For this reason, it is probably just about placeholders and, as this is a rather small sample, it is difficult to come to a general conclusion. If we focus primarily on Asus models and CCL Computers pricing, in some cases there is a small price difference between the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti. For example, the Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Mini OC Edition costs only 5.9% more than the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 OC Edition. If we look at it from another point of view, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 and OC editions cost more than the Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Mini OC Edition itself.
Recall that, from a specification point of view, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is equipped with 35.7% more CUDA cores than non-Ti, while also offering 24.4% more memory bandwidth. In defense of the GeForce RTX 3060, however, it should be noted that it comes with an additional 4GB of GDDR6 memory. In any case, we will have to wait to have it in our hands to be able to carry out suitable tests to verify the performance difference between the two proposals.
The price of the GeForce RTX 3060 will determine the success of the graphics card and, as we already know, every euro counts in the mid-range market. Assuming the price gap between a GeForce RTX 3060 and an RTX 3060 Ti is less than 10%, it would make sense to fall back on the latter, especially if it manages to offer significantly higher performance. The problem is that with the continuing shortage of graphics cards and the resumption of cryptocurrency mining, the chances of finding a GeForce RTX 3060 for € 339 will be very slim.
Look for a good motherboard to pair with the new processors AMD? ASUS ROG Strix X570-F with 14 power phases might be a good choice. You can find it on Amazon at an attractive price.
