We know that Nvidia’s RTX 3060 and 3050 GPUs made an appearance at the PCI ID repository. But earlier, two more PCI IDs were added to its repository. The IDs belonged to two GPUs from the green team, namely the GeForce RTX 3070 mobile and RTX 3070 Max-Q. According to sources, both the cards were based on the GA104M GPU, assigned the IDs 249c and 249d.
But now, as we know, the PCI ID repository has since been updated though, revealing more details about NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 30 cards. According to reports, NVIDIA has an 8 GB and 16 GB version of the RTX 3070 mobile in development. It is unclear if the green team plans to release Max-P and Max-Q cards with 8 GB and 16 GB of VRAM.
As we have seen recently, the PCI ID repository also contains a line for ID 2520, which refers to the RTX 3060 mobile and a Max-Q variant. We already know from previous leaks that NVIDIA is working on mobile versions of the RTX 3060, but the PCI ID repository adds that these cards will be built on a GA106M GPU.
It is expected that NVIDIA will release Max-P and Max-Q versions of the RTX 3080. Thus it means that the company will add plenty of RTX 30 mobile cards to market, giving gamers a vast list to choose from early next year. Sources indicate that the existence of 8 GB and 16 GB versions of the RTX 3070 Max-P and Max-Q means that there could be up to eight RTX 30 series cards.
The company seems to be gearing up big time to give AMD’s Radeon 6000 series tough competition. With its raytracing and DLSS technology, it will be interesting to see how Nvidia will stack up against AMD’s rDNA-2 graphics cards.
