News Nvidia's Purported GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB Release Date Spills

though it is unclear whether the company will let the press publish reviews of all for SKUs, or will limit itself to just disclose the specifications.

That seems unlikely. They can't publish reviews of all the 3 cards on the same day. Makes little sense. No vendor has done that. They will only disclose the specs of the three SKUs, with some vendor specific internal benchmarks, if need be.

The remaining 2 SKUs will get a review embargo just a day before their release, that is in JULY timeline.

Btw, a Singapore retail outlet has also listed 26th May as the shelf release date for the AMD Radeon RX 7600 8 GB graphics card though due to time zone differences, that's 25th May for the US residents, and the rest of the world.

So the MAY 24'th release date of the 4060 Ti 8GB SKU seems legit.

Nvidia has a gap in their pricing at $699.

There's a real chance that a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is priced at $699, either out of spite and/or to exploit all the people saying that 16GB of VRAM is somehow important in cards that can't run games at 4k.

You're having a laugh Nvidia!

Who in their right mind would buy the 8gb 4060ti, when the 16gb version will be the one to get and maybe a month or two down the line. Seems to me they've just nerfed sales the vanilla 4060ti before they get out of the box!

Nvidia marketing dept is on a second home run of bad releases! This segmentation is getting too much though.

Realistically, we can expect that neither version of the 4060 Ti is going to be "the one to get" when Nvidia still wants to convince you to buy the most expensive card possible. But if Nvidia makes 2 versions (whether or not the VRAM actually affects performance), then they wouldn't actually want anybody to buy the 8GB version because the 16GB version will be more profitable. If it costs them an extra $20 to make the 16GB version, it won't cost you $20 more to buy it. It will cost you $50 more, or $100 more.

It's extremely common to make low end products look like a bad value on purpose, in order to make customers believe they are somehow getting a better deal by spending more money on a higher margin product. It's a freshman-level mind-trick called decoy pricing.

Evidently Nvidia has decided it’s selling GPUs like cars now. Each lower end model gets multiple trims with the most expensive trims getting released first. With the highest trim just close enough to the next higher model that they might get an up sale. This is nearing in on Intel level ridiculous segmentation.

They're going to nerf the sales of the 4070ti with those 16GB cards.

Just when you think things can't get any crazier on the GPU front.......Nvidia starts waving frantically at us!!

Memory Configuration 128 bit?? Can we expect the 4050 to have 64 bit?? Anything possible with Nvidia.

I read the article you linked. Interesting. Hmm. :unsure:
