Nvidia RTX3060Ti could come sooner than you think

November will not only see the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but also the possible addition of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti to both gaming consoles.

This is according to MyDrivers, which states that this graphics card will be available on November 17. This is a few days after the RTX 3060 Ti specs were reportedly leaked, according to Videocardz. MyDrivers also reports that RTX 3060 Ti inventory levels will be similar to those of the GeForce RTX 3070, which launched on October 29. [Like the GeForce RTX 3080 and the $1,499 GeForce RTX 3090, the RTX 3070 sold out quickly. However, the same problem may plague the RTX 3060 Ti if the RTX 3060 Ti is indeed to be released within the next few weeks.

The RTX 3060 Ti appears to be a graphics card that will be slightly below the RTX 3070, using the same GPU at its heart, only throttled down a bit. This is interesting, as we had thought that Nvidia would first announce the GeForce RTX 3060 as a more affordable mid-range graphics card, followed by the Ti version. However, if there is any truth to this rumor, it may not be the case. [A powerful Nvidia graphics card that can mix ray tracing with Nvidia's Deep Learning Supersampling (DLSS) to deliver high frame rates at 1440p and solid 4K performance, at a competitive price, would be PC gamers will find it very attractive. For example, such a card priced at $350 is likely what is needed to build a powerful but affordable mid-range gaming PC.

Then again, the vanilla RTX 3060 is said to be such a graphics card, as a Ti version of the RTX 3060 is definitely not needed and people can simply step up to the RTX 3070. AMD recently announced the Big Navi and Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, but while Nvidia has a next-generation GPU under $500, Team Red does not have a next-generation GPU under $500.

Therefore, the rumor is worth being skeptical about. In a few weeks, however, time will tell and we will have a better idea of what Nvidia will do next with its latest GeForce GPU family.
