NVIDIA Announces GeForce RTX 4060 Family: RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4060, Starting at $299, 16 GB Available
NVIDIA today announced the GeForce RTX 4060 family of GPUs, with two graphics cards that deliver all the advancements of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture—including DLSS 3 neural rendering and third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates—starting at just $299. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 deliver unparalleled performance at fantastic value—bringing for the first time to the company's popular 60-class twice the horsepower of the latest gaming consoles, including ray tracing for premium image quality on top games.
"The RTX 4060 family delivers PC gamers both great value and great performance at 1080p, whether they're building a gaming battle box or an AI-assisted creation station," said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. "These GPUs deliver an incredible upgrade, starting at just $299, putting Ada Lovelace and DLSS 3 in the hands of millions more worldwide."
DLSS Brings AI-Accelerated Performance to 300+ Titles
The GeForce RTX 4060 family provides access to the 300+ games and applications that now support DLSS, with eagerly anticipated titles The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and Diablo IV to include DLSS 3. A DLSS 3 plug-in for Unreal Engine 5 is also coming soon.
DLSS 3 showcases the growing importance of AI in real-time games by creating new, high-quality frames for smoother gameplay. It massively increases performance in combination with DLSS Super Resolution, which uses AI to output higher-resolution frames from a lower-resolution input. Exceptional responsiveness is maintained through NVIDIA Reflex, which reduces input lag.
The Ultimate Graphics Cards for 1080p Gaming
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is on average 2.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU and 1.7x faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU. For titles without frame generation, the RTX 4060 Ti is 1.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU.
The RTX 4060 Ti's memory subsystem features 32 MB of L2 cache and 8 GB or 16 GB of ultra-high speed GDDR6 memory. The RTX 4060 has 24 MB of L2 cache with 8 GB of GDDR6. The L2 cache reduces demands on the GPU's memory interface, ultimately improving performance and power efficiency.
Ray tracing performance has improved significantly from the previous generation, thanks to advancements like Shader Execution Reordering, cutting-edge Opacity Micromap and Displaced Micro-Mesh Engines. These innovations enable even the most demanding games to simultaneously implement multiple ray tracing effects, and even full ray tracing, also known as path tracing, for unparalleled realism and immersion.
Perfect for Content Creators
The GeForce RTX 4060 family of GPUs comes backed by the NVIDIA Studio platform, which brings creators RTX acceleration and AI tools at a more accessible starting price. Serving livestreamers, video editors, 3D artists and others, the platform supercharges over 110 creative apps, provides lasting stability with NVIDIA Studio Drivers and includes a powerful suite of AI powered Studio software, such as NVIDIA Omniverse, Canvas and Broadcast.
Creators of many disciplines can benefit from new fourth-generation Tensor Cores, which provide a significant performance increase for AI tools compared with the last generation. Accelerated AI features allow creators to automate tedious tasks and apply advanced effects with ease.
3D modelers rendering high-resolution, ray-traced scenes can expect up to 45% faster performance than with the previous-generation GeForce RTX 3060 family. Adding AI-powered DLSS 3—including within Omniverse, a hub for interconnecting existing 3D workflows to replace linear pipelines with live-sync creation and real-time collaboration—greatly accelerates the viewport in real-time 3D rendering applications, enabling a more fluid editing experience with full lighting, materials and physics.
Broadcasters can use the eighth-generation NVIDIA video encoder, called NVENC, with best-in class AV1 hardware encoding, and benefit from 40% better encoding efficiency. Livestreams will appear as if bitrate was increased by 40%—a big boost in image quality for popular broadcast apps like OBS Studio. Broadcasters can also benefit from NVIDIA Broadcast and its set of AI effects that improve microphones and webcams, turning rooms into home studios.
Video editors can benefit from a host of AI tools like auto-reframe, smart object selection and depth estimation, now available in top applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and export in AV1 for reduced file sizes.

56 Comments on NVIDIA Announces GeForce RTX 4060 Family: RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4060, Starting at $299, 16 GB Available
RTX 4060 Ti --> 4352cudas * 2 * 2.8GHz = 24,37 TFLOPS
This is the only advantage, the "overclock". It's a 20%.
Lovelace has the double of cudas than Ampere thanks to being manufactured in 5nm instead of 8nm as Ampere. A great advance that has been ruined by giving people less part of the cake than ever. Less cudas than previous Ampere. Everything for me, Nvidia must have thought. Sad story of a glutton.
Advantages: 4060Ti consumes less than 3060Ti, less than 2060, ...
Disadvantages: 4060Ti consumes less because is a 4050 with a new fake name, with a chip that is much smaller than it should (less cudas, less performance). Lovelace has a great consume, you can see the 450W of the big one.
x50 series always outperform previous x60 Ti. This 4050 (fake 4060Ti) also outperform previous 3060Ti
gulliblesheep are conditioned to drink the Kool-Aid & follow the viral YTers/influencers into buying whatever the f*** they're paid to promote! It starts early & is incessant to an almost intolerable level. And don't forget that fancy word ~ gaming, I swear I lose a billion neurons any time I see that in a product name :laugh:tbf, 40-series through-in and through-out pretty much resembles the same pattern. Now its just a question of whether the consumer-market will adjust to the new highs (prices). I certainly wont. I'm a 80-class man, demanding 90-class raster performance at 70ti-class prices. I know, A bit of a mess - might have to wait for a 50-series card and see if a 5070/5070ti mid-ranger can fill the gap (unless AMD steals me away).
4060-16GB for $500 is just madness! Probably a $550-$600 card by the time AIBs have added their embellishments and retailers have their say.
Although i have to admit:
- The cards in general are probably decent with modest performance bumps as expected (outside of nVs marketing BS). The main problem is price-divisioning, its thrown the entire class-categorisation in a whirlwind of self-prescribed in-house nv-scalping inflation. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth!
- The 16GB variant for half a thousand dollars is pants. But i'm glad to see 16GB adoption at this performance level regardless of price. Let the sheep buy what the sheep buy, for me its more about future higher VRAM standardisation across the board and if the sheep make that possible, the sheep are my champions!
- Now... this ones more individual-specific. Nvidias efficiency or lower power consumption definitely adds value for me. I've done far worse with $100/$200 cooling solutions to get everything running cool, quiet or even resulted to undervolting for lower power consumption/thermals. I'd pay "some" of that added tax for this development alone, only $1200 for a sought 4080 is not tax, its outright day-light-robbery.
Anyway i'm as stubborn as they come and pretty much see the whole jam with these eyes:
4060TI 16GB at over 549€ will put it very near to the 6800 series... I wonder if AMD will manage to launch something with 16GB below 500€.
GTX 1650 Die Size = 200 mm²
GTX 1650 Super . . = 284 mm²
RTX 3050 Die Size = 276 mm²
RTX 4060 Ti Die Size = 190 mm²
Be quick buyers, I'll say no more.
This isn't for me anyway but even if it was no Ty.
I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.
I just look at actual power consumption in a gaming scenario with cards which best reflect the desired performance, in thie case: 4070 TI/4080 or 7900 XT/XTX (although not feeling the 4070 TIs "12gb" VRAM)
power consumption: tpucdn.com/review/pny-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-oc/images/power-gaming.png
20ms spikes: tpucdn.com/review/pny-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-oc/images/power-spikes.png
Essentially RTX 4060 would probably be around -13% slower than a RTX 3060Ti in 1080p classic raster but instead of $350 is $300 with all the advantages of ada as a bonus.
Still RX6700 at $269 or a RX6700XT at $319 (for those that don't mind the extra power consumption) is also a very good deal but ada's advantages are too numerous to be ignored plus 115W opens a (big) market that RX6700XT is not a good fit.
If Nvidia decides to outfit RTX 4050 with 8GB at $249 it will fly of the shelves (but reports indicate 6GB which is a deal breaker in this day and age)
Happy trails,
"The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is on average 2.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU and 1.7x faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU. For titles without frame generation, the RTX 4060 Ti is 1.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU"
My math says 1.6 (real frames vs 2060S)/2.6 (fake frames vs 2060S) * 1.7 (fake frames vs 3060 Ti) ~= just 1.046 times real performance, on average. Except the 3060 Ti has architectural improvements over the 2060 Super, so I would expect the ratio to be smaller... what am I missing?
But for my desktop, I MUST continue to have only the best available. I have a Strix 4090. What really bothers me is I can't get EVGA products on this level. I don't like the competition.
RTX 3060 12GB to RTX 4060 8GB = 15% higher performance and got killed by the VRAM in 1440p for just only 299$ :roll:
in a different sight:
A750 to RTX 4060 = 15% performance gain 250$ vs 299$
:kookoo:
fck nvidia never ever buy any card of this bullshit company with its garbage leather jacket.
before ill buy nvidia again ill buy AMD, i had in the last 8 years only nvidia.
