NVIDIA will repurpose GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs for notebooks

NVIDIA intends to redirect its GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs to the notebook market, halting the supply of desktop cards to its commercial partners for an indefinite period of time.

The decision took place this October, with the manufacturer sending its entire stock of AD106 chips for mobile devices – cutting off, even temporarily, the access of others to models for the desktop variant.

This move by NVIDIA to bring more GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs to notebooks aims to boost its sales at the November 11th festival, which will be held in China and has great popular appeal – like our Black Friday, for example.

It is worth pointing out that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU is one of NVIDIA’s most popular “mid-range” desktop graphics cards currently, featuring 4,352 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory bus. With it, many games reach 1440p and it remains in fourth place in the Steam hardware ranking – with 3.66% of the public.

Both the desktop and notebook versions of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti use the same AD106 chip, and there is no different version for each.

This indicates that there will also be impacts on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile iGPUs, which use the same chip and may be out of stock – as well as the desktop version of the RTX 4060 Ti.

This wasn’t the only impact seen with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPUs, as last week rumors suggested that it would halt supply of the chip for a period of two weeks – due to managing its inventory. Now with the Chinese festival on November 11th, it may not be available for at least a month.

It is worth remembering that recently the manufacturer has been changing its strategy and readjusting its video cards, to better serve supply and sales. An example of this are the problems seen in GDDR6X memories, with the corporation now authorizing the production of GeForce RTX 4070 with GDDR6 memory.
