Overclocked RTX 4060 Ti Ray Tracing Performance – 1080p
We are going to focus on Ray Tracing 1080p gameplay performance with the Overclocked GeForce RTX 4060 Ti video card. We will include DLSS and FSR performance on the same graph in the games that are supported. We will use DLSS on NVIDIA GPUs and FSR on AMD GPUs. For video card comparisons we are using a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and Radeon RX 6650 XT video cards.
Returnal
Returnal was launched on the PC in February of 2023 and is based on Unreal Engine 4. The game supports real-time ray tracing effects, particle systems, and volumetric rendering. We utilize the graphics preset to set EPIC graphics settings with an unlocked framerate, and everything is enabled. For ray tracing tests we have enabled Ray Traced Shadows and Reflections at EPIC settings. We use the built-in benchmark.
In Returnal we have turned on EPIC Ray Tracing on Shadows and Reflections. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is playable at 84FPS. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti improves performance by 6% up to 89FPS. When overclocked the RTX 4060 Ti is 20% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti.
The Callisto Protocol
The Callisto Protocol was released in December of 2022 on the PC and is based on Unreal Engine 4. We run the game in DX12 mode with unlimited framerate, and all graphics settings enabled and at the highest graphics settings. This game supports ray tracing, and FSR upscaling only, we use FSR2 for testing. For Ray Tracing we enable Ray Traced Shadows, Ray Traced Transmission, and Ray Traced Reflections to High. We use the built-in benchmark.
In The Callisto Protocol, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is playable at almost 70FPS at 1080p with ray tracing. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti resulted in a pretty large performance uplift in this game particular game, with ray tracing turned on. We saw a 15% performance uplift with overclocking, bringing performance to 80FPS, which was large. When overclocked the RTX 4060 Ti is now 31% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti, which is commendable.
Chernobylite Enhanced Edition
Chernobylite was released on the PC in 2021, but the free Enhanced Edition update for the game was released in April 2022. The Enhanced Edition provides a visual overhaul of the game with better textures, plus introduces tessellation and ray tracing features. It features raytraced reflections, raytraced translucency, raytraced caustics, and raytraced dynamic diffuse global illumination. The game is based on Unreal Engine 4. For our Ray Tracing test, we have enabled the Ultra Ray Tracing option.
Chernobylite Enhanced Edition is playable at almost 60FPS at 1080p with Ultra Ray Tracing. Overclocking does help gameplay in this scenario, bringing performance over 60FPS and increasing performance by 8% which helps smooth out gameplay with Ray Tracing. When overclocked the RTX 4060 Ti is 37% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti which is impressive as an upgrade in performance.
Dying Light 2
Dying Light 2 was released in February 2022 on the PC and uses Techland’s C-Engine. The game supports Ray Tracing, DLSS, and FSR2. This game supports Ray Tracing environmental effects including Ray Traced Soft Shadows, Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion, Ray Traced Global Illumination, and Ray Traced Reflections. We utilize the built-in preset option to set “HIGH-QUALITY RAYTRACING” which enables the game’s highest graphics settings plus the environmental effects explained above at the highest values. The game is run in DX12 Ultimate mode with ASYNC Compute turned on. We use the built-in benchmark.
In Dying Light 2 the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is playable at 1080p with Ray Tracing at 66FPS. Overclocking the RTX 4060 Ti improves performance by 6%. When overclocked the RTX 4060 Ti is 18% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 was released in December 2020 and uses the REDengine 4. We have the game patched to version 1.62 and use the built-in benchmark. We test using the Graphics Preset option to set graphics settings. We use the Ray Tracing Graphics Preset of either: “Ray Tracing: Low”, or “Ray Tracing: Medium” or “Ray Tracing: Ultra” as indicated. This game supports DLSS and FSR2.
In Cyberpunk 2077 the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is not playable at 1080p with Ultra Ray Tracing. Unfortunately, overclocking doesn’t make it playable either, but we do see a 10% increase in performance with overclocking. When overclocked the RTX 4060 Ti is 29% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti.
