Shorter PCB, 220 Watt TDP, and 16-Pin 12VHPWR Power Connector for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
The Ada Lovelace family of high-end GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs from NVIDIA have already been released, but middle- and lower-end devices are also in the works to cater to the needs of the whole consumer market. Today, we may have knowledge about the design of the next GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card according to the well-known leaker kopite7kimi. The AD106-350-A1 chip that powers the GPU houses 4352 FP32 CUDA cores. There are 32 MB of L2 cache on the chip. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 18 Gbps memory should be plenty to support games at the 1440p resolution that this card is targeting.
The basic PG190 PCB design is allegedly quite compact, making it perfect for the ITX-sized designs that NVIDIA’s AIB partners may develop. The reference card, which has a TDP of 220 Watts, is interestingly powered by the notorious 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, which can deliver 600 Watts of power. Uncertainty surrounds this connector selection, however it may reflect NVIDIA’s efforts to standardize its use across all Ada Lovelace family stack devices. Although the card shouldn’t require the connector’s full capabilities, it sends a message that the business might only be employing this kind of connector for all of its next designs.
