Lenovo product manager “estimates” that the RTX 4060 will be available in June next year, with the same performance as the 3070

There are many leakers who have released information about future NVIDIA graphics cards, but when it comes to receiving capabilities, Wolfstame, Lenovo’s product planning manager for gaming desktop PCs in China, believes he will be better placed. A few days ago, he posted on Weibo that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is estimated to be launched on June 18 next year, which is equivalent to RTX 3070 in terms of performance.

The alleged RTX 4060 will use the AD106 GPU core with part of the core cut, and it is possible that it will be reserved for the future launch of the 4060 Ti. According to Wolfstame’s Weibo estimate, the performance of RTX 4060 should be 20% higher than that of 3060, which is equivalent to the level of 3070, and the power consumption is lower than that of 3060, about 150-180W.

In terms of price, Wolfstame is estimated to be 10% more expensive than the 3060, which is about the level of the 3060 Ti. The RTX 3060 was priced at US$329 when it was released, or about HK$2,574. The official price of the 3060 Ti is US$399, approximately HK$3,121.

As for the key functions of the RTX 40, Wolfstame estimates that the 3060 will support DLSS 3 and NVENC will be improved, providing relatively inexpensive hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding capabilities.

In terms of release date, he estimates that it will be launched during the home shopping festival on June 18 next year. He believes that if the estimate is correct, there really is no need to wait for 4060: “Instead of spending six months waiting for 3070 at the price of 3060ti, why not buy a 3080 mining card to play now?” to think?
