NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3080 Refresh May Launch This Winter
According to @Hongxing2020 on Twitter, a refresh of the GeForce RTX 3060, RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 could be on the horizon. These cards would be outfitted with higher memory capacities, with the most significant upgrades going to the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 Ti. Hongxing believes the 3060 refresh will pack 12GB of memory, and the RTX 3070 Ti will feature 16GB - effectively doubling the amount of memory for both cards. The RTX 3080, on the other hand, will only feature a small bump in VRAM capacity, up to 12GB. This will upgrade the RTX 3080 to the same memory capacity as its bigger brother, the RTX 3080 Ti.
The leaker believes the RTX 3060 refresh will launch on December 7th, with the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 following suit a bit later on January 11th.
Please keep in mind these are rumors, so take these results with a grain of salt as always!
Perhaps the most interesting card of the bunch is the RTX 3060; This card, in particular, has been rumored to feature a 12GB memory upgrade for nearly a year by now (according to Videocardz). It seems strange that Nvidia would upgrade a card from 2019, however in light of the current graphics card shortage we're experiencing. Upgrading an RTX 3060 to 12GB of VRAM might not be such a bad idea.
