Nvidia 3060 8 GB scam
Unbelievable. As if it wasn't bad enough that they tried to pull this BS recently with the 4080 12 GB, now they're trying the same BS with the 3060. Kinda makes you wonder what crap they'll try to pull with the 4060. I still remember when the 970 fiasco resulted in a class action lawsuit. I guess they figure mainstream consumers who buy 3060s wouldn't notice the difference as well as enthusiasts who buy 80xx series cards. This is a glorified 3050 Ti, nothing more. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-with-8gb-memory-has-been-tested-17-performance-difference-vs-12gb-model

30-40% "weaker" than a 4090 would still be a very formidable GPU compared to the 30 series.
Performance alone a product does not make. If I'm remembering right, nVidia's own performance numbers (well, the whole four charts of them) had it losing to the RTX 3090 (or Ti) in one of them, and even to the RTX 3080 (again, maybe Ti) in another. So in half of them it looked woefully disappointing. I wouldn't call that too formidable to be honest. It was more "slightly plus, sometimes minus" performance at... around the same cost the upper end of the RTX 30 series would go for. I guess new generations aren't supposed to represent big improvements, nor any at all, anymore for nVidia?

The other RTX 4080 had better performance but actually is a regression in price for performance.

Keep in mind the x80 was traditionally VERY close (single digit difference) to the top in performance before this generation. To be missing a little over around one third of the performance (using the 30% to 40% number being mentioned here, if true) would be a BIG reduction.

I find it weird that nV boys just don't seem to recognize the paradigm shift in pricing of their product line with the RTX 4000 series. Or, that a performance downgrade of at least 25% or more means that that card fits in a completely different, and lower tier, in terms of product line. They ceaselessly defend their preferred or fav company regardless.

That RTX 3060 8GB should really be an RTX 3050 Ti (the space is open, there's no desktop version of the RTX 3050 Ti, only laptop). That it has the same core as the regular 12GB RTX 3060 is a plus, but the memory bus width reduction of 33.3% really cripples its performance. That this change came under the radar, no big announcement like they'd tried with the RTX 4080 12GB Fake Edition, the backlash they got from that stunt had taught them a valuable lesson. Hence, the RTX 4070 Ti was created, and nVidia quietly launch the RTX 3060 8GB.

The typical buyers, and not tech savvy at that, may not even know there's a difference, the only difference in the box is a smaller print of "12GB' or "8GB". They both carry the "RTX 3060" nomenclature, and are about the same price. A typical buyer may not even be aware he or she is buying which version. It all depends on which version is being pushed by the staff of a store. Sure, nV fans can argue that it's the fault of the store then, but the fault lies originally with nGreedia for being duplicitous by creating the cut-down 8GB card with the same name as the regular version.

What s so weird ? Less money less performance but budget friendly . 8GB VRAM is not bad for 1080p .
only 2gb more then my 1060 6gb i think ill keep the 1060 til it breaks

Btw, is there a reason why Intel's ARC cards are still not as popular as AMD and Nvidia? I mean, apart from the obvious fact that they're new to the GPU game, I've also read that their support for older games isn't that great.

I mean, last I heard, they weren't even interested in continuing to make GPUs, their ARC cards being their first and last attempt. I'm guessing they backpedaled on that and actually wanna make a serious go, but they'll need to deliver SOMETHING on the raytracing front, because even AMD at least brute forces it, and new future games are unlikely to utilize it LESS.

Drivers mainly, but they're getting better. Pricing should be lower as well.

I'd expect that they can deliver something good enough in time, if they keep at it. I really hope they will stay in the game long enough.

Same name not mean scam. The people know what buyng, if not, is fault for who buyng.

I repeat not is a scam. Is only a confusion.
So it's the buyer's fault for being ripped off due to not knowing that it's a bad product that costs the same but performs ~30% slower, when it wasn't even publicly announced that it even exists by its maker? Okay then.

Except when people buy a 3060, regardless of how much VRAM it has, they generally expect it to perform pretty much the same. But it's literally on par with a 2060 6GB while the 12GB matches the 2070 Super. It's a massive difference for the same price, it's misleading and scummy of NVIDIA to make it.


The people understand the situation relax :)

I'd say the peeps here may understand, and are perhaps aware IF and when they wish to buy the RTX 3060. But, it's the peeps who aren't aware or have not read up on CPU and GPU performance (even now, very few articles are written about the performance difference between the 8GB and 12GB cards). so gleaning info even off the net may be challenging.

The thing is, the people who don't frequent here don't focus over specs or even a slight slowdown in fps so they wouldn't care the way some people on this forum do. If they're not on here, they probably actually enjoy gaming more than investigating how much performance they can squeeze out of a pc for an extra $50 or $100. Those people who drop in to ask a question are happy just to have a stable pc or get it back to stable, even if their boards vrms aren't reputable or their GPU has less ram. They probably don't even look at FPS. They're measurement is only "does it look ok to me" or "does it look crappy to me".

I will call it ignorance, but it's justifiable. The other option is to spend their life on here forever waiting on the perfectly priced GPU instead of enjoying themselves on what's actually out. I personally would rather just spend the couple hundred and move on with my life than not spend that money and despise the situation.

Hey, I'm perfectly happy with my 3060 Ti, but I wouldn't begrudge someone right now for being in the market for a 30xx series card but wanting performance for value. Why should they get ripped off on a BUDGET card (because the 60xx series IS midrange budget, I don't think anyone denies that) just because Nvidia doesn't mention the specs? When I bought my 2060 Super, I did so thinking I got it for a good deal at $400 MSRP.

But for all I know, the 8 GB VRAM might not have meant much if it was slower in other respects. The fact that the current 3060 8 GB is technically slower than even a 2060 Super should offend ANYONE who cares about performance for value, because it's being sold for more than that card now, despite it being a "next gen" card. People don't like to get ripped, no matter what tier it is. That much was made clear with the 4080 12 GB.

Because it wasn’t publicly announced and frankly they’re desensitized

The 4080 12G was also the leaked 4070, this is just a cheaply made 3060

This has been happening for the better for the better part of the last decade, maybe longer.

The last two GPUs I got for my HTPC, the GT 1030 and the GT 430, had the same exact thing thing where there were two versions of an otherwise identical named/numbered card. There were two versions of them, one decent, one bad (often priced very similarly too) and you had to research to make sure you were getting the better one. Worse, they didn't even have VRAM distinctions so sometimes it wasn't always easy to see on listings which it was. You had to try and look up part numbers and see what the bus width/CUDA cores were.

This is nothing new sadly. What's new is nVidia is trying it at the gaming segment (x50/x60 and above). They tries passing an x60 Ti off as an x80, people called it out for trying to pass an x70 off as an 80 (which nVidia silently smirked at probably because this is actually what the OTHER RTX 4080 is...), and learned their lesson. The lesson they learned wasn't to not do it, it was to bring as little attention to it as possible.

Looks like we got our answer for the 4060 range. It might still be preliminary specs, but a 128 bit bus for the 4060 TI version?! And no doubt they'll make you pay $600-$700 for the "luxury of getting ripped off". That makes it WORSE than the previous generation of 3060 Ti. Why would ANYONE then buy a next gen card that performs WORSE than their same counterpart of the previous gen?! https://www.tomshardware.com/news/preliminary-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-specs-leak#xenforo-comments-3788744

In case some foreheads didn't notice, the 4060 Ti has several hundred fewer CUDA cores as well if the leak is accurate, it's not just lower memory bandwidth

If anything, they’ll clock it higher and it’ll be about the same as a 3070

Looks like an RTX 4050 or so? That gap between the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 is embarrassingly large. It almost feels like It would be encouraging poor behavior of nVidia to buy any RTX 40 series that isn't the RTX 4090, which is way, way outside my price range. But if you take every product below the RTX 4090 and change it to one tier lower than what nVidia named it, the lineup starts to make more relative sense to one another.

But even the RTX 4070 Ti to RTX 4060 Ti loses a lot of CUDA cores (I know they aren't linear to performance but it's a big indicator). Also, why do they always launch the x60 Ti model first? If these are going to be planned into the lineup instead of refreshes now, just readjust stack naming. They could introduce more tiers instead of only going down to x60 (or x50), but that'd go against their narrative of selling low end chips as mid-range, mid-range as high end, etc.

It's amazing my GPU is over half a decade out of date and isn't even from a higher tier than the RTX 4060 Ti in name, and yet the RTX 4060 Ti could only have 2 GB more VRAM than it (it's likely going to be that or 10 GB at best because I don't see it having 12 GB given both RTX 4070s have that). I know Pascal offered a bit of VRAM for the time (I went from 1 GB to 6 GB with changing to it), but still. I can and do run out of VRAM with one of the things I do so drastically raising my GPU computing power but only adding 25% more VRAM won't do.

The 128-bit bus is actually not a big deal to me if the VRAM speed compensates enough for it, though it does lend to the idea that nVidia is selling lesser spec chips at higher names/tiers to get away with charging more for less.

Also, 220W might not be a lot today but it's almost double my GTX 1060. Is performance per watt that bad/slowing down that much in the last couple generations or what?

I almost expect it to be a somewhat mediocre price for performance like the RTX 3060 series was. With the rest of the RTX 40 lineup is looking, it almost doesn't have room to be great. And this is following cuts to the RTX 3060. There seems to be enough room where nVidia can position this to be enough of an increase over the RTX 3060 while still being disappointing on its own, and I hope that's not where it lands (won't be personally considering this card anyway, but it's the principle of it).
