Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Rumored to Have a 165W TDP
So, that would be double the VRAM, but just an extra 5W.
We are just 10 days away from the rumored reveal date of the desktop GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card family. As May 24th nears, quite a few of the finer details seem to be coming into clarity. A few hours ago VideoCardz sources told the site that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM will require an extra 5W from your PSU. Thus, this Ada Lovelace mid-ranger with 16GB is expected to be delivered with a 165W TDP.
The TDP info comes along with some other interesting rumored configuration information via the same source. For example, it is claimed that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and RTX 4060 Ti 16GB are both based upon the same board design (PG190).
Despite this, the SKU increments from PG190 361 to PG190 363, says VideoCardz. However, something about the design of the 16GB model seems to have required a GPU tweak. Thus, we will be seeing the GPU codename increment from AD106-350 to AD106-351.
Other than the memory configuration change, the 5W TDP difference, and a few SKU / codename tweaks, there are thought to be no material differences between the 8GB and 16GB models of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. In other words, expect all RTX 4060 Ti variants to have the a CUDA core count of 4,352. Apparently, Nvidia learned a humiliating, hard and expensive lesson during the RTX 4080 12GB debacle.
Row 0 - Cell 0 | GPU | FP32 CUDA Cores | Memory Configuration | TBP | MSRP |
GeForce RTX 4090 Ti | AD102 | 18176 (?) | 24GB 384-bit 24 GT/s GDDR6X (?) | 600W (?) | ? |
GeForce RTX 4090 | AD102 | 16384 | 24GB 384-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X | 450W | $1,599 |
GeForce RTX 4080 | AD103 | 9728 | 16GB 256-bit 22.4 GT/s GDDR6X | 320W | $1,199 |
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | AD104 | 7680 | 12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X | 285W | $799 |
GeForce RTX 4070 | AD104 | 5888 | 12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X | 200W | $599 |
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti* | AD106 | 4352 (?) | 8GB or 16GB 128-bit 18 GT/s GDDR6 (?) | 160W / 165W (?) | sub-$500 (?) |
GeForce RTX 4060* | AD106 | 3072 (?) | 8GB or 16GB 128-bit 18 GT/s GDDR6 (?) | (?) | sub-$400 (?) |
Our latest table, bursting with Ada Lovelace GPU facts and rumors*, is embedded above. You can see that we have added four members of the GeForce RTX 4060 family, as we now seem to be getting a regular and Ti version of this card in both 8GB and 16GB variations.
While Nvidia is expected to announce all the GeForce RTX 4060 family on Wednesday, May 24, the release may be staggered. First along, this month, should be the RTX 4060 Ti with 8GB. However, those looking for a cheaper entry to the RTX 40 series with the RTX 4060 8GB will have to wait until sometime in July. Similarly, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and RTX 4060 16GB models are tipped for a July release.
If you are more interested in the RDNA 3 architecture wares of the red team, there are also rumors that the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (8GB) will debut on May 25.

PlaneInTheSky Where is the RX 7600 with 16GB VRAM AMD? Big talk from AMD about having more VRAM on $700 GPU, but when it comes to mainstream GPU, AMD is shortchanging consumers.Reply -

We agree! Awesome.PlaneInTheSky said:Where is the RX 7600 with 16GB VRAM AMD? Big talk from AMD about having more VRAM on $700 GPU, but when it comes to mainstream GPU, AMD is shortchanging consumers.
Yeah 12GB needs to be the new minimum if you ask me. 8GB cards are just getting to dated at 1080P. 16GB will soon be needed at even 1080P (arguably now in some fringe cases). -
Amdlova 165w 16gb not bad but what price? The bandwith is too low for asking 500us for it max 350Reply -

like nvidia is doing with this and other cards that arent 4080or 4090 ????PlaneInTheSky said:AMD is shortchanging consumers. -
PlaneInTheSky
Sure, but with the 4060 Ti we will finally have a "mainstream" card with 16GB of VRAM (pending rumours).Ogotai said:like nvidia is doing with this and other cards that arent 4080or 4090
AMD made all this hoopla about their cards having more VRAM, but now they're about to launch an RX 7600 with only 8GB VRAM. What's up with that. -
Ogotai its pathetic that they are releasing a card that has more ram, then a higher tier card. it should be the other way around,the 4070 should have 16, and this card, 12. the lower you go the less ram it should have, but now, no lower then 8Reply -

Correct you ADA table and this particular line. There is NO 16GB RTX 4060 (non-Ti) version planned and/or is in Nvidia's roadmap, as of now. The RTX 4060 8GB is tipped for a later July release, not 16GB. -

It's more pathetic they make extra ram a selling point and charging premium for it, it just shows that extra GPU power outside of ram is not that appealing to consumers to pay for it.Ogotai said:its pathetic that they are releasing a card that has more ram, then a higher tier card. it should be the other way around,the 4070 should have 16, and this card, 12. the lower you go the less ram it should have, but now, no lower then 8
It's up to consumers whether they tolerate it or not, car manufacturers in my country once tried to make "manual air-conditioning" a feature in a "special pack" with other useless things and asked good 20% extra of full price of a car...it did not last long. They are still trying this BS with regular cruise control, some 80+ years old tech... -
Roland Of Gilead So, the 4060ti comes with less cuda cores than a 3060ti, along with a reduced bus witdh!! I don't see how this GPU get's well ahead of the 3060i too much. Can a refined process give the lift needed over last gen, with lesser bandwidth and cores? Meh!Reply
