After the rumor that NVIDIA would not release the GeForce RTX 4060 until July, the official confirmation came.
NVIDIA’s portfolio continues to expand. After the 8 GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti, the RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB and the RTX 4060 should actually follow in July. But one of the two graphics cards is coming a little earlier.
Like NVIDIA just confirmed, July will remain for the 16GB variant of the 4060 Ti, but the smaller RTX 4060 will go on sale as early as June, on June 29th to be precise. The price has also been fixed and, contrary to expectations, NVIDIA has not made a further reduction after AMD stayed below the 300 euro mark with the recently released Radeon 7600. So the starting price of 329 dollars remains for the smallest NVIDIA card of the Ada Lovelace architecture to date.
With the RTX 4060, NVIDIA wants to serve the mainstream/entry-level area for Full HD gaming. The card comes with 3,072 CUDA cores, a boost clock of 2.46 GHz and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 128-bit interface. Of course, the RTX 4060 supports ray tracing and DLSS 3 as a turbo for the refresh rates. With only 115W TDP, it is also very economical.
It remains to be seen whether the comparatively inexpensive card will be enough to revive the current slack in the graphics card market. Although the newer cards score with improved efficiency and features such as DLSS 3, the high prices deter many customers. Most recently, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB had to take harsh criticism – the customers thought 439 dollars and more for a (after all powerful) Full HD card with comparatively little RAM was too heavy.
Cyberpunk 2077 is said to be even more beautiful, improved by the new Ray Tracing: Overdrive mode and up to 4x performance increase with NVIDIA DLSS 3.
