By Christmas 2020 the first mid-range graphics card from the current GPU generation could appear. If AMD and Nvidia have so far mainly served the upper class beyond the 500 – Euro mark, Nvidia should currently present the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti plan. The rumor mill speaks of a market launch in early December.

Several sources recently wrote of a performance on 17. November 2020, according to the Chinese website Expreview Nvidia has the date in the meantime, however, changed to December 2nd 2020. In November, Nvidia would have predicted AMD’s launch of the Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 a day before that play a performance class higher.

17 Percent fewer shader cores than GeForce RTX 3060 An online validation through the readout tool GPU-Z contains the alleged specifications of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Like the GeForce RTX 3070 the ampere graphics chip GA 104, but with 4864 Shader cores trimmed more strongly than the more expensive sister (1024 Less shader cores; – 17 percent). The memory equipment should remain identical with 8 GB of GDDR6 RAM on 256 data lines. With 14 Gbit / s per pin this would result in a transfer rate of 448 GByte / s.

AMD has so far only announced “Big Navi” for the upper class within the RDNA-2 generation : The Navi – 17 – GPU comes in different expansion stages in the three models Radeon RX 6900 XT, Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 for use. For the middle class, the two RDNA-2 offshoots Navi 22 and Navi 23 appear, but only in the coming year – a Radeon RX 6700 (XT) probably appears there.
