Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB may be failing to convince AIBs

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB has at all times been a barely unusual proposition. Except for having double the VRAM capability, it’s bought precisely the identical specs as June’s RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, which itself didn’t precisely set the world on fireplace. Now, rumors are swirling that Nvidia’s add in board companions share this skepticism in direction of the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB.

In response to {Hardware} Luxx editor, Andreas Schilling, “only a few [add in board partners] are excited by selling the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB”.

However, as Schilling alludes to, this looks as if it’s principally to placate criticism, quite than courtroom substantial gross sales figures in itself. The dearth of enthusiasm from AIBs is prone to trigger additional issues for the 16GB model’s recognition, contemplating the pixel pusher gained’t ship with a Founders Version made by Nvidia.
