Many manufacturers do not want to release it at all
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB should hit the market on July 18, however, apparently, no reviews may appear before the release of the new product. Reportedly, neither Nvidia itself nor graphics card manufacturers are eager to send new cards to thematic resources before the start of sales.
Hardware Unboxed claims that there is no official review program for the upcoming card.
Even Nvidia itself is shy about the $500 RTX 4060 Ti 16GB?
So the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB should arrive this month on the 18th. I can’t confirm or deny this as I don’t really know, but Nvidia already announced the release in July. There is currently no official review program for this model, there will be no FE version and it seems that Nvidia and their partners are very reluctant to think about it. All the Nvidia partners I’ve spoken to so far have said they won’t provide review samples, and they’re not even sure when their model will be available. So I don’t know when you will be able to view our review, but I will buy it as soon as I can. I expect the coverage to be pretty thin and that’s probably the plan, the release strategy here is similar to that of the RTX 3080 12GB
That is, apparently, both Nvidia itself and video card manufacturers understand that RTX 4060 Ti for $ 500 and above is a very controversial decision, despite 16 GB of memory, so they don’t want gamers to be convinced of this in advance. Moreover, as you can see, some manufacturers do not even know when they will start selling such adapters, and we have already heard that most do not want to release this model at all.
Considering that even for $400, the regular RTX 4060 Ti sucks , according to the same HU, a modification with 16 GB of memory, which will be close to the RTX 4070 in price, will clearly be even worse in terms of price-performance ratio.
