The rumored specs for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card appear to have been disclosed by leaker Kopite7kimi. Even though authentic, early board information is only sometimes final, we should remind our readers of this.
The practice of NVIDIA of sharing various specifications with board partners but frequently altering them at the last minute is mainly well known. What NVIDIA did with the RTX 4080 12GB/4070 Ti demonstrates precisely how things can change even after the product has been announced.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti To Feature AD106 GPU, 4352 Cores, 8 GB GDDR6 Memory & 220W TDP: Rumors
We already realize that NVIDIA will lead the charge in 2023 with its GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, but the green team also has entry-level models in the RTX 4070 and 4060 Ti series in mind. The GeForce RTX 4070’s rumored standards were made public last week, and Kopite7kimi is now looking at the RTX 4060 Ti GPU’s potential specs. This GPU is anticipated to go on sale in the middle of 2023.
Starting with the technical details, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti should be released for less than $500 US. It will employ the Ada AD106-350-A1 GPU SKU and feature the 5nm Ada Lovelace architecture. The GPU will have 256 fewer cores, or 4352 CUDA cores, than the chip’s entire set – up, which includes 30 SMs, or 4608 cores. The GPU will also have 32 MB of L2 cache and a TDP of 220W, which is 30W less than the RTX 4070’s awaited TDP and 20W more than the RTX 3060 Ti.
Regarding memory setup, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti would have an 8 GB capacity with up to 18 Gbps speeds in the familiar GDDR6 flavors. Although the 3060 Ti got a GDDR6X upgrade several months after its release, NVIDIA will have to do more than give the GDDR6X treatment to its mainstream line. This could be saved for a future relaunch with more cores and speedier memory. This card will provide 288 GB per second of frequency band with 18 Gbps memory and a 128-bit bus interface.
It is also noted that the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 Ti is centered on the PG190 styling and should have a very quick reference PCB. The 220W TDP can be satisfied by a single 8-pin connector (150W+75W). However, the PCB still uses the PCIe Gen5 ’12VHPWR’ connector, suggesting that NVIDIA wants to standardize the new USB connection across its entire lineup. By CES 2023, NVIDIA’s mainstream Ada GPUs will be making their debut in the laptop market, and by the middle of 2023, we can expect to see them on desktops too.
