NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
The RTX 4060 is an efficient 1080p card with just 115W board power, an 8GB buffer, PCIe 4.0, and a 550W PSU recommendation at the beginner tier, and at 227mm it fits compact builds well. Its low power draw makes it a tidy pick for small-PSU systems. Anyone shopping near RTX 5050/5060 money should weigh those newer-gen options at similar pricing first.
