New mid-range graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia to be released this month
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti will be released on 24 May, its competitor, the Radeon RX 7600 XT, one day later. This is what is known about the cards so far.
After AMD and Nvidia have already released the top-of-the-range cards of the current graphics card generation, it is now the turn of the mid-range. It starts with the RTX 4060 Ti from Nvidia. According to the leaker MEGAsizeGPU, it will be available in three versions.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 / Ti
The RTX 4060 Ti with 8 gigabytes (GB) of video memory will be released on the 24th. The card will come with the AD106 chip. 34 of the 36 physical streaming multiprocessors (SM) are said to be active on the chip. This results in 4354 Cuda cores, around 35 per cent less than its big sister RTX 4070, which means that the performance in games should be roughly equivalent to a previous-generation RTX 3070 Ti. According to the leak, the maximum thermal power dissipation (TDP) is 160 watts.
The RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB of video memory and the RTX 4060 are set to follow in July. The TDP of the former is five watts higher than the 8 GB version. The memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s should be identical to the smaller model. According to the leak, the number of SMs also remains the same as the model with 8 GB of video memory. The version with more memory is intended to accommodate games with high memory requirements.
There are fewer leaks about the RTX 4060. It is not clear whether it is based on a heavily trimmed AD106 or an AD107 chip. In terms of the Cuda cores, 3072 is probably to be expected. In other words, just over 40 per cent less than the Ti versions.
Radeon RX 7600 XT
Leaker Moore's Law Is Dead wants to know that the Radeon RX 7600 XT will go on sale on 25 May. The first reviews are expected to go live on 24 May. The card is said to be based on the Navi-33 chip and offer around eleven per cent more FPS than an RX 6650 XT. The TDP is around 175 watts, which is higher than the comparable RTX 4060 Ti. The video memory is said to have 8 GB available.
As all information is based on leaks, it should be treated with caution. As soon as the cards are officially unveiled, you will read about it here. <p
