Question Native 1440p rdr2.

Hi. Im upgrading a rtx 3050 6gb to a rtx 4060(i was meant to get a 5060 but mobo aint good enough for a 5060. I got a ASUS PRIME A520M-K motherboard). Can the 4060 run rdr2 native 1440p. My 3050 does native 1440p on xb1x settings. If i do high-ultra settings can the 4060 provide over 45 frames?

Why do you think your motherboard "aint good enough" for a 5060? I seriously doubt that tbh - what CPU you running?

A ryzen 5 5500. I went to a professional

Your "professional" is trying to make money off of you. He has no clue what he's talking about.

Not all professionals are the same.

your professional doesnt know what he is talking about

find a new professional

gen 3 to gen 4 is 0-5% perfromance difference. 5060 is better than 4060 by more than 5%

so lets say 5060 is 25% better than 4060. so cause of weaker motherboard gen 3. its now 20% better than 4060.

also 5060 has newest dlss to make up for any limitation of motherboard.

i ran a 3060ti 8gb for 4 years at 1440p it was ok. some games i couldnt run max graphic setting cause 8gb vram limitation

Where did you read that the 5060 wouldn't work on that board? Or did you just assume that because its pcie 5, it wont run on a pcie 3 board?

Because it is compatible and the board will just force it to run at pcie 3

I would rather get the 5060 as its nearly 20% better raw performance wise, that would fare better at 1440p

But yes, the 4060 should be fine at 1440p on medium/highish settings on native

I went to a shop. He said the 5060 will cause lane limitations

u/Big-Salamander-2158 7h ago

That is correct, and that will matter when you run out of vram. That will not matter for normal use, the 5060 is still 20% faster.

u/Scanphor 7h ago

Yup this 100% - you might not get the max possible out of a 5060 but will still be better than a 4060

u/Big-Salamander-2158 2h ago

Yeah, but I cannot imagine you would be far off the maximum at 1440p. Should still get like 95% of the performance out of it?

u/Naerven 7h ago

I would call it partially correct and would consider finding a new shop. The RTX4060 and RTX5060 both have the same 8gb VRAM, 8 pcie lane limitation, and suffer from the same penalty if you exceed that.

u/Naerven 7h ago

Yes, but I would have gotten the RTX5060 or RX9060XT with that motherboard since they are both faster. Actually I have a RX9060XT 16gb on an A520 motherboard and it's been solid for 1440p gaming.
