New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 leak reveals modest performance gains over existing RTX 3060

The GeForce RTX 4060 is not expected to launch until July, the same month as the 16 GB version of the RTX 4060 Ti. However, VideoCardz has leaked official slides for the former, detailing various specifications and performance numbers. For reference, the RTX 4060 will eventually arrive with the AD107 GPU, which will offer 3,072 CUDA cores and a 2.4 GHz clock speed. NVIDIA will mate the entry-level GPU with 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM clocked at 17 Gbps on a 128-bit memory bus. As such, the RTX 4060 will deliver 272 GB/s memory bandwidth, 16 GB/s shy of the RTX 4060 Ti series.

Additionally, NVIDIA will market the RTX 4060 as producing 15 TFLOPs (FP32), 2 TFLOPs ahead of its predecessor and 1 TFLOP short of the RTX 3060 Ti. Unsurprisingly, the RTX 4060 will provide a modest performance uplift over the RTX 3060, even in cherry-picked titles. NVIDIA's Frame Generation technology (DLSS 3) will stretch this performance advantage further though, but only at 1080p.

Hence, it remains to be seen how these wins will scale at 1440p. Pricing for the RTX 4060 has not surfaced yet, nor is it mentioned in NVIDIA's leaked slides. For context, the RTX 4060 Ti series is set to start at US$399, with NVIDIA setting a US$499 MSRP for the 16 GB variant. NVIDIA is expected to provide more details about the RTX 4060 later today.
