For gaming – more fps is always better.

RTX 4060 8GB gives 10% more fps than RTX 3060 12GB

considering 7600x TDP at 105W. Air cooler won’t be sufficient. As our testing with Deepcool AG620 dual tower cooler constantly hitting 95c on blender load at 30c room temp.

liquid cooler with high performance will be good like Deepcool 240mm LS520.

Encode fast by utilizing multiple media engines working in parallel on Intel platforms (available on select productivity apps).
