The whistleblower @Kopite7kimi gave some specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 desktop graphics card today.
It is said that the regular version of the RTX 4060 desktop graphics card will use the AD107 GPU for the first time. But you need to know that most of the 60-class graphics cards in NVIDIA’s previous product line are based on 106 or 104 GPUs. This is the first time we have seen desktop-class 60-class graphics cards based on 107 GPUs, and the new card has 4GB less memory than the 3060.
In addition, there has been news that the new RTX 4070 or 4060Ti will use the AD104 GPU. Although the current RTX 30 series with sufficient performance has a certain price reduction, the “Ti” model and the “non-Ti” model of the 4060 are far too different.
According to Kopite7kimi, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU plans to use the AD107-400-A1 GPU, which is the complete AD107 Ada chip, which is basically the same configuration as the mobile graphics card.
The chip has 3072 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 video memory, running at 18Gbps on a 128bit bus interface, which can finally provide 288 GB / s of bandwidth, while the reference TDP is only 115W, and may also have 24 MB cache (L2).
If this RTX 4060 is predicted according to the previous 60-level graphics card pricing strategy, it should be around $300-400, but after the launch of the RTX 40 series graphics card this year, the price is really hard to say, but the performance should be better than the existing RTX 3060 cards are around 30-50% higher.
The RTX 4060 graphics card in the current laptop is 25% faster than the RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card, which shows that a large cache does help improve game performance at 1080p resolution.
It’s worth mentioning that laptops with RTX 4060 mobile graphics cards are about to hit the market in droves, so for now, there’s nothing stopping NVIDIA from releasing a desktop version of the graphics card, other than the stock of the current generation RTX 30-series.
Of course, this card is expected to arrive around mid-2023 after the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti, and that all means a lower end RTX 4050 with a worse GPU than the full AD107 is expected to follow Please look forward to more detailed information.
