The RTX 4000 based on the Ada Lovelace architecture that are on the market are aimed at enthusiasts, who are the ones who have the most to spend or who can deduct part of the price for labor issues. But it's expanding into the mid-range with cards that should have lower prices like the RTX 4060 Ti, which will sell for less than $500, according to rumors and trends. A performance report recently leaked with similar results to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3070.
It is not yet known what prices the rest of the RTX 4000 Ti graphics will have, and it will be something important if they want to stay above the sales of the AMD Radeon 6000 and 7000. At least for performance, even the entry-level of the RTX 4000 It would be on par with the mid-range 3000.
If you want an RTX 3070 Ti, the 4060 Ti is still for you
Regarding performance, Kopite7kimi suggests that the 4060 Ti will only match the 3070, which isn't much in principle, but it might be of interest to those who haven't yet upgraded their graphics card to that performance level. That level of performance would put the 4060 Ti on par with the 3070 Ti or even the 10GB 3080.
Nvidia's RTX 3060 Ti is currently one of the best graphics cards in its price segment, but it has a successor. The 4060 Ti will use a more recent microarchitecture, and performance will likely improve as well. But Nvidia has raised prices on all 4000-series GPUs, and that could happen on the 60-series equivalent.
In terms of specifications, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be based on the AD106 GPU with 4.352 CUDA cores paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory at 18 Gbps using a 128-bit interface. It will have a considerably lower number of stream processors, with 5888 CUDA cores, as well as 33% less memory, which could result in a substantial performance gap compared to the standard RTX 4070. Its main advantage is a power consumption of 160 W, considered very low for this performance range . It would benefit slightly from DLSS and FrameGeneration, though not significantly. However, it would still be an option to consider for those who haven't yet upgraded to the 3000 or 4000 series.
