Information about Nvidia’s new graphics cards that will appeal to the middle-upper class continues to come. According to the latest leak, the Nvidia RTX 4060 will be far ahead of its previous models in power consumption. There are also some claims about the release date.
Nvidia RTX 4060, coming to burn electricity bills
One of Nvidia’s most anticipated graphics cards, RTX 4060, leaked from Twitter by a reliable user named Kopite7kimi. According to Kopite7kimi’s statement, the RTX 4060 will need even more power than the RTX 3070, which is offered with a 220W TDP.
If we accept the claim on Twitter as correct, it is necessary to disregard the minimum 220W power consumption for the RTX 4060, which will appeal to the middle-upper segment. Let’s not ignore that the RTX 2060 needs 160W and the RTX 3060 needs 170W.
In fact, Nvidia has gradually increased the minimum amount of power required in the GeForce xx70 and xx60 series, so it is possible to say that the leak seems correct. But whether the increased power requirement makes sense for graphics card performance is a matter of debate.
The power consumption for GeForce RTX and GTX series models introduced to date are as follows:
- GeForce RTX 4060: 220W+
- GeForce RTX 3060: 170W
- GeForce RTX 2060: 160W
- GeForce GTX 1060: 120W
- GeForce GTX 960: 120W
- GeForce GTX 760: 170W
Nvidia RTX 4060 release date could be January 2023
There have been several leaks regarding the Nvidia RTX 4060 release date so far, all pointing to the first quarter of 2023. Recent reports have targeted the CES event, which will be held in January 2023, with a more precise date.
