NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 goes on sale on February 25
According to the resource Wccftech, NVIDIA has announced its partners the start of sales of the new graphics accelerator GeForce RTX 3060. According to the source, the sale of video cards will begin on February 25.
The GeForce RTX 3060 is powered by an NVIDIA GA106-300 GPU with 3584 CUDA cores. This Ampere Series model is equipped with 12GB GDDR6 video memory. Curiously, the youngest card in the series has more available video memory than the more productive and expensive GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 models, which have only 8 GB GDDR6 each, as well as the older GeForce RTX 3080 equipped with 10 GB GDDR6X.
We add that last week started sales of laptops equipped with a mobile version of the GeForce RTX 3060. It differs from the desktop version by a different graphics processor, which uses more CUDA cores (3840 pieces) and half the amount of memory, which is 6 GB. Of course, power consumption is also different, and with it, the frequencies.
According to network sources, some Western stores have already started selling the GeForce RTX 3060. One of the EtherMining Reddit users reported that two weeks before the official start of sales in a local store, he purchased a version of the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC. True, he will still not be able to use the card until the official release since there is no necessary driver.
During the announcement of the GeForce RTX 3060, NVIDIA announced that the recommended cost of the new product is $ 329. Considering the current situation on the market and the fact that this model will not be sold in the standard Founders Edition, we can safely assume that the novelty will not be found in stores at this price.
