MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Custom GPUs Listed By Newegg Ahead of Launch, Starting At $299

wccftech.com:

MSI has listed the Gaming & Ventus 2X variants of the GeForce RTX 4060 GPU on Newegg ahead of launch on 29th June.

This is not the first time we have seen the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 listed on a retail platform. Previously, the RTX 4060 was listed by Amazon UK and German retailer, Galaxus. However, the listed prices were 10-12% above the $299 MSRP since the GPUs were an early listing.

The MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 will be available for $299 on launch at Newegg, suggesting that we won't see a price hike, at least during the initial days of launch. The RTX 4060 Gaming variants are listed at $329.99 and have no difference despite the fact that one of them comes with a factory overclock which may not offer that much of a performance increase and it's better to stick with the reference variants. One major benefit of the top Gaming X variant is that it comes with a memory overclock of 18 Gbps versus the standard 17 Gbps speeds.

This can prove to be slightly beneficial as the card is severely bandwidth starved and has to rely heavily on its L2 cache to offset the memory bandwidth difference.

The cards are listed below:

We previously reported that AMD Radeon RX 7600 is currently available at a discounted price of $249 on Amazon while the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 2X from MSI has also been discounted to $379 US which means that there will be a $50 US difference between the Ti and Non-Ti offerings. The RTX 4060 Ti will definitely be the better choice here due to its 20-25% additional performance boost.

The price drop from AMD was in response to the announcement of the GeForce RTX 4060 launch. On paper, the RX 7600 is slightly behind the RTX 4060 when it comes to RT performance; however, with the $249 tag, and given enough incentive
