NVIDIA RTX 4060 Announced: 20% Faster than the RTX 3060 with 60W Less Power and 8GB VRAM

NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 4060 alongside the 4060 Ti earlier today. Based on the AD107 die, the RTX 4060 features 3,072 FP32 cores paired with 8GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 17Gbps. The GPU has a bus width of 128-bit and an L2 cache of 24MB. The graphics core operates at a base clock of 1.83GHz and a boost of 2.46GHz, drawing up to 115W of power under load. Unexpectedly, it will be priced less than its predecessor, at $299 only, with a planned launch in July 2023.
