Nvidia has confirmed the RTX 4060 release date for tomorrow (29/06/2023) and launch time 6am pacific time, when everyone will be able to buy an RTX 4060 from respective retailers. Before hand we usually see the review embargo drop for the majority of models, so when can we read the reviews and further testing data? There is no official word on this yet, however, with previous launches we have seen reviews go live around 24 hours before. The expected review embargo is the final step for any would-be buyers, showcasing whether or not the RTX 4060 is worth buying. From Nvidia’s initial 4060 Ti and 4060 benchmark data, the new card looks poised to offer those that frequent in the mid-range something affordable. Unfortunately, many are questioning the generational increase in performance and it looks as though this GPU may be better suited to those building for the first time or upgrading very old systems.
What time will RTX 4060 reviews go live?
All we can do is base our prediction on the previous RTX 40XX-series launches. The RTX 4090, 4080, 4070, and 4060 Ti reviews all went live a day before the official release date. The 4060 is coming on June 29th with an official release time of 6am PT. Based on previous launches, we could see the reviews go live today at a similar time.
If we are correct this would mean you could see reviews in your region at the following times:
- 6AM Pacific Time (US)
- 9AM Eastern Time (US)
- 2PM BST (UK)
- 3PM CEST (Germany)
- 11PM AEST (Australia)
What is the community saying about the 4060 pre launch?
The general consensus is a mixed bag once again. It looks likely that the RTX 4060 and following 16GB SKU in July may meet a similar frosty reception. The main areas of concern is firstly the lack of a jump in performance for those on 30-series cards. The 8GB VRAM, among other specs just aren’t cutting it for many in the gaming community. The second is that many feel the initial data from Nvidia doesn’t really showcase any point in upgrading from the previous generation, unless you are deadest on increasing your ray tracing performance or want the DLSS upgrade.
