NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce RTX 4060 & RTX 4050 graphics cards have shown up within the EEC as they were listed by a Chinese graphics card maker.
NVIDIA Readies GeForce RTX 4060 & RTX 4050 For Summer Release, Show Up In EEC Listing
The two unreleased graphics cards were listed in an EEC filing by Shangke Group which currently owns graphics card manufacturers such as MaxSun and Soyo.
Within the EEC listing, one can find the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4050 mentioned along with the GeForce RTX 4070 (do note that no RTX 4070 Ti or any "Ti" card is mentioned in the listing. Now this listing doesn't mean anything but only points out that NVIDIA's partners are aware of the cards being launched at some point. We know that NVIDIA plans to launch its GeForce RTX 4070 as the next product and that would be followed by the RTX 4060 and RTX 4050 if the rumors are to be believed.

As for what to expect from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4050, the RTX 4060 Ti is expected to offer a big boost to efficiency with a 160W TGP but the overall performance may not be as good as the high-end parts. The card is said to be close to the GeForce RTX 3070/Ti in performance which is more or less going to be a deciding factor based on its price. So one can expect the GeForce RTX 4060 (Non-Ti) too be closer or slightly slower than an RTX 4060 at around a 130-150W TGP.
For the GeForce RTX 4050, this card is expected to feature the AD107 GPU core and would get a 128-bit bus interface but nothing is set in stone for now. One thing is for sure and that's that NVIDIA has to price these two cards, the GeForce RTX 4060 and the RTX 4050, right! Both of these cards will be positioned in the mainstream segment. The RTX 3050 launched at $249 US & the RTX 3060 launched at $329 US so NVIDIA will have to think twice about increasing the prices on these mainstream cards as that can affect their reception in the mass consumer market at launch.
