NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Graphics Card Reportedly Launches By Late May
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB graphics card is expected to hit retail shelves by the end of May which is around the same time as Computex 2023.

In a new NDA brief, NVIDIA has passed on its embargo schedule to board partners which shows various activity plans with the most important ones being the reviewer sampling and announce dates for the new cards. As per the document leaked by Videocardz, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is likely to hit retail shelves by the of May which is what we had reported months ago.

The documents only confirm the launch schedule for the Ti variant with the standard NVIDIA RTX 4060 being listed as "TBD" which means that it may launch in May or slip by a month to June. That is a possibility being considered due to the lower demand for graphics cards at the moment.
NVIDIA is also taking time to come up with its pricing strategy but they don't seem to be in a hurry since AMD has yet to announce or launch its own mainstream cards. Rumors suggest that we can get the budget-tier Radeon RX 7600 series at Computex but that remains to be seen. We do know that the two upcoming SKUs for the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti variant graphics cards will be:
GeForce RTX 4060 (SKU 371)
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (SKU 361)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Specifications "Rumored":
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to utilize the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a cut-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip, and based on previous rumors, it should pack 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps across a 128-bit bus interface, providing the card with 288 GB/s of bandwidth. There's also 32 MB of L2 cache on board the GPU which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The graphics card is expected to utilize the PG190 SKU 361 PCB. Leaked PCB shots revealed that while the reference Founders Edition makes use of the standard 16-Pin 12VHPWR connector, the custom models will be free to use either standard 8-pin connectors or the newer 16-pin plugs. We have been told that it is much cheaper to just go with 8-pin connectors so that should be the target as AIBs want to maximize the production value of their designs. As for the TDP, the card will end up between 150-160W which is around 25% lower than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Specifications "Rumored":
For the GeForce RTX 4060, NVIDIA is expected to utilize the AD107-400-A1 GPU, the fully enabled AD107 Ada die. Do note that the same configuration is used by the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The chip is expected to feature 3072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps memory speeds across a 128-bit bus interface. That gives the card 288 GB/s bandwidth and all of that will fall within a 110W - 115W reference TDP. The GPU is also said to feature 24 MB of cache (L2).
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 should end up with a 35% lower TGP than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 12 GB. While previous rumors pointed out the card using a PG190 PCB, our info suggests it would use the PG173 SKU 371 PCB design. It is likely that the PG190 variant is used by the FE and the PG173 is used by the reference AIC boards. Just like the RTX 4060 Ti, the Non-Ti variant will mostly rely on the standard 8-pin connectors and we will get some nice Mini-ITX variants of the card too, making for some truly efficient gaming PCs.
Pricing is still unknown to the press, influencers, and even NVIDIA's board partners. However, since the two cards require less power to operate than the remaining RTX 40 series GPUs, it will probably be less expensive compared to the launches of the other line models.
