NVIDIA Allegedly Preparing Yet Another RTX 3060 Variant

NVIDIA Allegedly Preparing Yet Another RTX 3060 Variant
This would be the fourth model sharing the same name.
NVIDIA has spawned a few variants of RTX 3060s since its inception back in early 2021, including the vanilla 12GB GDDR6 variant, the crypto-resistant LHR (Lite Hash Rate) model, and later on even a 8GB GDDR6 128-bit model. The most popular GPU to date in the PC community may even see the fourth one, this time with the spiced-up GDDR6X VRAM instead.
Unlike the previous three which all uses the GA106 die, this GDDR6X version of what alleged to be yet another RTX 3060 is using a bigger die, the GA104 (usually reserved for RTX 3070). It’s not exactly rare to see mid-range GPUs using huge hand-me-down dies as this is among the ways GPU vendors salvage sub-optimal dies from the chip fabs to recoup the costs, often at no extra cost to the consumers (RTX 3060 Ti for example has a variant that uses GA103, a flagship-class die).

Pokdepinion: Buying a RTX 3060 almost sounds like a lottery at this point, isn’t it?
