NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti – The third mid-range graphics card version is coming, this time with GA103 core

Although there are not many graphics cards in stores, and the individual models available have very high prices, the range of AMD and NVIDIA in the current generation is quite extensive. In theory, there are units of the low, medium and high performance category to choose from. A moment ago, the cheapest and simplest GeForce RTX 3050 and Radeon RX 6500 XT chipsets, aimed at fans of Full HD gaming, were announced. However, it appears that the Greens are also planning to release the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for the third time. Regarding the available graphics cards (theoretically), we will deal with a completely different and new core. The question is how will this affect performance and temperatures?

Soon the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti may be better available in stores. There is no need to expect miracles, but it will no longer be a ghostly product.

VideoCardz has tracked the “new” graphics card ID in NVIDIA Studio drivers, version 511.09, published January 4, 2022. We’re talking about the model… GeForce RTX 3060 Ti unit from the end of 2020! Moreover, it has already been updated with the LHR variant, i.e. with worse performance in cryptocurrency mining. Despite this, the availability of this model in stores is very, very low so far. Some of Green’s partners say firsthand that they have not received shipments of this SKU for several months. a reason? Using an NVIDIA GA104 (-200) core, the same GPU used in the GeForce RTX 3070 (GA104-300). It is clear that NVIDIA preferred to focus on the higher-rated graphics card, which certainly brings more profits.

However, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti may be better available in stores soon. Of course, there is no need to expect miracles, but it will not be a ghostly product anymore. The new variant will have Samsung’s 8nm NVIDIA GA103-200 core, so it won’t be based on a production GeForce RTX 3070. The system specs should remain unchanged — at least when it comes to SP, TMU, ROP and Tensor modules; Clocks and VRAM. The question is what would the power consumption, temperatures and potential overclocking look like?
