Nvidia and companions are purportedly concocting at the very least three extra GeForce RTX 30-series graphics playing cards, in keeping with Twitter leakster Zed Wang, aka MEGAsizedGPU (opens in new tab). Within the pipeline, in keeping with this newest inexperienced crew rumor, are an RTX 3060 8GB, an RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X, and an RTX 3070 Ti primarily based on the GA102 GPU. Nevertheless, we predict including these playing cards shortly would sign that there are nonetheless a number of months to attend for mid-range GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) playing cards to hit the market.
If true, introducing a brand new GeForce RTX 3060 with 8GB of RAM may make the most important splash, because the X060 is commonly the preferred SKU of any technology. After all, this new mannequin could have much less VRAM than the unique (12GB reduce to 8GB), however there is no such thing as a gentle shone on some other spec modifications. Within the worst-case situation, Nvidia may reduce the bus from 192-bit to 128-bit for 8GB, lowering each reminiscence quota and bandwidth. With out rebalancing in another approach (CUDA cores, clocks, reminiscence speeds), it should merely be inferior to the at the moment marketed RTX 3060 and be a change that may draw heavy fireplace from fanatics.
