NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Possibly Maxes Out AD107, NVIDIA's Smallest Ada Silicon
NVIDIA's mid-range, high-volume graphics card based on the GeForce "Ada" graphics architecture, the GeForce RTX 4060, a 60-class product, could feature specs that make it possible for NVIDIA to carve it out either with a maxed out 5 nm AD107 silicon, or a heavily cut-down AD106. Kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks, says that the RTX 4060 has specs which align with the full-spec AD107, with 3,072 CUDA cores across 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, an unknown ROP count, and 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory. The memory bus width is hard to predict with this generation. The GPU's on-die L2 cache is 24 MB in size. The card has a typical graphics power (TGP) of 115 W, making it possible to build cards with just one 6-pin PCIe power connector.

1% low is 45 FPS! And if you turn on RT, it's slide show - 25 FPS, 17 FPS 1% lows!
I know, DLSS, frame doubling to the rescue... But still, ouch.
Not quite sure what Adas codename is, but that can't be it because they used it. Yes, nothing runs Hogwarts Legacy well. Games performance sucks on PC, period.
Oh wait I do. Too bad it still performs like a 4070ti lol.
And surely graphics cards are bought just to play games (right now, when cryptomining is far from being profitable), and a badly coded one is right now a game that's flying off the shelves like we haven't seen since... Previous badly coded game, Cyberpunk 2077. :p
What if AMD migrates to it in the future? You're gonna buy Intel i guess.
There is no reason whatsoever to push a 115W card on anything other than pci 6 pin right now.
These transitions are entirely pointless for me. They only cost me money and add hassle. Why pay for it? I have a perfectly capable quality PSU.
Other than that, I work in IT, learning is a daily exercise. As is filtering what's required and what's not. I'm pretty good at it too.
I mean really... upgrading now, for what? Some RT effects that kill performance, diving deep into Nvidia's proprietary hellhole at a staggering premium, having to look at a spiderweb adapter in my case, and overall a whole bunch of meagre triple A nonsense titles that fill exactly no niche whatsoever for me, its all more of the same. And whatever is not more of the same and/or truly a decent + finished game, runs damn fine still on a 2016 card - which is obvious because the majority of the market is still on that level of performance and devs cater to it. At the same time I'm seeing new titles with terrible performance because of lacking optimization coincide with latest GPU release, I've been here before, and the story's gotten old for me. I'm done chasing that so called cutting edge commercial clusterfuck :) It has nothing on offer except frustration, engineered to create new demand so you can keep buying.
Yet I still game 3-5 hours per day.
Well, unless NVIDIA price is accordingly, but we all know NVIDIA is NVIDIA.
