![]() When we go back and compare that to the RTX 2060 and the GTX 1060 though you can see how big of a jump it is still. This took the number of CUDA cores down from 4864 to 3584. As far as the GPU goes, the RTX 3060 is significantly smaller than the RTX 3060 Ti, the Ti has 38 SMs where the RTX 3060 has 28. Below I have put together the specifications of the RTX 3060 along with the RTX 3060 Ti that sits above it in the current product stack and then I have the original RTX 2060 and the GTX 1060 as well because those are the cards that I imagine people will be upgrading from the most and that the RTX 3060 replaces. So the RTX 3060 is based on NVidia's Ampere architecture, just like the rest of their 3000 series of cards has been but they did make a few changes. But Nvidia’s reaction does show just how important the RTX 3060 is. ![]() Will Nvidia’s actions with the driver, firmware, and silicon to limit hash rates help and show gamers some relief? Well, it is only Ethereum specific and from what I understand doesn’t stop other coins so we will have to wait and see. The GTX 1060 has dropped 1.61% over the past five months and that is even before the new 3000 series of cards has its new non-Ti x圆0 model. That is a lot of people who wanted great performance at a good value and a lot of those have been on the market for a new card for a while. Those four cards alone are 25.49% of the entire market share. Not to mention the RTX 2060 rounding out the top 5 at 3.72%. ![]() The GTX 1050 Ti is right behind the 1060 with 7.07% of the market and the slightly newer GTX 1650 is sitting at 4.95% as well. Just looking at the Steam hardware survey the GTX 1060 still tops the charts with 9.75% of steam users still running the 1060 which came out 5 years ago this July. Today I’m going to check out the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black and see how the new GPU performs in EVGAs more compact dual-fan SFF friendly design.īefore getting into the RTX 3060 I wanted to touch a little more on why the x圆0 cards are so important. This is extremely important because the RTX 3060 follows up the RTX 2060 and the GTX 1060 which were huge sellers. Nvidia has already put miners on notice that they are taking firmware and software action to limit mining performance, at least with Etherium with the hope that their new cards can get into gamer's hands. Well, today is the big day for the new Nvidia RTX 3060 which was announced back in January. ![]() Big jumps in cryptocurrencies have brought mining back in vogue as well which has exacerbated things as well. The video card market has been a little like groundhog day for four or five months now with card demand being through the roof and availability being limited. ![]()
