NVIDIA's latest embargo schedule for the GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB GPU has leaked out & it points out to a launch later this month.

NVIDIA's Most Affordable Ada GPU, The GeForce RTX 4060, Is Headed For Launch Later This Month

Yesterday, it was reported that NVIDIA would be pushing ahead with the launch of its GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. Now, MEGAsizeGPU has shared the full embargo plan which points out a 29th June launch day for the graphics card. The embargo document also points out that reviews of the card will be split into MSRP-Only and Non-MSRP variants on the 28th and 29th of June, respectively.

There's no reason mentioned as to why NVIDIA decided to launch the card earlier than its intended July release date but it is definitely good news for gamers who were waiting to buy an affordable & next-gen GPU based on the Ada architecture. Following is the full schedule for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB GPU:

Product Announcement: 18th MayShip To Channel: 12th JunePress Sampling / Seeding: 21st JuneAIC Reviews (MSRP-Only): 28th JuneAIC Reviews (Non-MSRP): 29th JuneOn-Sheld Retail Launch: 29th June

The documents do mention the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB graphics card which was also meant to launch in July alongside the GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB and that remains to be the case. It looks like that card won't be getting a reschedule so users who were waiting for the 16 GB variant would be waiting just a tad bit more.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Specifications

For the GeForce RTX 4060, NVIDIA is expected to utilize the AD107-400-A1 GPU, the fully enabled AD107 Ada die. Do note that the same configuration is used by the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The chip is expected to feature 3072 CUDA cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 17 Gbps memory speeds across a 128-bit bus interface. That gives the card 272 GB/s bandwidth which is effectively rated at 453 GB/s or 26% more than the RTX 3060. That's all thanks to the 24 MB of L2 cache.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 should end up with a 35% lower TGP than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 12 GB. The card is said to feature a 115W TGP but actual gaming power consumption should be around 110W with idle power rated at 7W and video playback power rated at 11W. The card will be available in various custom models at launch but there will be no Founders Edition variant for it.
