NVIDIA today launched the 16 GB version of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti "Ada" graphics card to no fanfare. Essentially a memory variant of the RTX 4060 Ti with no other changes in the specs sheet, the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB commands a $100 premium (25%) over the regular RTX 4060 Ti for double the memory size, albeit at the same 128-bit memory bus width, and the same 18 Gbps memory speed. The idea behind the card is that the larger memory should help in scenarios where the 8 GB of memory is found to limit performance. It would've been fun to test this theory if only we had cards to review—we didn't.NVIDIA's own presentation lists just two games that show gains, and that's probably the best-case.

If you've seen our coverage of the original RTX 4060 Ti or RTX 4060, you'll notice that we've tested 8 to 10 of each on launch day, covering almost every AIC partner. With the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, we were ready to repeat this feat, and cleared our calendars for the launch, except nothing came through. We talked to all the partners, and friends in the industry. We learned that neither NVIDIA nor the partners are sampling the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. We did try to arrange samples through back-channels, which turned out to be a bust, too, nobody wanted to touch these cards. To prevent those reviewers who could somehow score cards in partnership with retailers, NVIDIA ensured there was no driver available until earlier today. Without drivers, there's no way for anyone to test the card, and it shows—we've scoured the web, and nobody has a review. There should be cards available in retail already, but only listings with "out of stock", "coming soon" have appeared so far. We do intend to buy one off the shelf and test it for you with the first available driver. As of this writing, we cannot find any of these cards in the online retail.Update 15:16 UTC: We've reached out to several shops here in Germany, they all confirmed that "the embargo expired today at 3 pm", but also mentioned that "the on-shelf availability date is unknown".

Update Jul 19th: First merchants in Germany have received a handful of cards, there's still no stock in UK or USA.

Update Jul 24th: We've bought a RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB in retails and posted our full in-depth review here.

USA retailer, Newegg, is currently running a sale on a couple of custom NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB graphics cards. The cheapest option is an MSI VENTUS 2X BLACK 8G OC model, available for an an-all-time low price of $334 (representing a nice 16% discount)—thanks to a promo code ("ZIPTECH") shaving off a further $45.60 from the sale price of $379.99. NVIDIA set an MSRP of $399.99 upon the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti's launch back in late May, generating plenty of ambivalence within the PC hardware enthusiast community. That pattern will likely repeat with next week's premiere of RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB variants—its recommended retail price is set at $499, with tricked out custom cards predicted to go beyond $550.

Potential buyers of the bog standard 8 GB GPU in the States will be somewhat happy to discover that Newegg is not limiting the sale and discounts to a single model. MSI's slightly fancier (triple fan design) VENTUS 3X 8G OC card is going for $351.99, and the GIGABYTE RTX 4060 Ti EAGLE plus ASUS RTX 4060 Ti DUAL OC are available at the same price. These deals look quite good when placed next to discounted GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB custom cards—these are getting blown out for $329 - 339.

Leaked photos of a cinder block-sized NVIDIA flagship graphics card cooler appeared online over a week ago, with speculation pointing to it originating from an extremely powerful RTX-40 series GPU—perhaps a theoretical GeForce RTX 4090 Ti or something codenamed TITAN ADA. The pictured prototype outsizes several existing reference designs—its substantial bulk could be enough to tame the fully unlocked potential of Team Green's already large AD102.

Last week's photos have been traced back to the source—as reported by Wccftech, it seems that a seller on the Chinese Taobao Goofish platform is attempting to flog the unit for roughly $122,750 (888,888 RMB). The seller/site member "Hayaka" is apparently open to accepting offers from the highest bidder, but the prospective buyer will not be getting their hands on any working hardware—the listing is for the cooler alone. No GPU or PCB is included according to the provided information, so the winner will be procuring a very expensive (albeit highly unique) mantelpiece.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today launched the GeForce RTX 4060 series graphics cards powered by NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, including DLSS 3 neural rendering and third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates.

According to the NVIDIA roadmap that was spotted in the recently published MLCommons training results, the Ada Lovelace successor is set to come in 2025. The roadmap also reveals the schedule for Hopper Next and Grace Next GPUs, as well as the BlueField-4 DPU.

While the roadmap does not provide a lot of details, it does give us a general idea of when to expect NVIDIA's next GeForce architecture. Since NVIDIA usually launches a new GeForce architecture every two years or so, the latest schedule might sound like a small delay, at least if it plans to launch the Ada Lovelace Next in early 2025 and not later. NVIDIA Pascal was launched in May 2016, Turing in September 2018, Ampere in May 2020, and Ada Lovelace in October 2022.

ZOTAC Technology Limited, a leading global manufacturer of innovation, announces additional members to its next-generation graphics card line-up, built on the powerful NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.

Back in January, we got our first look at the cinder block-like 4-slot cooling solution of NVIDIA's upcoming flagship graphics card (called either the RTX 4090 Ti, or the TITAN (Ada). "ExperteVallah" on Twitter scored additional pictures of the cooler. Its design sees the heat dissipation surface pushed to the entire thickness of the cooler, and ventilated the entire length.

The card's PCB isn't conventional—not perpendicular to the plane of the motherboard like any other add-in card—but is rather along the plane of the motherboard, with additional breakaway daughter cards interfacing with the sole 12VHPWR power connector, and the PCIe slot. This slender, ruler-shaped PCB spans the entire length of the card, without coming in the way of its heat dissipation surfaces. The length is used for the large AD102 ASIC that's probably maxed out (with all its 144 SM enabled), twelve GDDR6X (possibly faster 23 Gbps), and a mammoth VRM that nearly maxes out the 600 W continuous power delivery design limit of the 12VHPWR.

GIGABYTE released liquid-cooled graphics cards based on the performance-segment GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. The company is catering to both the DIY liquid cooling and turnkey liquid cooling market segments with the RTX 4070 Ti AORUS Xtreme WaterForce series. The RTX 4070 Ti AORUS Xtreme WB comes with a factory-fitted full-coverage water block that you connect to your own liquid-cooling loop; while the RTX 4070 Ti AORUS Xtreme lugs an AIO liquid cooling solution.

The AORUS Xtreme WaterForce WB uses a nickel-plated copper full-coverage water block that's been tailored for the PCB layout underneath, with an acrylic top, and some vinyl decals. The acrylic top is studded with addressable RGB LEDs. The AORUS Xtreme WaterForce (AIO based) card, on the other hand, uses an AIO cooling solution with a design resembling that of the company's RTX 3080 AORUS Xtreme WaterForce. This card uses a purely-liquid cooling solution (unlike some other brands with an air+liquid hybrid design). The pump-block in the card is responsible not just for the GPU, but also the memory and VRM (over secondary base-plates). A 240 mm x 120 mm radiator is used, which should be just about enough for a 300 W TGP graphics card. GIGABYTE could formally launch these two cards very soon, as the press images are already out.

NVIDIA could be advancing the launch of its GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti) graphics card from its July 2023 launch the company originally announced. Leaked documents shared by MEGAsizeGPU say that NVIDIA could make the RTX 4060 available on June 29, which means reviews of the card could go live on June 28 for the MSRP cards, and June 29 for the premium ones priced above MSRP. It was earlier expected to launch alongside the 16 GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti, in July.

The RTX 4060 is a significantly different product from the RTX 4060 Ti the company launched in May, it is based on the smaller AD107 silicon. The card is expected to feature 3,072 CUDA cores, 24 RT cores, 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, compared to the 4,352 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, 136 Tensor cores, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, of the RTX 4060 Ti. The memory configuration is similar, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus, however, the memory speed is slightly lower, at 17 Gbps vs. 18 Gbps of the Ti. The RTX 4060 has a TGP of just 115 W. The company hasn't finalized its price, yet.Update Jun 14th: NVIDIA confirmed the launch date on Twitter:

NVIDIAThe GeForce RTX 4060 will now be available to order starting June 29, at 6AM Pacific.

EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is unveiling the EK-Pro GPU WB RTX 6000 Ada - Nickel + Inox. This enterprise-grade full-cover water block is designed specifically for the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace Architecture.

The water block features a meticulously CNC-machined nickel-plated copper base and a laser-cut stainless-steel top for a robust liquid cooling solution. It encompasses the entire GPU, VRAM, and VRM components, precisely channeling the cooling liquid over these critical areas to efficiently dissipate heat. The EK-Pro GPU WB RTX 6000 Ada - Nickel + Inox is engineered to deliver superior cooling efficiency, unlocking the full potential of the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada graphics card.

According to a new research report from the analyst firm Jon Peddie Research, unit shipments in the add-in board (AIB) market decreased in Q1 2023 by -12.6% and decreased by -38.2% year to year. Intel increased its add-in board market share by 2% during the first quarter.

The percentage of AIBs in desktop PCs is referred to as the attach rate. The attach rate grew from last quarter by 8% but was down -21% year to year. Approximately 6.3 million add-in boards shipped in Q1 2023. The market shares for the desktop discrete GPU suppliers shifted in the quarter, as AMD's market share remained flat from last quarter. Intel, which entered the AIB market in Q3'22 with the Arc A770 and A750, gained 2% in market share, while Nvidia retains its dominant position in the add-in board space with an 84% market share.

Increasing its HPL score from 1.02 Eflop/s in November 2022 to an impressive 1.194 Eflop/s on this list, Frontier was able to improve upon its score after a stagnation between June 2022 and November 2022. Considering exascale was only a goal to aspire to just a few years ago, a roughly 17% increase here is an enormous success. Additionally, Frontier earned a score of 9.95 Eflop/s on the HLP-MxP benchmark, which measures performance for mixed-precision calculation. This is also an increase over the 7.94 EFlop/s that the system achieved on the previous list and nearly 10 times more powerful than the machine's HPL score. Frontier is based on the HPE Cray EX235a architecture and utilizes AMD EPYC 64C 2 GHz processors. It also has 8,699,904 cores and an incredible energy efficiency rating of 52.59 Gflops/watt. It also relies on gigabit ethernet for data transfer.

The "AD107" is expected to be the smallest client GPU based on the NVIDIA "Ada Lovelace" graphics architecture. The upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti) is rumored to be maxing this silicon out (enabling all available shaders). MEGAsizeGPU scored one of the first pictures of the "AD107" in the flesh, revealing a small fiberglass substrate, and a visibly smaller die than the "AD106" powering the RTX 4060 Ti.

The "AD107" silicon is expected to feature 3,072 CUDA cores across 24 SM (streaming multiprocessors). The GPU features a 128-bit wide memory interface much like the "AD106," and NVIDIA is expected to use conventional 17 Gbps GDDR6 memory, which works out to 272 GB/s memory bandwidth. 8 GB is the standard memory size for the RTX 4060. With "Ada," NVIDIA has rebalanced the memory sub-system with greater reliance on on-die caches, and the "AD107" features a 24 MB L2 cache. Much like the "AD106," the smaller "AD107" features a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 host interface. The ace up its sleeve has to be power, with even the maxed out RTX 4060 only being rated for 119 W of TGP.

The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4060, TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4060, ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 and ASUS Dual White GeForce RTX 4060 are also coming at a later date. ASUS will share all the details on these graphics cards soon, so gamers will not have to wait long to learn more about them—or make one their own. These GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060-powered GPUs are designed to deliver incredible performance for mainstream gamers and creators at 1080p resolution at 100 frames per second with ray tracing and DLSS 3. The GeForce RTX 4060 product family delivers all the advancements of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture—including DLSS 3 neural rendering, third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates, and an eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) with AV1 encoding.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today launches NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB series graphics cards powered by NVIDIA ADA Lovelace architecture. GIGABYTE offers a wide range of graphics cards, including the AORUS and GIGABYTE series, to cater to the diverse needs of gamers. These cards are designed to meet the demands of gamers seeking the ultimate in performance and stunning aesthetics, as well as those who prioritize fundamental performance and durability. These graphics cards will enhance the gaming experience for a vast number of gamers.

The GeForce RTX 4060 family is designed to deliver incredible performance for mainstream gamers and creators at 1080p resolution at 100 frames per second with Ray Tracing and DLSS 3. The GeForce RTX 4060 product family delivers all the advancements of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture—including DLSS 3 neural rendering, third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates, and an eighth generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) with AV1 encoding.

NVIDIA today announced the GeForce RTX 4060 family of GPUs, with two graphics cards that deliver all the advancements of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture—including DLSS 3 neural rendering and third-generation ray tracing technologies at high frame rates—starting at just $299. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 deliver unparalleled performance at fantastic value—bringing for the first time to the company's popular 60-class twice the horsepower of the latest gaming consoles, including ray tracing for premium image quality on top games.

"The RTX 4060 family delivers PC gamers both great value and great performance at 1080p, whether they're building a gaming battle box or an AI-assisted creation station," said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. "These GPUs deliver an incredible upgrade, starting at just $299, putting Ada Lovelace and DLSS 3 in the hands of millions more worldwide."

VideoCardz struck the mother lode with information on the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 "Ada" graphics cards, by scoring key slides from the NVIDIA press-deck. But first, the prices: When it goes on sale later this month, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be priced at USD $399. Its 16 GB sibling goes on sale in July, priced at $499. The company didn't finalize the pricing of the RTX 4060, yet. Without disclosing the CUDA core count (rumored to be 4,352), NVIDIA revealed that the RTX 4060 Ti has a shader compute throughput of 22 TFLOP/s, which is 37.5% higher than that of the RTX 3060 Ti.

The specs also confirm that the RTX 4060 Ti has a significantly narrower memory bus, at 128-bit, compared to the 256-bit of the RTX 3060 Ti, and 192-bit of the RTX 4060. With "Ada," NVIDIA overhauled the memory sub-system of the GPU, with greater on-die cache reliance, which allows the company to use narrower memory interfaces and cut costs. Both memory variants of the RTX 4060 Ti come with a TGP of 160 W. which means even the faster custom-design boards should be able to make do with a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. The GeForce RTX 4060 is designed with 15% higher shader throughput than the previous-generation RTX 3060, which is 6% shy of the RTX 3060 Ti. The most striking aspect of this card is its TGP of just 115 W, which should make it technically possible to have cards with even single 6-pin PCIe power connectors.

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation graphics card was released to the public in late April, but very few reviews and benchmarks have emerged since then. Jisaku Hibi, a Japanese hardware site, has published an in-depth evaluation that focuses mostly on gaming performance. The RTX 4000 Ada SFF has been designed as a compact workstation graphics card, but its usage of an AD104 die makes it a sibling of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti gaming-oriented cards. Several PC hardware sites have posited that the 70 W RTX 4000 Ada SFF would "offer GeForce RTX 3070-like performance," but Jisaku Hibi's investigation points to the RTX 3060 Ti being the closest equivalent card (in terms of benchmark results).

According to the TPU GPU database: "NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation to reach the product's target shader count. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. Also included are 192 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 48 ray tracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 20 GB GDDR6 memory with the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, which are connected using a 160-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1290 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1565 MHz, memory is running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective)." The SKU's 70 W TGP and limited memory interface are seen as the card's main weak points, resulting in average clock speeds and a maximum memory bandwidth of only 280 GB/s.

NVIDIA is launching 8 GB and 16 GB variants of its upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card, with the 8 GB model debuting later this month, and the 16 GB model slated for July, as we learned in an older article. We are learning what else sets the two apart. Both are based on the 5 nm "AD106" silicon, by enabling 34 out of 36 SM physically present on the silicon, which works out to 4,352 out of 4,608 CUDA cores present. While the 8 GB model has the ASIC code "AD106-350," the 16 GB model gets the ASIC code "AD106-351."

The 16 GB model of the RTX 4060 Ti also has a slightly higher TDP, rated at 165 W, compared to 160 W of the 8 GB model. This is the TDP of the silicon, and not TGP (typical graphics power,) which takes into account power drawn by the entire board. The 16 GB model is sure to have a higher TGP on account of its higher-density memory. NVIDIA is likely to use four 32 Gbit (4 GB) GDDR6 memory chips to achieve 16 GB (as opposed to eight 16 Gbit ones with two chips piggybacked per 32-bit path).

Late last week ASUS posted a cryptic announcement, as well as giveaway product questions, on its Twitter page about an upcoming product launch event (scheduled for today - May 10). Hopeful commenters were guessing that a TUF-edition RTX 4070 was incoming, or that a very premature (and potentially surprising) RTX 4060 Ti reveal was due. ASUS has in fact shown off a few new GeForce RTX 4090 custom designs, including a pair of "OG" TUF offerings: "TUF Gaming graphics cards have always been known for their rugged styling, rock solid stability, and excellent gaming performance. The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC Edition feature three Axial-tech fans, with the center fan rotating in the opposite direction for less turbulence and fan noise. Dual ball bearing fans, military-grade capacitors, and other TUF components assembled via our Auto-Extreme manufacturing process guarantee reliability for years to come."

The two TUF OG cards look identical from the outside, but the OC edition adds some customized clock speed tunings: 2595 MHz (OC mode) / 2565 MHz (Default mode). The brand new OG models are slightly smaller than their older TUF siblings - 325.9 x 140.2 x 62.8 mm compared to 348.2 x 150 x 72.6 mm (respectively). ASUS thinks that this shrinkage in overall card dimensions will accommodate customers with tighter PC enclosure conditions: "What makes the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG truly stand out is its size. Its sleek 3.2 slot design allows for much better case compatibility than other RTX 4090 graphics cards. If you've been looking for a flagship GPU but couldn't find one that fits in your current build, the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG might be for you."

Hardware tipster kopite7kimi has learned from insider sources that a variant of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 graphic card could be lined up with a different GPU - the AD103 instead of the currently utilized AD104-derived AD104-250-A1. The Ada Lovelace-based architecture is a staple across the RTX 40-series of graphics cards, but a fully unlocked AD103 is not yet attached to any product on the market - it will be a strange move for NVIDIA to refresh or expand the mid-range RTX 4070 lineup with a much larger GPU, albeit in a reduced form. A cut down variant of the AD103 is currently housed within NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card - its AD103-300-A1 GPU has 9728 CUDA Cores and Team Green's engineers have chosen to disable 5% of the full article's capabilities.

The hardware boffins will need to do a lot of pruning if the larger GPU ends up on the rumored RTX 4070 sort-of upgrade - the SKU's 5,888 CUDA core count spec would require a 42% reduction in GPU potency. It is somewhat curious that the RTX 4070 Ti has not been mentioned by the tipster - you would think that the more powerful card (than the standard 4070) would be the logical and immediate candidate for this type of treatment. In theory NVIDIA could be re-purposing dies that do not meet RTX 4080-level standards, thus salvaging rejected material and repurposing it for step down card models.

NVIDIA is expected to roll out its RTX 4060 Ti GPU series later this month but the American hardware giant has not issued any official material about these cards - leaks have so far become the only sources of specification and configuration information. A launch price of $450 is mooted, and the low-to-midrange RTX 4060 Ti is likely to sport NVIDIA's AD106 GPU (based on its Ada Lovelace graphics architecture). Previous leaks have indicated that this variant will be offered in an 8 GB VRAM configuration with a 128-bit memory interface, although TPU hardware archivist (T4C Fantasy) reckons that NVIDIA's board partners can opt for larger pools of video memory.

A retailer in Russia has released (possibly in error) catalog listings for four upcoming Palit branded GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card models. The board partner seems to be offering two sets of its Dual and StormX designs - in normal and overclocked variations - but all of these models share the bog standard VRAM allocation of 8 GB, paired with the usual 128-bit memory interface. Palit's Dual cooler design is currently available on its RTX 4070-based models, but the StormX cooling solution design has not been applied to any 40 series cards so far - the upcoming RTX 4060 Ti cards will debut a (likely) smaller StormX shroud, heatsink and fan combination.

Colorful started selling its top custom-design GeForce RTX 4070 "Ada" graphics card, the RTX 4070 Neptune OC-V. This card was announced along with Colorful's other custom-design RTX 4070 cards, but the company at the time didn't share availability details for the card. We now know that it is priced at a whopping $829.99, or a 38% premium over the $600 NVIDIA MSRP for the RTX 4070. This price puts it in the territory of custom-design GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, as well as Radeon RX 7900 XT.

What do you get for the premium? For starters, its most striking feature is its all-in-one, closed-loop liquid cooling solution. At the card's end, the cooler consists of a pump-block, with a copper base-plate pulling in heat from the memory and VRM, and transferring it onto the main block. This end of the cooler is piped to a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. From the looks of it, DeepCool is the OEM of this cooler. The PCB features a 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector, a 14+3 phase VRM, and Colorful dialed up power limits to 230 W (from 200 W). Out of the box, the card has a boost frequency of 2640 MHz, compared to 2475 MHz reference. But even so, why? Colorful prides itself in making some of the most over-the-top madcap custom-design graphics cards, because someone has to!
