However, it is necessary to add with one breath that, as in the case of its predecessors, improved models with an overclocked core or quieter and more efficient cooling will appear on store shelves.

The exact date of the start of sales has not yet been determined. The manufacturer only stated that potential bidders can count on “the end of February”. That’s when Asus, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac should bring game graphics with a new core.

Nvidia really expects a lot from the new graphics. Currently, the most popular game graphics is the older model GeForce GTX 1060 introduced in 2016.

This can be seen beautifully in the game Cyberpunk 2077, which squeezes the performance of even the latest graphics cards to the last drop. GeForce RTX 3060 has twice the rasterization power and up to ten times the ray-tracing power compared to GTX 1060. In the mentioned title Cyberpunk 2077, the manufacturer promises smooth play with the new card even at 60 frames per second, of course in Full HD resolution.

“Ray-tracing is experiencing an unstoppable dynamic development that has rapidly redefined new gaming standards,” said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing in Nvidia. “The NVIDIA Ampere architecture sold the fastest in history, and the RTX 3060 brings the benefits of the GeForce RTX series to 30 million other players worldwide,” he added.
