ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming Graphics Card Upgraded With GDDR6X Memory
We have known for a while that NVIDIA was preparing at least three new GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards to quickly move out their Ampere GPU inventories. These included the RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, and RTX 3070 Ti. NVIDIA even listed one model on their store a few weeks back but now Videocardz has posted the first pictures of a custom model from ASUS that confirm the new and upgraded model. The graphics card is the ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming OC which comes with the same core configuration but has been upgraded to 8 GB of GDDR6X memory whereas the current model uses the standard GDDR6 memory standard. The memory speeds have been increased to 19 Gbps. This will allow a boost in the overall bandwidth by up to 608 GB/s whereas the current model offers up to 448 GB/s of bandwidth. Leaked benchmarks by Videocardz also show that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X variant is around 7-10% faster in Synthetic benchmarks such as 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike. How this will affect gaming performance remains to be seen but a nominal 5-10% gain is to be expected. The graphics card should also retain the same power despite the upgrade to the GDDR6X memory. Earlier reports have shown the pricing for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X graphics card to be the same as the GDDR6 variant so NVIDIA is likely to replace the production of their older card with the new and improved variant. There’s still no word on the launch but we can expect a silent entry of these models by the end of October.
