The leak allowed us to unofficially confirm that the launch of the GeForce RTX 4060 will take place earlier than expected. Its arrival was scheduled for July, but we already know that the first pieces will start arriving in stores from June 29. The first analyzes will be published the day before.

The GeForce RTX 4060 has become one of the most anticipated graphics cards today, and for good reason: it will the cheapest option within the NVIDIA catalog to have DLSS 3 supporttechnology that allows one completely independent image to be generated by AI for every two traditionally rendered images.

Thanks to the official information shared by NVIDIA, we already have all the details about the GeForce RTX 4060, including its specifications and consumption values, performance in FP32, ray tracing and AI, and we also know the retail price, which will be around $299 335 euros in Spain, so we’ll take advantage of this news to talk about three important issues: its competitors, its estimated performance and the type of user it is targeting.

GeForce RTX 4060: Who will it compete with and what performance can we expect?

NVIDIA’s new graphics card will target the mid-range and it will have to compete with the Radeon RX 7600a graphics card that was actually in the same price range as the GeForce RTX 4060.

AMD’s graphics solution is found in raw power slightly above Radeon RX 6700 at 1080p (on average)which puts it on par with the GeForce RTX 2080, although its TBP is high for its range (165 watts) and it also reaches high operating temperatures in the reference model.

The GeForce RTX 4060 will most likely offer similar or slightly lower performance than GeForce RTX 2080 Superwhich would bring it very close to the Radeon RX 7600 in terms of raw performance, but the former would have three important advantages: it would have much lower power consumption (TGP 110 watts), it would be much cooler, and it would support DLSS 3.

What user profile is the GeForce RTX 4060 aimed at?

I believe that NVIDIA has been approaching this graphics card since its initial concept as an economical and efficient option. intended for users who:

• You want to upgrade your computer without having to change the power supplyand without having to think about updating other components, except in extreme cases of very old equipment.
• They want to build a new 1080p gaming PC with all the guaranteesbut they are on a tight budget and cannot spend more than 600 euros

It is clear that the GeForce RTX 4060 Thanks to NVIDIA’s commitment to L2 cache, it will run especially smoothly at 1080pwhich increases from 3 MB to 24 MB, and the subsequent reduction of the memory bus, which goes from 192 bits to 128 bits.

Obviously, it will also have the power to run games smoothly at 1440p, but the optimal level for this graphics card will be 1080p due to its design and architecture. However, with DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 we will be able to play at full 1440p resolution.
