Nvidia’s new graphics card, the RTX 4060 Ti, is expected to hit shelves by the end of May, according to the latest rumors. While there is still no confirmation about the release date of the vanilla RTX 4060, leaked information from VideoCardz indicates that the RTX 4060 Ti will be shipping on May 5, ahead of an end-of-May product announcement and on-sale date. It is unclear whether the launch will coincide with product availability, or whether there will be a gap between the reveal and the actual release.
Meanwhile, the base RTX 4060 is still marked as “To Be Determined,” which suggests that it will be later to arrive than the RTX 4060 Ti. However, given that rumors have been circulating for some time that the RTX 4060 Ti will launch at Computex (end of May), it seems likely that the card will go on sale by the end of the month.
The RTX 4060 Ti has been the subject of much speculation, with some concerns that the specs may not be impressive enough. In particular, the purported 8GB of VRAM is looking like a meager allocation, even for 1080p gaming. Nevertheless, the pricing of the card remains a mystery, with some suggesting that it may cost as much as $450. However, others have speculated that the price tag could be closer to $399, and it is possible that Nvidia is still making a final decision on pricing.
Nvidia will also need to factor in the release of AMD’s rival RX 7600, which is reportedly set to launch on May 25. This card could potentially steal some of Nvidia’s thunder, making it even more important for the RTX 4060 Ti to be competitively priced and offer strong specs.
Overall, it seems likely that the RTX 4060 Ti will be available by the end of May, with the release of the vanilla RTX 4060 still to be determined. While concerns remain about the specs and pricing of the new card, Nvidia will need to ensure that it offers strong value and can compete with AMD’s upcoming release.
