ASUS today announced new versions of the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards that now feature GDDR6X memory for greater performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has been an excellent sweet spot between price and performance for the past generation of graphics cards, and it has now been improved. The GDDR6X memory further boosts the capabilities of the 3060 Ti and expands the options available to the discerning PC DIY builder. ASUS is also updating the GeForce RTX 3060 with a new model featuring 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM to add even more possibilities for upgrading and assembling.

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X features the same triple Axial Tech fan design, solid aluminium backplate, and 2.7-slot form factor as its predecessor, as well as support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and GPU Tweak III. Supplementing that rock-solid foundation is the introduction of GDDR6X ultra-high-speed and error-correcting VRAM, setting up the GPU to deliver more frames per second than the previous iteration. A factory-overclocked version is also available, tuned in-house to make sure users get the absolute best performance right out of the box.




Robust military-grade capacitors are soldered to the PCB using the ASUS Auto-Extreme manufacturing process, ensuring precise joints and adherence to rigorous specifications while avoiding the possibility for human error. In addition, the TUF Gaming cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial to verify they live up to their name.

For small-form-factor (SFF) enthusiasts and other builds that cannot accommodate a triple-fan card, the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB has also been upgraded with the same high-speed GDDR6X memory. As the name implies, the Dual is a two-fan design, keeping the overall card length much shorter for excellent compatibility with a wide range of cases. This versatility is further enhanced by its svelte two-slot thickness, meaning the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X can have ample access to fresh air in situations where thicker cards could be choked. This card is joined by a version of the GeForce RTX 3060 with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, available with the same celebrated Dual shroud design.

Barrier rings around the fan direct airflow straight to the heatsink, so the GPU stays cool under load. In lighter workloads, 0 dB technology turns the fans completely off for silent operation: they only spin up when the GPU temperature reaches 55° C. An aluminium backplate gives the card a distinctly premium feel, though it has a lower price than its high-end brethren.

In addition to the standard and overclocked variants of the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X, ASUS is also introducing an all-new white model of this venerable card. For the first time, builders with a white theme in mind have access to an affordable and compact card capable of incredible 1080p and 1440p gameplay. Like its larger TUF sibling, all models of the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X are built using Auto-Extreme technology, which cleanly solders components without human intervention for a high-quality final result designed to stand the test of time. For users in the market for a rock-solid but affordable high-performance graphics card, look no further. The GeForce RTX 3060 comes to market in a new White Dual version as well, with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and sharing the shroud and cooler design of its sibling.

I'm guessing for $500+, since they have to include the Asus tax.
The included source link is useless, it's just asus.com which redirects to my local Asus website which doesn't mention any of these.

3060Ti is pretty solid. It can play many things at 4k, if you tune your settings. Its $400 MSRP was okish, but it was never available anywhere near MSRP and that made a very questionable option.
If you buy a 3060(Ti) today, you're missing out on DLSS 3, which is probably what it needs the most, as a midrange card :(

which ensures that these will STILL be way overpriced too :(

I doubt that very much. The hot potato is with the one sitting on stock. If it was Nvidia, Asus would have little reason to buy hard to sell GPUs from them, come up with new SKUs and then try to move them. Most likely Asus is the one who ordered (in advance) GPUs they have a hard time selling now. And Asus being Asus, they don't sell without a premium, hence my initial question.

Could be a viable solution if priced right. I could use one of those to boost my 1440p gaming and video editing in Resolve.
Who am I trying to fool? It will be stupidly expensive so *YAWN*.

Interesting that it has a 2x8 Pin connector while my standard GDDR6 TuF 'LHR' V2 3060 Ti only has 1x8 Pin.
I doubt that the factory OC is that significant on these or they simply wanted to increase the power limit maybe. 'mine basically has the same power limit/draw as the Founder Edition'

Dlss 2 is just fine. Remember with each generation the lower you go down the stack the less performance you're getting. It probably makes sense to keep making a 3060 TI because it performs so well. It gets close to the 2080 Ti which is a great card.

If they didn't change the bus speed then it should be significantly faster with the faster vram. If they also boost clocks that would be cool too. If the price is right this should be a great card.

You still can't find the 3060ti for less than $400 new / $350 used. It is the most performance per dollar from Nvidia right now. This gpu market is rough.

Is the regular 3060 Ti bandwidth starved?

@bonehead123 is right - Nvidia and AIBs will do anything to get rid of Ampere except what would work best, which is cutting prices (as AMD has done on RDNA2).

I think it's the GDDR6X memory that needs more power / produces more heat compared to GDDR6. But I guess 1x8 pin should have been enough.

I'm guessing for $500+, since they have to include the Asus tax.
TUF-models are probably ~$100 over MSRP, but the Dual-models are usually pretty affordable.
Historically speaking, mid-life refreshes have offered pretty good value for GPUs. I would assume the MSRP of the refreshed RTX 3060/3060 Ti cards will follow a similar pattern, relatively speaking of course.

I think the RTX 3060 Ti model is the most interesting one, considering it offers significantly more memory bandwidth, +36% I believe, which matches RTX 3070 Ti in memory bandwidth, so it will be interesting to see how much performance is unleashed from this.

If you buy a 3060(Ti) today, you're missing out on DLSS 3, which is probably what it needs the most, as a midrange card :(
I disagree.
Any AA technique which doesn't rely on sampling more data per frame, like heuristics("AI"), samples from previous frames or various filters("sharpening", etc.), will ultimately "average out" the picture details and degrade picture quality. No matter how much fancy technology they throw at it, it will never be possible to generate data which doesn't exist. I really wish there were more research into "smarter" MSAA/CSAA instead, like variable sample rate where it's needed.
Most gamers will know better than to enable these BS AA techniques anyways, perhaps with the exception of RT games, but performance here is still mostly too low for enjoyment anyways.

Sounds moar like Asass & nGreedia collaborating on a way to use up/sell many of the remaining 3060 boards & chips that have been collecting dust during the scalper's pricing schemes of the past 2.5 years....

which ensures that these will STILL be way overpriced too :(
Nvidia doesn't earn more money from "scalpers".

it isn't that abnormal (for nvidia that is), the 1060 got a gddr5x version when it was at it's life's end, there was already a 2080ti out. Exactly like with this new 3060ti

Is it better to buy 3060ti with 8GB of VRAM or 3060 with 12GB of VRAM?

I disagree.
Any AA technique which doesn't rely on sampling more data per frame, like heuristics("AI"), samples from previous frames or various filters("sharpening", etc.), will ultimately "average out" the picture details and degrade picture quality. No matter how much fancy technology they throw at it, it will never be possible to generate data which doesn't exist. I really wish there were more research into "smarter" MSAA/CSAA instead, like variable sample rate where it's needed.
Most gamers will know better than to enable these BS AA techniques anyways, perhaps with the exception of RT games, but performance here is still mostly too low for enjoyment anyways.
I was referring to the frame generation that comes with DLSS3. It's a sizeable performance boost and a mid-range card is prime client for that. Sure, it's still an approximation, but if it lets you play at 4k, the pixel are so small, you won't notice much difference.

Also, DLSS is not an AA technique ;)
