NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Will Have 512 More Cores Than The RTX 2080 Ti

Videocardz has confirmed from their own sources that the RTX 3060 Ti will exist launching before long later on the RTX 3070. It volition be the first budget entry from NVIDIA and will feature a new GA106 GPU. Co-ordinate to WhyCry, there is currently no word for the non-Ti version of the 3060 and the Ti variant will really come first. The card is expected to feature a core count greater than RTX 2080 Ti (which should translate to greater than 2080 Ti performance likewise assuming the clocks are on par).

NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti should match the RTX 2080 Ti in performance and will launch later on the RTX 3070

Continue in mind that the reason NVIDIA's RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 cards are not scaling linearly in operation is due to bottlenecking by game engines and binaries that are not designed to handle this much amount of cores. We know that the hardware and commuter stack scales linearly considering of the benchmark operation of these cards in software like vRAY and Octane - which are designed to handle a huge amount of graphics power. This means that equally you scale downward cores, performance volition not calibration downwards linearly. In fact, I fully expect the RTX 3060 Ti to beat the RTX 2080 clock for clock! Assuming slightly less clocks than the RTX 2080 Ti, information technology should easily trade blows with the former flagship.

Hither is the total RTX lineup as presented by rumors (courtesy of Videocardz):

NVIDIA GeForce RTX thirty Series (Full Rumored Lineup)
	GPU	Board # (Atomic number 26/Reference)	CUDA Cores	vRAM	Launch
RTX 3090	8nm GA102-300	PG136/132 SKU thirty	10496	24GB G6X	September 24th
RTX 3080 20GB	8nm GA102-200	PG133/132 SKU 20	8704	20GB G6X	After Big Navi
RTX 3080 10GB	8nm GA102-200	PG133/132 SKU 10	8704	10GB G6X	September 17th
RTX 3070 Ti	8nm GA104-400	PG142/141 SKU 0	6144	16GB G6	After Big Navi
RTX 3070	8nm GA104-300	PG142/141 SKU 10	5888	8GB G6	Oct 15th
RTX 3060 Ti	8nm GA104-200	PG190 SKU 10	4864	8GB G6	Late October
RTX 3060	TBCnm GA106	TBC	TBC	TBC	No date

The RTX 3060 series of cards has been in the pipeline for a very long time and Videocardz has finally received confirmation of the same.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will characteristic GA104-200 GPU with 4864 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 Gbps. The autobus width will be 256-bits for a full bandwidth of 448 GB/due south of bandwidth. Since the board will crave less ability, the TBP should be effectually 200W with the reference design clocking in at around 180W. This is a 5W increase over the RTX 2070 at 175W and in line with how we expect the Samsung node to fair in terms of power efficiency when compared to TSMC'due south nodes.

AMD is going to launch their Navi 22 series on Oct 28 and that could exist one reason why NVIDIA has decided to launch the Ti based variant first. With 3080 and 3090 cards still out of stock, gamers are clearly hungry to get their hands on a adjacent-generation GPU. Oh and if you are wondering with what is happening over at NVIDIA then I take some juicy details for you.

Meet, yields for the initial few batches of the Samsung 8nm node are lower than expected and expensive. The company expects the yields (and therefore prices for wafers) to significantly ameliorate in the coming months. To protect its shareholders, the company has been cautious about its orders of the first few batches and has placed significantly higher book orders for afterward batches. This trouble was further exacerbated past bots scraping up the entire volume from the beginning. We look the bulk orders to starting time hitting before the vacation season (assuming, in one case over again, that miners don't gobble it all up of course).

NVIDIA volition exist launching the RTX 3080 xx GB to go against big Navi

The RTX 3080 10GB is an amazing card but it has one major caveat: it only has 10GB of vRAM. With titles like MSFS 2020 already out and requiring at least 16GB of vRAM to run comfortably, the low amount of memory on the 3080 volition clogging it in future titles. This is why, even without whatsoever confirmation, nosotros were sure that the company would release a 20 GB variant as well. This seems to have been more or less indirectly confirmed by NVIDIA in their recently released Ampere whitepaper.

An RTX 3080 with 20GB of vRAM would exist the perfect graphics carte du jour for the side by side generation of titles. Combined with RTX IO it would let asset streaming of huge quantities of information and 20 GB of RAM would be sufficient for fifty-fifty demanding killer titles like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. While we have no concrete engagement on when the bill of fare will be launching/available, nosotros practise know this will come in response to AMD's 16GB big navi GPU which is scheduled to exist released in late October. This means NVIDIA should exist announcing the 3080 20GB card within a few weeks of October 28.

We would heavily encourage any prospective buyers to wait for the 20GB variant because unless NVIDIA prices that in a TITAN fashion (which is unlikely considering this is their response to AMD's 6900XT) it will offer much higher value for coin and will besides represent a bill of fare that will not be bottlenecked by any future title - no matter how demanding information technology might exist.
