The Nvidia RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti are powerful 1080p gaming graphics cards. The GPUs can play all of the latest titles like The First Descendant at comfortable framerates without major performance hiccups. They are also great for competitive framerates with some compromises to the graphics options.
In this article, we have listed the ideal setting combinations for the 4060 and 4060 Ti. We have targeted high framerates for both GPUs at FHD.

The First Descendant graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti
The Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti is a bit more capable than its cheaper non-Ti sibling. You can play the game at 1440p without major performance issues, but we recommend FHD for a better experience. The High and Ultra settings work best for the game with DLSS set to Quality.
For the 16 GB card, you can set the Texture quality to the Ultra preset. 8 GB of VRAM isn't your best bet in 2024 and it's best to stick to High on the $400 card.
The detailed graphics settings recommendations for the 4060 Ti are as follows:
- Graphics: Custom
Performance
- Upscale type: Nvidia DLSS
