Should I get a 12gb 3060 or a 8gb 3060ti?

They are the same price and I can't decide.

3060 Ti is about 30% faster than 3060, don't be fooled by the amount of VRAM.

So, go with 3060 Ti, assuming that you're gaming.

Do you have a task that needs VRAM more than a fast GPU? The 3060 Ti is faster than the 3060, unless whatever you're doing absolutely must have over 8GB VRAM, it should be better.

Make sure it's actually 3060 Ti and not 3060 with 8GB Vram.

are they different models? Like an MSI Mech 3060ti vs a ROG Strix 3060?

Wouldn't matter, faster GPU is faster GPU. Haven't heard of an AIB card so bad it downgrades the performance to that of a lower SKU.

Oh, I totally agree. BUT, there are other aspects than raw performance. 

Noise, for example. I actively seek out quiet cards, and that sometimes cost extra. 

But the reason I asked was simply that it sounded odd that a 3060 and 3060ti would cost the same
