The 200W TDP rating isn't too far from the RTX 2060 SUPER's 175W, considering the significant performance boost. Because this is an Ampere GPU, there's also support for PCIe 4.0, which is already with numerous AMD CPUs and chipsets, as well as slowly rolling out on Intel's side. The EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC Gaming we have in for review has a core clock speed of 1,410MHz, which can comfortably boost up to and hold at 1,710MHz without any tinkering on our part.
Ampere is the real deal.Īs well as better overall gaming performance, ray tracing is also improved in the 3060 Ti thanks to second-generation RT cores. Recall how I noted NVIDIA touts the RTX 3060 Ti as equal to the older RTX 2080? They aren't joking and it also isn't clever marketing jargon. Instead of cramming yet more cores onto the card and calling it a day, NVIDIA instead changed how the cores work.Īll you (and I) need to know is all this magic leads to some significant gains over the last generation of RTX 20 series graphics cards. As covered in our NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 review, the biggest difference with the new RTX 30 series cards is the SM.Įssentially, NVIDIA took all the gains made with floating-point (FP32) and integer (INT32) operations for Turing-based RTX 20 series cards and turned them up to 11 for even more performance with RTX 30.
All this results in better overall efficiency and performance. The Ampere architecture brought improvements to the streaming multiprocessor (SM) used by NVIDIA, as well as new ray tracing (RT) cores and tweaked Tensor cores. Source: NVIDIA (Image credit: Source: NVIDIA)
