As a result, Nvidia have raised their power supply requirements for the RTX 3060 Ti to 600W this time round, rather than the 500W / 550W rating they recommended for their RTX 2060 predecessors. It also has a slightly higher boost clock speed of 1665MHz compared to the RTX 2060 Super's 1650MHz, but it does also have a higher GPU power rating of 200W versus the Super's 175W as well. However, whereas the RTX 2060 Super had just 2176 CUDA cores under its belt, the RTX 3060 Ti more than doubles that to 4864 - just down from the RTX 3070's 5888 CUDA cores. The RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition has one of Nvidia's new 12-pin power connectors, but an adapter for a single 8-pin connector is included in the box. Like the RTX 3070 (and RTX 2060 Super before it), this graphics card has 8GB of GDDR6 memory to its name, which should be enough to get you through the ever-increasing VRAM demands of tomorrow's big games over the next couple of years, but it's worth bearing in mind that we've seen some titles such as Watch Dogs Legion butt up against that figure already on its very top graphics settings. In the meantime, here's what we're dealing with in terms of specs. In any case, the RTX 3060 Ti still makes a strong case for those after a flawless 60fps max settings 1440p GPU this year.

After all, their "Ti" moniker is normally reserved for the super-charged versions of a particular card, although whether we'll also see an RTX 3060 Super in the future as well as a vanilla 3060 is currently anyone's guess. Of course, as you may have already guessed from the RTX 3060 Ti's name, there will likely be more than one RTX 3060 card arriving over the coming months - although quite when and for how much Nvidia aren't yet ready to say (edit: the RTX 3060 was announced at CES 2021 and is due in late February 2021). With the RTX 3070 still rarer than hen's teeth and no immediately obvious Big Navi competitor from AMD on the horizon, the RTX 3060 Ti firmly succeeds the RTX 2060 and RX 5700 XT as my new graphics card of choice for mid-range PCs.

It's also a superb 1080p card, too, hitting well in excess of 60fps on max settings, and often pushing into the region of 70-90fps. Power connectors: 12-pin x1 (8-pin x1 adapter included).

Base / Boost Clock Speed: 1410MHz / 1665MHz.While not quite the same 4K powerhouse as the RTX 3070, the RTX 3060 Ti is a much more compelling option for gaming at 2560x1440, capable of hitting 60fps on max settings in almost every big game going today (a feat the RTX 2060 sometimes struggled with on the very top settings), and pretty darn close to that with ray tracing and DLSS switched on. It's arguably the RTX 30 card you've been waiting for all along, too. With prices starting at £369 / $399, this latest entry in Nvidia's next-gen RTX 30 family packs quite a punch for its price bracket, going toe to toe with the outgoing (and significantly more expensive) RTX 2080 Super across all resolutions, and offering significant gains over its immediate predecessors, the RTX 20 Super.

#Nvidia geforce rtx 2060 max q review series
Just when you thought there wouldn't be another opportunity to get one of Nvidia's new RTX cards this side of Christmas, another member of their RTX 30 series has arrived: the hotly anticipated RTX 3060 Ti.
