Absent of Official Announcement, NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Cards Up for Preorder in China
Chinese marketplace Taobao has a number of retailers listing NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti graphics card for pre-order - a graphics card that hasn't officially been confirmed by NVIDIA. The Taobao listings fall within the 2049 to 2999 Yuans (305 to 446 USD) range; however, expectations are that NVIDIA's MSRP for the card won't be above $400. That retailers are already listing the card should all but confirm its existence, and marks an interesting way for NVIDIA to operate, introducing the Ti model before the actual RTX 3060 graphics card.
Current information places the RTX 3060 Ti as using the same 392 mm², 17.4 B transistor GA104 chip as the RTX 3070, albeit under the GA104-200 nomenclature; the chip is expected to leverage 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 Tensor Cores, and 38 RT Cores (the RTX 3070 features 5888, 184, and 46 of these respectively). Base clock is apparently set at 1410 MHz with up to 1665 MHz Boost, and should feature the same 8 GB GDDR6, 14 Gbps memory subsystem as the RTX 3070. The RTX 3060 Ti is expected to launch come mid-November, and perhaps we'll hear more about it when NVIDIA officially introduces the RTX 3070 graphics card.

And being able to do it on a few select titles (which is currently the only titles) already more than proves that 3090 IS an 8K 60fps gaming GPU when only one was needed for 3090 to be able to claim that it can do 8K@60fps.
Don't expect it to be able to claim that on ALL games though because it logically can't. The other games would need to have native support for 8K & not all game devs will do that on their games right now especially with older titles. Without native support, it'll just be upscaling from 4K or lower which would make your demand for all games to be able to do 8K@60fps be pointless. And upscaling to 8K@60fps is not the claim here.
We don't need to. Your silly nonsense is there for all to see. Just an FYI, Doom is a GPU-centric game. MANY other games that are CPU-centric will run better. But some will run worse. Shouldn't be by much though. Nope, couldn't care less.
Now, back on topic: There is a rumor that there will be an 9GB version of the 3060TI. If true, THAT card will be a sweet-spot card for budget minded gamers this gen of cards, even if AMD has some Radeon sweetness up it's sleeve, which it seems to..
How come there is already talks of 3060 Ti when the 3060 itself hasn't even rear it's head?
