NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with a TBP of only 160W, 20% less than an RTX 3060 Ti?

The upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will reportedly have a significantly lower TDP compared to what we’ve heard in rumors before. NVIDIA could go the absolute efficiency route with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and score with 20% lower TBP than the RTX 3060 Ti. According to another rumor from Kopite7kimi, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has also received a slight spec correction, lowering the TBP value from 220W to just 160W.

It is expected that the RTX 4060 Ti will be launched after the RTX 4070 Non-Ti in terms of timing, which itself would have a TBP of 200W – that’s a reduction of 50W relative to what was planned.

RTX 4060 Ti has a very short reference board. The PG190 still uses CEM5 connector.

Compared to the RTX 3060 Ti, which had a TBP of 200W, the RTX 4060 Ti appears to have a 20% lower TBP, which is consistent with what we can hear about the card itself. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to use the AD106-350, a scaled-down version of the AD106 graphics chip, and rumors suggest it should have 34 SMs or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps over a 128-bit bus interface (giving the card a bandwidth of 288 GB/s).

It is also rumored to have 32 MB of L2 cache, which would be an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Like the RTX 4070, the RTX 4060 Ti will also use the PCIe Gen5 12VHPWR connector, as NVIDIA wants to standardize this across the product lineup. The graphics card will also feature a compact PCB design, both in the reference and non-reference variants. We can only hope that all this will have a positive effect on the prices, which have been rather high for the newer RTX 40 series cards so far. It is assumed that the card will be launched around mid-2023 and NVIDIA could call a price of around 400 to 500 USD. More information is expected in the coming months.
