Nvidia Rumored to Unveil Three GeForce RTX 4060-Series Cards in May, Up to 16GB : Read more

At this point, it is unclear whether Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and 16GB will rely on the AD104 graphics processor in the same configuration with 4352 CUDA cores, but this is certainly a likely scenario.

The RTX 4060 Ti will utilize the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, and not 104, which is slightly a cut-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip. This should give the card 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, 16/8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, and 288 GB/s of bandwidth.

There's also 32 MB of L2 cache. According to previous leaks, the 16 GB variant utilizes the PG190 SKU 363 PCB, while the 8 GB variant utilizes the PG190 SKU 361 PCB.

I think the 190 PCB might be used for the Founder's Edition model, and reference AIB cards should sport the PG173 board instead.

As for the vanilla GeForce RTX 4060, it will feature AD106 with 3072 CUDA cores and will therefore consume even less power, so expect low-profile and perhaps even single-slot graphics cards based on this GPU.

No, the RTX 4060 will actually sport the AD107-400-A1 GPU, the fully enabled AD107 die (PG173 SKU 371 PCB design). The current GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU also comes in the same config.

So based on this, the card should get 3072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps memory speeds across a 128-bit bus interface, within a 110W - 115W reference TDP. And obviously, it will also sport 24 MB of cache (L2).

If they do release a 16GB variant of any of the 4060's, then I'll give a nod to Jensen, for sure.

Not because this tier needs the 16GB badly, but this tier is definitely a great trade off for budget enthusiasts to get into AI and other non-gamer stuffs, including video editing and such. It does look kind of dumb on paper, but it is something I'd celebrate more than mock at this point.

Regards.

Three different 4060's, some manufacturer will produce 27 different cards for it.

If Nvidia could find the mercy to launch the 4060 ti 16GB at $429 and the 8GB model at $399 and the 4060 at $349 that would be great bang for the buck, especially considering how this generation has gone so far for Nvidia.

All I would like to know is; when are the 4070 and 4070 Tis coming with 16GB? Will this be the 4070 Super, and the 4070 Ti Super Duper variants? Come on, Mr. Leather Jacket! You have enough jackets for now. Stop this nonsense and give the people what they want.

I am happy to see a 16GB option but not exactly surprised as ther 60(Ti) class cards typically has two different memory skus. Unfortunately for now it seems 16GB is limited to the Ti model. I would really like to see a base RTX 4060 16GB as well as a RTX 4070 (Ti)/4080 with more ram as well. I prefer a memory bus that isn't hobbled in the case of the 70/80 class but depending on their performance when using greater than 12/16GB respectively, I might be convinced. I still have one more PC to build this year after I finish my wifes which is on hold until the Ryzen X3D gets squared away without a bug riddled firmware like currently. Point being I would love to see a higher capacity 70 (Ti) class option for my nephew's build.

Unfortunately without hobbling the memory bus its not possible at this time using the AD104 die unless they use different silicon. But they could use cut down AD103 die (ie 4080) to pull it off though I find that unlikely for a base RTX 4070 due to costs...but the 4070Ti, that I could see.

How they could do 16Gb with 128bit memory bus?
There are not even 3Gb memory chips, not to talk about 4Gb memory chips. Without those 16gb is just impossible, unles they have very complex memory handling system that divides normal 32 but bus to two... Sound really slow, if that would be true.
So I don´t believe this rumor! Too much that does not make sense... We know that 3gb memory chips are supposed to be in development so 12Gb would be possible sometimes in the future. Is there 4gb chips even in preproduction? Most likely in development though... but that can mean anything to one year to couple of years to come to the market.

bunch of overpriced crap

 

[peterf28]

I am not even interested in the RTX 4000 series anymore, I am sicken with what NVIDIA is pulling off. I just don't want to read about this crap anymore. Ignoring 4000 series from now on totally, not even reading articles.

 

[korekan]

dont have too much expectation.
16GB might cost $599.

 

[nitrium]

If the 4060 (not Ti) isn't ~2x as fast my old RTX 2060 at 1080p gaming, I'll probably skip it (even though I am in the market for a new GPU). At this point I'd say the chances of a 2x increase over that of 2 gens prior are almost zero. If they can't double the speed after over four years for the same money (inflation adjusted) then we really are approaching GPU tech stagnation.

 

[Gauche Cockney]

Crap, XX60 series used to be an $300 entry level card, besides that there is little improvement from 3000 to 4000 consider the further price increase.

I agree. Why on earth does a 70-class GPU in 2023 only have 12 GB VRAM, and why does an 80-class GPU only have 16 GB VRAM? This is not justified at all, and the 40 series costs too much anyway. However, the 16 GB 4060 Ti does interest me...
