The first reviews of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card based on the Ampere GA core 104. In a few weeks, more or less in mid-November, the manufacturer will present another chip in the form of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which will use the cut Ampere GA core 104. According to the information available so far, the official announcement of the card will take place around 16 November. Meanwhile, unexpectedly, in China, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards have already started pre-ordering. Chinese sites also warned that the first shipments of new GPUs will take place in December. This means that it will probably be at least a few weeks between the announcement of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and its actual debut in stores.

The Chinese made it possible to pre-order GeForce RTX 3060 Ti cards, although such a GPU has not yet been officially presented.

The announcement of a slightly weaker Ampere card is expected in the middle of next month, i.e. later compared to AMD Radeon RX cards 6000 (remind – 28 October). NVIDIA’s partners have already received the specification of the new GPU – GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will be based on the Ampere GA core 104-200 with 4864 CUDA cores and 8 GB of VRAM GDDR6 memory on the 256 – bit bus. Looking at the specifications, we think that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti should not differ too much from the more expensive GeForce RTX card 3070. According to more recent information, the base core clock will be 1410 MHz, while in GPU Boost mode it will increase to 1665 MHz. In turn, the effective clock speed of GDDR6 will be 14 000 MHz. The computing power of the card is 16, 2 TFLOPS. For comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 offers the power level 20, 3 TFLOPS.

The last information about the specification is the TGP factor, which should not exceed here 180 W. Some Chinese stores have started accepting pre-orders ( the photos of the cards above do not reflect the final designs) at prices from 2049 to 2999 yuan which translates into a cost in dollars from 305 to 446 dollars. In turn, the VideoCardz portal reports that the MSRP price of the upcoming card according to NVIDIA will not exceed 40 40
