The publisher lists GeForce GTX 950 (tier 3), Radeon HD 7790 (tier 3); we compare against the highest-class alternative, so the requirement is tier 3. B13VFK-817US (single-SKU MSI spec sheet) — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060: PASS. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is tier 6; the requirement is tier 3.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
