Rumor: [Rumor] 4060TI coming in May for $450

[John Elden Ring]

The expected launch of the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti has been penned in for May by the rumour mongers and, as we shuffle through April, we're starting to hear noises about the pricing for the green team's next most affordable graphics card. With a potential sticker price of $450 the RTX 4060 Ti would be only $50 more expensive than the last generation's RTX 3060 Ti.

The rumour has come from sources cultivated by the Red Gaming Tech channel, reportedly from the same source which provided an early $599 figure for the recently launched RTX 4070. And I've got to say it scans with what we know about the card.

We're expecting performance a little beyond the RTX 3070, which itself was a $499 graphics card. And, given the way pricing has worked out with the RTX 4070 being around RTX 3080 performance for $100 less, $50 less than the RTX 3070's original price point kinda makes sense.

The real sticky issue for the RTX 4060 Ti is its 8GB VRAM limitation. Like the RTX 4070, it will come with a fair chunk of L2 cache attached to the GPU itself, and that will help keep the bandwidth numbers up. At least when compared to what you might otherwise see on a 128-bit memory bus as the card is rumoured to have. But that only helps in bandwidth, not actual capacity to deal with a whole load of game data.

And even so, the rumoured 288 GB/s of memory bandwidth is significantly below the RTX 3070 of the last generation, and the RTX 3060 Ti, even though both older cards were similarly 8GB, too.

Jensen Huang Bahamas vacations need to be paid off? How about a Ti?

PC gaming is collapsing and I don't expect yet another card from NVidia to save it.

NVidia shoulda been making high end exclusives for PC to push the hardware...but they dont have the foresight and don't want the expense.

seriously.
I was thinking about upgrading my 3080 due to low vram... but nope. The only worthy upgrade is 4080 and thats 1500usd directly from nvidia (only considering FE).
My 3080FE was 700$ directly from nvidia and I was still able to sell watch dogs that came with it. I still had to hunt for it on nvidia site for a whole week with alerts and scripts... which alone should not be acceptable.

And the only reason I would upgrade to 4080 is to have more vram. GPU market is a fucking joke.
