The Nvidia RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti are the newest mid-range 1080p gaming graphics cards designed for the latest titles like Horizon Forbidden West. They support all the new technologies in graphics rendering, like DLSS with frame generation, better ray tracing performance, and more, making them some of the best GPUs for playing the most demanding titles in the market.

However, the cards aren't a massive upgrade over the last generation in terms of rasterization performance. This makes it necessary to scale down some settings to get the best framerates. This guide will list the best combinations for the new Ada Lovelace-based mid-range GPUs.

Both versions of the RTX 4060 Ti are significantly more potent than non-Ti ones. The cards can comfortably play titles like Horizon Forbidden West at 1440p with DLSS frame generation turned on. You can also get a respectable 4K gaming performance from the cards, but that will come at the cost of some visual fidelity.

The best settings combination for the RTX 4060 Ti is as follows:


Display

  • Monitor: Primary monitor
  • Window mode: Fullscreen
  • Display resolution: 2560 x 1440
  • Aspect ratio: Auto
  • Cinematics letterboxing: On
  • Refresh rate: 60 Hz
  • VSync: On
  • Nvidia Reflex low latency: On
  • Dynamic range: As per your preference
  • Color blind mode: As per your preference
  • Dynamic resolution scaling: 100
  • Anti-aliasing: Off
  • Upscale method: DLSS
  • Upscale quality: Dynamic
  • DLSS frame generation: Off
