, although there are probably more internal factors that benefit NVIDIA in this regard.
However, this was not the only change made in this regard, since some youtubers, such as JayzTwoCents, have been requested by the brand itself to provide some preliminary performance results, so that users can get an idea of the performance of the RTX 4060 before all the reviews related to this GPU come out.
We can consider this a “thank goodness”, since as we can see in the video on these lines, we find a graphics card that, despite its price, is unable to outperform the RTX 3060 Ti, a last generation graphics card with which it shares a class -giving the benefit of being a Ti version- although luckily, Yes, it is above the standard RTX 3060, as some leaks predicted.
It is also mentioned as the Raytracing on this graphics card is little more than atrociousso we will depend entirely on DLSS 3.0 to have a playable experience, something that should not be the case with a graphics card of 329 euros, especially considering that NVIDIA has messed with the settings that should be used in this preview to show the performance of the card, also delegitimizing in part the work of the Youtubers who have decided to show this -biased- information to the public in advance.
Because no, it is not a review to use, but a preview, which has also been made with some settings “approved by NVIDIA” that they optimize performance as much as possible to stand out against both AMD and the company’s previous generation of graphics cards, in the eyes of giving a better image while trying to stay above other models available on the market.
In general, we can see how There are several YouTube channels that have had permission to show the performance of this graphics card in a limited way.but taking into account the limitation of games that exist -only Cyberpunk 2077 is allowed to be shown- and the limitation of settings and configurations that can be used, once seen a video we have seen them all, at the same time as noneso the most reasonable thing to do is to wait for the full reviews to be released, either on the same channels or in any other way that you have the freedom to decide which games and which settings to use.
Editor’s Comment
Personally, it does not seem acceptable to me that NVIDIA allows performance results to be displayed as coercion so that the assigned Youtubers can have more visits, since, although there are trusted media, such as JayzTwoCents himself, who have accessed This really shows how NVIDIA’s marketing machine works.
It is to be expected that hundreds or thousands of users would end up purchasing one of these graphics cards in favor of a previous generation model, only to end up with worse performance for the amount they could have spent, entirely based on these results that differ little from a marketing slide that NVIDIA itself could have shown.
In short, with the restrictions imposed by NVIDIA, we find that it is Youtubers instead of NVIDIA engineers who are pulling these results, but with the same result as any launch slide.
