Nvidia confirms when the RTX 4060 will go on sale, gives us a price, and promises faster performance than the RTX 3060.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Nvidia has announced in a blog post that the upcoming RTX 4060 graphics card will go on sale June 29 - as previously rumored - as well as detailing some official benchmark results for the card.

According to the figures provided by Nvidia, the RTX 4060 has shown a significant leap in performance that its Ampere predecessor the RTX 3060 - as much as double the framerate in some games., However, the new card shows off most of its advantages with AI-powered frame generation in DLSS 3 enabled.

Without this, it is only 20% faster, according to Nvidia. The RTX 4060 graphics card has been hotly anticipated, representing a potentially
excellent upgrade for gamers still running older hardware. Nvidia noted in
its blog post that according to the most recent Steam Hardware Survey 77% of gamers play at 1080p or lower resolutions. For these gamers, the new GeForce RTX 4060 is a great upgrade.

The MSRP of the card sits at around $299 (about 235 or AU$ 440) which is cheaper than the existing RTX 4060 Ti and could prove to be better value in terms of price-vs-performance too. (Image credit: Nvidia ) Time to get excited?

So the bottom line is that the RTX 4060 is 20% faster than the RTX 3060 in most games, with Nvidia suggesting that youll actually achieve 70% better performance on average if youre playing a game with support for DLSS 3. The 4060 also achieves this level of performance while drawing less power than
its predecessor, an average of 110W compared to the 3060s 170W. This could push the RTX 4060 pretty high up on our best graphics card list.

The big announcement here is that we finally have a solid date for when you can expect to buy the RTX 4060 graphics card, and its very soon indeed. Its also good to see actual benchmark results from Nvidia rather than just leaks and rumors.

While a 20% generational uplift could appear a bit disappointing, it does
line up with the previous performance jump seen between the RTX 2060 and the RTX 3060. Its also worth noting that the launch price will actually be
cheaper than the 3060, which originally retailed at $329 in the US.

All signs point to this potentially being the budget GPU from Nvidia gamers have been waiting for, after a slew of expensive cards led by the flagship
RTX 4090 . Of course, well have to wait and see exactly what this GPU has in store - but at least now we know we wont have to wait long.
