NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Rumored To Feature AD107 GPU: 3072 Cores, 8 GB Memory & 115W

While I am sure the performance will be better than 3060 if not 3060 Ti, it never feels right to buy a product that is this low spec

Most Secure Browser? Chrome vs Firefox vs Edge

Kind of an interesting test. They created a script that auto opened 300 known virus urls and saw the detection rates of each browser to see who blocked the site and who stopped the virus from fully being downloaded. The one key difference between Firefox vs Chrome and Edge is that Firefox downloads the virus where as Chrome/Edge asks whether or not you want to download the file if they are not sure. The difference between Chrome and Edge is that Chrome downloaded some of the virus files anyway. Also both Firefox and Chrome uses Googles Safe Browsing tech while Edge uses Microsofts Windows Defender/SmartScreen.

It should beat at least the 3060Ti. I'm sure it will do so in 1080p, but I fear the 3060Ti will creep closer and closer the higher the resolution gets unless it's 6GB VRAM buffer runs out beforehand. And in games where 8GB are not enough, the 12GB of the 3060 could actually end up more important than the extra horsepower.

The AD107 of the 4060 is fundamentally a mobile GPU, being also used on the mobile 4060 and 4050. This also brings me to the one great quality of the card: the very low power draw for this day and age of just 115W TGP, which is great to see. You have to go back all the way to 2009 to the GeForce 9600 GT to find a xx6x card with a lower TDP (95W), though the 1660, 1060 and 960 are very close with their 120W TDP.

I wish the browser test had also included Opera, as the latter also includes it's own set of security features.
