The novelty will perform at the level of RTX 3070
While the already released GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards offer impressive performance gains over their direct predecessors, it is not certain that the same should be expected from lower-end cards. For example, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, according to recent data, will be nowhere near as impressive.
Well-known insider kopite7kimi claims that the RTX 4060 Ti will be equal to the RTX 3070. The problem is that the RTX 3070 is faster than the RTX 3060 Ti by about 10-15% depending on the game and resolution. That is, the RTX 4060 Ti will be faster than its predecessor by the same 10-15%.
Of course, the price is also important in such comparisons, since the same RTX 4070 Ti is much faster than its predecessor, but also more expensive than the latter at the start.
The RTX 3060 Ti came out with a $400 price tag. How much the RTX 4060 Ti will cost is still unclear, but we do know that the RTX 4070 Ti is $800, followed by the RTX 4070 for some under $800, and even lower is the RTX 4060 Ti. But there’s such a huge gap between $800 and $400 that it could very well be that the RTX 4060 Ti will be no cheaper or even more expensive than the RTX 3060 Ti with a modest performance boost. But, according to the same source, the TDP of the novelty will be only 160 watts .
Insider kopite7kimi was the first to accurately describe the parameters of the GeForce RTX 30 cards, and he described the RTX 40 cards more than once. In general, he is one of the most reliable sources in the segment.
