MSI GeForce RTX 4060 models have appeared at Newegg with prices from $299 up to $329

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 26, 2023 10:56 PM CDT

Last week MSI announced its line-up of GeForce RTX 4060 graphics cards, with models set to launch this week in the company's well-known Ventux and Gaming product lines. Today, over at Newegg, we've got pricing for three models with retail pages live ahead of launch. These are currently listed as "Out of Stock," though that will change on June 29.

And with three models listed, we have confirmation that pricing for the GeForce RTX 4060 starts at USD 299, with the more premium variants costing USD 329. At least for MSI, we expect other brands to release higher-end variants to target the USD 329 price point.

For MSI, its MSRP model is the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G for USD 299, and the specs listed detail that it features 3072 CUDA Cores and a Boost Clock of 2490 MHz. VENTUS cards from MSI represent the entry-level GPUs from the company and, as we've seen from previous releases, deliver great results with adequate cooling and silent performance. These cards are also smaller than more premium models, and the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G's length of 199 mm is compact.

GeForce RTX 4060 benchmarks in Cyberpunk 2077 show it might not be great for overclocking

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 26, 2023 9:56 PM CDT

Ahead of the GeForce RTX 4060 launch this week, we've already seen some early previews showcasing DLSS performance in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray-tracing enabled using the game's hardware-intensive 'RT Ultra' mode.

In addition to some benchmarks we reported on earlier today, veteran tech YouTube channel JayzTwoCents got his hands-on the new ASUS RTX 4060 Dual model to see how it performs with a little tweaking and overclocking.

And the results aren't exactly earth-shattering, even with a noted higher TDP on the ASUS card of up to 130W and a clock speed boost of 100 MHz.In Cyberpunk 2077, with DLSS and the RT Ultra preset selected, we see the frame-rate increase from 80.8 fps to 82.3 fps, which is the sort of overclocking you'd consider negligible at 1.2%.

GeForce RTX 4060 benchmarks for Cyberpunk 2077 show DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 performance

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 26, 2023 8:29 AM CDT

After a few benchmark leaks covering some synthetic tests painting a picture of the GeForce RTX 4060 presenting a 20% raw performance uplift over the GeForce RTX 3060, it looks like we've now got some official (or at least NVIDIA-approved) looks at how the RTX 4060 performs in-game.

The game in question is Cyberpunk 2077, still one of the best-looking PC games available, and back in the headlines thanks to the upcoming September release of the Phantom Liberty expansion. NVIDIA has provided a few outlets early access to the GeForce RTX 4060, allowing them to post benchmark results using Cyberpunk 2077's hardware-intensive 'RT Ultra' setting with DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 enabled.

Over at AusGamers, the only stipulation was that DLSS needed to be set to Balanced, but other than that, there were no restrictions on what to test or compare performance with. And with that, we see in-game results compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (the STRIX OC model from ASUS) and the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (Founders Edition).

GeForce RTX 4060 3D Mark benchmarks show a 23% gen-on-gen uplift over the RTX 3060 12GB

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 26, 2023 12:56 AM CDT

3D Mark synthetic benchmarks covering APIs like DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and real-time ray-tracing are often good indicators of what to expect from new GeForce graphics cards from NVIDIA. This week will see the launch of the new mainstream GeForce RTX 4060, with its wallet-friendly price-point of USD 299 and promise of more efficient and better-than GeForce RTX 3060 performance with the DLSS 3 and Frame Generation bonus.

With cards like the GeForce GTX 1060, RTX 2060, and RTX 3060 representing the most popular gaming GPUs out there, the odds are that the upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 will become one of the biggest sellers for the new Ada Lovelace generation. And with that, there's a lot of interest in seeing how it performs.

Outlet Videocardz.com managed to get its hands-on some early benchmark results for the card, covering 3DMark scores from FireStrike (DirectX 11), TimeSpy (DirectX 12), and Port Royal (RT). Taking all of the numbers in, we learn that regarding these specific benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 performs roughly 23% faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB.

AFOX is launching a rare two-slot GeForce RTX 4090 with a blower fan

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 25, 2023 11:58 PM CDT

AFOX might not be a household name like other graphics card makers, but it's a company that has been in the game for over two decades - so it's a veteran regarding NVIDIA GeForce products. And its latest is very interesting, with the AFOX RTX 4090 (AF4090-24GD6XH4) presenting the flagship Ada GPU from NVIDIA in two-slot form with an old-school blower fan for cooling.

Using a blower fan also means it's shorter, length-wise, than the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition by over 30 centimeters. There aren't many GeForce RTX 4090 models out there that aren't 3.5 slots thick and long, too, so something like the AFOX RTX 4090 will be of interest to those with limited space in their case.

Specs-wise, there's no OC action here; it follows the reference design with a 2230 MHz base clock, a 2520 MHz boost clock, and a 450W power rating delivered over a single 16-pin power connector. This makes sense because blower-style fans for cooling are a relatively old-school way of cooling a GPU. They expel/blow hot air out of the rear of the GPU and are generally noisier than modern cooling solutions.

Is this a massive GeForce RTX 4090 Ti with a quad-slot cooler or an RTX 4090 prototype?

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 25, 2023 11:28 PM CDT

Earlier this year, we saw pictures of a four-slot Founders Edition for a potential GeForce RTX 4090 TI or TITAN-class Ada GPU that featured an interesting vertical orientation of the I/O ports. This indicated that the internal hardware would be configured vertically and positioned in a certain way to account for the extra cooling required.

Reports at the time indicated that dual 12VHPWR 16-pin connectors would be required to deliver over 800W of power. On top of that, it looks like this GeForce RTX 4090 TI or TITAN-class Ada GPU would also ship with 48GB of VRAM on a 384-bit memory bus.

This week comes new images courtesy of @ExperteVallah over on Twitter showcasing the cooler the rumored "Titan Ada" graphics card. Sitting next to a Founders Edition model from the GeForce RTX 30 Series makes it look absolutely huge, thanks to the quad-slot thickness. The images also reinforce the vertical configuration for the I/O ports, though these images are for a prototype without internal hardware.

Want to buy an AMD RX 6800 or 6900 GPU on the cheap? Time might be running out

Darren Allan | Jun 23, 2023 1:20 PM CDT

If you were hoping to buy one of AMD's higher-end Navi 21 GPUs, like the RX 6800, one of the graphics cards that stands out due to seeing some considerable price-cutting action of late, the sands of time could already be running against you.

At least if Moore's Law is Dead (MLID) is correct, having spoken to graphics card manufacturers recently and drawn a very interesting conclusion regarding the aforementioned RDNA 2 GPUs.

In a new video - where MLID discusses the confusion over what the next RDNA 3 GPU might be, and how AMD seems indecisive on that - the leaker touches on the subject of Navi 21 stock.

AMD's next RDNA 3 GPU could arrive in September - and may be a surprisingly affordable RX 7800

Darren Allan | Jun 23, 2023 10:58 AM CDT

AMD's next outing for its RDNA 3 family, following the recently released RX 7600, will be a more powerful GPU, and it should debut in September, according to the latest leakage.

AMD's next RDNA 3 GPU could arrive in September - and may be a surprisingly affordable RX 7800

However, what the rumor mill can't decide - due to AMD's apparent hesitancy around positioning the GPU - is exactly what model this graphics card (or maybe even multiple SKUs) will be.

The expected release, as per previous speculation, is the RX 7800 XT, and that's probably the most likely candidate to turn up, and certainly one the rumor mill is still mentioning.

NVIDIA confirms RTX 4060 GPU is on sale June 29, and is 20% faster than RTX 3060

Darren Allan | Jun 22, 2023 11:55 AM CDT

NVIDIA has published a blog post about the incoming RTX 4060 graphic card's 1080p gaming chops, confirming that it'll be on sale in a week, on June 29 (as was previously rumored).

NVIDIA provides comparisons against the RTX 3060 (and RTX 2060), giving us a firm idea of how the new most affordable ($299) Lovelace graphics card will perform.

The key overall metric is that the RTX 4060 is 20% faster than the RTX 3060 in most games (meaning those without DLSS 3 support). If a game does support DLSS 3, that obviously makes a huge difference, with NVIDIA reckoning that you'll get up to 70% better performance in this case.

Intel Arc A380 GPU is barely more than $100 now - and a steal at that price

Darren Allan | Jun 22, 2023 9:40 AM CDT

Intel's Arc A380 graphics card has hit an all-time low in terms of pricing, with a current offer at Newegg in the US that may prove very tempting to those looking for a truly cheap gaming GPU (where options are thin on the ground).

Intel Arc A380 GPU is barely more than $100 now - and a steal at that price

Hardware Unboxed tracks pricing on Newegg and in a new YouTube video, points out that the Arc A380 has sunk to $120 as of this month. Previously over the past couple of months, pricing was holding at the MSRP of $140 (though we have seen this GPU at $120 briefly before that).

In actual fact, Newegg has an offer on (that expires at the end of today, mind, while stocks last) for an extra 10% off certain GPUs, this A380 model included, meaning you can pick it up at even more of a bargain at $108 (using the mentioned code at checkout).
