The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a popular mid-range Ampere architecture consumer GPU, launched in December 2020. It offered one of the best price-to-performance ratios in the RTX 30 series, becoming one of the best-selling cards in the generation.
The RTX 3060 Ti uses the GA104 die with 8GB of GDDR6 memory providing 448 GB/s bandwidth. It includes 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 third-generation Tensor Cores, and 38 second-generation RT cores. TDP is 200W.
The RTX 3060 Ti provided performance competitive with the RTX 2080 Super at a significantly lower price point. This value proposition made it extremely popular despite GPU shortages affecting availability and pricing during its early availability.
For 1440p gaming, the RTX 3060 Ti delivers excellent results with performance approaching the RTX 3070. The efficient 200W TDP makes it practical for a wide range of system configurations without specialized cooling or power requirements.
