NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Fire Strike and Time Spy Scores Pop Up, faster than RTX 2080 Super
3DMark scores of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti leaked with Fire Strike and Time Spy benchmark runs. Fire Strike shows 30706 points, where DirectX 12-based Time Spy test shows 12175 points.
The scores indicate the RTX 3060 Ti to be ahead of the last-generation high-end GeForce RTX 2080 Super. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti reportedly has 4,864 shader cores, 38 second-gen RT cores, 152 third-gen Tensor cores, and 8 GB 14 Gbps GDDR6 over a 256-bit wide bus.

Nothing entry level about a 3060 tho, 1080p card, yes
Alot of gamers are still using 1080p, altho at 240-360 Hz
VRAM is not a problem here. 3060 might easily deliver 2070 Super perf for 300 bucks
It should be the first real gaming card. Not an entry level video card in general, for sure, but I wouldn't buy anything below it for gaming uses. That's why I called it an entry level gaming card. That being said, I wouldn't buy a video card with less than 8GB of memory for gaming, personally, which is the reason I said 6GB would be for the bottom of the barrel gaming card.

I would not either but tons of people that uses 1080p at 144-360 Hz play esports games, which use pretty much no VRAM, we are talking 1-2-3GB
I'm sure they will sell alot of these cards
Almost 80% of Steam users uses 1080p or less

I'm myself at 1080p. However, it ought to be either 3060 Ti or 6700 (XT) for me, depending on the 6700 (XT) performance. Even my ancient, moldy Radeon 390 has 8GB, so it would be quite impossible to get one with less memory. On the other hand, if I ever want to try RT even for the laughs, the plain 3060 would seem like a dubious choice. Not to mention it's not like games would suddenly become lighter in the near future. I like to stick to a video card for a few years at the very least.
Esports players aren't the kind of gamers I'm talking about. They are eathletes. Their needs are very specific to them, and them alone. Gamers are playing a variety of games, including the newest AAA games. Of course this is just my opinion, but I consider it reasonable.

Why so? VRAM is not going to save a weak GPU.
By the time 24GB VRAM will be needed, 3090 will be pure trash, for example.
390 series 8GB was waaaay overkill and the card barely does 1080p on high these days. So it was pointless in the end. A 1060 6GB beats it with ease..
You won't need more than 8GB for 1440p gaming for years. AC Valhalla on maxed out settings use 6GB VRAM at 4K.
"Next Gen" consoles have 16GB shared RAM, probably will never use more than 6GB for the GPU and these target 4K (dynamic res tho, but still higher than 1440p most of the time - AC Valhalla drops close to 1080p on XSX tho :p).
VRAM is good to have, if it's needed. Never OVERPAY for it. 3090 is a prime example - you pay 800 dollars for 10% perf and useless VRAM. Bigger moneygrab than 2080 Ti was.
Pretty much 99% of gamers on steam uses 1440p or lower. They don't need more than 8GB anytime soon, as in 4+ years.
By then I have replaced my 3080 at least 2 times.
I HAVE NEVER bought a card which had too little VRAM. I also never keep my GPUs for more than 2-3 years. My 1080 Ti was 3 years (first time ever I kept a GPU for more than 2 years). Only because I skipped 2000 series and refreshes.
Next upgrade is 2022, HOPPER or AMD if relevant by then..
