Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ampere GPUs rumored to already be in production

[Redaktion]

With the entry-level and lower-mid-range RTX 3000 GPUs already in production, we could expect a complete Amepre lineup by late 2020. This way, Nvidia can better counter AMD's RDNA2 GPUs that threaten to take over the gaming GPU market in Q3 this year.

Just curious why this twitter user is considered a newsworthy source? Honest question.

Really, the ENTIRE 3000 series will get raytracing features this time around?

Unlike the ENTIRE 2000 series?

"The standard RTX 3060 is rumored to include only 6 GB of RAM, which seems like a downgrade from the 8 GB coming with the RTX 2060 Super"

Keep in mind the 2060 was always meant to be an addition to the 2060 lineup, not a replacement.

Honestly, I don't even think we might see the Super lineup again, so a 6 GB 3060 makes sense. If you need more VRAM, you could always go with the 3070.

3050 will likely get 4 GB VRAM. Which seems a bit low for Raytracing, but thanks to DX12 Ultimate Sampler Feedback and DirectStorage as well as RT optimizations, I assume its going to be fine.

The GTX 1600 series has no ray tracing support but it is considered part of the RTX 2000 series because it uses Turing SKUs.The RTX 3000 series will implement ray tracing support on all Ampere SKUs, including the ones replacing the GTX 1600 series.
