NVIDIA has formally announced the GeForce RTX 4060 Family of graphics cards (and yeah, it’s a family when there are three of them!), with the new GeForce RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4060 Ti 16GB launching in the next few months. Starting with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB next week on May 24, with the RTX 460 Ti 16GB model and the baseline GeForce RTX 4060 arriving in July.

Based on the USD pricing, the GeForce RTX 4060 will most definitely be a mainstream offering - its MSRP of $299 is lower than the launch price of the RTX 3060. In the age of price increases for consoles, games, and all things gaming hardware, this is a wonderful and very welcome surprise - it’s also a first for the GeForce RTX 40 Series.

For the RTX 4060 Ti 8Gb, its USD pricing of $399 is on par with the previous generation’s RTX 3060 Ti. Both cards aim to deliver exceptional 1080p performance, which is still the popular gaming resolution according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey for April 2023. For those still rocking a GeForce GTX 1060 or an RTX 2060, the RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti will deliver a sizable upgrade.

Of course, the good news isn’t limited to pricing as the entire range of RTX 4060 graphics cards will benefit from NVIDIA’s latest innovations and architecture that has already delivered impressive results with the GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and the beast-to-end-all-beasts - the RTX 4090.

All three GPUs will not only outperform their previous generation counterparts but will arrive with support for DLSS 3 and the brand-new Frame Generation technology. In DLSS 3-enabled games, the RTX 4060 Ti will outperform the RTX 3060 Ti by a factor of 1.7X, with the GeForce RTX 4060 able to do the same compared to the RTX 3060.

Here’s a look at GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 benchmarks for 1080p gaming courtesy of NVIDIA. Note that the difference between the 8GB and 16GB models is the increase in VRAM - which would be for those that want more capacity for the handful of AAA PC games that might require more memory to run with all settings cranked.

In addition to improved gen-on-gen performance, the GeForce RTX 4060 Family will be more power efficient - where thanks to the new Ada Lovelace architecture, you’re looking at more frames-per-second action using up to 30% less energy.

All three GPUs will launch with the new AV1 encoding feature for content creators (better quality video using the same or lower bandwidth) and advanced AI capabilities.

And for competitive gamers, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be a monster, delivering 330fps in Counter-Strike 2, 260fps in Overwatch 2, and 350fps in Valorant, and all with a low latency thanks to NVIDIA Reflex.

Stay tuned, as we’ll have more to say soon.
