Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC Review
The Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC brings another option for those players looking to upgrade their GPU from a preview generation while still not entirely breaking the bank. Sitting around $319, so just slightly above the MSRP of the 4060 series, the Gaming OC GPU provides a small uplift over the base spec, targeted squarely at high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming.
The Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC is a long card, which I'm not sure why it surprised me as much as it did when I first opened the box, but it did.

The three 80mm fans feature alternate spinning, where the middle fan spins in the opposite direction of the two outside ones, aimed at increasing airflow pressure and reducing turbulence in the card. The Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC also features a metal backplate that is as stylish as the rest of the gunmetal grey coloring of the GPU.
