NVIDIA announces the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, 8GB model for $399 and 16GB for $499

Kosta Andreadis | May 18, 2023 8:00 AM CDT

After months of speculation and leaks, NVIDIA has formally announced the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, with an 8GB model coming May 24 for USD 399 and a 16GB model in July for USD 499. During the presentation for the new GPUs, NVIDIA did note that outside of the difference in VRAM capacity, both models feature the same underlying specs.

For the 8GB model coming on May 24, the MSRP of USD399 is in line with previous-generation graphics cards, the RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 2060 SUPER. In terms of expected in-game performance, which is the big question for many out there, 1080p gaming on the new RTX 4060 Ti will deliver a 1.15X increase (15%) in rasterized performance compared to the RTX 3060 Ti and a 1.6X increase (60%) over the RTX 2060 SUPER.

Like other GeForce RTX 40 Series models, the new RTX 4060 Ti will benefit from RTX technologies exclusive to the Ada Lovelace architecture, including AV1 encoding for content creators and DLSS 3 rendering with the AI-enhanced Frame Generation. With Frame Generation enabled (in supported titles), the performance increase compared to the RTX 3060 Ti jumps up to 1.7X, with that figure rising to an impressive 2.6X compared to the RTX 2060 SUPER.

AMD RX 7600 GPU specs spilled ahead of imminent NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti launch

Darren Allan | May 18, 2023 6:56 AM CDT

AMD's Radeon RX 7600 GPU, the firm's purported response to the imminent NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti, has witnessed another spec leak, this time from GPU-Z.

AMD RX 7600 GPU specs spilled ahead of imminent NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti launch

The GPU-Z info was sent over to VideoCardz, and it underlines previous speculation, showing that the RX 7600 is set to run with 2,048 Stream Processors (graphics cores).

The RX 7600 will be equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 video memory and a 128-bit bus, if the spec details provided aren't fabricated somehow (as always, we must leave some room for doubt with any leak).

VideoCardz spotted the product listings at PC Canada (thanks to a keen-eyed reader) for two models of the RX 7600, the first of which was the (much-leaked-already) Sapphire Pulse graphics card priced at $452 (Canadian), which roughly converts to $335 in the US.

The other product, an MSI Mech 2X Classic spin on the RX 7600, was listed at $444 (Canadian) or about $339 in the US. (Interestingly, that MSI listing has now been yanked down, but the above Sapphire card remains - it may not by the time you read this, mind).

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti leak shows it's not much faster than 3060 Ti, but don't panic

Darren Allan | May 17, 2023 7:51 AM CDT

NVIDIA's RTX 4060 Ti has been spotted in a leaked benchmark that gives us an idea of performance - sort of - and imparts more info on the spec front, matching up with previous rumors.

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti leak shows it's not much faster than 3060 Ti, but don't panic

The Geekbench 5 result was flagged up by Benchleaks on Twitter, a common source of, erm, benchmark leaks as you might guess (spotted by VideoCardz).

It shows a PC with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti that has 4,352 CUDA cores, backing up what we've already heard from the rumor mill as to this graphic card's core configuration. The boost speed is shown hitting 2.54GHz, too.

Intrel Arc Graphics driver release adds game support and updates Arc Control

Kosta Andreadis | May 16, 2023 11:28 PM CDT

Intel's latest Game On Driver for Intel Arc Graphics is here, supporting some new PC game releases like Starship Troopers: Extermination, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, and the online co-op horror of The Outlast Trials.

Intrel Arc Graphics driver release adds game support and updates Arc Control

When it comes to the in-game performance for the fun-looking riff on a classic sci-fi film, Starship Troopers: Extermination, Intel notes that the Intel Arc A750 Graphics card can deliver better greater-than-60fps performance than the GeForce RTX 3060 12Gb at both 1080p and 1440p using the 'Epic' and 'High' settings respectively. The game also supports Intel's DLSS-like AI upscaling in the form of Intel XeSS - which can help push 1440p performance to around 115fps.

For next week's launch of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, the new Game On Driver will lead to a smooth 60fps on the Intel Arc A750. Another Intel XeSS highlight for the new driver release is support for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to support the recent next-gen update that brought ray tracing and more advanced visuals to the iconic RPG. XeSS will allow for near 60fps performance using the game's demanding Ultra settings on the Intel Arc A750, though that's using the XeSS 'Performance' mode.

Report on poor RTX 4070 sales casts doubt on NVIDIA's appetite for gaming GPUs

Darren Allan | May 16, 2023 12:40 PM CDT

NVIDIA's RTX 4070 graphics card sales are flagging more than expected, if a new report is to be believed.

Report on poor RTX 4070 sales casts doubt on NVIDIA's appetite for gaming GPUs

IT Home, a regular source of leaks from China - but one that must be treated with some caution in our books - claims it has heard that NVIDIA is extending the pause on the manufacturing of RTX 4070 chips for longer than originally intended.

That original plan had been to take a break from shipping RTX 4070 GPUs to Chinese graphics card makers for one month, to let unexpectedly sluggish levels of sales catch up with the existing stock out there (and the graphics cards coming through already in the pipeline).

NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti could be on borrowed time, so get ready for some GPU bargains

Darren Allan | May 16, 2023 10:30 AM CDT

NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti is about to exit stage left, with Team Green planning to cease production of the GPU imminently - the GA104 chip, specifically - if chatter from the grapevine is correct.

NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti could be on borrowed time, so get ready for some GPU bargains

Benchlife brings the news that NVIDIA no longer supplies GeForce RTX 3060 Ti chips to its graphics card manufacturing partners (with the Chinese tech site hearing about this directly from those Add-in board makers).

As you likely realize, time is being called on production due to the incoming RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti models (the latter will supposedly come in 8GB and 16GB variants).

How fast is AMD's RX 7900 XTX with no power limit? It can match the RTX 4090 GPU

Darren Allan | May 16, 2023 7:46 AM CDT

AMD's RDNA 3 flagship GPU can match its Lovelace rival, the RTX 4090, just about, as a new experiment with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX proved - but there are some weighty caveats here.

How fast is AMD's RX 7900 XTX with no power limit? It can match the RTX 4090 GPU

PC Gamer spotted that an intrepid 7900 XTX owner conducted a test inspired by the question: "What could the 7900 XTX do if AMD didn't handicap it with highly restrictive power limits?"

That person, Jedi95, then detailed the results of juicing up their ASUS TUF Radeon RX 7900 XTX to the max on Reddit, and it makes for very interesting reading.

Price drops in China give us hope for a cheaper NVIDIA RTX 4080 GPU in the US

Darren Allan | May 15, 2023 10:10 AM CDT

NVIDIA's RTX 4080 graphics card is falling fast in price over in Asia, giving us hope that it'll drop by similarly hefty percentages compared to the MSRP in the US.

Price drops in China give us hope for a cheaper NVIDIA RTX 4080 GPU in the US

As Wccftech points out (via VideoCardz), the Manli Gallardo model of the RTX 4080 can now be had for 7399 RMB in China, representing a 22% drop from the suggested retail price of 9499 RMB.

The same level of price drop in the US would mean you could get an RTX 4080 for $1,060, which, as Wccftech observes, is about $50 cheaper than the lowest price tag seen so far.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM will require 5W more in power

Kosta Andreadis | May 15, 2023 12:57 AM CDT

With all the debate surrounding VRAM capacity for playing modern PC games, the rumor is that NVIDIA plans to release a 16GB variant of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti sometime in July. This will follow the launch of the 8GB model planned for later this month, though both models have yet to be officially announced.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM will require 5W more in power

The reason for the slight delay, assuming this is a direct response to the vocal community wanting to see more 16GB cards, looks to come down to power. According to new reports, the 16GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti will feature a different GPU than the AD106-350 chip in the 8GB model.

The jump is minor, to 351, with a new power rating of 165W - 5W higher than the 8GB model. This information comes via Videocardz.com, which cites NVIDIA documents provided to its board partners as the source. Full details for the AD106-351 chip have not been made public (officially or leak-wise). Still, the expectation is that things like CUDA Core counts and even memory speeds (18 Gbps) will remain the same, with the only difference being capacity.
