NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti To Feature AD106 GPU, 4352 Cores, 8 GB GDDR6 Memory & 220W TDP
For 2023, we know that NVIDIA is going to kick things off with its GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card but the green team also plans to enter the more mainstream segment with the RTX 4070 and 4060 Ti series graphics cards. Rumored specifications for the GeForce RTX 4070 were revealed last week and it looks like Kopite7kimi is now providing us with possible specifications of the RTX 4060 Ti GPU that is expected to launch around mid of 2023.

It will carry the 5nm Ada Lovelace architecture and is expected to use the Ada AD106-350-A1 GPU SKU. The GPU is going to carry 4352 CUDA cores which is 256 fewer cores than the full configuration of the chip which carries 30 SMs or 4608 cores. The GPU will also pack 32 MB of L2 cache and feature a TDP of 220W which is 20W higher than the RTX 3060 Ti and 30W lower vs the RTX 4070’s rumored TDP. As for the memory configuration, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti would be featuring 8 GB capacity with speeds of up to 18 Gbps in the standard GDDR6 flavors. It looks like NVIDIA isn’t going to give GDDR6X treatment to its mainstream lineup however, the 3060 Ti did receive a GDDR6X upgrade several months after its launch. This may be kept for a future refresh with higher cores and faster memory. With 18 Gbps memory featured across a 128-bit bus interface, we will be getting 288 GB per second of bandwidth from this card. It is also mentioned that the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 Ti should feature a very short reference PCB and is based on the PG190 design. The PCB still makes use of the PCIe Gen5 ‘12VHPWR’ connector so it looks like NVIDIA wants to standardize the new connector across its entire lineup because the 220W TDP can be fulfilled by a single 8-pin connector (150W+75W). NVIDIA’s mainstream Ada GPUs will soon be entering the laptop segment at CES 2023 so we are bound to see them on desktops by the mid of 2023.
