ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming OC smiles for the camera


We should expect ASUS to unleash the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming OC graphics card for over just over $400 on December 2.

NVIDIA and its AIB partners are preparing for the impending release of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, with the new custom ASUS RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming smiling for the camera. Check it out:

ASUS appears to be going with a triple-fan cooler on the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming, with a single 8-pin PCIe power connector required. You still have a chunky 2.5-slot card, so I would've liked to have seen a thinner dual-slot card with a single 8-pin connector, that would've been nice.

We should expect some higher clocks than NVIDIA's own GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition card, but expect the ROG STRIX variant to have even higher clocks. As for pricing, we should expect a little over $400 when it launches next month.

Looking pretty good.

My question is, of course, what is its hashrate on ETH, and F@H PPD.

The RX 5700XT is MSRP $400 too, and does 49MH/sec out of the box on ETH. F@H PPD is a little above 900K PPD. (GTX 1660ti is around 1-1.1Mil PPD in F@H.)

Let me guess. $400 for FE, which no one will be able to buy and $500 for AIB models. But the card looks good value if it were actually available to buy at $400.

This card will probably be close to a 2080 SUPER based on rumors and estimated performance and those still run around $800, so it's pretty clear that it's going to take a while to supply that kind of demand spike. No market cuts the price in half for the same value because it has to and the higher prices are just a reflection of the fact that you can't cleanly cut prices in half if you don't have near enough supply.

Another 8GB card, lulz. Meanwhile AMD will likely have have 12GB as a competitor.

I give it 3-6 months tops before nVidia starts "refreshing" their products with non-farcical VRAM amounts.
I somehow doubt they are gonna have any difficulty selling these. Vs AMD forget the 6700XT chances are it'll outperform a 6900XT in a number of key games that support DLSS+RT - minecraft, cyberpunk 2077, etc.

Okay, you got to be trolling at this point. Complaining about 8GB on a mid tier card? So, you want 12 or 16 GB, you think the ram is free? Why do you think the AIB are complaining they can't make money at reference price and have to raise price? Look at what's happening with the 6800 cards, you don't think AMD is passing the cost of the VRAM to the AIB and in turn to the consumers? There's already a thread complaining about 10GB for the 3080, which is a much more valid concern. Stop trolling.

Europe price is screwed up if those end up being true. US reputable retailers like newegg and bestbuy are selling 30 series card at regular price. I know, I got an AIB 3070 for $540 without combo from newegg a few weeks ago and I saw bestbuy with regular price when the cards come in stock. But who knows, since people are buying the expensive 6800s, maybe the AIBs will also increase NV cards by 20% instead of the typical 10%. That sucks if it happens.

Nah, let the "muh VRAM" people wait for a 12 GB Radeon. More GeForce for the rest.

NO... but there is a special room in hell for Miners.
Don't you think that's a bit over-stated? Miners drive the blockchain(s) forward (for most of them, using Proof-of-Work). Blockchains, can get us wonderful things, like "blockchain voting" (something that should happen soon, it would have eliminated most of the issues around the recent US national vote, and is already being used by several countries), as well as the new "distributed web", where web sites can exist in a fully-decentralized manner, and cannot be shut down, nor could, in theory, individual posts be censored. That's the type of technology that blockchains are propelling forward. You really are against those things?

Those are the people (miners included) that are really fighting for our freedom right now, not a bunch of geezers with guns, shouting about masks...

Falling out of gaming over the past 5 years and the fact my gtx1080 might be on its last legs a 3060ti might be a perfect fit for me. That is if like others have stated you can grab one around that $400USD price point.

Miners are pushing gamers out of PC gaming, and probably into console gaming. But then again, scalpers are pushing console gamers out of console gaming and into nothing because they are holding up supply chains.

Is there an authorized US retailer that’s taking pre-orders? How I wish that we/forum members have connection in purchasing these new video cards for upgrading our current system.

Would retailers even comment about a non-public product? Seems like the thing for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti launch is reveal AND reviews on Dec 1, and sales on Dec 2.

The beatings have been normalized. The 1060 6GB (essentially 1060 Ti) started at $250 for non-crap AIB models... Even the prices for the x50 tier have been steadily climbing from 750 to 950 to 1050 to 1650.
