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.

Yeah my best guess is a 3060 Super/Ti using a cut down GA104 for $400, and a normal 3060 using full GA106 for $300.

@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.

RTX 2070 is TU106
RTX 2080 is TU104
RTX 2070 super is TU104

For the other Supers, i agree your statement is correct, but the statement isn't universal. Nvidia will do whatever they want to do.

Same thing with the Tis, they aren't always a cut down of the next bigger chip.

GTX 1070 is GP104
GTX 1070 ti is GP104

Nvidia does what nvidia does.
