Our verdict

ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi 16GB OC is our pick.

For nearly every 2026 buyer gaming at 1440p or running local LLMs, the ASRock RX 9070 XT Taichi is a better card than the MSI RTX 4060 Ventus 2X. It scores 29,716 in 3DMark Time Spy against the 4060's 11,413 (2.6x) and has twice the VRAM (16 GB), for a moderate premium. The RTX 4060 only wins in sub-300 W small-form-factor builds.

Buy the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black 8G OC if you're stuck with a mini-ITX case or a 300–500 W power supply and play mostly esports and 1080p titles (180.5 fps in CS2 at 1440p Ultra, 108 fps in Fortnite at 1080p Epic).
