ASUS introduced GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual with GDDR6X memory and new design

ASUS introduced the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics gas pedal with GDDR6X memory in Dual version.
Not only does it get faster memory, but it also has a freshened up look that sets it apart from other Dual performance graphics cards from the same vendor.Image source: ASUSIt's even more compact than the original.
Its dimensions are 230 × 120 × 42 mm.
By comparison, the original GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual has dimensions of 269 × 136 × 52 mm.
Recall also that ASUS releases Dual Mini model with dimensions 200 × 123 × 38 mm.New ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memoryOriginal ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual (GDDR6)ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual (GDDR6)Updated GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual with GDDR6X memory will be offered in two variants: with higher and lower factory overclocking GPU.
The GPU model marked DUAL-RTX3060TI-8GD6X has a declared range of maximum operating frequencies from 1665 (standard) to 1695 MHz (overclocking mode).
The chip card marked DUAL-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X operates in the range from 1680 to 1710 MHz, respectively.At the core of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti uses NVIDIA GPU GA104 on Ampere architecture with 4864 CUDA cores.
The updated model gets 8 GB of GDDR6X memory at 19 Gbps per pin.
The original version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, released in 2020, uses GDDR6 memory at 14 Gbps per pin.We should also add that the updated gas pedal ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual has lost one video output.
The card has three DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI.
The same set has the Dual Mini model.
The original GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual has one more HDMI port.

NVIDIA unveiled an improved GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory and a degraded GeForce RTX 3060 with 8GB GDDR6

NVIDIA officially unveiled an improved GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory as well as a degraded GeForce RTX 3060 with a reduced to 8GB GDDR6 memory.
Characteristics of the cards appeared on the company's website.
Some partners NVIDIA, such as Manli, ASUS and Colorful, have previously provided their versions of these gas pedals.Image source: NVIDIA \"To diversify the choice of gamers and creators of digital content, we present some new options from our network of partners around the world.
They will be available in November.
In addition to the regular GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 memory we are introducing the faster GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory.
The second gas pedal is the GeForce RTX 3060 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
Support for both products are included in the new version of the graphics driver Game Ready Driver\" - says NVIDIA.
Model GeForce RTX 3060 8GB - this is actually a copy of the original GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB of memory, but with reduced to 8 GB of memory GDDR6 and cut to 128 bits memory bus.
As a consequence, the memory bandwidth of this gas pedal decreased from 360 to 240 GB/s.
This could have a negative impact on gaming performance.
At the basis of a new version of the gas pedal is used the former Ampere GA106 graphics processor with 3584 CUDA cores.
The use of faster GDDR6X memory in the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, in turn, should have a positive impact on the performance of the graphics card in games.
The faster memory provides a higher bandwidth at 608 GB/s.
Recall that the original version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has a GDDR6 memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s.
The new version of the gas pedal has only changed the standard of memory used.
The volume of 8 GB and support for 256-bit memory bus is preserved.
At the basis of this graphics card is used the former GA104 graphics processor with 4864 CUDA cores.

New GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory was faster than GeForce RTX 3070 in some games

Galax has provided the first gaming performance data on the new version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, which was introduced a few days ago.
The faster GDDR6X provides up to 35% higher memory bandwidth than GDDR6.
This should have a positive impact on gaming performance, especially at high graphics settings.Image source: GalaxThe Galax company will release a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Plus graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory.
The manufacturer compared the new product to the older model GeForce RTX 3070, also equipped with 8 GB of memory, but slower GDDR6.
Recall that the GeForce RTX 3070 uses a GPU with 5888 CUDA cores, while the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is equipped with a GPU with 4864 CUDA cores.
GDDR6 memory of the former provides a bandwidth of 448 GB/s, the second equipped with GDDR6X memory, this figure is 608 GB/s.
According to the video published by Galax, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with faster memory provides a slightly higher level of performance compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 in a number of games.
The tests were conducted in three games: Spider-Man Remastered, Cyberpunk 2077 and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not specify what resolution and graphics settings were used.
In the first two games, Galax compared two almost identical scenes.
In Spider-Man Remastered, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory provided 81 FPS of performance, while the GeForce RTX 3070 provided 75 FPS.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the advantage of the model with GDDR6X memory remained.
It provided an average of 70 frames per second, and the GeForce RTX 3070 model - 61 frames per second.
But in A Plague Tale: Requiem game GeForce RTX 3070 model was faster - 81 vs.
78 FPS of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory.Officially the company has not yet presented GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Plus card.
At the time of writing this text the gas pedal is not listed on its official website.
However, Galax's statement once again confirms that this video card model with GDDR6X memory does exist and will soon go on sale.

AMD compared Radeon RX 6700 with overclocked GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - the former has performance per watt up to 33% higher

AMD released the Radeon RX 6700 graphics card four months ago, but the announcement was more of a formal one.
The manufacturer didn't report the performance data of the new product, but only added information about the card to its official website.
And now the company has decided to share some official data about its performance.Image source: VideoCardzWhich writes VideoCardz, Radeon RX 6700, despite the entry into the market, is in short supply.
There are no independent reviews on the web, so the data provided by AMD, in which the card is compared to a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, allow you to evaluate its gaming potential compared to competitors.
Recall that the Radeon RX 6700 is based on a cut down graphics chip Navi 22 with 2304 stream processors, 144 texture blocks, 64 rasterization blocks and 36 raytracing acceleration blocks.
Almost the same chip is used in the mobile Radeon RX 6700M for laptops.
In the reference version, the Radeon RX 6700 GPU's base frequency is 1941 MHz, the gaming frequency is 2174 MHz.
In Boost mode it goes up to 2450 MHz.
The novelty got 10 Gbytes of GDDR6 memory with 160-bit interface, 16 Gbit/s per pin and a bandwidth of up to 320 Gbytes/s.
It also features 80 MB of dedicated Infinity Cache memory.
Radeon RX 6700 power consumption is claimed to be 175W.

Image source: AMDRemind that NVIDIA recently introduced the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, and Intel released its Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards.
They are all in the same segment.
Perhaps that's why AMD decided to do a direct comparison between the Radeon RX 6700 and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The performance of the AMD gas pedal, based on the data provided, is at the level of the competitor.
At the same time, both models are inferior to the older Radeon 6700 XT.
Radeon RX 6700 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti OC.
Image source: AMDIt is curious that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with overclocked GPU took part in the comparison test.
Manufacturers usually do not conduct such comparisons, pitting cards without overclocking against each other.
In the published data, AMD does not clarify whether the NVIDIA card was used with factory or manual overclocking.
However, the company does point out that the power consumption of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 230W.
So we are not talking about the Founders Edition reference version, which has a claimed TDP of 200W.
AMD points out that the Radeon RX 6700 at 175W power consumption is up to 33% more favorable in terms of performance per watt than the overclocked GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but still provides the same level of performance.
