Nvidia RTX 4060 Review ft. MSI

The MSI RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black ships in a black box, with an imagine of the card visible on the front, alongside some prominent GeForce branding. On the back, MSI highlights various key features about the card and cooler.

Inside, the only included accessory is a brief quick start guide.

As for the card itself then, the Ventus 2X Black is relatively plain, but that doesn't mean it's ugly. The all-plastic shroud has just enough raised sections and edges to maintain visual interest, while the all-black aesthetic means it is very stealthy and won't look out of place in a colour coordinated system.

Being all-plastic it doesn't feel especially premium, but it doesn't flex in the hand or feel alarmingly cheap, so I'd have no concerns once it was installed in my PC. We can also note the two 90mm fans, each equipped with 10 fan blades.

The Ventus 2X Black is a very dinky card. It measures in at 199 x 120 x 41mm, so it's just 2-slots thick and very short overall, making it a prime contender for a mini-ITX build. It tips the scales at 545g.

The front side of the card is home to the MSI and GeForce RTX logos. It's worth noting there's no LEDs of any kind on this card.

Flipping over to the backplate, this is a full-length plastic design and it's again entirely black apart from the MSI and GeForce logos. We can also note a few small cut-outs towards the end of the card, designed to help air pass straight through the heatsink and out into your chassis.

Just like the RTX 4060 Ti, power is supplied by a single 8-pin connector. Given TGP is a mere 115W, even a 6-pin connector would have been enough when you factor in power delivered via the PCIe slot itself.

Lastly, we find a standard array of display outputs, with 3x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.1.
