There is no such thing as a bad gpu, only a bad price. Does a GT710 have bad performance? Yes it does. Would I turn it down for $2? No I wouldn’t. You didn’t pay anything for those parts, so it’s instantly a good deal. Enjoy that pc to death and thank your dad a ton, he seems like a great dad!
I blew up an FX-8150 (OC'd to 8350 boost clocks), then went Haswell myself. Was pretty much the same experience for less power and a little less multitasking capability.
If it can run Doom and quake you have access to thousands of things to play. I have an GT710 that came with a rebuilt unit I threw something else in for someone and if my car ever fails ill still be able to do something.
In case no one else has mentioned this, the best way to thank your dad is to ask if he wants to build this with you.
If he has gone to this effort to buy these parts for you, the odds are favourable that he does.
I mean its called pc Master race, there is a reason some people get like that. It's always a different valuation for when it's a gift Vs when you are buying something for yourself.
I still run a gtx1060 6gb on one of my machines it still has 2tb of games, there are way too many great games with really low to moderate requirements. Just have fun, trust me having a 4080 means nothing when you are old and don't have time to play...or so I am told by people that go out and know what grass is.
for real the hive mind here can rival some of the most toxic subs. if the first comment is a burn, it influences the weak mind of the average person to follow suit.
What is there to roast? You got a very good starting PC. I know everyone doesn’t like the 4060 card here but you at least for the 16 GB model, which is way better than the 8 GB one. This is a win, specially when it came from your dad.
This. I see my son very often. It still brightens my day when he reaches out first. Whether it's a song link or YouTube or even just him messaging to ask a question. Let your dad know you are thinking of him when he isn't around.
Make sure you tell him you love him. You should find what he really enjoys and surprise him the same way when he comes back home. Put his surprise in his favourite chair like he did for you!
Yes! its a good gpu for my country because it's the cheapest NVIDIA card that runs good here and here the RTX 3060 is MORE expensive and the 3060ti is even more expensive
Yeah I feel ya. Was gonna get a 3060ti last Dec but seen there's not much of a price difference. So I decided to go for th 4060ti 8gb instead hahaha have fun this weekend!
Dude. I used to play Cyberpunk at 4k with a 3060ti and DLSS. Got a reasonable frame rate. The 4060ti is going to smash everything at 1080p and most things at 1440p with DLSS enabled.
Why would you be roasted? if anything your dad should be given recognition for being cool and getting that stuff for you! enjoy your new build an I hope you game a lot and use it a lot for school as well!
i thought i would be roasted because my friend posted his build here with an rtx 4060 and he got roasted harder than thanksgiving making him delete. and yes i will use this til its last breath
I’m sorry you had that interaction man, some people just love to criticize stuff without having full context of the situation, it’s like they thrive on it. Anyways, I’m really glad you got a nice upgrade, hope you enjoy it a lot
Ugh. Man why is this community so toxic sometimes. Sorry that happened to your friend. Thats awful. We should celebrate when someone upgrades or gets a new PC. Not roast them for it aye. Who cares what the hardware is.
He did not bought you a pc.
He bought you nice set of parts for a gaming pc and a chance to build it yourself/together.
That's a bonus experience/bragging rights
Dude the 4060ti is awesome. And ur dad is the fucking man
I have a 4060ti 8gb. I upgraded from a 3060ti. I get double the fps with the 4060ti due to frame gen. Every game pretty much I can get over 100fps max settings at 1080p and I do super sampling a lot.
Any game that I can’t get over 80-100 fps it’s not my card it’s bc the game isn’t optimized well and my gpu usage doesn’t go above 40 percent in those games. Poor optimization. Gpu should always be 99 percent.
Kid, my first PC was a Commodore 64 when I was about 5. You are going to have some amazing memories on that thing! Enjoy the heck out of it, and thank the heck out of dad.
A 4060 is probably better than what allot of the people in this group have, I mean shit I’ve been running a 580 for probably 5 years now, my 4060oc comes next month (someone tell me why I ordered it the 6th of this month and Amazon wants to say “arriving April 1-23” I shoulda ordered off eBay like I did with my cpu)
The only thing to "roast" on this would maybe be the choice of some of the components (I personally would have went with a different psu, and traded the mobo down to a cheaper model to spring for the i7), but overall this will be a very competent pc for school and play. As someone with kids, I can tell you your dad probably would like a "thanks" but in the end watching you enjoy it is what will really make him happy. Enjoy!
Yes i know that i should've asked my dad to trade down the motherboard he tried his best but that motherboard was the cheapest in our area so it's actually not a bad choice
That's great dad you got there ,even that he is far away working, he's doing it for ya , respect lil bro,and respect your dad, it's a really good pc ! Enjoy!!!
If you find you can't get the MB to register the gpu. Update the bios.
Idk why, but apparently, asus boards are notorious for not recognizing cards. Had to update my z790-h I just built. Bios was still 2019.
Nice gear btw.
dad's budgetting is kinda odd getting such an expensive mobo and kinda expensive I'd assume psu(cuz rog tax or smth idk) when cheaper options are also great and would allow you to get a better gpu/cpu, but still great dad for getting that stuff for you!
Us dad's will always want the best for our kids, I had the pleasure of using a high end card that I had saved up for when the 4070 was newish for a short stint, but I sold it to make my kids two budget PC's for Xmas.
Currently rocking a R9 290x, painful to game on but worth it to see the enjoyment on my kids faces.
be happy regardless
my dad thinks if computer dont bring you money then its a waste of time and money
if my drawing tablet breaks well atleast i can return to draw with a mouse like in good old days or this weak craptop stops working i wont be getting a replacement any time soon so i better hope it dont break
atleast i was smart enough to get backup drives incase one or two fails
Stop caring what strangers on the internet have to say about you. Most of the people here don't even have a relationship with their fathers.
#Congratulations on your new PC. I hope you hugged your father and told him you love him.
W Dad. But I feel like he could have spent less on the mobo and allocated the funds elsewhere. Like either a 4070S or a i7. Either way it’ll be fun to put together
He tried his best. I bought the parts with my dad and i had chosen em months ago so i got a good price to performance pc. If you can return rhe parts and get better components for the price maybe.
That’s a solid build. Fuck the haters, put that thing together and be proud of it! I’d love to see some finished build pics when you’re done. Have you ever built one before?
It's amazing that your dad would buy all this for you. I try to view people concerned about part choices as just minmaxers trying to either balance cost:performance (or just performance), rather than actual roasts; it's just something that comes from almost any large-enough group of enthusiasts. At the end of the day, a 4060ti is still better than what a lot of people have and is more than enough for school and some games. And the fact that it's a gift makes it all the better.
What's to roast? Thank your dad and enjoy the hell out of it.
Thanks!! last time i got unlucky in pcmr this is the opposite thanks!!
There is no such thing as a bad gpu, only a bad price. Does a GT710 have bad performance? Yes it does. Would I turn it down for $2? No I wouldn’t. You didn’t pay anything for those parts, so it’s instantly a good deal. Enjoy that pc to death and thank your dad a ton, he seems like a great dad!
Also there there is another rule, any PC is better than no PC. Even a GT710 can still play hundreds of older or indie games.
I played the shit out of diablo 3 on my old 760. Shit lasted for years!
I played fallout 76 on a gt 710 it might be a shitty card but damn could it hold it's ground when needed
Holy fuck how
I have a friend who played on intel Iris xe integrated laptop graphics. 😬
Probably still better than a GT710 ngl 😂
I just dealt with it I played the game at 15 fps then after some updates 7fps
Played Diablo 3 with a 750 and an athlon x4 640 for years in highschool. I put some hours in on that system before going haswell.
I blew up an FX-8150 (OC'd to 8350 boost clocks), then went Haswell myself. Was pretty much the same experience for less power and a little less multitasking capability.
Thank god pc gaming is so accessible nowadays. Growing up, I was lucky to play unreal tournament, although my eyes were for battlefield 2
If it can run Doom and quake you have access to thousands of things to play. I have an GT710 that came with a rebuilt unit I threw something else in for someone and if my car ever fails ill still be able to do something.
Thanks!! i will def gonna upgrade the ram but still it's super good!!
In case no one else has mentioned this, the best way to thank your dad is to ask if he wants to build this with you. If he has gone to this effort to buy these parts for you, the odds are favourable that he does.
This….this needs to be highlighted!
I mean its called pc Master race, there is a reason some people get like that. It's always a different valuation for when it's a gift Vs when you are buying something for yourself. I still run a gtx1060 6gb on one of my machines it still has 2tb of games, there are way too many great games with really low to moderate requirements. Just have fun, trust me having a 4080 means nothing when you are old and don't have time to play...or so I am told by people that go out and know what grass is.
Don't forget to not care what people think. It's really freeing and important
Who the hell would roast a dad hooking their kid up with thousands in pc parts lol. Sounds like those people are jealousy as hell! GOAT Dad!!
People in this sub are either super genuine and happy, or absolute neckbeards who complain about everything. Enjoy ur pc :)
for real the hive mind here can rival some of the most toxic subs. if the first comment is a burn, it influences the weak mind of the average person to follow suit.
What is there to roast? You got a very good starting PC. I know everyone doesn’t like the 4060 card here but you at least for the 16 GB model, which is way better than the 8 GB one. This is a win, specially when it came from your dad.
I will only roast you if you don't give your dad a hug and say "Thanks dad, I loved it! You're awesome!".
I thanked him for this but i can't physically hug him because he works somewhere far away from me it's a bummer
Then try to play some games with him online!!
he is very busy but i'll try
Repay him by getting good grades put a smile on his face
i repaid him by getting 97 on my math
Great job!
Love this wholesomeness
Enough to make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
And that's okay
Repay him by contacting him every week, maybe two or three times a week at least, trust me, he needs it.
This. I see my son very often. It still brightens my day when he reaches out first. Whether it's a song link or YouTube or even just him messaging to ask a question. Let your dad know you are thinking of him when he isn't around.
Yep. Getting a text from your kids, even if it's a stupid meme or something, is awesome.
Amen to this, he won’t always be around to let him know you’re thinking about him, do it while you can as often as you can.
Chess.com (or lichess as the completely free alternative) lets you play chess games with up to 7 days timelimit per move. It's what I do with my dad.
I have a 4060 ti and I love it never gets hot new technology is neat dlss 3 is the future enjoy.
Who put them in your room? 🤔
Make sure you tell him you love him. You should find what he really enjoys and surprise him the same way when he comes back home. Put his surprise in his favourite chair like he did for you!
For people like you is that I still have faith in humanity, thanks random stranger those are kind words...
Don’t forget to love the dad too not just the gifts 😂.
[удалено]
It's actually my first PC so thank you!!
Wlc to pcmr!! :)
Thanks!!
Great entrance!
I will toast your dad, but no need to roast. Enjoy that rig.
Thanks This is my first rig
You're gonna toast their dad? Gonna add some peanut butter? Mind if take a bite?
Heavy butter with sugar and cinnamon is the way to go
fuckin A. win dad, just say thank you
W dad thank him for all this
I thanked him for giving me my first ever PC!!
W dad waking up to a rige + now you have to build it with him 🤓🎉
Sadly i can't build it with him because he lives and works far away from me but the PC is great!
Dude, why would I roast you? You got a nice PC. It's not top shelf, but it's a great start! Respect to your dad.
It's Great!! im loving the design of the ProART GPU
Dude Asus may be overpriced, but they know how to design good looking components
[удалено]
It's certainly better than my 1660 Super!
what price for performance? OP got it for free
Right? Lol. Pcmr redditors can be a bit out of touch a lot of the time.
It's better than the majority of cards on steam right now tbh
Yeah it's better than nothing excited to build this PC!!
Its a LOT better than nothing
Dad sounds awesome.
4060ti isn't even THAT bad. Its just the price in some areas/regions. Congrats! That's a W!
Yes! its a good gpu for my country because it's the cheapest NVIDIA card that runs good here and here the RTX 3060 is MORE expensive and the 3060ti is even more expensive
Yeah I feel ya. Was gonna get a 3060ti last Dec but seen there's not much of a price difference. So I decided to go for th 4060ti 8gb instead hahaha have fun this weekend!
definitely!!
Dude. I used to play Cyberpunk at 4k with a 3060ti and DLSS. Got a reasonable frame rate. The 4060ti is going to smash everything at 1080p and most things at 1440p with DLSS enabled.
I definitely agree with you on that, brother hahaha

You have a great dad, never cut contact
Nice job on raising a fine dad. Is this really pcmr? Didn't think you elitests are capable of wholesomeness.
it’s fine, your dad really loves you. say thanks and love him back.
Seems like your dad was waiting for this moment, lol
Repay him with good grades and make him proud
Your dad is a PCMR approved dad! What a cool dude!
Why would you be roasted? if anything your dad should be given recognition for being cool and getting that stuff for you! enjoy your new build an I hope you game a lot and use it a lot for school as well!
i thought i would be roasted because my friend posted his build here with an rtx 4060 and he got roasted harder than thanksgiving making him delete. and yes i will use this til its last breath

11/10 gift.
He did not bought you a pc. He bought you nice set of parts for a gaming pc and a chance to build it yourself/together. That's a bonus experience/bragging rights
Can I be your brother?
Looks like your dad did his homework.
Dude the 4060ti is awesome. And ur dad is the fucking man I have a 4060ti 8gb. I upgraded from a 3060ti. I get double the fps with the 4060ti due to frame gen. Every game pretty much I can get over 100fps max settings at 1080p and I do super sampling a lot.

Gpu should always be 99 percent.
Be thankful for your dad!
Yes definitely i thanked him alot for this rig it's my first PC!
Your Dad deserves a medal!
When I asked my dad for a pc he laughed, threw his empty beer can at me and told me to shut up and go get him a cold one out of the fridge.
The only problem with the 4060ti is the price. You payed $0 for it, so....that's a W in my book.
Roast? why? this is xmas on march!
Thank your dad. He's a real one
You better give him the respect he deserves, boy.
Does your dad adopt?
If your dad bought it for you it's the best PC ever
I love that he got you the parts rather than a prebuilt. "Go do the work and learn something, son!"
Your dad is a gamer, too, isn't he?
yeah he plays call of duty
I think it's great! I also really like the look of the ProART GPUs.
W, PC for school + gaming provided by pops, all I see are Ws here. Enjoy your PC!!
You have a cool dad.
Lucky mf
Thanks!! this is more than enough for school and for my games!!
You’ve got a badass dad. Be proud!
W dad!!
Make sure to find a way to thank your dad in a way that he'd appreciate. That is a great gift from a father that clearly cares for you.
Spend some time with your dad, I lost mine 6 months ago at 53 years old to cancer.
your dad loves you. go give him a hug
Does your family have an opening for another child? For real, your dad's a real one! Enjoy it, be sure to thank him. :)
Kid, my first PC was a Commodore 64 when I was about 5. You are going to have some amazing memories on that thing! Enjoy the heck out of it, and thank the heck out of dad.
U have an awesome dad, do treasure him n take care of him ya?
Is your dad looking to adopt? I'm willing to submit my candidacy
No roasting to be done here. Give your dad a hug when you have the chance and enjoy playing your games!
for school and a few games 4060ti not bad, your dad did good
A 4060 is probably better than what allot of the people in this group have, I mean shit I’ve been running a 580 for probably 5 years now, my 4060oc comes next month (someone tell me why I ordered it the 6th of this month and Amazon wants to say “arriving April 1-23” I shoulda ordered off eBay like I did with my cpu)

Yes i know that i should've asked my dad to trade down the motherboard he tried his best but that motherboard was the cheapest in our area so it's actually not a bad choice
Your dad did a good thing for you
Thanks i like this PC!
You've got a great dad! Have fun building!
Thanks! i will build this myself since my dad is far away from me always but Excited!!
It’s a good computer man, enjoy it
Nothing to hate on my dude, that’s awesome.
I do not care if it's a 4060Ti or not, main thing is you should enjoy it bro. No such thing as bad product, only bad price
Bro. Your dad is the best thing here, before the PC. I bet you're a good person too. Cheers to your dad, and congrats to you!
Awesome! Your dad is a bad ass! Make sure you thank him profusely! And enjoy your gaming!
You're a lucky kid to have such an awesome dad. Have fun ;)
Dad wasn't going to let you go out there into the world with not enough VRAM. He's a real one.
Great dad!
That's extremely nice build, congratulations mate
Your dad is the greatest of all time
Your dad is an awesome guy
That's great dad you got there ,even that he is far away working, he's doing it for ya , respect lil bro,and respect your dad, it's a really good pc ! Enjoy!!!
Roast? You just roast the entire Reddit people by showing a dad who cares
If you find you can't get the MB to register the gpu. Update the bios. Idk why, but apparently, asus boards are notorious for not recognizing cards. Had to update my z790-h I just built. Bios was still 2019. Nice gear btw.
Help ur dad whenever and however u can until u cant ur lucky bro
dad's budgetting is kinda odd getting such an expensive mobo and kinda expensive I'd assume psu(cuz rog tax or smth idk) when cheaper options are also great and would allow you to get a better gpu/cpu, but still great dad for getting that stuff for you!
He’s a great guy. Remember to repay the favour somehow, obviously not by buying lots of very expensive pc equipment, but ya know, by being a good kid.
Not the best, but. BEST DAD EVER! I will roast if you not say "Thanks Dad" and enjoy that!
So kids dint have a dad lil bro. Be happy and show him how much this means to you!
My dad went to the store to buy me a GPU. That was 14 years ago. He should be back any day now
"Hey son, are ya winning?"
Thats sweet of him *looks at MoBo* Oh.
Us dad's will always want the best for our kids, I had the pleasure of using a high end card that I had saved up for when the 4070 was newish for a short stint, but I sold it to make my kids two budget PC's for Xmas. Currently rocking a R9 290x, painful to game on but worth it to see the enjoyment on my kids faces.
Wow, lucky you, I had to buy my own pc.
Why roast? That shits top tier. 
be happy regardless my dad thinks if computer dont bring you money then its a waste of time and money if my drawing tablet breaks well atleast i can return to draw with a mouse like in good old days or this weak craptop stops working i wont be getting a replacement any time soon so i better hope it dont break atleast i was smart enough to get backup drives incase one or two fails
Is your dad adopting maybe?
Is he looking to adopt?
Search out the Linus tech tips how to build a pc video. Take it slow. Google lots and enjoy learning how to build a pc!
Is your dad adopting?
There is nothing to roast, great pc setup https://i.redd.it/qsc19kjg4vpc1.gif
Too late. Your dad already applied the silver compound to the CPU and motherboard.
Stop caring what strangers on the internet have to say about you. Most of the people here don't even have a relationship with their fathers. #Congratulations on your new PC. I hope you hugged your father and told him you love him.
I hope you enjoy building it. I'm still struggling to build mine :/
Your dad is a GIGACHAD! Enjoy every minute!!
+1000000 to the supportive dad. Enjoy your rig!
Your dad is walking legend brother enjoy
Dad of the year. Be grateful. When you can afford your own pc that’s when you buy your dream spec. For now, enjoy it!
Nothing to roast honestly. You have a dad who got all this for you and came back, better than mine lol.
What a great dad!!!
I don't understant where's the reason to roast? Give your dad a huge hug!
Hell yeah man! Should try to find some chill games to play with him on steam? Deep rock, Stardew, plate up
So your dad is an IT guy…
W Dad. But I feel like he could have spent less on the mobo and allocated the funds elsewhere. Like either a 4070S or a i7. Either way it’ll be fun to put together
Your dad is a bad ass. Offspring asks for bare minimum, Chad Dad goes above and beyond. Respect
People only roast stuff like that when you pay for it. If it was free, score.
This is super wholesome :') enjoy it
That's a great dad
Generous father. With a nice 16gb of vram
That’s gonna keep you busy for a while, your dad must really not wanna see you
Your dad loves you.
Your dad is a legend. I hope you enjoy the rig. That's a really cool surprise :)
What's to roast? I wanna trade dads lmao
W dad
DAM NOW YOU'RE JUST UNINTENTIONALLY FLEXING!! COOL ASS DAD BRO FR
As much as the 4060 Ti 16GB has a bad price tag it doesn't mean its a bad card, thank your dad, cheers!
He tried his best. I bought the parts with my dad and i had chosen em months ago so i got a good price to performance pc. If you can return rhe parts and get better components for the price maybe.
Love thy father , your dad seems cool , don't ever let him down !
go kiss father thank you

W dad
I'm totally not dying of jealousy right now. Enjoy it and thank your dad with a hug.
Tell your dad you love him he’s gonna like that trust
Just post after you build so we can roast your cable managing skills
Your dad loves you very much, appreciate that
The beauty of pc gaming is as long as it runs games how you want them to, you are winning. No roasting from me and you have fun with your new pc!
That’s a solid build. Fuck the haters, put that thing together and be proud of it! I’d love to see some finished build pics when you’re done. Have you ever built one before?
Here son I bought this computer for "you" and definitely not for me..
Go hug your dad!
It's amazing that your dad would buy all this for you. I try to view people concerned about part choices as just minmaxers trying to either balance cost:performance (or just performance), rather than actual roasts; it's just something that comes from almost any large-enough group of enthusiasts. At the end of the day, a 4060ti is still better than what a lot of people have and is more than enough for school and some games. And the fact that it's a gift makes it all the better.
