[Hardware] Nvidia RTX 4060 – release date, price, spec, and benchmark rumours

[Ilhem]

The Nvidia RTX 4060 won't be the most powerful GeForce graphics card in team green's Lovelace lineup, providing it sees the light of day, but it may prove popular with budget builders looking to maximise value. This, of course, depends on its price point and how well it stacks up against rival manufacturers' offerings and previous generation GPUs.

When it comes to the title of best graphics card, it could be argued that the RTX 4060 is a ruler in waiting. The 60 class pixel pushers often prove to be the most prolific members of every GeForce series, and Nvidia is likely expecting this GPU to accrue a similar level of popularity.

While support for Nvidia DLSS and other features like Nvidia Reflex are something of a given for the RTX 4060, we’ve compiled all the rumours and leaks surrounding its release date, price, specs, and benchmarks.

Here’s everything we know about the RTX 4060:

Nvidia RTX 4060 price speculation

The Nvidia RTX 4060 price is yet to be confirmed, but we can expect the mainstream GeForce GPU to cost far more than the RTX 3060, if its siblings are anything to go by.

The RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 debuted with much higher MSRPs than their previous generation equivalents, with team green increasing prices by $200-$500 USD. It’s unclear how much more expensive we can expect the RTX 4060 to be, but it’s highly unlikely it will come in at the same $329 price point as the RTX 3060.

Nvidia RTX 4060 release date rumours

We’ll likely see an Nvidia RTX 4060 release date announcement sometime in 2023, as team green gives its more powerful Lovelace graphics cards room to breathe on the market.

Team green are also still dealing with an overabundance of RTX 3000 GPUs, so the company will likely hold off launching this GeForce graphics card for as long as they can while stocks dry up.

Nvidia RTX 4060 specs rumours

Not much is known about what the RTX 4060 specs look like, but it’s reasonable to assume that it will feature team green’s new Optical Flow Accelerator, so it can support Nvidia DLSS 3.

The best power supply should be more than enough to satiate the mainstream GeForce GPU, but rumours suggest the RTX 4060 could consume more power than the RTX 3070. So, if you’re planning on upgrading your low-spec rig, you might want to switch out your PSU too.

Nvidia RTX 4060 benchmark rumours

It’ll likely be a while before the first RTX 4060 benchmark sees the light of day. That said, reliable rumour mongers are already peddling their best guesses and insider information on the pixel pusher’s power.

Some leakers claim that RTX 4060 performance may mirror the RTX 3070, but this is likely not taking into account its ability to use Nvidia DLSS 3 to push frame rates even higher in supported games.

We’ll be able to provide our own benchmark results when the RTX 4060 arrives on the scene, comparing it with the results in our RTX 4080 review and other graphics cards.
