The price difference is minimal
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB has an MSRP of $500. Of course, this is the price of the basic versions, and modifications will be much more expensive. And some might be as low as the base RTX 4070s that start at $600. For example, the Asus ROG Strix model in China will be only 100 yuan or $14 cheaper than the most affordable versions of the RTX 4070.
We’re talking about $650 for an Asus card, but it’s worth remembering that in China, the recommended prices are higher than in the US. That is, in the US, you can expect that the new Asus can cost about 580-590 dollars.
That’s Nvidia’s “available” 16 GB.
Interestingly, while some buyers may actually choose the RTX 4060 Ti because it has 16 GB of memory versus 12 GB for the RTX 4070. Of course, in this case, the second card will still be much more powerful, but not all buyers ask this question before buying , guided sometimes only by the amount of memory.
Recall that today it became known that only a few video card manufacturers want to release RTX 4060 Ti 16GB .
