NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Available as 8 GB and 16 GB, This Month. RTX 4060 in July
In what could explain the greater attention by leaky taps on the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti compared to its sibling, the RTX 4060, NVIDIA is preparing a staggered launch for its RTX 4060-series. We're also learning that there are as many as three SKUs in the series—the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, and the RTX 4060. All three will be announced later this month, however, only the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB will be available to purchase at the time. The RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB and RTX 4060 will be available from July.
At this point, little is known about what segments the 8 GB and 16 GB variants of the RTX 4060 Ti besides memory size. The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is rumored to feature 34 out of 36 streaming multiprocessors (SM) physically present on the 5 nm "AD106" silicon, which gives NVIDIA some theoretical headroom to enable a few more shaders. These 34 work out to 4,352 CUDA cores, while a fully unlocked AD106 has 4,608. The RTX 4060 is a significantly different SKU that's based on a maxed out "AD107" silicon, with 30 SM, or 3,840 CUDA cores, although it should be possible for some RTX 4060 cards be based on a heavily cut-down AD106.

Edit: I could reference all the way back to the Kepler series. The GTX 780 came with a 6 GB VRAM version and the GTX 780 Ti, while the GPU was considerably faster, only came with 3 GB VRAM.
4060TI/4060 with 16 GB VRAM could unironically be the most future proof budget card in the Ada line up compared to the 4070/4070TI with just 12 GB VRAM once games require 16 GB VRAM for maximum texture quality.
Which will be the reality in a few years time.
What happened with the 3070 will happen with the 4070 again down the road.

But "balance" seems to be too advanced a concept these days, everybody just wants "moar everything!".
Sure, if it's $10-20 more for the 16GB version, just get that. But as somebody else pointed out, if it's $100 more, you're better off buying into the next tier.
The 4060 is expected to at least match 3060TI so it should have more RAM or it'll have a serious risk of being DOA.
At the low end they use high Vram to sell chips , Just like AMD.
In the mid range you get trolled.
And in the high end especially but in general your wallets getting a beating.
Knee jerk, look at 3060's, same shit different gen.
There are plenty of examples of 3060 beating 3070 in new, vram hungry games just because of more VRAM and in spite of weaker core.
vram difference and also cuda and clock speed diff
