Nvidia, today, made the RTX 4060 series official. The RTX 4060 series is comprised of three SKUs — RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, and the RTX 4060. The RTX 4060 Ti sports a 32 MB L2 cache for an effective 554 GB/s bandwidth and is rated at a 160 W TGP. Pricing starts from US$299 for the RTX 4060, which puts doubts on whether we will get to see an RTX 4050 after all.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti have been the subject of several leaks by now. Nevertheless, Nvidia has made the RTX 4060 family of Ada GPUs official today. According to Nvidia, the RTX 4060 Ti can be up to 2.6x faster than the RTX 2060 Super and 1.7x faster than the RTX 3060 Ti.

Those figures are with DLSS 3 Frame Generation enabled, though. Otherwise, the RTX 4060 Ti can be expected to be up to 1.6x faster than the RTX 2060 Super. 

The RTX 4060 family includes two variants of the RTX 4060 Ti with 8 GB and 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Other specifications are identical between the two RTX 4060 Ti SKUs. There's also a vanilla RTX 4060 on offer with 8 GB GDDR6.

Nvidia is touting the larger L2 cache on these cards vis-à-vis the corresponding 60-series Ampere and Turing offerings as the main value proposition. Both the RTX 4060 Ti models come with a 32 MB L2 cache while the RTX 4060 makes use of 24 MB L2.

According to Nvidia, the 32 MB of L2 cache together with the 288 GB/s of GDDR6 effectively results in a 554 GB/s bandwidth. Apart from this, Nvidia also said that the RTX 4060 Ti will offer 22 TFLOPs of shader, 51 TFLOPs of RT core, and 353 TFLOPs of Tensor core performance.

The RTX 4060 Ti is rated at a 160 W TGP. Power consumption in idle, video playback, and gaming averages about 7 W, 13 W, and 140 W, respectively.

Although the RTX 4060 stack is official today, Nvidia is focusing on the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB first. The card will be available on May 24 at US$399 MSRP for the Founders Edition while overclocked add-in board (AiB) partner cards will become available a day later. Review embargoes for the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Founders Edition and other similarly priced partner cards will lift on May 23.

The RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, on the other hand, comes with a US$499 MSRP while the vanilla RTX 4060 will retail for US$299 MSRP. Both these cards are slated to be available in July.

Nvidia did not comment on whether there would be an RTX 4050 series this time around, but the presentation seemed to indicate that the company has more or less completed the Ada desktop GPU stack.

The RTX 3050 had a launch price of US$249 MSRP, so it is doubtful whether Nvidia can go below the US$299 pricing of the RTX 4060.
