The Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is set launch on July 18, to little enthusiasm
Nvidia is set to release the $499 RTX 4060 Ti 16GB on July 18. This GPU addresses one of the two major criticisms of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, namely its lack of VRAM, but does nothing to address widespread criticism of its price. In fact it does the opposite, making the already expensive $399 RTX 4060 Ti 8GB look like a bargain in comparison.

But that's not the only interesting RTX 4060 Ti news. According to Andreas Schilling of Hardwareluxx, AIB partners are less than enthusiastic about the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. They know the card is poor value for money. I spoke to an AIB representative at Computex who was also very much ambivalent towards the 16GB card.
Nvidia is reportedly not releasing a Founders Edition RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. That leaves more of the
