Yesterday we informed about the debut of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card, which would take place 17 November, the day before the market premiere of the AMD Radeon RX cards 6800 and Radeon RX 6800 XT. Information about the debut of the cheaper and weaker Ampere chip in November has been appearing for a long time, although NVIDIA itself, of course, has not officially disclosed anything. Meanwhile, sources closely related to the manufacturer, which VideoCardz cites, indicate that the premiere of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will take place even later, in December. What is the reason for the next delay? Most likely, it is about preparing a better premiere with slightly greater availability, compared to the higher-ranking GeForce RTX cards 3000.

According to the latest information, NVIDIA is going to unveil the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti card in early December. The demo would coincide with the in-store launch as long as there are no further availability issues.

GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

NVIDIA’s partners have already received the specification for 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 on the bus 256 – bitwise. 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 of 20, 3 TFLOPS.

At first it was said about the premiere of the GeForce RTX card 3060 Ti already 17 November. According to the latest reports, however, the debut was delayed until on December 2 and at the same time the card is also due to be available for sale. It is difficult to say what the reason for this silent delay is (after all, NVIDIA has not yet officially presented the card), but we can guess that the most serious problem is the further shortage of cards and the poor yield from Samsung’s 8 nm technological process. If the information about the delay is confirmed, it will also be consistent with the reports from China, where the acceptance of pre-release orders with the note that cards will be sent at the earliest in December.
