NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti vs NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.

The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super sits one tier above the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti in NVIDIA's RTX 4000 line-up (High-end vs Mid-range), so the question is whether the step up is worth it. Against the RTX 4060 Ti, the RTX 4070 Ti Super costs $350 more at launch MSRP ($799 vs $449, 78% more), matches its 16 GB of VRAM and draws 120W more at rated TDP (285W vs 165W).

Same generation (RTX 4000): This is a tier step-up comparison — the higher card adds performance for a premium. Worth it depends on your resolution target and workload.

Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti

16GB variant advantage

The 16GB model avoids the 8GB limitation that plagued the base model — still relevant for 1440p gaming.

165W TDP

Very low power draw — works with virtually any modern PSU.

RTX 5060 Ti is better value new

With GDDR7, DLSS 4 and a $429 MSRP, the RTX 5060 Ti is the clear choice for new buyers — new 4060 Ti 16GB units cost around $630–$640 as of October 2026.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Used market only

New units sell from around $1,080 and used units run around $750–$850 as of October 2026 — at or above the $799 MSRP. Only worth it if a used unit turns up well below MSRP.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as the RTX 5070 Ti — no VRAM compromise versus the successor.

Proven performance

Over 2 years of driver maturity ensures excellent stability across all titles.

Timing: When to Buy

Released May 24, 2023, the RTX 4060 Ti has been on the market for 3 years 5 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, which launched Apr 16, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.

Released Jan 24, 2024, the RTX 4070 Ti Super has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, which launched Feb 20, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.

Both cards are superseded. If you're buying new, their replacements — the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.

Deals & Pricing

At launch MSRP the RTX 4060 Ti is $350 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super ($449 vs $799, 44% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $28.1 for the RTX 4060 Ti and $49.9 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super — the RTX 4060 Ti gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.

RTX 4060 Ti (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — scarce new 16GB units sell around $630–$640 as of October 2026, roughly 40% above the $449 MSRP. Do not buy new; only consider used units well below $200.

RTX 4070 Ti Super (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — new retail prices start around $1,080, at least 35% above the $799 MSRP, due to scarcity. Avoid new purchases. Used units have risen to around $750–$850 as of October 2026; only consider one below $600.

Who Should Choose Each

Choose the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti if…

  • you want lower power draw — 165W vs 285W rated TDP
  • you find one on clearance or second-hand for clearly less than the RTX 4070 Ti Super costs

Choose the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super if…

  • you want newer GDDR6X memory rather than GDDR6
  • you want our higher-rated card of the two — 8.3 vs 7.3 editor score
  • you want the newer card — it launched 8 months later
  • you want the higher-tier card — High-end rather than Mid-range
  • you find one on clearance or second-hand for clearly less than the RTX 4060 Ti costs

Our Take

Our pick: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Is the RTX 4070 Ti Super worth $350 more? That's 78% on top of the RTX 4060 Ti's launch MSRP, and it buys you the High-end tier; on the data we track it also moves to GDDR6X memory (from GDDR6), carries a higher editor score (8.3 vs 7.3) and is 8 months newer. The cost side: 120W more rated TDP to cool and power.

Our editor scores favour the RTX 4070 Ti Super (8.3 vs 7.3), so that's our pick if the budget stretches — otherwise the RTX 4060 Ti is the sensible saving.
