This article covers MSI GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC グラフィックスボード VD8560.

Overview

MSI's GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC (model VD8560) is a compact dual-fan graphics card built around NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture. Powered by the GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 3072 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 2490 MHz, it pairs 8GB of GDDR6 memory over a 128-bit bus. Its 115W TDP keeps power requirements low, needing just a single 8-pin power connector and a 550W PSU. This card is primarily aimed at 1080p high-refresh-rate gaming, with full support for DLSS 3 and real-time ray tracing. The TORX FAN 4.0 dual-fan cooler is effective and quiet enough for most builds, and the overall length of roughly 250 mm ensures compatibility with a wide range of cases, including many Mini-ITX enclosures. Positioned as an entry-high to mid-range graphics card, the RTX 4060 offers a noticeable step up from the RTX 3060 while keeping costs reasonable. Street prices hover around $299 USD, making it one of the most affordable Ada Lovelace options available.

Compatibility Guide

Interface: PCI Express 4.0 x8. Works in PCIe 3.0 slots, but expect a minor performance hit in bandwidth-sensitive tasks. Dimensions: Dual-slot, ~250 mm length. Fits most ATX and many Micro-ATX cases; always check case GPU clearance. Power: One 8-pin PCIe power connector. Recommended PSU is 550W or higher. Lower wattage units risk instability under load. Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1 x HDMI 2.1a. Supports up to four displays simultaneously. * VRAM: 8GB GDDR6; adequate for 1080p today, but future AAA titles may push its limits at higher resolutions.

Product Info

Released in mid-2023, the MSI RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC is part of MSI's value-oriented VENTUS lineup. The GPU chip is the AD107 fabricated on TSMC's 4nm process. Core specifications include 3072 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, 96 Tensor cores, and a peak FP32 compute of roughly 15 TFLOPS. Memory clock runs at 17 Gbps delivering about 272 GB/s bandwidth. Warranty is 1 year via MSI Japan's authorized distributors. The card is widely available through , major Japanese PC retailers, and international e-tailers. Reference pricing in Japan is around ¥58,300, while US pricing typically sits at $299–$319.

Best Use Cases

1080p 144Hz+ gaming: The RTX 4060 easily pushes 144+ fps in esports titles and handles modern AAA games at 60–100 fps with DLSS 3 enabled. For pure 4K gaming, step up to an RTX 4070 or higher. Low-power / quiet PC builds: With a 115W TDP and effective dual-fan cooling, this card runs cool and quiet. Ideal for SFF systems or living room PCs where heat and noise matter. * Budget upgrade from GTX 10/16 series or RTX 20 series: Upgrading to the RTX 4060 brings DLSS 3, better ray tracing performance, and significantly higher efficiency. A compelling jump for those still on older GPUs.

Things to Consider

The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface can be a bottleneck on older platforms (PCIe 3.0). Real-world impact is usually 2–5% slower, but it's worth noting for CPU upgraders. 8GB VRAM may become a limitation in the next generation of games, especially with high-resolution textures. If you plan to keep this card for 3+ years, consider whether 8GB is sufficient for your favorite titles. Compare against AMD's Radeon RX 7600 and RX 7600 XT: the RTX 4060 has better ray tracing and DLSS, but can be slower in pure rasterization. Check benchmarks for the games you play. The VENTUS cooler is competent but not premium; it has no fan-stop feature and can be audible under sustained load. For absolute silence, consider a triple-fan model or aftermarket cooling options. ## FAQ
Q: Does the MSI RTX 4060 VENTUS support DLSS 3 Frame Generation? A: Yes, all GeForce RTX 40-series cards support DLSS 3 including Frame Generation. This can boost frame rates significantly in supported titles. Q: Can I use this card with a PCIe 3.0 motherboard? A: Yes, it will physically fit and work, but the x8 electrical width will be cut to x8 on PCIe 3.0 (instead of x16). Expect a small performance penalty, typically under 5%. Still perfectly usable. Q: Is this card good for VR? A: Yes, the RTX 4060 is sufficient for most VR headsets (e.g., Meta Quest 2/3, Valve Index) at default settings. For very demanding VR titles or higher-resolution headsets, a RTX 4070 would be more comfortable.
