Nvidia is set to release the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card, the first real midrange Lovelace GPU of the brand. The new graphics card will follow up the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which was declared the best graphics card for most people when it was launched in December 2020. The RTX 4060 Ti is expected to launch at the same MSRP as the RTX 3060 Ti, but there have been reports that the card may launch at a $50 increase. There may be more than one memory variant, which could account for the increased price point. The RTX 4060 Ti is expected to launch sometime near the end of May 2023, but Nvidia has not made any official announcements yet.
The graphics card market has been unaffordable for the past few years, with sales of the RTX 4070 reportedly slow due to its pricing. Gamers are holding out for the release of the RTX 4060 Ti to see if it’s worth spending extra cash before making the investment. AMD is also rumored to be preparing a midrange GPU of its own around the same time, setting up a potential battle on launch day between the first two midrange cards to land this generation.
There isn’t much information about the RTX 4060 Ti yet, but there may be two variants of the graphics card released over the next two months. The first is an 8GB VRAM variant expected to launch by the end of May, while another 16GB VRAM variant could land about a month or so later, in July 2023. Both cards are expected to have a 128-bit memory bus, which is half of what the RTX 3060 Ti offered. The RTX 4060 Ti is also expected to have fewer streaming multiprocessors (SMs) which are the core architectural block in the GPU.
Gamers everywhere are eager to see the details of the RTX 4060 Ti ahead of time to decide which card to buy on launch day. It is expected that the RTX 4060 Ti will be one of the most popular graphics cards of this generation. Nvidia’s tight-lipped marketing team is keeping everything under wraps until the very last second, but it looks like the RTX 4060 Ti’s AD106 GPU is being produced using TSMC, which is next-generation hardware.
