NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Goes on Sale, Starting $299

[btarunr]

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 "Ada" started selling today, with its baseline price at USD $299. The swanky new performance segment graphics card is meant to succeed the popular RTX 3060 "Ampere," offering around 10-20% higher performance, at 50% lower power-draw thanks to the 5 nm foundry process. The card sports the new DLSS 3 Frame Generation feature that nearly doubles performance at comparable image quality, as it generates entire alternate frames entirely using AI, without involving the graphics rendering machinery. NVIDIA is ensuring its board partners have products at the $299 MSRP, most of the premium overclocked RTX 4060 cards are priced $20-40 higher, with the notable exception of the ASUS ROG Strix, which is going for $389, just short of the RTX 4060 Ti MSRP.

Lolololol. Best meme I’ve seen in the PC nerd space in a long time. Bravo!

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

No Thank you Nvidia I have enough 50 series cards as is(1), and they cost much less, ie spin on it fools.

I think we are getting f-up at this gen by ngreedia and amd, both 7600 and 4060 are sub $ 200 products that shouldnt even be called by those model names, they fit better as 7500 XT (full silicon) and RTX 4050 or Ti (cutdown 4060) by specs, performance and power. $250 and $ 300 for this kind of stuff, LOL, one more laughable than the other. One upon a time a RX 480 8 GB with far bigger BOM was $ 180 street price, and if still alive as a GPU they still get along with games not that far in performance. Long live RDNA2 and Ampere... godspeed memory mods to Ampere.

Its even worse than 50 series GPU.

I'd rather spend $290 on a 12GB 3060, simply just because of the 12GB of VRAM. Some of those games coming out shouldn't, but do seem to eat up 8+ GB when you're playing games just at 1080p. I'd hate to get any GPU these days without enough VRAM that could hinder my gaming performance, even if I'm only spending $250-300 and just want to play games at 1080p.

What's with all these budget 128-bit cards having 3 fans.

ROFL here, i'm still laughing from the 6500 XT with 3 fans, my cheeks hurt! My 180w TDP R9 Nano with a single 92mm fan also laughs and temps are still below 80°C!

Be prepared to rally the troops.

Don't forget the 6700 XT, ~$320 and a lot more performance.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Overpriced card already on sale? Shocking /s

 

[Vayra86]

Why are these cards so big? It looks silly, lazy, much like the chip underneath

The dual-fan ones actually have crappy radiators and run hot or loud (except for the ASUS one). Design choice to try and get people to buy the more expensive models.

But releasing a 107 chip as a x60 card is absurd.

 

[QUANTUMPHYSICS]

If you don't get the 4090, there's no point.

I believe we call that “overcompensating.”

If you were looking at a 3060 for a lesser price, sure, but I can't say I'd agree if it's a 3060 priced the same as a 4060.

You're looking to have worse performance in most gaming scenarios with higher power consumption and an older feature set, just in hopes that you might have some better performance in edge case scenarios? (i.e. Loads that exceed 8GB of VRAM usage, but are also simultaneously not too computationally demanding for the 3060's core to handle well)

nVidia wants to have the best and worst GPU in this pathetic generation of GPUs.

That isn't correct. The MSI Gaming X runs cool despite taking up only two slots and having two fans. Galax's EX also deserves an honourable mention despite its wacky out of the box fan settings.

 

[Prima.Vera]

Laughable performance too....

 

[renz496]

vote for no. already have 3060Ti. for new build this thing need to be $200.

Laughable performance too....

performance is fine. just not at $300.

 

[Ripcord]

The problem is the price not the cards

 

[KLMR]

On sale? Shouldn't be:
"NVIDIA blablabla Released, Starting at 299$"
