Budget gaming PC enthusiasts are still waiting for the Nvidia RTX 4060 desktop graphics card models, but it’s possible it’s a laptop GPU in disguise. New leaks suggest the entry-level option uses the smaller Ada Lovelace chip, rather than a beefier version with extended specs.
Generally, the best graphics card options for PC differ from their gaming laptop counterparts. For example, the recently released mobile RTX 4090 chip is just as fast as a desktop RTX 4070 Ti (slightly misleading naming convention , but technically impressive). However, it looks like the upcoming AD107 GPU will have the same impact for laptops and desktops, as the former apparently isn’t shrinking.
The final insider tip courtesy of kopite7kimi reveals potential RTX 4060 specs, including GPU specs. The GeForce card is said to use the AD107-400-A1 with 3072 CUDA cores, just like Nvidia’s top gaming laptops. Additionally, the graphics card apparently drives a 128-bit memory bus and 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, meaning it also shares specs with the rumored RTX 4060 Ti.
We’re still awaiting the official release date of the RTX 4060, and the same goes for the 4060 Ti and RTX 4070, so we’d recommend taking all spec rumors with the usual grain of salt for now, because Nvidia likes to change their plans. at the last second. However, if Team Green sticks to the above, PC enthusiasts might be hoping for a next-gen 60-series card with a sour taste in their mouths, especially if it costs more than the RTX 3060.
