Better than the 4070 in Raster in most cases:

If you want Ray Tracing, its a battle
Alternative option is probably wait till 7800XT gets released then compare these 3 (if 6950XT is still around)

Use Radeon Chill to close the gap between the 4070 and the 6950XT on the power consumption difference

Read Linus tech review on 4060Ti best spend extra due to Ti 8gb bottleneck.

  Yeah, sadly 4060ti is barely better than 3060ti 😕

    40 series is so much cooler and quieter which is a huge plus. I used to have a 3080 and it sure could warm up a room.

    Yeah 3060ti whips 4060ti's butt half the time while the 3060ti is also cheaper and available on the 2nd hand market too
    
    The only reason to get a 40 series low/midrange is if power, AV1 encoding and RT(higher end cards of last gen will beat it at times) are essential to you.

      Also if you primarily play slow-paced games, DLSS frame gen on the 40XX series is a great tool to have.

        @Avantime: Fyi for those that don't know DLSS3 frame gen also increases lag with fake frames since then every 2nd frame is where your input matters

Do note the power draw can be quite high 335w (official numbers), you may want a beefier PSU to go with it.
