GeForce RTX 4060 video cards from MSI show up on Newegg from $299

[Shawn Knight]

Early bird: Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4060 is officially scheduled to go on sale on June 29 but listings are already cropping up at select online retailers. Newegg has the MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Black OC priced at Nvidia's MSRP of $299.99. This card boasts 3,072 CUDA cores and a boost clock of 2,490 MHz – or 30 MHz faster than Nvidia's reference design.

For $30 more, you can choose between either the MSI RTX 4060 Gaming or Gaming X model. Both feature dual cooling fans and measure 247 mm in length versus 199 mm of the Black OC (9.72 inches versus 7.83 inches). The standard Gaming variant utilizes the reference boost clock of 2,460 MHz while the Gaming X card cranks the clock to 2,595 MHz. Effective memory clock is 17,000 MHz on all cards.

The standard RTX 4060 is one of three cards in Nvidia's 4060 lineup – the other two are the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and the RTX 4060 16 GB. TechSpot's Steven Walton recently took a look at the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (8 GB model) and came away with a frown. With an MSRP of $399 and only 8 GB of memory, the card proved to be a poor value that was woefully inadequate in testing.

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB cards are readily available across a range of price points if you're so inclined. Ti models with 16 GB of memory are set to launch sometime in July for an extra $100.

Nvidia earlier this month shared some in-house benchmark results from its RTX 4060. As always, these should be taken with a grain of salt as they no doubt represent the best case scenario for the product being tested. Real-world results will vary depending on several factors including other hardware you pair the card with and your target resolution / graphics settings.

Also be sure to keep your eyes peeled for RTX 4060 reviews which should start hitting the web in the coming days.

This 4060 Nvidia official price is too cheap to be true. For sure it is "only" $299.99?

 

[Vulcanproject]

More e-waste

This is a $200 card, tops

For a card that'll be maybe 10-15% faster than the 3060 12GB, priced similarly to what the 3060 12GB are selling for now, plus having less VRAM....? Yean, no thanks.

 

[Achaios]

DOA.

If they'd price this thing at $199.99, they'd have a real mainstream budget king.

If Nvidia was the only gpu company left, they could sell it for 500 with 6gb ram.

Crypto is dead, these GPU prices will sink lower. Renaming the 50 series to 60 and charging more won't work in a real market. We are tech enthusiasts, the broad market diy pc builds are still extremely niche. dGPUs need to compete with consoles and these new GPUs really aren't.

The problem with your prediction is that nVidia would rather reduce supply than lower prices. They're already doing this for the high end cards by lower their chip orders from TSMC. A huge chunk of their revenue now comes from all the AI craze that's replacing the crypto craze, so they have no incentive to reduce prices. In fact, their aim is to make overpriced video cards the new norm even if it means selling a lot less of them. They're willing to accept the short term pain of selling less cards for their long term goal of normalizing prices at a much higher level.

That`s what they intend, but the reality will sink in. I haven`t seen cards flying off the shelf in this AI craze you compare with mining. In fact, they have been forced to lower prices. And that`s because for AI they need specialized cards, the latest of which can`t even play Tetris, or maybe that`s all it can play, whereas gaming cards are not as efficient and now Billie and his momma have lost all hope of getting rich easy. It`s true AI gave them a big boost, but they need revenue from both. They`ll either wake up to the new reality or get steamrolled.

It really should be a 4050 since it's only got a 128-bit bus and PCIe x8 interface.
