According to Gigabyte’s Control Center software, the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards will have 8GB and 12GB of memory, respectively. While the memory type is not confirmed, rumors suggest that the 4070 will have GDDR6X memory while the 4060 will have regular GDDR6 memory. The latest version of Gigabyte‘s Control Center app, version 23.03.02.01, now supports the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Aero OC 12GB (GV-N4070AERO OC-12G) and the Gigabyte RTX 4060 Gaming OC 8GB (GV-N4060GAMING OC-8GD) products, revealing their memory capacities.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to have the same 192-bit 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, but with fewer active CUDA cores. It is unclear how well the GeForce RTX 4070 will perform as a graphics card, but it is expected to be priced lower than the 4070 Ti.
On the other hand, the 8GB of GDDR6 memory on the GeForce RTX 4060 is considered a downgrade from the GeForce RTX 3060, which carries 12GB of GDDR6 memory. This is due to the AD107 and AD106 graphics processors that power the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti products, which only have a 128-bit memory interface, making it only possible to use 8GB or 16GB of memory.
The price and release date for the GeForce RTX 4070 and 4060 are still uncertain. The GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to be released on April 13, 2023, with pricing still unknown. For the GeForce RTX 4060, it is unclear when it will be released and at what price. Given that the outgoing 3060 and 3060 Ti are priced at $329 and $399, respectively, the highest price most potential buyers would be willing to consider for the 4060 would be around $499.
