When the GeForce RTX 40 series was released, the part that stood at the center of the biggest controversy was “price”. That would be the case, and the price was maintained while the specifications were adjusted down to a certain level, but the biggest part was the memory interface part. However, Nvidia’s RTX 40 series actually focuses on improving the core, so the performance improvement of the GPU core itself is an obvious part. However, the part that forcibly blocked this was the memory interface part that I talked about earlier. In this and that atmosphere, controversy, but over time Nvidia is releasing new products to fill the lineup of the GeForce RTX 40 series.
Following the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti a while ago, the “GeForce RTX 4060” is finally released today. The “60” lineup by generation is the last product in the new product launch by generation, but it has the longest life span and is a steady seller product that is sold for a long time. Let’s take a closer look at what kind of performance and what kind of “meaning” this product has been released.
■ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Lower power consumption at FHD resolution, performance is DLSS 3.0, GeForce RTX 4060
Today, it is simply a generational bridge with the flagship graphics card of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series.
Is it a graphics card that can be installed blindly at the price?
As a result, the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB, which can be seen as the previous generation, showed advanced performance, but showed lower performance than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which can be seen as an advanced model. We do not know how the price of the product will be formed, but since the MSRP has been set at $299, considering the exchange rate in Korea, it is likely to be formed at around KRW 450,000.
Despite the lower performance than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, considering the current point in time when the price of a graphics card higher than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is formed in the early 500,000 won range, it is quite understandable when considering the price part rather than comparing the performance part It is also true. So if you look at the position with the previous generation Nvidia graphics cards
As it is more expensive than the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB and positioned at a lower price than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the price has become a position in a fairly strategic position that does not affect sales of other previous generations. So, in my opinion, it seems to be positioned at a more competitive price point than the top model of the GeForce RTX 40 series. Of course, if you look at the initial selling price of the old GeForce RTX 30 series, it is of course expensive, but considering the current market situation and exchange rate, there are definitely advantages to choose.
In particular, I wonder if the choice will be decided for those who have FHD resolution monitors, which are used a lot due to low power consumption. However, as can be seen in Nvidia’s previous data, rather than this performance, it may be that the resolution of the monitor has set up a wall that cannot be crossed.
▲ The GeForce RTX 40 series was the beginning of the first lineup that accurately divided the class of graphics cards by monitor resolution.
In a way, from Nvidia’s point of view, “performance and power consumption” are at the crossroads of such a choice, especially if there are no competitors.
Personally, the part that kept buying Nvidia graphics cards was that the new generation showed performance that exceeded the previous generation graphics card lineup, but now I think this part will be difficult to see in the future. To put it simply, 60 < Ti < 70 < Ti In this lineup, in the case of the previous generation, 60 skipped 2 steps beyond the 70 line, but now it is a story that came out with this lineup that exceeds 60 and does not exceed 60 Ti. Even if you don't have to talk about the down adjustment of hardware specifications.
Performance GeForce RTX 3060 8GB < GeForce RTX 4060 < GeForce RTX 3060 Ti , price in the early 400,000 won < mid 400,000 won < 500,000 won
In a market situation where the GeForce RTX 30 series and GeForce RTX 40 series are currently mixed, what will consumers choose when performance and price range are summarized? In particular, if you are trying to build an entry-level gaming system with a large sales volume of around 1,000,000 won, which graphics card will you choose? I think the answer to this part depends on the choice of those who are reading today’s article.
