Nvidia has received considerable criticism for its power-hungry high-end GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards based on the Ada Lovelace architecture.According to a well-known hardware leaker @kopite7 youNvidia is currently looking to significantly improve the power efficiency of its mainstream GeForce RTX 4060 Ti parts.
As with any leak, take the news in a pinch until real benchmarks and tests can be conducted.
According to kopite7kimi, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti would feature up to 160W of thermal graphics power instead of the 220W originally reported. On the other hand, the general specifications of the products remain largely the same. The board features an AD106 graphics processing unit with 4352 CUDA cores and 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory connected using a 128-bit interface.
At this time, it is unknown how the new TGP will affect the GPU frequency and performance of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and AD106 processors. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti with 4352 CUDA cores lags significantly behind the rumored specs of the GeForce RTX 4070 which is said to have 5888 CUDA cores. If the AD106’s GPU clocks drop significantly from what was originally planned, the performance gap between the GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti would widen.
| GPUs | FP32 CUDA core | memory configuration | TBP | |
| GeForce RTX 4090 | AD102 | 16384 | 24GB 384bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | 450W |
| GeForce RTX 4080 | AD103 | 9728 | 16GB 256bit 22.4GT/s GDDR6X | 320W |
| GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | AD104 | 7680 | 12GB 192bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | 285W |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | AD104 | ?5888? | 12GB 192bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | ?250W? |
| GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | AD106 | ?4352? | 8GB 128bit 18GT/s GDDR6 | ?160W? |
With 8GB of 128-bit GDDR6 memory, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti can offer 43% lower memory bandwidth compared to the GeForce RTX 4070. resolution and/or anti-aliasing enabled) can be huge. On the other hand, the new product also features his 36% lower memory bandwidth than its direct predecessor, his GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 memory. Of course, we would expect the 32MB L2 cache to alleviate the bandwidth limitation somewhat, but only testing will reveal if this is the case.
On the other hand, having only 8 GB of memory is another feature that can be considered a limitation. We already felt that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, and 3070 Ti’s 8 GB of memory was becoming the limiting factor. These are products that will be launched in 2020-2021. Despite all these factors, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti could still be on board. Ranks among the best graphics cards because it easily outperforms its predecessor.
With a 160W TGP, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti can position itself as a viable graphics solution for small form factor gaming PCs. The board is rumored to feature a very short reference design, which is why Nvidia’s partner is offering a dual-slot board for his Mini-ITX machines, and possibly a single-his-slot variant for thin PCs. I hope you will.
Remember, we’re talking about leaked specs from unofficial sources.
