Hey hey, we’re finally getting some real mid-rangers in the RTX 40 series, as Nvidia have announced the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 GPUs. These will finally bring Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture, complete with improved ray tracing performance and DLSS 3 support, beneath the £400 mark.
In fact, there will be two versions of the RTX 4060 Ti, with the 8GB VRAM edition getting a confirmed released date of May 24th. That’s ahead of a 16GB variant coming sometime in July. The RTX 4060 will launch in the same month as the latter, completing the replacement of the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3060 – still two of the previous generation’s best graphics cards.
I’ll be getting my hands on an 8GB RTX 4060 Ti next week for some reviewing funtimes. For now, here’s everything we know about the new GPUs, including the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060’s specs and what to expect from their gaming performance.
Let’s start with the money talk, since these GPUs are supplanting arguably the best-value cards of the RTX 30 series. And there’s good news in that regard, as the 8GB version of the RTX 4060 Ti breaks the 40 series’ streak of adding hefty premiums over their predecessors. The Founders Edition will cost £389 / $399, matching the US launch price of the RTX 3060 Ti and adding a relatively reserved £20 in the UK. Expect AIB graphics cards to cost more, in exchange for bonuses like factory overclocks and upgraded coolers, but as a starting price that doesn’t sound too shabby. The next-cheapest RTX 40 series card, the RTX 4070, is a mile up at £589 / $599.
UK pricing for the other upcoming models isn’t as forthcoming: the 16GB RTX 4060 Ti will cost $499 in the US, but us lot here on Brexit Island will have to wait to know what that is in quids.
