Nvidia has really invented some kind of holy magic memory potion if it can make a 128-bit bus and very modest bandwidth sufficient for that.

I may not be thinking straight but it seems to me like it's going at about RX 6800 performance/efficiency levels, eh? Ofc, it does come with RTX & DLSS.

Lol remember when xx60 cards used to perform close to the xx80 series card of the previous gen? Like GTX 1060 vs 980
Venix
That was not the case the1060 matches the 970 not 980!

4060Ti will be around 160W, non-Ti should be less.

As expensive as a 3070 Ti also is my guess.... if not.. more.

Sounds ok to me if it has more than 8 GB VRAM. In that case it should be a major seller. 180 W sounds also realistic; it gets down to how hard they can and are willing to boost the clocks, so even 200 W is possible, but lower than 180 W is not likely. I certainly hope they clock it as high as possible to offer more value.
I wonder if the 128-bit memory bus is true, and in the case it is, may it really cause performance penalties compared to RTX 3070 Ti, since I guess Nvidia's data compression is truly efficient at this point. Perhaps someone who knows more about the Lovelace architecture could share his thoughts? Is it a bad idea to have such a narrow memory bus on Lovelace?

To top it off nVidia should put a couple of those pesky 20k RPM fans on that thing. Just so mainstream consumers can truly bite the dust.
Memory works up to a certain degree, but when do all the deliberate bottlenecks kick in? It has ~10% more memory bandwidth than the reference 2014 GTX970. Yeah, the 3.5+0.5 GB one. That was a $330 card, and with 256 bit.
BLEH!
How many 6800 GTs is that equivalent to? :P
Texter
18 times the bandwidth of a 2004 GPU. 19 years later. And even that 6800GT had a 256 bit memory bus. 😎

It truely has offensively poor specs - but honestly, that has been the case with all 4000 series gpu's, aside of the 4090.
The 4050 will likely end up with a 64 bit bus... lol.

They need a card to convince 1060 owners to upgrade, and that was a $200 card .The 4060 has been cut down pretty hard with the 128 bit memory bus. I can only think they've done this to get the price down low enough to appeal to more normal people while keeping the XX60 tag so it still sounds mid range.
0blivious
Being that powerful between generations is fairly normal and expected. Nothing remarkable. The scalper pricing makes it meh....
Stuff like the 8800GT... that was legendary value. Those days are long gone.
Venix
yes the paper specs of the ada cards are low bit bass etc ...that said the cards perform thought what is offensive is the price
as an 1060 owner ... i would love to see the 4060 at 200 euros ...but i know that is not going to happen ...EVER i would be surprised if i see the card at 350 to 400 ...... witch is very high for a 4060 card ... i am afraid nvidia will try to lunch the card at 500 usd msrp
DonMigs85
you're thinking of the 1060 3GB
DonMigs85
the 32MB L2 cache helps compensate for the reduced bus
Venix
huh ....you are right i run back on the benches to see if i was remembering wrong you where right the 1060 falls in line with the 980 a lot more often than the 970 https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_1060_review,13.html

Yes, GTX 1060 6GB was on par with the 980 and was easy to overclock to 2.1Ghz, mantaining low power consumption. I upgraded to it from the 960 and was double the performance.
Now, as I recall very well, the 960 was another 128-bit Bus card, with Nvidia stating that BUS had plenty bandwith for games... yeah right. And this 4060 it will end with 8Gb or 16GB of VRAM? This will be fun.
RealNC
Imagine it costing $500 with 8GB...
Kaarme
Oh, yes, this sounds like a Porsche designer saying that this metal part was replaced with a plastic part to bring the price of the sports car down.
The only real way to drop the graphics card price is to drop the price of the GPU chip, but Jensen needs to show the investors that he can keep the multi-billion profits growing, so it's not an option. So, instead, the price of the GPU chip is raised, and then starts the desperate hunt for any pennies that could be pinched elsewhere, including the memory.
