If you’ve been keeping up with 2023’s graphics card schedule, you’d know that an Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB review wave is on the cards. Well, at least it’s supposed to be, as the GPU is supposed to launch at some point in July. Rumors even specify that the embargo was supposedly lifted today, but RTX 4060 Ti 16GB benchmarks have yet to arrive.
As far as we know, the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB model isn’t canceled, and there’s reason to believe it’ll join the best graphics card race soon. Whether or not it’ll receive applause as it jaunts up the track is a different matter, as it costs $100 more than its 8GB sibling. It also packs the same GPU, CUDA core count, and clock speeds, meaning you’re effectively paying a premium for the extra VRAM.
Coming in at $499, the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is arguably a hard sell. Normally, we’d test whether the GPU offers bang for buck, but it looks like reviews aren’t going to be a thing. In a way, that sort of makes sense, as it should perform fairly similarly to the existing 8GB model, with the added benefit of more VRAM. That boon should come in handy when playing games at higher resolutions with glutinous high-resolution textures, but the extra memory would perhaps be better placed with the RTX 4070 Ti.
Where to buy the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
At the moment, Newegg has an MSI RTX 4080 Ventus model for $499, but also stock a bunch of custom cards with a higher price point. For whatever reason, there's an INNO3D card listed for $799, which we'd highly advise you to avoid at all costs. If you've got $400 to spare, we'd suggest taking a peek at the PNY card featured in our Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti review instead.
If you're not sold on picking up an RTX 4060 Ti altogether, check out our Nvidia RTX 4060 review, as the non-Ti card proves to be a great 1080p GPU with a DLSS punch.
