We’ve seen an avalanche of rumors about the next generation of Nvidia Ampere graphics cards, and it probably won’t stop soon. While most of these leaks revolved around the RTX 3080, this time we may have caught a glimpse of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, first details discovered
This particular leak comes from known Twitter users @kobite7kimi who claim that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 will use the GA106-300 GPU. This is how specific and accurate this leak is.
The segment with “-300” in the name of the GPU is the most important information. Looking back on Nvidia Turing’s product range, there were 3 GPUs built with the TU106 GPU found in the RTX 2060, including the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2060 Super. Since the RTX 2070 was the TU106-400 GPU and the RTX 2060 was the TU106-200, the RTX 3060 could be a scaled-down version of another GPU in the end.
Sources claim that the Nvidia Amp line will implement the RTX (ray tracing) functions in the entire product range, but this has not yet been confirmed, yes, the Amp gaming graphics cards have not even been officially announced.
However, since AMD RDNA 2 will be released later this year and will bring hardware-accelerated ray tracing to the red team’s GPUs, Nvidia may not have many options.
While we’d like to see RTX open up to everyone, we don’t believe that these capabilities can be expected to open up the entire product stack. We’ll have to wait and see what Nvidia does and how much competition it gets from AMD at the lower end. We will keep you informed.
