ASUS has updated its latest RTX 3060 Ti TUF models with GDDR6X memory
ASUS has become the first of Nvidia partners to officially reveal a GDDR6X based variant of RTX 3060 Ti, revealing new OC and non-OC models of their RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming.
With the addition of 19 Gbps GDDR6X memory, ASUS' new RTX 3060 Ti TUF offers users a 35.7% increase in memory bandwidth over their GDDR6 based models. Core clock speeds remain identical as ASUS's prior RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming models, which means that performance gains are only expected in games and applications that can take advantage of this GPU's faster memory.
At this time, it us unknown why Nvidia are launching new GDDR6X based RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards. Nvidia could be releasing these new models for cost reasons, if they are able to acquire GDDR6X memory modules for less than GDDR6, or for some other, unknown, reason.
With 19Gbps GDDR6X memory, Nvidia's RTX 3060 Ti can offer users 608 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is a lot better than the 448 Gbps that's offered by the GPU's GDDR6 models. How this increase in memory bandwidth will impact gaming performance remains to be seen. Nvidia's new GDDR6X RTX 3060 Ti models feature more memory bandwidth than Nvidia's RTX 3070.
At this time it is unknown how many of Nvidia's partners have GDDR6X based RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards on the horizon.
You can join the discussion on ASUS' new GDDR6X RTX 3060 Ti TUF Gaming GPU on the OC3D Forums.
