Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 4060

Ultra-low 115W TDP

One of the most efficient GPUs ever — no external power connector needed on some AIB models.

DLSS 3

Frame generation extends the card's 1080p capabilities.

RTX 5060 is better value new

The RTX 5060 launched at the same $299 price with GDDR7 and DLSS 4 — the 4060 only makes sense used at well below $150.

Intel Arc A770

16GB GDDR6 at $349

16GB VRAM at the $349 price point — more than the B580 (12GB) and any NVIDIA card at this tier.

Continued driver support

Intel released driver 32.0.101.8626 in March 2026, with ongoing optimisations for DX12 and Vulkan titles.

XeSS upscaling

Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
