When it launched the 8GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti in Might 2023, Nvidia additionally revealed that the non-Ti RTX 4060 could be launching in July. However a brand new report means that we could also be getting this graphics card a bit sooner.

The brand new launch date is June 29, based on a doc leaked by dependable Twitter leaker MEGAsizeGPU and backed up by VideoCardZ. This doc appears to put out the complete cargo, assessment embargo, and retail launch schedule for the RTX 4060, which could be seen under: 

• June 9: AIC Press & Influencers Seeding Checklist Submission
• June 12: Ship to Channel/NDA Channel Embargo
• June 21: AIC Press & Influencer Seeding
• June 28: MSRP fashions critiques
• June 29: non-MSRP mannequin critiques & On-Shelf (launch)

Going by this doc, Nvidia is perhaps splitting the assessment embargo throughout MSRP and non-MSRP playing cards, which VideoCardZ asserts is perhaps a course of repeated sooner or later with different merchandise. One thing else to notice is that the 16GB Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti isn’t talked about within the doc, although it’s formally nonetheless slated for a July 2023 launch.

Although we’ve no different official phrase surrounding this variation in launch date, MEGAsizeGPU had beforehand leaked details about the three SKUs of each the RTX 4060 Ti and 4060, which all turned out to be right. So there could possibly be some reality to this newest report, although we’ll have to attend for Nvidia’s affirmation on the finish of June to make sure.

The RTX 4060 could possibly be Nvidia’s savior 

There’s a number of stress for the RTX 4060 to do massive numbers – or a minimum of sufficient to offer Nvidia a desperately wanted presence within the reasonably priced mid-range graphics card market. And it definitely wants a card that may do higher than the apparently struggling RTX 4060 Ti.

Not solely are there studies that the RTX 4060 Ti is promoting poorly in Japan, in addition to in key PC gaming markets like Germany, however AMD’s rival mid-range choice, the RX 7600, is doing a lot better in the identical markets – in some instances it’s even been reported that AMD is promoting out in some areas, whereas Nvidia solely goes by means of 1/10 of its card inventory.

After all, there’s one difficulty that would maintain again the 4060, and that’s its mere 8GB of VRAM. A number of years in the past, that was greater than sufficient for even probably the most demanding of PC video games, however now video games just like the latest PC port of The Final of Us: Half I take advantage of that a lot at simply 1080p decision.

If Nvidia listens to its viewers, and releases a 16GB and even 12GB mannequin of the RTX 4060, that will not solely assist out players; it could even be the proper response to its competitor, the AMD Radeon RX 7600.
