GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X officially with 4864 CUDA cores, 19Gbps memory
ASUS is the first board partner to confirm the new GeForce RTX 30 model.
Just as rumored, NVIDIA board partners are now launching their RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards, the new model equipped with faster memory type. ASUS is the first company to reveal their updated TUF Gaming series, now with new GDDR6X memory.

The company confirms the exact configuration of the new SKU, which is unsurprisingly identical to the original GDDR6 memory. The only change is the 19 Gbps GDDR6X memory, and as a result, higher memory bandwidth (608 GB/s vs. 448 GB/s).
The new model comes with GA104-202 GPU equipped with 4864 CUDA cores. We have already revealed that this card has 7 to 10% performance boost in synthetic tests; however, gaming performance is yet to be determined.

ASUS launches two models today, both with identical clocks as the G6 variants:
TUF-RTX3060TI-8GD6X-GAMING
- OC mode : 1695 MHz (Boost Clock)
- Default mode : 1665 MHz (Boost Clock)
TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING
- OC mode : 1785 MHz (Boost Clock)
- Default mode : 1755 MHz (Boost Clock)
Therefore, the RTX 3060 Ti G6X from ASUS is far from a reference model. Not only the clocks are higher (in OC mode), but it also features triple-fan and 2.7-slot design, which is much more sophisticated than NVIDIA’s Founders Edition. Whether NVIDIA has plans for their design is yet to be confirmed, although it did show up on the UK retailer website a few weeks ago.

The RTX 3060 Ti G6X TUF series are thus far the only custom models announced today. It looks like the original plan to launch this model by the end of October was indeed true. This is also the first RTX 30 GPU that is getting an upgrade, however there appears to be no updates on other SKUs just yet.
