Which RTX 3060... (and do not just say 3070, that’s not the point)

[Gavras]

At present the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti comes with 8GB VRAM,

there are various rumours (including registered part numbers) for further 3060 cards, non Ti version but as the link below shows, with more memory.

Rumor has it that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti / RTX 3060 will debut one after another in early 2021

Following the previous rumors that NVIDIA plans to revive the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, more information now points out that

www.paudal.com

would you go for a RTX 3060 12gb or RTX 3060 TI 8GB

AND why would you, justify the reason 😊
(obviously if the price of the 3060 12gb gets too close to the 3070, then it’s a 3070)

current price of a RTX 3060 Ti starts at £369 https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3060-ti/

With RTX 3070 starting at £469 https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3070/

I've got a 3070, so will wait for a 4080 or 4070Ti...but I'll wait until they're actually available, and at RRP/MSRP or less.

Although did just miss out on a 3080FE on Scan for £649.

IMHO, at the 3060 level, you're purely looking at 1440p gaming, I doubt any render job would look at such a low tier card.

Just in the gaming sphere, I see no benefit from the extra VRAM. Unless I'm missing something and the extra requirements from Ray Tracing or the upcoming RTX IO SSD utilisation requires substantially more VRAM which would make sense now I think of it?

Well more fun to add to the 3000 mix lol.

Where does the RTX 3060 Ultra fit in.

Faster than the 3060 Ti and with 12gb GDDR 6 memory

although I have my doubts...

Pleased I have held off jumping in to the 3000 days and counting graphics card saga.

I really don't understand nVidia's reasoning for half these cards. Unless they're basically admitting that the initial VRAM quantities on the initial cards is in fact too little to make use of upcoming tech like NVIDIA IO and other new tech.

I’m just going to get a marker pen and write ‘ultra’ on the side of my 3070. Instant upgrade 👍

I think you should go all out and write something like “el numero uno” with red go faster stripes and see what you’d get for it on eBay.

I agree, it will take another 12 months to actually find out what the best price point is.

Also major software houses do work closely with the likes of NVidia and may have asked for more memory for RDR3 or update to MSFS 2021.

Given the shortage of 3070s, I'd still probably get double what I paid for it...

Even more if you raffle it, say £5 a ticket
