The PNY one has a few bad reviews but I didn’t see any on ASUS.

    I’d just get the cheaper one unless Asus’ cooler is noticeably better.

    Btw, PNY is 5 years older than Asus as a company, with their HQ in New Jersey while Asus’ in Taiwan. RMA claim for PC parts need to back to HQ if retailer or distributor don’t support warranty claim.

    Edit: mixed up, founded in New York, HQ in New Jersey

  2. did the 4060 have massive price slash or something?

    isn’t the 4060 is one of the worse product ever in this generation for it near 0% improvement and being overpriced

    and why 7 out of 10 post on pcmr about buying gpu have the 4060?

  3. trashpanda89

    PNY in general is absolutely fine, it’s an underrated brand.

  4. Dbear_son

    Asus is not reputable
    They spend more on marketing
    They add that into the cost of the product

  5. BradyB889

    For that price just get second hand 3080 or 3070 from eBay or marketplace and get way more bang for your buck.

  6. nahhhh you should just get a 130$ brand new rx 6600 and show the greedy nvidia a big middle finger!

    PNY is better, mate.

    They are similar to what EVGA used to be, in the since they are exclusive to Nvidia for GPUs. About the same build quality to.

    But 400 for a xx60ti is overpriced.

  8. Toasted_Beans1

    I had multiple PNY cards and they’re fine

  9. ChaoGardenChaos

    Or you could save money and get a better GPU by switching to team red.

  10. Mediocre_Machinist

    PNY is equally reputable to ASUS, or perhaps better.

  11. Swimming_Profile5757

    The pny card will do just fine pny is a board partner with nvidia so pny cards are just as reputable

  12. DotoriumPeroxid

    PNY is extremely fine. They are a reputable retailer and an official Nvidia partner. What you pay extra for with ASUS is the brand name.

  13. I’m getting comments deleted for literally sharing the exact link Amazon gives me.

    XFX 6750 XT is $319.99 on Amazon. Sorry, I tried sharing the link. I’d save the $75-100 and would buy that over a 4060/4060Ti OR spend more money and move up to the next performance bracket.

    Pny has been around and making video cards long before asus. You can’t go wrong with either one

  15. Efficient_Durian_505

    Pny is awesome. Coming from an asus fanboy

  16. Infinity2437

    Get neither, buy a used 3080, used 6800xt or a new 6700xt

  17. Lmao at Asus is more reputable. PNY is the official maker of nvidia’s professional and datacenter cards like RTX 6000, L40 or Quadro 8000 that cost more than 5x 4090 combined. I believe they have more know-how than most of the AIB manufacturers together.

  18. slappada-bass

    I only buy asus because the rma center is a 20 min drive from my house, I’d probably buy MSI if their rma wasn’t a 45 drive lols

  19. ChocoCrossies

    I bought a 3080 PNY on launch and have had no issues with it until now (heavy gaming use, no rendering/mining).
    First time buying anything from that brand.

  20. hauntedyew

    PNY is completely fine. No frills, but completely acceptable.

  21. UraniumDisulfide

    No, what you should do is buy a 6800

  22. Puttness

    Why is everyone so scared of the used market? You could literally get a 3080 for that price, have 2gb more VRAM and *way* more horsepower. Yeah yeah yeah, I know about frame gen, unless you specifically want to play the few titles that are demanding enough to need frame gen then you won’t notice it being absent. The 4060/Ti is one of the worst value cards you can buy.

    3000 series also support DLSS 3.5, not sure why people quote “DLSS 3” as a reason to buy 40 series, the only thing 40 series has exclusive to it is frame gen.

  23. tutocookie

    Don’t spend any money for that 4060 with fancy letters tacked onto it. Get a 6800 for the same money or spend $100 more for a 4070 or 7800xt.

    That card performs roughly like a $300 6700xt in raster and its rt advantage wont get you very far with just 8gb of vram

  24. Ch3rkasy

    From personal experience I never had any issues with ASUS products and I heard their QA is great too.

  25. StormKiller1

    Get what looks better to you.
    Or even better not a 4060.

  26. PNY is a good brand that tends to go under the radar, IIRC they used to manufacture all of nvidia’s quadro lineup (and maybe their FE cards but I don’t remember)

    should you buy the asus? maybe, it looks like it has a slightly bigger cooler with slightly bigger fans so it’ll probably be a bit quieter

  27. rKonoSekaiNiWa

    I had 2 PNY over the time… both very good, both still working as of today… one 960, one 1660S

  28. GigabyteAorusRTX4090

    Keep your hands from the 4060 in general.
    It’s no real improvement over the last gen GPUs of the RTX3000 series and they are way overpriced.
    Take a 4070 if possible even a 4080, and look for one with a 3 fan setup.

  29. C0mputerFriendly

    At that price I’d either make the $100 price jump to a 4070, or save $120 and get an Intel Arc A770. If your system comes with or you are given a 4060 or 4060 ti for free it’s fine but they are kinda a waste of silicon in my opinion, not even an upgrade over the 3060 and 3060ti and in some ways worse.

  30. PenguinsRcool2

    Asus more Reputable 🤣 never thought id hear that

  31. mrgwbland

    PNY is absolutely solid, my brother still has a 660 by them going strong!

  32. PNY is fine, before switching to an 7900 XTX i had a PNY 3070, its now in my girlfriends pc and running flawlessly even 3 years after purchase.

  33. lucashhugo

    why the fuck are you on a pc subreddit where everyone knows the 4060s are horrible value yet most of you STILL GET IT? how fucking stupid do yall have to be
