Earlier leaks advised that, along with these specs, the 4060 Ti will characteristic 4,352 CUDA cores, 18 Gbps VRAM velocity, 32 MB of L2 cache, a 128-bit reminiscence bus for 288 GB/s bandwidth, and a 160W TGP. Efficiency could also be just like the RTX 3070 Ti if its 8GB of VRAM do not maintain it again.
