A new leak tells us more about the upcoming RTX 4060, and it's safe to say the card doesn't sound great at all.
Nvidia’s RTX 4060 could have been a fan favorite and one of the best graphics cards in the midrange sector, but it seems that it might be a bit of a flop instead.
Most of us expected the RTX 4060 to be similarly well-received, especially if you consider the unexpected success of the RTX 4070 Ti. Simply put, most of us don’t want to spend $2,000 on a GPU, so these more budget-friendly choices are always welcome — unless they turn out to be worse than their last-gen counterparts, that is.
The upcoming RTX 4060 also seems to have considerably less VRAM than its Ampere counterpart. It’s said to release with 8GB of 18Gbps GDDR6 memory, whereas the RTX 3060 had 12GB, but clocked at 15Gbps. However, the GPU is getting a much-needed L2 cache upgrade, and it’s massive, marking a 700% boost from Ampere. The RTX 4060 is said to come with 24MB of L2 cache while the 3060 only has 3MB. However, it’s still half the L2 cache of the RTX 4070 Ti.
It’s difficult to say why Nvidia would want to release such a cutdown, mobile version of the chip. Aside from the Ada Lovelace architecture, the RTX 4060 doesn’t seem to have much to recommend it. It might be one of the most power-conservative GPUs in Nvidia’s lineup, however, because rumor has it that it will come with a 115-watt TDP — 32% lower than the RTX 3060.
