NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 Come with 8GB : Leaked MSI Prebuilt Listing

NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060, expected to make for a twin-launch in May 2023, will come with 8 GB as the standard memory size. This was confirmed in screenshots of a leaked listing of an MSI pre-built gaming desktop. The upcoming MSI MAG Infinite S3 comes with GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 GPU options, both of which have been mentioned in the listing as featuring 8 GB of graphics memory. The CPU options span between the Intel Core i5-13400F and the i7-13700F. 16 GB (2x 8 GB) main memory, and 1 TB SSD are the other standard equipment.

An 8 GB memory size confirms the 128-bit memory interface of the "AD106" silicon the RTX 4060 series is expected to be based on. 8 GB would actually be a downgrade compared to the current RTX 3060, which offers 12 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit memory bus. To be fair, the RTX 3060 Ti gives you just 8 GB of memory (albeit over a 256-bit wide memory bus). With the "Ada" graphics architecture powering the RTX 40-series, NVIDIA has significantly redesigned the memory sub-system of the GPU, with greater design emphasis on large on-die caches, so the GPU relies less on discrete memory bandwidth.

8GB in anything over 300EUR/USD is just insane.

Don't start war with nvidia boys. It is dangerous space to go in. DLSS will be the savior.

3050 class gpu at 3070 prices. Appalling specs for both models at any more than $300-320.

Seriously Nvidia? You released 3060 12GB cards and with all the new games coming out even 12GB is becoming obsolete! Now your relasing 4060 8GB Cards in May? Nvida stepping backwards while AMD is taking the lead with their 16GB Vram GPUs for the same price range. Really disappointed how Nvidia is rolling out with cards with just 8GB Vram on their new 4060 cards. I guess for the first time, I will be buying AMD with 6800XT 16GB at the same price range.

I do wait to see the 7600RX with 12-16GB ;)
At the same price to 4060, it will be the deal breaker and no RT prefo will save them this time.

These cards are for gaming at 1080P of course. Peeps should be fine as long as they don't play sh1tty games such as The Last of Us. With that said I was hoping they would be 10GB cards.

RX 7600 will have 8/16GB unless it has mixed density chips as it's rumored to have a 128-bit bus.

Funny that 3060 may be usable longer than 3060 Ti/3070/3070 Ti due to its 50% larger VRAM amount.

Customer : How much vram do we get on the 4060s?
Nvidia: Yes!

Texture resolution is independent of rendering resolution.

Remember the last time this happened with the 1060 3.5 GB and 8GB RX580, I wonder which card is more viable today? Don't forget AMD cards will have Infinity Cache as well. Enable Smart Access Memory and have the same thing on the CPU and laugh at people talking about how much AMD sucks. I expect both Companies though will have 8 GB as the base going forward for VRAM. We have already seen the future in the Enterprise space. I agree fully though that unless Nvidia purposefully gimps that card the 3060 12GB is the best card in the lower end of the cost scale for GPUs from Nvidia.

The cheaper 1060 had 3GB, not 3.5. But its GPU was cut down also when compared to the 6GB model. RX 470/480/570/580 at least had their GPU untouched even with half the memory.

And I agree that 8GB is practically the minimum these days with newer games.

8GB bare minimum
12GB people be sweating
16GB ahhh good for the next 2 years
24GB all you all are peasants.

Yet still feels like yesterday when 128MB was fine and 256MB was overkill.. Damn how fast 18 years goes.

So 7600RX with 8 gb (can't really see a 16gb version happening, sorry) is the same bad as 8gb 4060\ti. Isn't it?
And if that happens, what will be with AMD's 'NV is cheaping on RAM' statements?

8 GB memory size confirms the 128-bit memory bus??? This is NOT xx60 class! It's 4050/TI techically that should cost sub 200 bucks (229 if we're generous). xx60 class has offered 1440p/60 since Pascal/Polaris generation back in 2016. Fast forward 7 years and tt seems that dark ages of 1080p/60 400 to 450 bucks NgreedIA GPUs have finally arrived:banghead:
4060/TI will be good for today's and old games, but forget about playing anything above 1080p using UE5 and even this res is becoming questionable in times when AAA game devs & publishers don't give a damn about PC ports optimization. Just look at the state of new Star wars game. Using 18 gigs for 1440p... What a joke :kookoo:
In short: lazy devs + greedy Nvidia = death of PC gaming as we know it. Luckily indi devs are here to stay to save PC gaming in these troubled times.

It all comes down to pricing. Neither will be "future proof", but so far the 4060 seems to be going for >400€ and the 7600 is still unknown, but it might slot in the ~300€ region ("replacing" the 6650XT).

8GB's of VRAM and Star Wars Jedi Survivor using 18GB's in 1440p. Why so little VRAM on these cards? GDDR6X isn't that new anymore. RAM prices have gotten cheaper. I'm surprised we're getting so little right now. Curious to know how this card performs compared to a 6xxx AMD card with 16GB of VRAM in something like that.

Brad Chacos, exec editor of PCWORLD, asked Ngreedia the same question Ngreedia (why so narrow memory buses and little vram). He only got off the record answer. "So that gaming segment dGPUs doesn't cannibalizes our professional quadro line."
It's all about mighty greens for Ngreedia nowdays. Gamers be damned.

Hahah wow, want more VRAM? Get an expensive version of these current chips by supporting their business sector cards even more. nVidia probably trying to line up future releases to maximize profits by releasing super cards, possibly even this year, with the same chips but with VRAM that we need. This feels scammy to me. A 4060 ti should have 12 GB's minimum IMO, and why not just have it release at 16GB? I'd bet that would be the best bet for a successful release. So few people are interested in these current releases that they're just damaging their reputation more. 8GB's is fine for 1080p but I wouldn't actually recommend this card to many people. Most people have 1440p 144hz screens now since they're the cost of what standard 1080p screens were 10 years ago. They'll be thinking about upgrading before the 5000 series even comes out.

If the 4060TI manages to match the 6800 (non XT) in situations where the VRAM doesn't hold it back, while costing <450€, I'll be both impressed and pissed off.

It won't... not with 4352 shading units and 128-bit memory bus. Best bet is 3070TI level of performance in 1080p/1440p and probably worse in 4K due to narrower memory bus. This thing should not cost more than 300 bucks imho, but it will... A LOT more.

Pricing has been an accurate indicator of performance so far in this generation, assuming you factor in an Nvidia premium. If its going to match current 6800 pricing ($450) then it will almost certainly be slower.
