Recent leaks suggest that NVIDIA is planning to release new variants of its midrange and entry-level GPUs. Specifically, the updates are expected to include new dies for the GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4060 graphics cards. The anticipated changes are as follows:

• GeForce RTX 4070: From AD104-251 to a new AD103-175-KX variant.
• GeForce RTX 4060 Ti: From AD106-351 to a new AD104-150-KX variant.
• GeForce RTX 4060: From AD107-400 to a new AD106-255 variant.

These new GPU versions have been referenced in the latest official NVIDIA drivers, indicating that their release could be imminent. However, according to sources, it is advisable not to expect these new models before April, and their launch might be conducted with minimal fanfare. It's also worth noting that these updated models might be limited to specific markets.

While the exact specifications of these updated GPUs remain unclear, the changes could potentially include improvements in CUDA, RT, and Tensor core counts. Despite this, the refresh is not anticipated to significantly alter the performance landscape. As competition continues, particularly with AMD's pricing strategy for its Radeon RX 7700 XT and 7600 series, NVIDIA might face pressure to adjust pricing or introduce more substantial updates for its more affordable GPU lineup.
