There are increasing signs of this The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti still has a long way to go. NVIDIA has already made it clear to us with the RTX 40 presentation that its plan is for both generations to coexist on the market for some time. And that’s something we’ve already been able to imagine, as there still seems to be a lot of stock of the RTX 30 series waiting to leave the warehouses of both manufacturers and distributors, stock that may drop somewhat in price, but at least for now it doesn’t seem like it should be covered by the cost of demolition, as it would mean significant economic losses.

Even less, of course, if we consider the price of the debut of the RTX 40 series with the RTX 4090 over 2,000 euros and the RTX 4080 16GB (remember that the launch of the RTX 4080 12GB has been canceled) with a starting price of 1,469 euros, which we will soon see rise for the first models , which will reach the market. Although the RTX 4060 and RTX 4050 (which we recently saw a box) will arrive in the future, with more affordable prices, At this point, for many users, the most balanced option will be to stay with the previous generation (If you’re hesitating whether to buy the RTX 30/RTX 40 now or wait, here are a few reasons to each help you decide.)

Now, just because the RTX 30 is the previous generation, that doesn’t mean improvements can’t be made in their design. On the contrary, and even more so now that we know they will still be on the market, both NVIDIA and manufacturers can make changes to both the reference design in the case of the former and what the latter make of it. And in this regard, we already told you a few weeks ago that the distributor accidentally released the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition for a short time, with the peculiarity that it used GDDR6X memory instead of GDDR6. common to all models presented so far. Has NVIDIA updated the reference design of this card?

Well, it seems increasingly likely that this is the case, as we can read on Videocardz, ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming OC with 8GB GDDR6X RAM appeared in 3DMarc results. The rest of the components including the GPU as seen in these results are similar. Now we are talking about an improvement with a very direct effect on its performance.

And it is according to these results that this GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory it will be 7% to 10% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 memoryThe memory speed has been increased to 19 Gb/s, allowing for a total bandwidth increase of up to 608 GB/s, while the current model offers a bandwidth of up to 448 GB/s. However, it should be noted that performance differences can vary between synthetic tests like 3DMark and games, so we’ll be able to make a more accurate assessment when the results start coming in.

As for its launch, it seems that it was originally planned for the end of October, but the cancellation of the launch of the RTX 4080 12GB and the subsequent reorganization of NVIDIA’s calendar, could delay it until early November. Anyway, it looks like it will be a “quiet” launch that will be announced with a press release at most, rather than a presentation or more elaborate events.
