No it's their overclocking software where you download it and it has a profile you click to OC. It's pointless anyways since the increase is marginal at best and you'll always get a better result with a manual overclock of your own. Even undervolting might give you more performance as it might automatically boost the card higher thanks to lower thermals. Just a marketing gimmick imo as the 1-Click OC is +15 MHz…
Still though this is the lowest price I've seen for a 4060 and this card is good enough for 1080p gaming, just slightly slower than a 3060 Ti and with all the newest features available to it. 8GB of VRAM is not great though in 2024, but eh still good for entry level gaming with the newest tech. However there's better used options out there from NVIDIA or AMD if you're willing to give up on DLSS 3 Frame Generation by buying say a used 6700 XT for $380 AUD, faster and cheaper with 50% more VRAM. If you want NVIDIA, there's used 3060 Ti's for $400 AUD on eBay.
Also remember the VRAM is connected to a 128bit bus as well. So the bandwidth is lower, so this will affect games when the VRAM starts hitting maximum and then you rely on the bandwidth to shift the data into the VRAM, more bandwidth faster stuffing into VRAM.
Oh for sure it will affect performance, no doubt I mean you see it at 4K where the 3060 Ti is almost 20% faster, compared to 1080p where it was only around 10% faster, that's all thanks to higher quality textures stuffing into VRAM and requiring extra bandwidth. But Ada's cache offsets this somewhat, where the 3060 Ti has almost 65% more memory bandwidth, it obviously isn't a linear increase in performance having more memory bandwidth, but it definitely helps! Good point. :)
@KARMAAA: Yeah wish they lifted the cache on the 4070 Ti Super to the max on that die… but I guess that would cut to close to the 4080 Super then.
No, that is not correct.
The bottleneck when a graphics card needs to fetch data due to it not having enough VRAM is the PCIe bus, which with this cards PCIe 4.0 x8 connection, is only 16GB/s of bandwidth, which is many times less than the 272GB/s of bandwidth the 4060's VRAM has.@Namesareapain: Ah geez that’s right. Forgot that they gimped the pcie connection on this range.
Should of remembered that Asus model out there that include a SSD to take advantage of the leftover lanes as well.
Yes the gimped bus makes it slower.
hmm will definitely have to investigate the second hand market for my next card given these crazy prices haha
nature is healing
edit: FML just remembered that this die is actually a 3050-equivalent, not 3060.
This desktop 4060 is exactly the same die as the 4060 Mobile - that's how badly cut down it is
Could easily be a single slot half height card with single fan
The only low end 40 series card worth getting will be the 4060 Ti 16GB once it drops to $400 and replaces the 3060 12GB
4060ti 16gb currently sits at $750~, when do you think it will drop it $400?
probably ~$450-500 within 2 months. it's already been $599 recently.
Mid next year
It was already $599 a week and a half ago
I can see 3060 12G has the same price as this 4060, shall actually go to 3060?

Can I have game and movie on another monitor with this 4060?
don't see why not, I do this all the time with my 3070 at 1440p res.
Is the "1-click" OC a physical button on the GPU that overclocks the GPU?
