News Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 8GB With 128-Bit Memory Bus Appears

[Admin]

Nvidia and its partners are now offering a GeForce RTX 3060 8GB, with GPU cores specs that are the same as the 12GB model but with only 240 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Neither Manli nor Nvidia have given an MSRP on the new RTX 3060 8GB model, though since it should land between the GeForce RTX 3050 8GB ($249) and GeForce RTX 3060 12GB ($329), it will likely be priced accordingly.

My bet? It won't be priced accordingly.

Jeez, another variant? Confuse people more, nvida.

Yup, now with GDDR6x versions, 8/12gb flavours, along with Non TI/TI/Titan.....uggghhhh!

There's just no need for this crap!

This kinda segmentation is really annoying. Same with Intel and their CPU's. Too many. AMD not as bad, but still can be -

Definitely a muddying of the waters so uninformed buyers buy something they didn't know they didn't want until its too late. This is the exact reason Nvidia got the scorn and ire it deserved over the two models of "4080," whatever that even means at this point. Now here we are with a "3060" that is going to be performing as more of a 3050 at much closer to 3060 prices...

How long before this is unlaunched?

Maybe Nvidia will release a New Stripped down version of the RIVA 128...

When I first saw this I assumed it was something to do with the other new 3060 with GDDR6X memory and using 21Gbps would largely (would need to be 22.5Gbps to be equal) keep the same bandwidth.
Sadly I was wrong.

And, fantastic. Is this going to just add to the confusion of the 6GB version that's based off the mobile 3060, but built into a desktop card?

Though, admittedly, I don't know if that version was ever something Nvidia officially put out there.

Is this what the 3050 should've been from the start? xD

This is a 3050 ti disguised as a 3060 to make people think they found an actual 3060 for a "deal."

Nvidia being Nvidia, as usual. I saw this tweet, by HUB, earlier today, and couldn't help but shake my head. Nvidia simply doesn't learn.
