I purchased this GIGABYTE 4060 OC Low Profile 8G graphics card on discount through Amazon Warehouse Deals because it was the cheapest RTX 4060 at the time. The goal was to see if it was worth switching my MSI 1060 6GB ARMOR 6G OC graphics card while continuing to use the rest of the computer, which is based around an Intel i7-6700 CPU and 32GB of DDR4 at 2100mhz. Besides comparing the two video cards I also talk about aspects of the Gigabyte graphics card which is a unique low profile design. Is there any benefit at all swapping out the GPU? Is this low profile card worth considering even if I have no intention of building a compact form factor PC?
