NVIDIA To Clear Out GA104 Inventory By Releasing Another RTX 3060

It’s no secret that NVIDIA is looking to clear out its inventory of the previous generation graphics cards to make room for the new 4000 series cards and they will go to any length to make that happen, apart from dropping the prices of course. Supposedly NVIDIA is now preparing another RTX 3060 graphics card by carving it out of the much larger GA104 silicon.

GA104 RTX 3060

This new RTX 3060 will again feature 12GB of VRAM but will instead use faster 19Gbps GDDR6X across a 192-bit memory bus yielding a total of 456 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This is an improvement over the original RTX 3060 which featured GDDR6 and a total bandwidth of 360GB/s as well as the RTX 3070 with 8GB GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus at 448GB/s of bandwidth.

The core configurations of this card are said to remain the same with 3,584 CUDA cores, 112 Tensor cores, 28 RT cores, 112 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. There is no information on the pricing of this card or when we’ll see an official announcement but if NVIDIA wants to clear this stock the price needs to be reasonable and will probably give us an idea of what price to expect from the 4060 if we just add £100 to this card’s price.
