NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Graphics Card Confirmed To Launch on 29th June For $299 US

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card was originally planned for launch in July alongside the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB graphics card but it looks like the company has officially changed those plans and will now be introducing the most affordable Ada offering on the 29th of June for a price of $299 US.

The GeForce RTX 4060 will now be available to order starting June 29, at 6AM Pacific.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (Non-Ti) is a graphics card that most gamers would like to upgrade to given its price point and the feature set it has to offer. Coming in at $30 US lower than the GeForce RTX 3060, the RTX 4060 packs all the goodies you’d expect from Ada at a much more affordable price point while delivering a good gen-over-gen performance upgrade.

“The RTX 4060 family delivers PC gamers both great value and great performance at 1080p, whether they’re building a gaming battle box or an AI-assisted creation station,” said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “These GPUs deliver an incredible upgrade, starting at just $299, putting Ada Lovelace and DLSS 3 in the hands of millions more worldwide.”

The company has already disclosed the specifications and performance numbers which show the card to offer a 20% improvement over the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB in traditional rasterization and bigger gains when RT and DLSS are factored in.

For $299 US, you are getting up to a 70% increase (with DLSS 3) and a 20% increase (without DLSS) over the RTX 3060. Now the thing about the RTX 3060 is that while it did pack a higher VRAM of 12 GB & a wider bus interface, all the memory management technologies we talked about in the RTX 4060 Ti article apply to the RTX 4060 which means it carries up to 24 MB of L2 cache which is once again, an 8x uplift over the RTX 3060.

So while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 did pack more VRAM & a wider bus, the RTX 4060 is still faster at 1080p, & the difference that the higher L2 cache makes really shows in the 1% Low FPS where the lead over the RTX 3060 widens even more.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Specifications

For the GeForce RTX 4060, NVIDIA is expected to utilize the AD107-400-A1 GPU, the fully enabled AD107 Ada die. Do note that the same configuration is used by the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The chip is expected to feature 3072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 17 Gbps memory speeds across a 128-bit bus interface. That gives the card 272 GB/s bandwidth which is effectively rated at 453 GB/s or 26% more than the RTX 3060. That’s all thanks to the 24 MB of L2 cache.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 should end up with a 35% lower TGP than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 12 GB. The card is said to feature a 115W TGP but actual gaming power consumption should be around 110W with idle power rated at 7W and video playback power rated at 11W. The card will be available in various custom models at launch but there will be no Founders Edition variant for it.
