NVIDIA is reportedly planning to discontinue the production of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card in order to make room for its upcoming GeForce RTX 4060 Ti models. The highly anticipated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to hit store shelves later this month on May 24th.
Serving as the successor to the popular GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, which was launched towards the end of 2020 and currently holds the 7th position in popularity on the Steam Hardware Survey, the new graphics card is generating excitement among users.
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti was originally priced at $399 US, and early reports indicate that the RTX 4060 Ti may follow a similar pricing pattern, with two different variants available.
The initial variant of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, set to be released later this month, will come equipped with 8 GB of memory. However, there are also plans for a second variant to be launched in July, featuring an impressive 16 GB of memory.
As a result, there will likely be a variation in price, with the standard model expected to retain a similar price point to its predecessor, around $399 US, while the higher memory variant may be priced at $499 US.
According to information from Chinese Board Forums, NVIDIA has instructed its partners to clear their existing inventory of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards. This may explain why Colorful, a manufacturer, has recently introduced a new GDDR6X variant of the card.
Despite being over three years old, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti cards are still being sold close to their original manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of around $390-$400 US. However, it is anticipated that selling them at the same prices will become increasingly challenging once the RTX 4060 Ti hits the market at a similar price range.
Both the 16 GB and 8 GB variants of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards will feature a similar core configuration, including the AD106-350 GPU, 34 SMs, 4352 cores, and 16 Gbps memory running on a 128-bit bus interface, delivering a bandwidth of 288 GB/s. These specifications promise impressive performance and are likely to excite gaming enthusiasts and professionals alike.
