NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 to Release on June 29
NVIDIA could be advancing the launch of its GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti) graphics card from its July 2023 launch the company originally announced. Leaked documents shared by MEGAsizeGPU say that NVIDIA could make the RTX 4060 available on June 29, which means reviews of the card could go live on June 28 for the MSRP cards, and June 29 for the premium ones priced above MSRP. It was earlier expected to launch alongside the 16 GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti, in July.
The RTX 4060 is a significantly different product from the RTX 4060 Ti the company launched in May, it is based on the smaller AD107 silicon. The card is expected to feature 3,072 CUDA cores, 24 RT cores, 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, compared to the 4,352 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, 136 Tensor cores, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, of the RTX 4060 Ti. The memory configuration is similar, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus, however, the memory speed is slightly lower, at 17 Gbps vs. 18 Gbps of the Ti. The RTX 4060 has a TGP of just 115 W. The company hasn't finalized its price, yet.

ReMeMbEr Y0U n33d DLSS.
haha i wouldn't be surprised, with as much of a shit show nvidia is pulling off
But I'm sure reviewers will greet it with standing ovations. Recommended, although it has worse proce / performance than the last generation card.
If it launches at $300 it's gives the market nothing that it doesn't already have, so it will do what all the other 40-series cards are doing which is sitting on store shelves waiting for discounts
Wouldn't be surprised if the 4060 is like only 4-8% faster at 1080p than the vanilla 3060 and equal/slightly worst at 1440p. Pretty embarassing considering their asking 2+ year old 3060 price for basically same performance and worst ram/bandwidth (reviewers will play up the power draw and DLSS 3.0 but be forced to admit that the actual real world performance is embarassing)
4060 is basically a RTX 2080 or 2080 Super even with DLSS3. RTX 3060 is a RTX 2070.
But hey if RTX 5060 is as fast as a 80-class 2 generations back and that is 3080 this would be pretty fast. I'll take a 4060 now and save for the RTX 5070 equals the 4080.yeah
Anyway, Nvidia will sell it somehow because people are gullible. Fake frames, anyone? Freshly baked fake frames! :rolleyes:
4060 has 16% fewer shaders, but the same higher clockspeed like the 4070 to 3070. So I reckon it will still be a bit faster than a 3060. It also has fewer ROPs like the 4070 to 3070. Has slightly fewer TMUs too. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes in at 5-10% faster when the reviews come in.
Still a bad product for the price. Should have more RAM and a lower price. But people keep buying them so... meh. Other than the 3060 Nvidia are so stingy with RAM. I wish my 3080 had more than 10GB.
And the 4060Ti and 4060 only having 8 lanes is pure BS. I pity anyone on a PCIE3.0 board buying one of these cards.
And if someone makes a sour face upon hearing about the 8 GB VRAM, Jensen will add "but... but... fake frames!".
When RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 came out, Jensen told us that the era of more performance for the same amount of money is over, and that Moore's Law is Dead (and shortly after tgat, Moire actually died).
But for the top two cards reviewers kind of could find a way to justify the price increase - we got the 50 - 60% generational uplift (standard, really, apart from couple releases) in rasterisation and ray-tracing, and on top of that - new technology, frame generation (although same can be said for every other generation, there's always something "ground breaking", even if it doesn't stick because it's too closed in).
But lower tier cards don't even remotely achieve normal generational uplift compared to their predecessors! Price is of course jacked up anyway, price / performance is abysmal, but Nvidia's marketing, and with it many reviewers are showing us frame generated numbers and applauding these sub-par releases.
Again, who are they fooling with this? Did their marketing look at the AI field at the start of this generation and decided that they don't need gamers this round, same as with cryptomining?
All they have right now are forecasts of large increase of sale for AI. Gamers need not apply, even gaming cards are being promoted as perfect accelerators for small, home AI uses, for example for Stable Diffusion etc...
Nvidia is so full of sh*t with their 40 series cards... It's no joke.
My 2018 build, now passed over to my 11 year old son, is still going strong: B450, 5950X, GTX 1070 Ti, 32GB DDR4 3200.
Paired with a 34" 2560x1080 75Hz monitor (G-Sync enabled) with a lot of settings still being able to get maxed out at that resolution in most of the games he likes to play.
I see no need to upgrade this old PC with a better GPU, considering the resolution and fairly low refresh rate on that monitor, so nVidia p*ss off with your sh*te *horrible price to performance* GPUs. We'll let it sit on the shelves.
