A few weeks have passed since the official presentation of the new generation of NVIDIA, the long-awaited RTX 40 series, which, given its specifications and the technologies associated with them, promises to achieve performance milestones unimaginable until recently, to the extent that we see how it is the hardware that pushes the software, and not the other way around, as is usual. As we told you a few days ago, we are testing the GeForce RTX 4090 and the results are promising, but this should not let us forget about the still very current RTX 30 series.

And it’s because they already told us in the presentation that NVIDIA’s plans are going through coexistence in the RTX 30 and RTX 40 marketas this picture clearly showed

Of course, this makes us wonder about future additions to the RTX 40 series and whether we can expect something new in RTX 30, which didn’t seem very likely before this announcement, but with this new model designed by NVIDIA, it has become much more feasible. And the thing is, if at least in the short term RTX 40 is going to be a high-end proposition with prices that are far from the budget of the common mortal, the company should strengthen and update its propositions for the rest of the market.

And today at Wccft ​​we find ourselves with an interesting change in this regard. Remember the RTX 3060 Ti we tested back then? UK distributor has temporarily posted (already removed from their website) GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory. The change is actually in the type of memory, as the original model has 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory.

Reviewing its specifications, it seems that the only change between the current model and this new version would be the type of memory used, and more interestingly, it seems that the price of both models is the same, £369, which suggests that the new version with GDDR6X will not coexist with the one that mounts GDDR6, but replace it. So we can expect to see a similar movement in the future for other models of the RTX 30 series.

And what can we expect? Well, it’s possible that we have heren another element of pressure on manufacturers and distributors to liquidate their current stocks. And so, since changing the type of memory is an improvement that can affect performance or efficiency (maintaining performance would lead to lower consumption), and now that the lack of availability is just a bad memory of the past, it is likely , that quite a few users would prefer to wait to get the RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, if they don’t find the offer interesting enough to finally opt for the GDDR6 model.
