Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti has not been announced yet, but if we move a little, we can see that its power requirements will be sharply reduced to 160 watts.
Nvidia RTX 40 Series graphics cards have always raised concerns because of their power consumption, but the RTX 4060 Ti has a slightly friendlier power consumption target than we initially thought. Kopite7Kimi Liquor has revised its specifications for the RTX 4060 Ti, which have historically been incredibly accurate. This revised power target could make the RTX 4060 Ti an attractive option for mid-tier users who want to get the best possible performance without consuming too much power.
The RTX 4090 and 4080 have fairly high power requirements, so it makes sense for Nvidia to reduce its power targets a bit, especially since it has been documented that the Ada Lovelace architecture generally works well, even when you reduce its target power consumption. . The RTX 4070 Ti has also received a similar reduction in target power consumption and still performs quite decently.
Could the RTX 4060Ti be less powerful?
The RTX 4060 Ti may be slightly less powerful at 160 watts than at 220 watts. However, it is likely that a higher TGP did not yield significantly higher performance. Therefore, Nvidia may have cut power targets to optimize GPU performance per watt instead.
Until then, we are still waiting for the official announcement of the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti, as they will be among the most convenient GPUs compared to the more expensive higher-end cards released right now.
Unfortunately, we are not aiming for price parity with the RTX 30 series, so if you are looking for a new GPU, you should start saving your pennies. If GPUs are too expensive, then we can just recommend choosing an RTX 30 Series card instead, as they are still incredibly efficient, even if you miss out on DLSS 3.
