We spotted a leak on the internet which is regarding the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. Much awaited pictures of a custom GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card designed by ASUS have been leaked and sources claim that the 12 GB models will be regarded as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra.
According to sources, NVIDIA plans to rebrand the GeForce RTX 3060 as the GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra. It is stated that the Ultra tier is spaced above the Ti and SUPER variants. So in the new cards, we can expect top of the line cooling solutions even though the GPU it is based on is a mainstream design.
Reports indicate that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra will feature 12 GB of GDDR6 memory which is more than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, GeForce RTX 3070, and GeForce RTX 3080 cards. ASUS will be offering the GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra in its upcoming ROG and TUF series models.
Another interesting thing about the card is that it will feature a 2.7 slot design along with a large aluminum shroud with three massive fans that come with 0dB technology. It might have either a single 8-pin or a dual 8-pin connector configuration and the display outputs include a single HDMI and 3 DisplayPort outputs.
