MSI Registers Eight Custom Models for GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with the EEC

MSI has registered as many as eight custom models based on the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards with the EEC. Like always, a product registration with this legal body doesn't automatically mean that all models do enter the market - sometimes these are registered in bulk by companies with models that they are planning on releasing and models that they think they might want to release at one point in time, just so that they only enter the paperwork once. However, these entries by MSI are interesting, particularly, because they mention a new MSI model that's likely reserved for below enthusiast-level graphics cards: there are two Twin Fan models (one OC, one absent of it).

All in all, these are the eight models that MSI registered: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X Trio; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming Trio; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X OC; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2X OC; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2X; GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Twin Fan OC; and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Twin Fan. 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). This makes out a 21% difference in number of execution units, which certainly won't make out to a full 21% performance difference. The card is expected to launch on December 2nd.

They want to have enough cards so they can scalp them on ebay !! Had a bad experience with Msi KT3 ultra 2 board back int the Athlon Days then had a Pentium 4 Northwood board die on me ! Both times there CS was horrible, I vowed from them to never touch them again . Fast forward 20 years later still don't own any of there products except a monitor and my boycott continues !! Won't tough a single card !

ixiHere starts from 850, but pretty fast goes to 1000. 3080 starts from 1200 and goes up to 1600, hahaha. 3090 goes for 3000... prices are...

Looks like I will not buy 3070 or 3080 because of high prices. Same thing will happen with amd...

I guess will need to survive 1 or 2 years without pc.
3070 starts from $1367 here. $1149 + VAT. Anything cheaper is not in stock. And 3080s and 3090s are not in stock at all.

KeemzayHahahaha in south africa we have plenty of stock available, but due to our tax rates and import duties we get ebay level prices
No, that isn't the reason why they are that highly-priced here, if you look at the previous generations, those prices are more or less at the MSRP, they too are around the $400-$500 mark. This is simply greed, that is what is going on here. It's as you say, there is a lot of stock but people like me won't be done in because they are greedy, I am not paying $1000 for a $500 card, they can all go screw themselves. If they don't lower it, I will import it myself, it will come near enough to the MSRP for me.

I have been looking at their web pages for weeks now, hoping saner minds will prevail, but apparently not. They even have to gall to ask $550 for a $300 CPU (Ryzen 5600X)
