When availability is no longer a feature, it’s the numbers that make the difference: this is essentially what emerges from the first field tests on the “new” NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
The first industry experts to get their hands on it paint a not entirely exciting picture. Specifically, it would be there to discuss branding management since the performance offered and the technology on board this video card remain of absolute value.
The doubts focus on the choice to call it RTX 3060, according to many easily misunderstood, in the light of a gap with the standard version which in some scenarios seems really important. There is talk of a difference that can even reach 17-18% compared to the original 12 GB cut, deriving both from a reduction in the amount of memory but also from the 128-bit bus and from the bandwidth, which passes 360 to 240GB/s.
Among the first to try it we also find Hardware Unboxedwhose point of view is summed up quite eloquently in the title of the video itself, which you can find in the player at the bottom. As well as for the launch of the RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X, it was a “silent” release, most likely created to strategically manage chips already produced, remembering that the real news should arrive in January during CES 2023, in which NVIDIA should continue the desktop lineup of the RTX 40 Series and also announce the Mobility variants of the same generation.
