Since many gamers are not gaming at 4K or 8K yet and often have to stay within a certain budget, they will surely skip buying the high-end RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 video cards and focus on the less potent — and cheaper — RTX 3070 and RTX 3060. For now, there is no rumor regarding the launch of the non-Ti 3060, but insiders familiar to the matter who spoke to VideoCardz confirmed that the RTX 3060 Ti is scheduled to arrive next month, soon after the RTX 3070.
The list of technical specs — yet to be confirmed by NVIDIA, of course — contains a GA104-200 GPU with 4,864 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory over a 256-bit bus clocked at 14 Gbps, which leads to a 448 GB/s bandwidth. The TDP of the reference design is expected to be 180 W, noticeably lower than the rumored 220 W of the RTX 3070.
In terms of performance, the RTX 3060 Ti could often match the RTX 2080 Ti and even beat the non-Ti 2080 clock for clock. Fortunately, it should also cost somewhere around US$400, since the price of the RTX 3070 reference design announced by NVIDIA is US$499.
These being said, we should get ready for next month's release of the RTX 3070. If everything goes as rumored/planned, the launch should take place on October 15. Once that happens, we should know more about the RTX 3060 Ti as well.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
