NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X to Replace Standard Model with GDDR6

Games may show its using tons of memory but it's caching a lot. It isn't actually being used and even with an 8gb card you would be hard pressed to notice much of a difference or at all in performance.

Unless you are downloading all the big titty mods for Skyrim. That requires a lot of vram.

More on this. I agree with this guy because the information given to me by rather concerned individuals that are worried about their jobs in Silicon Valley. The pricing of Ngreedia cards have to go up because of the Crypto trap they fell into.

And I do real their financial statements as I read AMD and INTEL and other companies in Silicon Valley.

Where the hell did you get a rx580 for 100 dollars?!?

Back in 2019 - dont remember exactly - wasn't for me but for a friend, there was an rx 570 for less than 100€ (granted, it's not dollars) and rx 580 for around 100 to 120 depending on the model.

The Ngreedia Greenie Meenies will buy them. Smart people won't and I hope the investors start shaking Leather God Lord Gonzo's tree for this failure of managing a corporation at this time period.

Whenever someone brand-bashes like this, they instantly disqualify themselves as an opinion worth considering.. Just throwing it out there.

opinions differ on that front, it depends on the argumentation

It's one thing not to like a company, and express grievances about it. It's another to be so maligned about it and use silly name calling.

IMHO they know they are going to be hurting in the low end of video cards in the near future.
IMHO this is very telling of what their marketing and product strategy and with that you are not going to see any FANTASTIC video cards coming from them. Just refreshes and expensive video cards.

Let me put it to you this way.... DOES THE 4090 @$2400 (S/H) does 8 times the performance in 1080p and 1440p of my 5700XT which I bought NEW for $300.00??? HELL NO! The majority of the world runs on 1080/1440p. And those are the facts.

The Ngreedia Greenie Meenies will buy them. Smart people won't and I hope the investors start shaking Leather God Lord Gonzo's tree for this failure of managing a corporation at this time period.

That's all that I see. Expensive Video cards that are way overpriced for what you get

I get what you mean, but these cards that you are comparing are really meant for different markets, audience.

For one, if you are gaming at 1080p, then there is 0 reasons to buy a flagship card like the RTX 4090. All reviews point to substantial CPU bottleneck even for 1440p. The RTX 4090 is really for hardware enthusiasts that's got deep pockets/ willing to spend that kind of money, or for people with specialized needs with the Tensor or CUDA cores. Most gamers are not likely to spend more than 700 to 800 bucks for a GPU. That is why the RTX 3080 and RX 6800 XT were selling like hot cakes because they are offering flagship level performance at a MSRP that is reasonable. But we all know what happened, where the cards became ultra inflated, and really a lot of them went into the hands of miners. Gamers buying I believe is actually very low.

This RTX 3060 Ti upgrade is pointless. The RTX 3060Ti is meant for 1080p, or at best 1440p. At these resolutions, the higher memory bandwidth is not going to help much, other than increasing power draw. It is interesting they kept the power requirements the same, which I don't believe is the case in reality. Without even referring to the power discrepancy between the RTX 3070 vs 3070 Ti, it is logical that GDDR6X uses quite a fair bit of power to get to their high frequency as compared to the slower GDDR6. All things else equal, it is not possible to maintain the same level of power draw.
