One thing to stay up for: Because the anticipated launch dates of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and Radeon RX 7600 draw nearer, ushering in a brand new technology of mainstream gaming GPUs, extra leaks appear to verify earlier rumors about Nvidia’s chip. The upcoming GPU, based mostly on the AD106 core, will controversially characteristic 8GB of VRAM.
Dependable leaker MEGAsizeGPU has posted a die shot of the upcoming desktop variant of the RTX 4060 Ti, confirming it’s based mostly on the AD-106-350 GPU. Retail listings of MSI pre-built methods that includes the cardboard additionally verify it consists of 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, which may very well be a priority given the calls for of current high-profile PC recreation releases.
Earlier leaks recommended that, along with these specs, the 4060 Ti will characteristic 4,352 CUDA cores, 18 Gbps VRAM velocity, 32 MB of L2 cache, a 128-bit reminiscence bus for 288 GB/s bandwidth, and a 160W TGP. Efficiency could also be much like the RTX 3070 Ti if its 8GB of VRAM do not maintain it again.
Nvidia’s alternative of reminiscence for the cardboard might show problematic, as some current high-end PC video games have consumed substantial quantities of VRAM. Titles akin to Hogwarts Legacy, the Useless Area Remake, and The Final of Us Half 1 encountered efficiency points and different issues on GPUs with lower than 12GB of VRAM.
The lately launched Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is likely to be the worst case but (of poor optimization). The sport seems to eat a lot reminiscence that, in some conditions, even the mighty 24GB RTX 4090 struggles with it. CPU points are additionally in charge, and developer Respawn Leisure has promised to enhance the sport’s efficiency.
The discharge date for the RTX 4060 Ti stays unsure, however it could debut at Computex 2023 on the finish of Might alongside the Radeon RX 7800 XT, 7700 XT, and 7600.

Particulars in regards to the 4060 Ti’s youthful sibling, the desktop 4060, are additionally nonetheless underneath wraps. Rumors from February point out it should even have 8GB of VRAM and be based mostly on the identical GPU as its laptop computer counterpart. The specs recommend that the 4060 has much less reminiscence and fewer CUDA cores than its predecessor, the 12GB RTX 3060, though it should characteristic larger clocks and quicker VRAM.
