In NVIDIA’s next-generation graphics card catalog, the GeForce RTX 4060 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated models, and it’s perfectly normal, because it will star product of those in green to cover the middle band. We knew it would launch this summer, although we couldn’t pinpoint the exact month.

According to a recent leak, the GeForce RTX 4060 will arrive the month of Julyright after the launch of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, which should hit stores at the end of the same month of May. None of what we said is officially confirmed, but this information makes sense and fits perfectly with the strategy that NVIDIA has adopted, so it should be followed.

Regarding the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, we are clear about its specifications and possible performance, but in the case of the GeForce RTX 4060, it is a bit more complicated, especially since its specifications have not yet been confirmed. Some media reports that it will have a total of 3,072 shaders, just like the mobile version, but that could be wrongas the notebook models of the GeForce RTX 40 series do not have the same number of shaders as their desktop counterparts.

Consider, for example, the GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile, which has 4,608 shaders, while the desktop version has 5,888 shaders, and That would put the 3,072 shaders below the 3,584 shaders found on the GeForce RTX 3060.. Since nothing is definitive yet, we can only wait for NVIDIA to make a move. Fortunately, the wait won’t be too long because as we said, the launch of the GeForce RTX 4060 will take place in July.

What seems to be quite clear is that said graphics card will be configured with 8 GB of graphics memory, the same figure that the Ti version will have, although we have a small surprise for the latter, and that according to a new rumor NVIDIA would be preparing a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti configured with 16 GB graphics memory, which would also hit the market in July.

In terms of performance, the GeForce RTX 4060 should be around $399, it will offer similar performance to the GeForce RTX 3070 in raster with much lower consumption, but it will clearly beat it in ray tracing and will have the appeal of supporting frame generation via DLSS 3. Version Ti should be in the $499 range, roughly on par with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in terms of raw performance, have much lower power consumption, be more powerful in ray rendering, and support generations of frames.
