Is it Worth Upgrading from RTX 4060 to RX 9060 XT for 4K Gaming?
Asked by

I've been using the RTX 4060 for the past two years for 4K 60FPS gaming on my TV, but I've often encountered low VRAM warnings. I'm considering switching to the RX 9060 XT, which has 16GB of VRAM and costs around 460 EUR. I could sell my RTX 4060 for about 300 EUR. Is this an upgrade worth making?
Answers
Honestly, are you even asking if it's worth it? The low VRAM warning is enough to call for an upgrade. If you want a smoother experience, the RX 9060 XT is the way to go.

If you're tired of those low VRAM warnings, definitely go for the upgrade! I got the RX 9060 XT last November, and I’ve had no issues playing Cyberpunk at 120 FPS. Even with high graphics, I never face stuttering like some 8GB VRAM users do. It’s totally worth it!

Who even pays 300 EUR for the 4060? It seems too high given the current market. I wouldn't spend that much for it.

Absolutely, upgrading to the RX 9060 XT would likely give you a noticeable performance boost. Gaming at 4K with only 8GB of VRAM can be pretty frustrating, especially as many newer games are demanding more memory. You’ll appreciate the extra VRAM for smoother gameplay.
PixelProwler12: Totally agree! Many games don’t handle low VRAM well, leading to crashes or stuttering, especially in heavy titles like Spider-Man 2. Trust me, upgrading will make a huge difference.

Are you seriously asking where to find a 9060 XT for 300 EUR? With its specs and current demand, it’s around 460 EUR or more. You might as well keep the 4060 as a backup unless you find a deal.
