GDDR6X

Although Nvidia has launched its GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada) graphics cards, the chipmaker isn't ready to bid farewell to Ampere yet. Likewise, Nvidia hasn't officially announced the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X, but Asus has just confirmed the new Ampere SKU's existence.The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X is part of the rumored refresh, including models like the GeForce RTX 3060 GDDR6X, GeForce RTX 3060 8GB, and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GA102. The refresh suggests that Nvidia may have accumulated too many Ampere dies and is finding…

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti may not be the only Ampere graphics card getting a GDDR6X memory upgrade. Slovakian retailer DT digital (via momomo_us (opens in new tab)), which specializes in Lenovo products, has listed an unreleased GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card with GDDR6X memory.Similar to the situation with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X, the GeForce RTX 3060 GDDR6X would be the third iteration of the GeForce RTX 3060. The original model debuted last year with the GA106 die. A second variant arrived on the market a few…

The rumor about Nvidia giving the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti a refresh seems true. U.K. retailer Scan Computers (via VideoCardz (opens in new tab)) has listed Nvidia's unannounced GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with upgraded GDDR6X memory.Nvidia launched the original GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in 2020, but the chipmaker would introduce a second variant earlier this year. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti leveraged the GA104 silicon, whereas the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GA103, as its unofficial name implies, used the GA103 silicon. It was a die-swap on Nvidia's…

Nvidia and partners are purportedly concocting at least three more GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards, according to Twitter leakster Zed Wang, aka MEGAsizedGPU (opens in new tab). In the pipeline, according to this latest green team rumor, are an RTX 3060 8GB, an RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X, and an RTX 3070 Ti based on the GA102 GPU. However, we think adding these cards shortly would signal that there are still several months to wait for mid-range GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) cards to hit the market.If true,…

Micron has quietly started volume production of GDDR6X memory chips featuring a 24 GT/s data transfer rate. The new memory devices are expected to be used by some of Nvidia's upcoming high-end GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Micron's new 24 GT/s GDDR6X chips have a capacity of 16Gb (2GB) and can be used to build graphics cards with loads of memory onboard (via @Harukaze5719). It is expected that these ICs will be used for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, carrying 24GB…

Nvidia's forthcoming GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) graphics cards continue to make the rounds in the rumor mill. Hardware tipster kopite7kimi, who has an impeccable history with Ampere leaks, has revealed the potential memory configurations for the GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4070.The GeForce RTX 4090 reportedly rocks the AD102 die and is likely the flagship silicon for Nvidia's next-generation lineup. The graphics card may arrive with 24GB of GDDR6X memory at 21 Gbps. That's the same recipe Nvidia used for the…
