NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti to Feature Shorter PCB, 220 Watt TDP, and 16-Pin 12VHPWR Power Connector
While NVIDIA has launched high-end GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs from its Ada Lovelace family, middle and lower-end products are brewing to satisfy the entire consumer market. Today, according to the kopite7kimi, a well-known leaker, we have potential information about the configuration of the upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. Featuring 4352 FP32 CUDA cores, the GPU is powered by an AD106-350-A1 die. On the die, there is 32 MB of L2 cache. To pair, it has 8 GB of GDDR6 18 Gbps memory, which should be enough to power games at 1440p resolution, which this card is aiming for.
The design of the cards reference PG190 PCB is supposedly very short, making it ideal for ITX-sized designs we could see from NVIDIA's AIB partners. Interestingly, with a TDP of 220 Watts, the reference card is powered by the infamous 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, capable of supplying 600 Watts of power. This choice of connector is unclear; however, it could be NVIDIA's push to standardize its usage across all products in the Ada Lovelace family stack. While the card should not need the full potential of the connector, it signals that the company could only be using this type of connector for all of its future designs.

$500 MSRP and $600 actual AIB price
These specs claim 128bit bus with 288 GB/s BW.
Seems Nvidia is shifting the whole product stack down, which is bad for price they are asking now.
Pretty sure you're going to need to get a Mortgage on any gpu for the nVidia 4xxx and Amd 7xxx generation >.<
Joking apart: If you want a new standard to be widely used you have to put it everywhere. From an economic point of view it does not make any sense to have multiple plugs/connectors and as it seems the molten plugs were caused by people having to much money an not enough DIY skills.
RTX 3060 Ti - 4864 shaders, 8 GB, 200 watts
RTX 4060 Ti - 4352 shaders, 8 GB, 220 watts
So, 4060 Ti will be slower and yet more power hungry? :kookoo:
RTX 3090 Ti - 10752 shaders at 1860 MHz
RTX 4090 - 16384 (52% more) shaders at 2520 MHz (35% higher)
Net performance increase: 45%.
So, RTX 4090 has 52% more shaders at 35% higher clocks and yet manages to return only 45% higher performance.
I plan on keeping it 5 years or more so i want atleast 12GB. That means a 4070 Ti, or 4070 if that has 12GB as well.
Apart from that my Ryzen 5000 experience was a giant disaster so i'll never want anything AMD again.
