Is this STILL the Fastest SFF GPU??? - RTX 4060 Low-Profile Review
36,797
Published 2024-05-01
In the world of Small Form Factor GPUs, there aren't a ton of options, especially if you're aiming for high performance. While cards like the RX 6400 and Intel A380 exist, they even struggle at 1080P gaming. Then along came the RTX 4000 ADA Generation SFF, and brought with it a level of performance and size never before seen together.
But it is also $1250.
But, now we have the RTX 4060 Low Profile from Gigabyte, and it runs only $319 at retail. Is this the SFF GPU of my dreams, or is it just another compromise in a long list of sub-par performers?
But first... What am I drinking???

TL;DW - do you have infinite money? No? Buy the 4060 and never look back
-
The 4000 was almost perfect! ✅ Lots of memory ✅ Bus powered ✅ ECC memory ✅ Small form factor ❌vGPU support for Prodmox Jeff - please tell me you have a fix for the last one. 😅

"In the end, the conclusion should surprise nobody". True. But I still appreciate the time you took to prove it.
-
Still waiting on a Voodoo 5500 benchmark :P
-
As a SFF only builder who appreciates low wattage draw and reduced heat generation, thank you very much for the comparison. As a non gamer, I would appreciate some photo processing speed comparisons such as RAW to JPEG time for 50 to 100 images.
-
I got my 4060 LP back in September - I had to order it from the states via Amazon UK. It's pretty damn good for such a small card.
-
Been waiting for this since the announcement 😁 Keep it up man! Loving the content 👌
-
You do GPU reviews correctly. The way they should be and i really appreciate that.
-
This is the video I've been waiting for, Thank you
-
Thank you very much for this comparison!
-
I love your reviews and videos in general! Do you think you can through some Premiere, Davinci Resolve and Blender benchmarks in there for the future? This should stretch the Videomemory if done right.
-
I see you post, i make my tea and start to watch with you. Cant drink, but I still enjoy!
-
Great video Jeff!
-
Great video Jeff. Any chance you'd be willing to do a comparison of the 2000, 4000, 4060 LP, and maybe any other LP/SFF cards you can get your hands on, in regards to their performance vs cost for things like video transcoding, CAD, 3D rendering? I'm working on building a small server on a budget for hosting Plex/Jellyfin for a handful of people (up to maybe 5 or 6 simultaneous streams, depending on cost) and I'm not sure yet which way I should go in regards to transcoding. Most of my content is stored in 4k and is streamed to a range of devices from tablets to TVs.

Shuttle PC lol that brings back memories. Those piped heatsinks were cool though.
-
Great review, informative, fun and relevant to a tech nerd like me.
-
While on its face this comparison may seem crazy, it’s the exact comparison we all would have done in our heads. Thanks for making the magic happen, as always!
-
Thank you for this, i hate how few video reviews/testings these A-Cards get.
-
Great comparison! I'd be very interested to see how they compare in workstation type loads.
-
Great video. is it possible to benchmark the fastest SFF gpu for AI inference tasks on LLM and SDXL. Let’s put the RTX4060lp vs RTX A2000-12GB vs RTX 4000 on the track. Really interested to see which gpu provides the $/perf value.
