The GeForce RTX 4060 will become the flagship of NVIDIA’s new generation of mid-range graphics cards, supporting all the new technologies that defined the Ada Lovelace architecture. That means it will be equipped 3rd generation RT coresas the fourth generation of tensor kernels. It will also have a next generation “Optical Flow Accelerator” which means it will Compatible with DLSS 3.

Your market position will be perfectly defined because you will be a step below the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, a model that fits into the “complicated” category that we’ve known for a long time as the upper mid-range. From recent leaks and rumors, we know that the GeForce RTX 4060 will use the AD106 graphics core and that it could have the following specifications:

• AD106 graphics core in 5nm from TSMC.
• 3,840 shaders.
• GPU at 2505MHz-2640MHz, normal and turbo mode.
• 120 texturing units.
• 120 tensor kernels.
• 48 raster units.
• 30 RT cores.
• 128-bit bus.
• 8 GB of 18 GHz GDDR6 graphics memory (288 GB/s bandwidth).
• 24 MB L2 cache.
• 20.28 TFLOPs of performance in FP32.
• TGP: about 150 watts. It will use an additional 16-pin power connector (assuming NVIDIA releases a Founders Edition). It will include a 1 x 8 pin to 16 pin adapter.

Above: 2nd generation RT core (RTX 30). Under the third generation RT core (RTX 40).

Possible performance and release date of GeForce RTX 4060

Most likely GeForce RTX 4060 to be roughly on par with the GeForce RTX 3070 in raw performance, but it far exceeds it in ray tracing. The former will be more efficient than the former and will be cooler as it will offer more power per watt consumed and clearly offer value. thanks to DLSS 3 and image generationwhich is capable of creating another frame rendered entirely on the GPU for every two traditionally rendered frames.

The GeForce RTX 4070 and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti haven’t been released yet, so it’s very likely that the GeForce RTX 4060 won’t hit the market until mid-year. Given the data, NVIDIA may use the Computex stage to introduce it, which would guide us end of May or beginning of June.

We don’t know the price, but I’d bet about 500 euros, a number that would put it at half of what the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti costs, and that would leave NVIDIA enough margin to place the rest of the mid-range and high-end models.
