Four mid-range graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD set to land in the coming weeks

[midian182]

Rumor mill: Those longing for a latest-generation graphics card but don't want to sell a kidney could have four new options in the next few weeks: two versions of the RTX 4060 Ti with different memory specs, the Nvidia RTX 4060, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600.

Following recent claims from Igor's Lab that Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti and AMD's Radeon RX 7600 would arrive in late May/early April, VideoCardz's sources have given a specific date for these cards.

According to the latest claim, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB will be announced in the middle of this month ahead of its launch on May 24.

The RTX 4060 Ti is believed to be based on the AD106-350-A1 and come with 4,352 CUDA Cores, 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM at 18Gbps, 32 MB of L2 cache, and a rated TGP of 160W. It might also feature a 128-bit memory bus for 288GB/s bandwidth. Expect performance to exceed the RTX 3070 Ti. Price-wise, some say Nvidia has listened to the Lovelace criticism and will give the card a $399 MSRP, the same price as the previous-gen version.

Just one day after the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB arrives (May 25), AMD will reportedly launch the Radeon RX 7600. The Navi 33-based card could feature 2,048 cores, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and a 128-bit bus. It's expected to come in under $350.

An interesting rumor about the RX 7600 from Igor Wallossek is that the only board partners who will show it off at Computex are those who only sell Radeon cards, such as Sapphire. Companies that make both AMD and Nvidia products are reportedly holding off production of the new RDNA 3 entry until they determine if it will be worth it.

Nvidia is also rumored to be announcing a 16GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti alongside the 8GB version in a couple of weeks. It's said to launch sometime during the second half of July.

I will try to remain neutral about any leaks in the future. ðÂÂÂðÂÂÂðÂÂÂ

Finally, there's the non-Ti version of the RTX 4060, which is said to launch in the first half of July. Leaker kopite7kimi previously said the card packs 8GB of GDDR6 (18Gbps) and has the same AD107 GPU, CUDA core count, Tensor core count, ray tracing core count, and TDP (115W) as the laptop version of the RTX 4060. Concerningly, those specs are lower than the RTX 3060.

Pricing for all of these cards is going to be crucial. Going by the specs compared to the previous generation they won't have huge performance gains.

AMD has been dropping the prices for the 6000 series pretty hard and the cards that have performance similar to these have more VRAM. So the selling point for these new cards will have to be the price, power usage and DLSS3/AV1 encoding.

According to "Moore's law is dead"on YouTube the AMD 7000 cards released after the initial two (the 7900XT and XTX) might have had their design slightly revised to fix whatever was holding those two back in performance. The fixed version of those two might end up being the 7950 XT and XTX.

NVIDIA 's offer already sounds like a whole lot of nothing and I don't expect much there I'm curious to see how AMD will perform in this bracket and what the pricing will be. I've seen rumours of a $250 MSRP which would be pretty decent, especially if the 'fixed' silicone manages to up the performance a bit.

Lol $250 a x60 series card from Nvidia? Never again.

Ah no, I could've worded that better. That was AMDs supposed to MSRP according to some rumors.
I haven't seen anything about NVIDIA but I'd expect at least $350. Prolly $399

Priced sensibly, that rumoured 16Gb 4060Ti could become the mainstream value champion for buyers wanting a card to last a few years at 1080p or using DLSS. It would certainly give AMD something to think about. Yay for competition!

Any news on 7800xt/7700xt? thats what im looking forward to since I want bascicaly 6950xt performance with 20gb vram and same pricepoint.

You don't need 16GB for 1080p.

The sarcasm is strong in this one

The memory bus isn't going to be any wider @ 16GB

No sarcasm intended. With reports of TLoU swallowing a reported 9+Gb of VRAM at 1080p right now, people are quite reasonably deciding that they're going to need as much memory as possible on a card they buy now if they want it to still be up to the job three years from now even if they have to stoop to the shocking levels of only getting 60fps out of it (OK, there's your sarcasm )

That might not be the case for v1.05 (that patch was only released a day or two ago) -- in the same area that I previously tested v1.04 averaging 9.1 GB (1080p, Ultra settings), I've just checked it and got averages of 8.2 GB. Note that this was done with a 12 GB graphics card; if the devs have done their work right this time, then 8 GB cards should asset stream just under that VRAM amount.

The issue is that these cards specs were set before all the games breaking 8 GB cards launched. Otherwise, we'd likely see 10-12 GB cards at this price point (and 16 GB starting lower in the stack).

4060 series don't need 16 GB but that's the only upgrade option with the current card design.
