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."



DLSS Brings AI-Accelerated Performance to 300+ Titles
The GeForce RTX 4060 family provides access to the 300+ games and applications that now support DLSS, with eagerly anticipated titles The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and Diablo IV to include DLSS 3. A DLSS 3 plug-in for Unreal Engine 5 is also coming soon.

DLSS 3 showcases the growing importance of AI in real-time games by creating new, high-quality frames for smoother gameplay. It massively increases performance in combination with DLSS Super Resolution, which uses AI to output higher-resolution frames from a lower-resolution input. Exceptional responsiveness is maintained through NVIDIA Reflex, which reduces input lag.

The Ultimate Graphics Cards for 1080p Gaming
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is on average 2.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU and 1.7x faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU. For titles without frame generation, the RTX 4060 Ti is 1.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU.

The RTX 4060 Ti's memory subsystem features 32 MB of L2 cache and 8 GB or 16 GB of ultra-high speed GDDR6 memory. The RTX 4060 has 24 MB of L2 cache with 8 GB of GDDR6. The L2 cache reduces demands on the GPU's memory interface, ultimately improving performance and power efficiency.

Ray tracing performance has improved significantly from the previous generation, thanks to advancements like Shader Execution Reordering, cutting-edge Opacity Micromap and Displaced Micro-Mesh Engines. These innovations enable even the most demanding games to simultaneously implement multiple ray tracing effects, and even full ray tracing, also known as path tracing, for unparalleled realism and immersion.

Perfect for Content Creators
The GeForce RTX 4060 family of GPUs comes backed by the NVIDIA Studio platform, which brings creators RTX acceleration and AI tools at a more accessible starting price. Serving livestreamers, video editors, 3D artists and others, the platform supercharges over 110 creative apps, provides lasting stability with NVIDIA Studio Drivers and includes a powerful suite of AI powered Studio software, such as NVIDIA Omniverse, Canvas and Broadcast.

Creators of many disciplines can benefit from new fourth-generation Tensor Cores, which provide a significant performance increase for AI tools compared with the last generation. Accelerated AI features allow creators to automate tedious tasks and apply advanced effects with ease.

3D modelers rendering high-resolution, ray-traced scenes can expect up to 45% faster performance than with the previous-generation GeForce RTX 3060 family. Adding AI-powered DLSS 3—including within Omniverse, a hub for interconnecting existing 3D workflows to replace linear pipelines with live-sync creation and real-time collaboration—greatly accelerates the viewport in real-time 3D rendering applications, enabling a more fluid editing experience with full lighting, materials and physics.

Broadcasters can use the eighth-generation NVIDIA video encoder, called NVENC, with best-in class AV1 hardware encoding, and benefit from 40% better encoding efficiency. Livestreams will appear as if bitrate was increased by 40%—a big boost in image quality for popular broadcast apps like OBS Studio. Broadcasters can also benefit from NVIDIA Broadcast and its set of AI effects that improve microphones and webcams, turning rooms into home studios.

Video editors can benefit from a host of AI tools like auto-reframe, smart object selection and depth estimation, now available in top applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and export in AV1 for reduced file sizes.

GeForce RTX Offers a Graphics Card for Every Kind of User
With this latest launch, the GeForce RTX 40 Series now has an option for every resolution and every user.

NVIDIA will celebrate the 4060 family's launch with 100 streamers, and give away 460 of the new cards to members of the gaming community as part of its "Summer of RTX" event. Learn more on the sweepstakes webpage.

well now that changes some things
 
Finally, something on the sub-400 dollars category, let's see how well it performs.
 
" For titles without frame generation, the RTX 4060 Ti is 1.6x faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER GPU."

So what does that mean for pure raster performance for the 4060 vs the 3060? Am I making an incorrect deduction in thinking that the performance increase of the 4060 over the 3060 will be very disappointing? Somebody had made the prediction in a comment the other day and it seems like they might be correct.

From that statement it looks like 4060 ti will be about the same as 3060ti in raster, but consuming less power, better RT and DLSS 3. 4060 will probably be a bit faster than 3060 since it is only a slightly cut down 4060ti. 3060ti is a cut down 3070 and performs much better than 3060.

My guess:
4060=3060+10-20% on raster
4060ti=3060ti on raster

4060 = 3060 + 20%
4060Ti = 3060Ti + 15%
They said so in the slides

Still overpriced for a 50 class GPU. 4060 is a great example of entry level CUDA costing $$. 4060 Ti 8GB is a 1080p VRAM disaster. $500 is far too much for entry level 1440p that 4060 Ti 16GB represents.
 
I just got an official email from Nvidia with the price in euros

3060Ti + 15% is basically a 3070 (non-ti). $400 seems reasonable, if not exciting. No real AMD competitor at that price with the 6700XT being cheaper but slower and the 6800 being faster but more expensive.
 
Those 4060Ti 8GB vs 3060Ti vs 2060S and 4060Ti 16GB vs 3060Ti vs 2060S charts are identical (other than Plague Tale and RE where the lines are shifted left equally in the 16GB version). Nvidia did not even bother to benchmark the 16GB GPU because it most likely does not exist yet.
 
It isn't that more powerful than previous gen if you compare the difference between the 2060 Super and the 3060Ti, it should have been at least 32TFLOPs...

no one mentioned anything about a RTX 4050 and the RTX3060 MSRP was $329 so that's a $30 price reduction to the RTX4060 which is the GPU brought up

You can't compare different things. It is a nonsense.

3060Ti + 15% is basically a 3070 (non-ti). $400 seems reasonable, if not exciting. No real AMD competitor at that price with the 6700XT being cheaper but slower and the 6800 being faster but more expensive.
Yeahh, that is more than a 1080Ti (cost 699). The 4060Ti for $700 seems reasonable. (or may be not)
 
We have to accept the new normal as shown in the last slide and to a point it's a pretty good line up. 2x the price for 2x the perf and then at 4K it's 1,6 perf. Yeah what could have and should have, 50 named as 60 and priced as 70. Nvidia got it all figured out using AI most likely. So 4060/Ti is essentially a 2080/Ti, and 4070/Ti is 3080/Ti.
 
no one mentioned anything about a RTX 4050
You still believe it's an x60 GPU only because Jensen told you so? It could be considered x60 only with 12GB VRAM, though CUDA reduction would still make it hard to justify, even with the huge cache increase.

yeah, it's their product and they can name it the ultra epic killer GPU for all I care

i see you don't like it so you tossed an immature comment about it...how fitting for you
though CUDA reduction would still make it hard to justify, even with the huge cache increase.
the market will justify it regardless and it will live or die based on that. Nvidia will sell boat loads of it to the mass PC brands because it hits a business price point for their "gaming rigs". Business is hard to understand for idiot fan boys which is why they are not part of business but rather sitting in mom's basement.

have good day, I give you permission to quote me on anything else as I'm done educating the ignorant

Yes it' also an xx50 tier product which started around $150 back in the day, only 2 gens back! I guess inflation also works like frame gen at Nvidia HQ :laugh:
$150 was basically the cost of my first Nvidia card, the 6600GT. inflation does suck as does Nvidia's add on "features'"
 
I`ll wait for the 24GB 4070..
 
PCI 4.0 x8 + 8Gb VRAM = Stillborn...
Only a mindless fanatic or someone who is not in the tech world would pay that much for that GPU.
 
This seems rather disappointing. Performance is horrid vs last Gen
 
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB version will be available in July, starting at $499.

500 bucks for 1080p dGPU? NGreedia just smashed new world record on the greed scale.

70% Faster Than 3060 Ti

Erasing that 0 will actually give you an honest statement :nutkick:
