NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Possible Specs Surface—160 W Power, Debuts AD106 Silicon

Jan 19th, 2023 01:48 Discuss (164 Comments)

NVIDIA's next GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" graphics card launch is widely expected to be the GeForce RTX 4070 (non-Ti), and as we approach Spring 2023, the company is expected to ramp up to the meat of its new generation, with xx60-segment, beginning with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. This new performance-segment SKU debuts the 4 nm "AD106" silicon. A set of leaks by kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks, shed light on possible specifications.

The RTX 4060 Ti is based on the AD106 silicon, which is expected to be much smaller than the AD104 powering the RTX 4070 series. The reference board developed at NVIDIA, codenamed PG190, is reportedly tiny, and yet it features the 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector. This is probably set for 300 W at its signal pins, and adapters included with graphics cards could convert two 8-pin PCIe into one 300 W 16-pin connector. The RTX 4060 Ti is expected to come with a typical graphics power value of 160 W.

At this point we don't know whether the RTX 4060 Ti maxes out the AD106, but its rumored specs read as follows: 4,352 CUDA cores across 34 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 34 RT cores, 136 Tensor cores, 136 TMUs, and an unknown ROP count. The GPU is expected to feature a 128-bit wide GDDR6/X memory interface, and 8 GB could remain the standard memory size. NVIDIA is expected to use JEDEC-standard 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory, which should yield 288 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It will be very interesting to see how much faster the RTX 4060 Ti is over its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti, given that it has barely two-thirds the memory bandwidth. NVIDIA has made several architectural improvements to the memory sub-system with "Ada," and the AD106 is expected to get a large 32 MB L2 cache.

smells to me like these cards will cost 700$, and perform slightly worse than the RTX3080 as to not cannibalize it.

oh yeah, most def around 600 to 700

well my 6800 xt at $540 matches a 4070 ti in some games, beats it in others, and loses in a few. so... much like the 4070 ti this is already dead on arrival for 6800 xt owners. lol

Well I mean I think its silly to upgrade gen on gen myself so it should be DOA for any person who owns a previous gen product, but thats just me.

Minus Infinity

160 bit bus, $599, raster about 370 Ti levels at best. AD104 should have been for 4060 Ti, AD103 for 4070/4070Ti, AD102 4080/4090. AD106 for 4050.

It's a lot slower than a 4080, less than half. Best case 3070, worse 3060Ti, replacing either one at the original price point of 399-499

Too bad for nGreedia, $700 is not mainstream

And now i'm happy i got a 4070 Ti instead, i really don't want 8GB for long term use.

tvshacker

I'm curious If they're going to update the Portal RTX system requirements as these cards are being launched. I hoped that the 4060Ti would show up on the "Recommended" requirements (along with the 3080), but seeing this "leak" I'm not sure, most likely the 4070 (non-Ti)

This sounded like such a ridicilous claim that I went through all 25 games in the TPU review and there isn't a single one where the 6800xt beats the 4070Ti. Not even in AMD sponsered ones like Valhalla. Almost none where it matched it either.

I bet you can find some games somewhere (maybe the recent COD) but talk about a massive confirmation bias.

So is this a 4050 Super being rebadged as 4060Ti to be sold for 2x the MSRP of last gen 3060Ti which it is supposed to replace? Given how many non "flagship"(from both AMD and nVidia) cards are sitting on shelves at retailers wont be surprised to see consumers giving even this one a cold shoulder.

My guess is a MSRP around $550. Essentially from the specs it is a lower midrange Ada so $550 is absurd but the whole Ada stack has been absurdly priced so nothing new there.

The 4070 Ti MSRP is $800. In reality you will have to pay between $880 and $1,100 at the retail level so who knows what the real world price of the 4060 Ti will be.

This will probably be a lot less attractive than 3060ti since that card was basically a slightly slower 3070, while this card will be a slightly better 4060.

Your 6800XT is not even close. 4070 Ti is ~20% faster than 6800XT and 3080 overall at 1440p.

In newer games its more like 25-30%.

Also 4070 Ti is doing that with 50-75w less + DLSS, DLDSR, NvEnc and way more features in generel + Better RT

Yes you can probably cherrypick a game or two 6800XT wins slightly, but overall it does not and in some other games, the 4070 Ti is over 30% faster than 6800 XT as well.

In most new games 4070 Ti is 25% faster than 6800XT stock vs stock. Old games is dragging down the perf of 4000 series in comparisons, because of no optimizations. Thats why performance is better in newer/popular titles in general.

So unless you have overclocked your 6800XT to the absolute limit (and looking at 400-500 watt usage) then your 6800XT is not even close.

4070 Ti beats even 6900XT with like 15%...

You sound like people with 3080 that thinks their 3080 also performs just like a 4070 Ti, it don't.

Both 3080 and 6800XT are 20-25-30% behind 4070 Ti depending on title, in GPU limited games.

Yea, was going to reply something similar to him but i figured its pointless. He is too far gone.

Shame for the use of 12vhpwr in the lower mid range level, a 160-200w gpu need just one 8pin+PCIE. The use of adapter will be silly.

NV should enabled AIB to choose the power connector with sub 200w GPU so the good old and cost efficienct 8 pin will be an option.

Next on we will have the 100w 4050 with that connector...

benchmarks don't always paint the whole story. for example in God of War, W1zz is using a stock 6800 xt. my 6800 xt gets an extra 10-12 fps in God of War with my OC, boost clock never goes below 2500 core -

I get about 110 in Ultra 1440p, so 4070 ti is only 13 fps faster and is $800 vs $540.

meh.

4070 Ti can overclock as well and you will still loose in pretty much all new games anyway + You use 100 watts more for lower performance and will have way less features than a RTX card.

So lets stop pretending.

You are simply not even close with a 6800XT;

a 20 fps gain on average at 1440p is not worth an extra $270 to me personally.

true I could OC a 4070 ti too, but that wasn't my point, I was saying best bang for buck is an oc'd 6800 xt.

also electricity is cheap where I live, meh.

Nah last gen cards are EoL and not worth touching unless you get a huge discount.

People always act like you do when new gen cards come out and beats their old card, I know the feeling.

4070 Ti beats 6800XT in every way possible and it will beat it even more in 6-12 months due to optimizations and new games coming out. It even beats 6900XT, 3080 Ti and 3090 with ease, pretty much performs like a 3090 Ti at 1440p, so nah, 6800XT is not close at all...

Nice downgrade.

Don't forget you get a price hike with the downgrade and Memory Bus width cut in half which........blows chunks.

TPU uses custom scenes, usually not the built in benchmark. They also use a stripped down version of windows so the performance-numbers for the current scenarios is usually pretty accurate, but using other segments of the game or the built in bench will usually yield somewhat different results.

128-bit 8gb probably $599, but then $899 on eBay.

Why are you all so sentimental about memory bit size and die name (or naming at all)?
Sufficient GDDR and price\pref is what matters, all else is just random spec blubber.
