(correction) would a Asus prime b460m-a motherboard support

[Kweeb]

A RTX 4060 TI.
My CPU is a i7 10700F
I have a 500 w power supply.

Yes, you just won't run at pcie 4.0 standard. Instead you'll run at 3.0 standard.

Would it be worth the upgrade from a GTX 1660 super?

My mistake. It is a
Prime b460 m-a

Just get a RTX 3060 or AMD 6700 XT.
3060 just dropped to $300

But yes you do not need PCIE 4.0 to properly use all these new GPUs. They all work fine on PCIE 3.0

pci-e 4.0 is only needed for 4.0 devices, or when lanes need to be shared among other devices

How much different in performance would I expect though?

Acc. to some online sources, psu/s of 600-750 watts are being mentioned and recommended but I have not yet seen anyone specifically saying "no" to a 500 watt power supply--not yet anyway I would think about it a little more, though, and maybe do some online research on your own.

For reference, I run rtx 4070 on a lower end PCI-e v.3 board and it's perfectly fine. I have run multiple benchmarks incl. Time Spy and Unigine Superposition several times each and, tested RAM for hours, etc etc and no issues so far.

Edit: just saw that NVIDIA itself recommends a 550 watt power supply for both 4060 and Ti.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4060-4060ti/

Scroll down until you see the tab "Specs" then "View full specs" and then continue scrolling a bit--the recommended power supply is near the bottom.

Well 1660 is barely good enough for 1080p gaming. 3060, 3060 Ti and 4060 Ti would be quite a good jump above any gtx 1660.

Not to me it wouldn't be. To me the 4060ti is trash. The only thing going for it is efficiency and ray tracing and dlss garbage. Those things aren't worth $400-$500 though. Terrible value.

4060 ti memory bandwidth = 288
1660 super memory bandwidth = 336

You actually get less graphic card for your money and Nvidia involves ai trickery and fake frames and other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and uses these in benchmark to showcase performance even when their GPU sucks it hard. Don't trust them.

Nvidia 4000 series 👎 except the 4090. The rtx 4090 is the only one that isn't neutered.

The 1660 isn't the same. It only has 192gb/s memory bandwidth. The 1070 has 256 still slower bandwidth. The 3060 is barely more than the 1660 super coming in at 360.

The joke actually started when you logged in and made this comment. Your references aren't making sense.

The 4070 Ti has half the memory bandwidth of a 3080 and still smashes it into oblivion.

Unless you're playing at 4K+ you wont see any discernible memory bottleneck from any of the cards you listed.

To answer OP question yes.

Ehhh depends what your goal, do you want it for 1080p, 1440p, 4k? Are you after yo max out newest games settings?

IMHO I'm not impressed with Nvidia pricing for 40 series's, AMD is starting to lower pricing on their GPUs, and Intel, if their next gen cards goes as they claimed, then this will hurt Nvidia marketing plan for price jacking, and may lower their prices, but that depends what happens in the future. I'm hoping Intel pull through, and hurt Nvidia, and same with AMD as these piece need to be knock down quite a bit to be responsible IMO.

To point out, 4060 ti isn't much better than 3060 ti, both being same, or 3060 ti cheaper, and for 2nd hand it can be even cheaper basically price to performance making 4060 ti look bad, only thing that can help is dlss that basically it, but raw to raw yeah it bad... I mean this is kind of point where Nvidia need to step back on their aggressive pricing they been doing. Again just IMO.

If you're dead set don't want to wait for next series's, just wait until 4060 ti16GB model release for $100 more this way you have double the VRAM, as certain modem games are super memory hogs even at 1080p.

1080p maxxed. Ill probably just wait for the 16gb 4060ti

This has been a debate for many years. If you can't see that the memory bus: 192 vs 256 vs 384 bit doesn't matter as much as you think. Through design of these GPUs, you don't need 256bit or higher on an 8-10GB GPU really. 192bit is just fine.

Overall it does not speak for general performance overall.

The raw performance is what you need to focus more on.

If you save more, 4070 ti will be good jump, and way better than 4060 ti, but that depends if want to burn that cash for it, other wise 4060 ti 16GB be good for 1080p but max settings in newest titles, most likely gonna be high instead of max I'm assuming, unless your target is 60fps, if any higher than yea it be high settings most likely.
