MSI's booth at Computex 2023 in Taipai showcased an interesting release for the DIY PC building community: a non-TI RTX 4060 Ventus graphics card. This marks the lowest-cost option for consumers to get features exclusive to the 40-series of NVIDIA cards, such as DLSS 3.0, generative AI features, and more.
The company did not confirm the specifications or pricing for the RTX 4060 Ventus, but it did show that the card is equipped with 8GB of VRAM, is overclocked out of the box, features a reinforced backplate to prevent sag, and features high-powered, low-volume cooling fans for near-silent operation. More details for the card will become available as NVIDIA and MSI host full reveal events for the 4060 series.
