In what will likely be our sole RTX 4060 Ti partner card review, today we have assessed the Inno3D RTX 4060 Ti Twin X2, an MSRP card that is currently listed for pre-order at Overclockers UK for £389.99.
As AIB cards go, the Twin X2 is a decent offering, and were it any other GPU, we'd give it a solid recommendation. Gaming performance is essentially identical to the Founders Edition, as are out of the box thermals and noise levels. When testing thermal performance with noise normalised at 40dBa, we even saw a small win for the Twin X2, as it ran about 2C cooler than the Founders Edition.
In terms of the card itself – forgetting the fact that this is an RTX 4060 Ti for now – the only real problem I have with it is that the design is perhaps slightly bland, though of course that's just my personal opinion. It's undoubtedly less well-built than the Founders Edition however, with a plastic shroud compared to the FE's premium aluminium body, and with both cards currently retailing at the same price – with so little else to split between these two cards – that could be enough to tip you towards the Founders.
The main reason we can't be more enthusiastic about this partner card however, is that the underlying GPU is just not something we can recommend. We won't rehash all the points here, but as you've already seen from our day 1 RTX 4060 Ti review, we believe this GPU is fundamentally flawed for several reasons, including the 8GB frame buffer and incredibly lacklustre performance increase versus the previous generation.
Of course, that's hardly Inno3D's fault, and in truth they've built an effective cooler for the GPU they were given. It's just a shame we can't speak more highly of it due to the lacklustre AD106 silicon it houses.
The Inno3D RTX 4060 Ti Twin X2 is up for pre-order at Overclockers UK for £389.99 HERE.
Pros
- Very good thermal performance out of the box.
- Whisper quiet.
- Slightly more effective cooling than the Founders Edition when noise-normalised.
- Overclocked reasonably well.
Cons
- It's still an RTX 4060 Ti – a product we just can't recommend.
- Slightly bland appearance.
- Founders Edition has a much more premium build at the same price.
KitGuru says: The Twin X2 is a decent AIB card, but ultimately we can't recommend anyone buy an RTX 4060 Ti right now.
