In the world of Small Form Factor GPUs, there aren't a ton of options, especially if you're aiming for high performance. While cards like the RX 6400 and Intel A380 exist, they even struggle at 1080P gaming. Then along came the RTX 4000 ADA Generation SFF, and brought with it a level of performance and size never before seen together.

But it is also $1250.

But, now we have the RTX 4060 Low Profile from Gigabyte, and it runs only $319 at retail. Is this the SFF GPU of my dreams, or is it just another compromise in a long list of sub-par performers?

But first... What am I drinking???

    TL;DW - do you have infinite money? No? Buy the 4060 and never look back
  • As a SFF only builder who appreciates low wattage draw and reduced heat generation, thank you very much for the comparison. As a non gamer, I would appreciate some photo processing speed comparisons such as RAW to JPEG time for 50 to 100 images.
  • @Spreadie
    I got my 4060 LP back in September - I had to order it from the states via Amazon UK. It's pretty damn good for such a small card.
  • "In the end, the conclusion should surprise nobody". True. But I still appreciate the time you took to prove it.
  • The 4000 was almost perfect! ✅ Lots of memory ✅ Bus powered ✅ ECC memory ✅ Small form factor ❌vGPU support for Prodmox Jeff - please tell me you have a fix for the last one. 😅
  • @buddybleeyes
    Been waiting for this since the announcement 😁 Keep it up man! Loving the content 👌
  • Never understood why Nvidia don't have a much wider lineup of SFF/LP cards. For example the AD103 RTX 4090 Mobile/RTX 5000 ADA with 120w TDP would be a fine choice and could surely be adequately cooled with a very similar heatsink to this 4060.
  • Great video Jeff. Any chance you'd be willing to do a comparison of the 2000, 4000, 4060 LP, and maybe any other LP/SFF cards you can get your hands on, in regards to their performance vs cost for things like video transcoding, CAD, 3D rendering? I'm working on building a small server on a budget for hosting Plex/Jellyfin for a handful of people (up to maybe 5 or 6 simultaneous streams, depending on cost) and I'm not sure yet which way I should go in regards to transcoding. Most of my content is stored in 4k and is streamed to a range of devices from tablets to TVs.
  • While on its face this comparison may seem crazy, it’s the exact comparison we all would have done in our heads. Thanks for making the magic happen, as always!
  • @Dom_Mason
    Shuttle PC lol that brings back memories. Those piped heatsinks were cool though.
  • @tryllejens
    Thank you very much for this comparison!
  • The ADA card is a godsend for AI. You would be a silly goose to buy it for anything else. I would love to see AI benchmarks in your reviews since my personal homelab depends on AI services more and more. I bet I am not the only viewer who feels this way.
  • @3v068
    I see you post, i make my tea and start to watch with you. Cant drink, but I still enjoy!
  • @TheSFFV
    One question for you. Did you use the gaming setting on the RTX 4000 ada. NVidia builds profiles in the RTX XXXX Ada that allow it to run in gaming mode. I like how you mentioned that the RTX 4000 Ada is not a gaming card. Also the "Quadro" offers ISV certifications that are important for productivity and engineering applications. I think you should explain that a lot of the cost difference is in the ECC memory used in the "Quadro". Good overall review for gaming.
  • @Par_x3D
    This is insane! I honestly thought the ADA 4000 would roll the 4060lp up and smoke it but this? I sincerely never thought it would compare let alone trade blows. If I had the money for the ADA 4k at launch and a 7800x3d I would've built an insane 4l ITX rig with it and if I knew the 4060 was this similar I'd have the worst buyers remorse of my life. Probably THE most interesting GPU comparison I've ever seen. Watt for watt even though the idea of running the 70 watt ADA 4k for longer with my camper's battery is cool I'll keep my 3060 for now. Super interesting video!
  • @jerwal83
    This is the video I've been waiting for, Thank you
  • I guess you didnt like the beer.... the glass was too full during the video!!!
  • @MB00900
    Great video. is it possible to benchmark the fastest SFF gpu for AI inference tasks on LLM and SDXL. Let’s put the RTX4060lp vs RTX A2000-12GB vs RTX 4000 on the track. Really interested to see which gpu provides the $/perf value.
  • @ewenchan1239
    For gaming, your conclusion would be accurate. For AI, the 8 GB of VRAM on the 4060 might be able to load some basic models, but you can either do text-based AI or AI generated pictures, but not both, simultaneously (whereas with the RTX 4000 Ada SFF, you'd be able to run both basic models, simultaneously).
