The latest RTX 4060 Ti offering from NVIDIA aims to capture the mid-range market with increased memory capacity and competitive pricing.
The highly anticipated release of the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB memory is set to take place on July 18th
2, marking the availability of this mid-range GPU for global distribution and orders. Building upon the lukewarm reception of its predecessor, the upgraded model aims to address previous concerns while introducing competitive pricing. However, the absence of competition from AMD’s RDNA3 family and Intel’s Alchemist+ GPUs solidifies NVIDIA’s stronghold in the market.
Previous iterations of the RTX 4060 Ti featured 8GB memory, which failed to impress gamers primarily due to its steep price tag of RM1862.73. In response, NVIDIA has confirmed that the updated model will retail for RM2329.58, doubling the memory capacity to enhance performance and offer better value for money. It remains unclear whether NVIDIA intends to make any further price adjustments prior to the official launch.
Unlike the RTX 4060 non-Ti variant, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB will exclusively be available through add-in board (AIB) partners, meaning there will be no Founders Edition directly from NVIDIA. This decision showcases NVIDIA’s focus on collaboration with its partners to deliver the best gaming experience possible.
Despite limited competition and global availability, initial sales and price adjustments raise questions about the RTX 4060 Ti’s success.
As the release date approaches, enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate the availability of the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. However, the lack of updates from AMD regarding their mid-range offerings has left NVIDIA unrivaled in this segment. Leaked roadmaps have also failed to shed light on the arrival of Intel’s Alchemist+ GPUs, further cementing NVIDIA’s dominance in the market.
The global sale embargo will lift simultaneously for all countries, with the United States gaining access to the GPUs in the early morning, Europe in the afternoon, and the Asian community in the late hours. In Japan, some stores traditionally open for important product launches, but this practice is not universal across all retail chains. Surprisingly, for the original RTX 4060 Ti launch, only two stores opened in the popular shopping district of Akihabara, Tokyo, with just one person waiting to purchase the graphics card.
Japanese GPU enthusiasts are expected to pay a minimum of 69,800 YEN (RM2334.25) due to higher sales taxes. However, it is too early to determine whether the RTX 4060 Ti launch can be deemed a global success. Compounding NVIDIA’s challenges, retail stores such as Mindfactory in Germany have already implemented price cuts just hours after the card’s release, potentially impacting sales and customer perception.

The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB aims to address previous shortcomings and capture the mid-range gaming market. With limited competition from AMD’s RDNA3 family and Intel’s Alchemist+ GPUs, NVIDIA maintains a strong position. However, early sales and price adjustments indicate a need for NVIDIA to closely monitor market dynamics and consumer demand to ensure the success of its latest GPU offering.
