This article takes a deep dive into the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 WINDFORCE OC 8G (model GV-N4060WF2OC-8GD), using only the values on GIGABYTE's official specification page.

Overview

The GV-N4060WF2OC-8GD is a GIGABYTE graphics card built on the GeForce RTX™ 4060. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit memory bus and 3072 CUDA® cores.

GIGABYTE lists the card size as "L=192 W=120 H=41 mm", a recommended PSU of 450W and a single "8 pin*1" power connector. The short version: it is an easy card to build around, thanks to its small size and modest power requirements, and the fit conditions are easy to check for compact cases and for upgrading an existing PC.

Compatibility Guide

These are the fit checks that follow from the official values.

  • Case size check: The official card size is "L=192 W=120 H=41 mm": length (L) 192 and width (W) 120, plus "H=41", all in millimetres. Compare the length with your case's maximum GPU length (or with the conditional limit that applies with front fans or a radiator, if the case gives one).
  • Supplementary power: The Power Connectors entry is "8 pin*1". Make sure your PSU has a cable for the card's 8 pin connector.
  • PSU capacity: The recommended PSU is 450W.
  • Motherboard side: The card bus is listed as "PCI-E 4.0".
  • Board form: PCB Form is listed as "ATX".

Product Info

Here are the key official values, with what each one means for a buyer.

  • Core Clock: The official Core Clock reads "2475 MHz (Reference card: 2460 MHz)": this card's value, with the reference card value listed in brackets.
  • Memory: 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, with a memory clock of 17 Gbps.
  • CUDA cores: Listed as 3072.
  • Display outputs: The Output entry has two lines, "DisplayPort 1.4a2" and "HDMI 2.1a2", so there are two DisplayPort and two HDMI outputs. Multi-view is 4.
  • Resolution: Digital max resolution is 7680x4320.
  • APIs: DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6.

Best Use Cases

  • Builders who want fewer power cables. The power connector is "8 pin*1" and the recommended PSU is 450W. It is a good fit for reusing an existing power supply.
  • Cases with a tight GPU length limit. The short length makes it an easy candidate when the case leaves little room for the card.
  • People who want both DisplayPort and HDMI. There are two of each. That makes it easy to mix monitors and a TV in a multi-screen setup.

Things to Consider

Here is what to check before buying, following the official values.

First, the model number. The official model is GV-N4060WF2OC-8GD. Make sure the store listing shows the same model number.

Second, the clock figures. The official Core Clock entry gives this card's value with the reference card value alongside it.

When comparing cards, compare like with like.

Third, video memory. The card has 8 GB.

If you plan memory-hungry creative work or heavy use of high-resolution textures, confirm that the capacity is enough before you buy.

Finally, the box contents. The item on the official accessories entry is a Quick guide.

Check that your power supply's own cable can feed the card's power connector. See the maker's official spec table for full details.
