NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Rumored to Launch at $399 and $499

[GFreeman]

According to the latest rumor, the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti could be priced at $399 for the 8 GB and $499 for the 16 GB version. As rumored earlier, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB version is scheduled to launch on May 24th, while the 16 GB version will be launching in late July. The latest rumor comes from MEGAsizeGPU over at Twitter, who has a pretty good record when it comes to leaks, and was actually the first to leak the launch dates.

At $399, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB has the same launch price as the RTX 3060 Ti, back in December 2020. As said, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is rumored to launch on May 24th. AMD is also rumored to lift the review embargo for the Radeon RX 7600 graphics card on the same day, with availability expected on May 25th, so it will be an interesting battle for the mid-range market. At $499, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB version sounds a bit overpriced, and it will make it $100 cheaper than the GeForce RTX 4070. In the meantime, MSI RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 3X graphics card has been leaked by a French retailer, showing the card in its full glory. Unfortunately, the price was put just as a placeholder, so we do not have a lot more details. While the listing was removed in the meantime, Videocardz snatched a screenshot.

The only possible reaction: Meh.

 

[64K]

This is how Nvidia is going to screw customers. Two 4060 Ti with identical specs except one 4060 Ti will have 16 GB VRAM instead of 8 GB VRAM and cost $100 more.

I honestly don't know what the cost of an additional 8 GB DDR6 amounts to but I seriously doubt it justifies a $100 increase over the 8 GB version.

 

[3x0]

So, what you're telling me, almost 3 years since 3070 was launched, we get a 3070 with 16GB of VRAM and DLSS3?

 

[ZoneDymo]

The only possible reaction: Meh.

I think this deserves a stronger reaction then that.... fuck me its all going to crap, like who wants to pay that much money for such a meh product?

I mean imo only the high end is remotely interesting as an "objective" product, just looking performance for the visuals you get in modern games, which do not wow me at all.
And those are FAR too expensive....

imo honestly a 7900xt should be at most 600 bucks....but more like 540, and the rest of it a bit higher of course.

but no, 500 bucks for a 4060ti....500 bucks for such a mediocre piece of tech...who on earth would happily buy that?


These are just Nvidia's inflated Crypto prices they are keeping in place because endgame capitalism, you always need to make more profit then the year prior, they "cant" go back...and these stupid moron consumers just go along with it....

I agree, the prices are just outrageous now a days. It makes it hard to be a PC gamer. What is starting to happen is we are seeing more and more people keeping components longer.

4060 Ti is a quarter-range GPU (1/4 of full Lovelace) with a mid-range PCIe (only 8x). Just as x50 series (gtx950, 1650s, 3050...), but with a new name and a new price.

A renamed 4050 that costs $400 - $500. That someone tells Nvidia that mining & plandemic times have ended.

 

[Double-Click]

I see no generational leap here, just a fart in its general direction.

 

[HisDivineOrder]

I truly feel sorry for people buying a newly released 8GB card for $400 in mid-2023. They're getting scammed.

At most about $6 per GB so they are basically charging about double the bom cost for the ram increase. Guessing the 16GB is in a clamshell style like the vanilla 3090 so that probably adds more cost as well.

Basically a complicated way to make the gpu not shit and charging the consumer a decent $$$ for it.

 

[MrDweezil]

Would give it some real thought at $450. At $500, I'm buying a 6800XT.

It doesn't. It's obvious they're trying to nudge people towards the 4070. Upsell, upsell upsell.

Is that better than waiting almost 2 years and creating a GPU with lower performance than the original (I'm looking at you 3060 8GB) and still costing the same as the 12GB model?

$399 is a better price than the one I was expecting. $499 on the other hand is where I was expecting it to be. Considering how Nvidia is pricing 4000 series, I would say that the 8GB Ti version is $50 cheaper than what I was expecting. That will bring the NON Ti 4060 at the same price as the RX 7600, meaning AMD will probably drop RX 7600 at $250-$280 no matter the MSRP, which is rumored at $300-$330.

So, in a few months
RX 7600 $270
RTX 4060 $330
RTX 4060 Ti 8GB $400
RTX 4060 Ti 16GB $500.

10 years ago all prices would have been $100+ less from the above.

 

[Readlight]

The same as milk, real price in shop two times higher.

 

[bonehead123]

y/A/w/n....

Hopefully, there won't be very many silly fools who will fall for this crap, and the boxes will start collecting dust from sitting on the shelves for so long... then perhaps we'll see some moar realistic prices....

yea right

 

[Broken Processor]

On gumtree currently there are two 3090's for sale looking 500 each reduced from 700 relisted 3 times no one is buying them. I look forward to the same thing happening to 4090 as well and laughing. Buyer's of over priced tech are gonna find out the hard way.

 

[ixi]

Rtx 4060 for 500e. Ahahahah, no thanks.

 

[Arkz]

If this is the way we're going, then by the time I actually do wanna upgrade it's gonna be insane. Better bring back SLI/Crossfire and in a few years have a system with 3 old GPUs in instead.

 

[foo3]

the 8gb version, it may sell, looking at 3060ti, which is $399 msrp, $400 isnt too bad, but you'll be limited to 1080p, at $500 for 16, the 6800/xt looks much better

 

[Guwapo77]

To me this seems like you're paying an extra $100 because this card will actually be viable when the 5000 series launches in 2024/2025 or 2025/2026. We know Nvidia does not want to for their mid-range as it takes away from their bottom line.

 

[cmguigamf]

I agree, the prices are just outrageous now a days. It makes it hard to be a PC gamer. What is starting to happen is we are seeing more and more people keeping components longer.

Which in turn will keep prices high/higher, because nothing will sell that much. By 2030 a xx60 card will cost like $899.

 

[Dr. Dro]

I agree, the prices are just outrageous now a days. It makes it hard to be a PC gamer. What is starting to happen is we are seeing more and more people keeping components longer.

And naturally the next step is that they'll retaliate by lowering the useful life of these products by withholding software update support.

Instead of 8-10 years we'll get 4-5.

the 8gb version, it may sell, looking at 3060ti, which is $399 msrp, $400 isnt too bad, but you'll be limited to 1080p, at $500 for 16, the 6800/xt looks much better

The assumption that a previous generation graphics card that is on a whole different level of power consumption and thermal characteristics is an option is already a weird pitch but assuming that they'll always be available when you already can't find any unused non XT RX 6800 cards left in most of the world (due to it being a harvested product built out of Navi 21 cores that didn't make the cut) is a bit too much IMHO.

They are simply not a viable alternative.

I thought Apple pricing was bad, but $100 for an extra 8GB is not only ridiculous, but makes Apple memory upgrades look cheap!

 

[oxrufiioxo]

To be fair if this was apple like pricing we would be getting charged extra for the fans lmao.....

My guess is the memory is in the neighborhood of 40 extra and then the PCB having to be more complicated due to a clamshell design with memory on both sides also adding cost.... Still stupid pricing but if the base is 400 it's not surprising that it would cost 100 ish more. Now if they could do it single sided it likely would be like a 50-60 usd markup.
