NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ampere Launching Before the RTX 3060?
In possible anticipation of AMD's Radeon RX 6000 RDNA2 series, NVIDIA is reportedly fleshing out the upper performance segment of its GeForce RTX 30-series, with the RTX 3060 Ti reportedly launching before the RTX 3060. Early August, we heard reports of NVIDIA pushing its RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 series launches beyond September. It is turning out that way, as the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 launches dominate this month, with an RTX 3070 launching some time in October. There's still no official word on SKUs beyond the RTX 3070. VideoCardz has some idea. The RTX 3060 Ti - a possible RTX 2060 Super successor, in being launched before the RTX 3060.
Based on the same "GA104" silicon as the RTX 3070, the RTX 3060 Ti is configured with 4,864 CUDA cores, 38 RT cores, 152 Tensor cores, 152 TMUs, and possibly 64 ROPs. It comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit memory interface. Given that the RTX 3070 base specs cover 14 Gbps memory frequency, one can only expect the same (or lesser) memory frequency. With its typical board power expected to be between 180 W to 200 W, one can even expect custom-design cards with single 8-pin PCIe power connectors.

If priced right this might be a good gen.
Turing was so stupidly overpriced.
This is a sucker play, no doubt about it...
Regardless of specs, launch the higher priced card 1st, with no word about the lower priced card, and get as much cash as possible from those suckers that see the "ti" thingy and just have to jump on it just because they think it is moar better than the other, non-hyped card..
how many moar times do they need to do this before folks wise up ?????
On a more serious note, this is the way it is... it isn't about learning anything, really. The only bit of knowledge you need is if high-end or mid-range is coming out first. Something else always seems to come out. There is always something better around the corner. Buy when you are ready (for the most part).
Jensen at one point said he wants every gamer to have and experience RTX, something he contradicted himself with when he launched the GTX1650/1660 cards though. Maybe with this generation of RTX cards, it might become a reality, who knows, but the prices will definitely have to be priced according to your everyday gamers' means.
G.R.E.E.E.E.D....
And yes, I am walking....straight to my bank, to deposit moar of my money while I wait for all the marketing hype/sku conglomeration to settle down, then I will decide whether to buy a new GPU or not :)
My eyebrows are scorged, got burned while reading :D On topic: smexy card, excellent marketing team.
Stop that silly Ti crap pls.
Super is fine if it means its a more advanced process down the line...
