The RTX 3060 Ti is reportedly 8GB....

If this is true, then AMD has really caught them by surprise. I'm glad to see more Vram in this day and age, but let's face it, more Vram on a 3060 than on the 3080 is kind of a sh*tshow.

Certainly true for this Nvidia generation, it is just a awful position right now, i wish they would go back to tried and true methods, get 3 or 4 cards out, reasonably priced for the performance and make them as good as they can be without so many confusing numbers and models and different memory layouts all over the place combined with rumors and speculation.


Knowing nvidia's history, its entirely possible for them to just screw over the previous series of cards and their owners, i've always liked nvidia cards and if they can give me a good offering for a decent price i would buy from them again but all this stuff is adding a lot of uncertainty and makes me think, what if im gonna get sidelined by new stuff that has more memory for the same price range in a couple of months.


If AMD does well here with the 6000 series cards then this might change stuff up and that would be most welcome!

Yea, good comment.

It's like Nvidia had no definitive schedule for Ampere. All these different SKUs and VRAM rumours are not painting a solid picture of them. Maybe that's not all their doing, but it's definitely clear to me that Ampere's release has been mismanaged.

And then Turing was so grossly overpriced. They acknowledge themselves that consumers were not happy with the RTX 2000 series. Again, series mismanagement.

It doesn't paint Nvidia as the trusted GPU manufacturer any more. Maxwell and Pascal put them on a very high pedestal that they have not been able to live up to since.
