Chinese marketplace Taobao has a number of retailers listing NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti graphics card for pre-order - a graphics card that hasn't officially been confirmed by NVIDIA.

Current information places the RTX 3060 Ti as using the same 392 mm², 17.4 B transistor GA104 chip as the RTX 3070, albeit under the GA104-200 nomenclature; the chip is expected to leverage 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 Tensor Cores, and 38 RT Cores (the RTX 3070 features 5888, 184, and 46 of these respectively). Base clock is apparently set at 1410 MHz with up to 1665 MHz Boost, and should feature the same 8 GB GDDR6, 14 Gbps memory subsystem as the RTX 3070. The RTX 3060 Ti is expected to launch come mid-November, and perhaps we'll hear more about it when NVIDIA officially introduces the RTX 3070 graphics card.

The seller believes that RTX 3060 Ti should become available after November

My thoughts

This pretty much confirms the existence of the 3060 Ti, and a launch that could be happening very soon. Like all Ampere cards, the performance looks good, but availability is the main concern.

I bet Nvidia will call it rather 3060 Super than 3060 ti

Super has only been used for a "refresh". Typically the card above 60 tier is 60Ti and launches right away. It seems like Nvidia might refresh Ampere on TSMC 7nm because of Big Navi so then they'll use Super.

It's so hilarious reading about other models and refreshes when they can't even deliver the damn cards that were "launched" weeks ago lmao. It seems like they had like 2500 cards for the entire world... And now it seems like they can't produce any more.

Most places seem to be using new stock to fill existing orders and not selling on the open. There are slowly increasing numbers of people with them on forums. 

 

Besides, 3070 (and 3060?) will be a separate die than 3080+ so they wont directly impact each other.

They might be anyway.  One of the games chip makers in general seem to play is calling a flawed (or even unflawed but locked) version of a larger die a different die.  Everything is behind an ihs and underneath a piece of silicon.  The only visible differentiator is what is printed on the ihs.   It’s hard to know what “different die” means in some cases.

The specs of the 3060 Ti have been confirmed on GPU-Z.

Some form of a comparison for 3060 ti vs 2080 ti

Who cares. Until we see these damn cards in store shelves or in stock somewhere, it is an absolute wasted of everyone’s time to follow any GPU news from Nvidia.

Haha, while I don't believe anything I see on a Chinese site like that, I am interested to see what the 3060 class card turns out to be. It's going to make buying used components a rather tricky proposition for a few months, and honestly I don't really see prices on used stuff dropping for at least 6 - 7 months as people won't want to part with them at such low prices.

Aren't the other cards different dies, or at the very least versions of it that weren't good enough to be a full 3080? In that case, it's not surprising there will be stock available. Not only that, virtually every source has said that there has been phenomenal demand for this generation of GPU. It's not that hard to get one; just sign up at a retailer. My roommate got his a couple weeks ago.

They're not hard to get if you sign up for notifications.

It doesn't matter. If foundry's capacity is filled with some other product, they won't be able to output as many other products. And clearly someone in the supply chain has issues. Either not enough Ampere GPU's or AIB's not making enough actual cards with them.

OMFG ITS THAT CHEAP?? IM GONNA BUY IT FOR MY BUDGET BUILD XD

i mean, after a lot of days, a lot of people and i mean a lot of people were able to get the 3080s i think with a little bit of searching and a little bit of fast mouse clicks, i think 3060 will be mine

[Loote]

Sooner or later it's going to be there, when AMD cards arrive the demand will be split too. I am waiting for something that's probably even lower tier than that, makes me happy that they're starting to show up.

UPDATE: According to rumors, the 3060 Ti is slated to be released on Nov. 17, a day before the 6800 and 6800XT release date.
