Two new RTX 3000 series GPUs have been spotted online according to the latest rumors. The alleged specifications for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ti have been reported by known leaker Kopite7kimi. According to the information, both RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ti will feature a new Ampere GPU, a GPU that has not yet been officially confirmed by NVIDIA.
According to the news, these two cards will be replacing the existing RTX 2060 and GTX 1660 Ti/SUPER series graphics cards. The RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ti both will feature the Ampere GA106 GPU which will be NVIDIA’s midrange offering for mainstream graphic cards.
Ah, the desktop cards based on GA106 will be called
RTX 3060(3840FP32)
and
RTX 3050 Ti(3584FP32).

According to the rumors, the GeForce RTX will feature the GA106 GPU having 3840 CUDA cores equal to 30 SM, while the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti will be featuring a 28 SM GA106 GPU, totaling to 3584 CUDA cores. There is no information about the bus interface but for the cards but the RTX 3060 will most likely feature a 192-bit bus interface on the RTX 3060 which suggests a 6 GB GDDR6 memory capacity.
For the RTX 3050 Ti, it may feature a 160-bit or 128-bit bus interface depending upon the amount of VRAM it receives. This would be the first time NVIDIA brings RTX technology to its x050 series. This would suggest that there will be no GTX series this time around, or at least for now.
According to the information, the RTX 3060 is to be expected beginning January 2021, while RTX 3050 Ti might arrive between January and February. NVIDIA also plans RTX 3050 non-Ti but its specifications are not yet confirmed. With the RTX 3060 Ti rumored to be releasing mid-November, it looks like a busy few months of releases from NVIDIA.
Are you looking forward to the new cheaper variants of the Nvidia RTX 3000 series or will you go for the much higher tier GPUs? Let us know in the comments section below.
