Trade-offs

  • ❌12% longer card at 242mm vs 216mm.

GeForce4 Ti 4800

2010

Why buy it

  • ✅Measures 216mm instead of 242mm, a 26mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • ❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • ❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • ❌2010 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • ❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0.0 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 16878.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 338433.3% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 6), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 8nm process instead of 40nm, and 38 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is priced the same on MSRP at $399 vs $399, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 338433.3% (50.9 vs 0.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
