GeForce RTX 3060 Ti performance slide leaks - faster than RTX 2080 SUPER
One card that has been named quite a number of times is the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, word right now is that it'll launch December 2nd and will get 4864 shader cores.
A Chinese site talks about 4864 shader cores and 8 GB of gddr6 memory. The graphics memory would have a 256-bit memory bus and a speed of 14 Gb/s, good for a bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Based on the GA104-200 GPU it would get a base frequency of 1,140 MHz and a boost at 1,665 MHz. That one holds with 6 GB GDDR6. Prices of the Chinese webshop would suggest a price of around 378 euros. While the Ti is a sure thing release wise, there would also be a non-Ti product later on. Expreview reports that the 3060 Ti will be delayed by two weeks towards 2 December as the availability date. It is not known why the introduction has been pushed back two weeks, but limited availability of all Ampère cards might have something to do with this.
Update 2: In a new leak, performance slides from NVIDIA have leaked on the pending 3060 Ti. The graphics cards were tested with stock clocks at 2560×1440 resolution using Intel Core i9-10900K CPU. The results look very promising as the card would beat even an RTX 2080 SUPER. While the GeForce RTX 2060 Super is usually clearly beaten in all games and the synthetic benchmarks used, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super also has to admit defeat to the new GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in the disciplines of rasterizing, ray tracing and rendering.

My current understanding of the situation is that RX6800XT wins vs RTX3080 in most situations without RT, but, likely loses when RT is on. I'm also sitting on the fence for a few months at least to see how things pan out.
No, Nvidia will sell as many as they can manufacture still well into the future. AMD would need to be able to match or beat Nvidia for a bit longer before Nvidia would start to feel the hurt for real. Also, we haven't still got any real review of the AMD products or got feedback from the driver status. There're lots and lots of people who don't want to get an AMD card because they are too afraid of having to fight with the software instead of simply enjoying the games. Those people aren't just rumours. I know a few in RL.

Agreed, interesting move. It stifles any future midrange product changes without changing their numbering system, though I guess its not impossible that Nvidia could release 3065Ti...
It's weird that they release a Ti before the non Ti version, or at least i don't remember that happening before

Anything below 3070 got bad rt performance in games i think.

People are not gonna buy these for raytracing.

Yeah, I guess in a worst-case scenario, the 3060 Ti is most likely the worst GPU that can reliably get you to 60FPS at 1080p with maxed out details and RT enabled.
I personally view RT as the new tessellation - a good technology that, when done right (on both the hardware and software side of things) is worthwhile, but will take a couple years until it can really be used properly and effectively. There currently aren't any games that look flawed without it, so, whatever I end up getting is just whatever will barely play 4K@60FPS, without AA or RT, and replace it when RT is more polished and necessary.
