Rumor: GeForce RTX 3060 to have 4864 shader cores?

GeForce RTX 3090, 3080, and 3070 hey, they're coming. But the big-ticket item for most will be the GeForce RTX 3060 of course. That product has been unannounced but according to the usually well informed Twitterer 'kopite7kimi', the RTX 3060 Ti would get fitted with a GA104-200 GPU that holds 4868 Shader cores.

That could be the SUPER model though, so a more dimmed down version or SKU could initially be released. If true it would be a powerful card really, an RTX 3070 has 5888 shader cores. Of course, there's always the possibility we'll see multiple 3060 SKUs. According to a registered RTX 3060 video card at the EEC, the card would get 6 GB GDDR6 (not GDDR6X) memory ties to a 192-bit wide memory bus.

@Pinstripe
lol, supers are an evolution of the same chip, never a cut down of the next bigger chip like the ti's.
not sure why everyone gets that mixed up.

You have to compare it with the price class:

GTX 1660 Ti --> 3060
RTX 2060S --> 3060S

6gb vram? but doesn't the rtx2060super has 8gb.... be a bit stupid to go down

Yeah - this isn't the super version though. But i agree, only giving a 3060 6gb vram is... cheap at best... planned obsolescent at worst (and it is most likely the latter).

Nope. Nvidia cares about cost. They will not give you a GA104 card for 300 bucks.

Yes, the various segments has taken a price hike... but you still compare them model to model...
