NVIDIA want to completely replace the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 with the GDDR6X variant which was introduced last month. I guess it makes sense to replace the GDDR6 variant as the GDDR6X variant is offered at the same price.
Taken from VideoCardz… “According to MyDrivers, NVIDIA and Add-in-Card partners (AICs) are to gradually replace and eventually cancel the GDDR6 version of the RTX 3060 Ti SKU. The plan it to replace existing RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6 stock with GDDR6X variants. Importantly, this GDDR6X upgrade is to offered at the same price as the original GDDR6 model, which is 2999 RMB (~$419).
Thus far there is no indication that NVIDIA would replace RTX 3060 12GB with 8GB model, and to be honest, it wouldn’t really make sense. However, the RTX 3060 Ti featuring faster memory, and as a result, 35% higher bandwidth, is not something consumers should ignore.
The release of new GeForce RTX 3060 series is a clear sign that NVIDIA has no plans to launch RTX 4060 series anytime soon. The upgraded models will cement the company’s presence in the mid-range GPU market now saturated with new Radeon RX 6750 XT and Intel Arc A7 GPUs as well.”
