At the same time as AMD, NVIDIA held its own event at the CES 2021 online exhibition: Jensen Huang’s team announced the GeForce RTX 3060 desktop graphics card based on the GA106 8nm GPU, and also announced a line of 3D accelerators. generation Ampere for gaming laptops.
GeForce RTX 3060 – Amp for the masses!
In the manufacturer’s range, the GeForce RTX 3060 will rank one notch below the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, making it the most affordable model of the current generation of Ampere. The MSRP for the USA (excluding tax) is $ 329 and for Ukraine it is 12990 hryvnia.
NVIDIA is positioning RTX 3060 as a changer GTX 1060, which to this day tops the list of the most popular graphics cards of Steam users. Highlights the new model double the performance and 10 times the ray tracing speed of GTX 1060.
In the GeForce RTX 3060 arsenal, built on the basis of the GA106-300 GPU, there are 3,584 CUDA cores, 112 tensioner cores, 28 RT cores, 112 texture units (TMU), 64 raster operations units (ROP), as well as 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with 192-bit interface and 408 GB / s bandwidth. The power consumption (total graphics power indicator) of the video card in standard mode is approximately 170 watts.
GPU base frequency – 1320 MHz boost – 1777 MHz. Acting is 13 TFLOP in shading operations, 25 TFLOP: in ray tracing and 101 TFLOP: in tensor core operations for NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology.
The RTX 30 series desktop adapter (amps) line now looks like this:

The GeForce RTX 3060 will go on sale at the end of February and will only be available in partner versions.even from ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit and Zotac.
GeForce RTX 3000 for gaming laptops
Similar to the RTX 2000 series, in the first wave of next-generation 3D accelerators for laptops – three models: GeForce RTX 3060, RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 8GB / 16GB. All feature 2nd gen RT cores, 3rd gen tensioner cores and support the full range of desktop sibling capabilities, including DLSS 2.1, hardware accelerated ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex for latency reduction, RTX IO, and NVIDIA Studio. to accelerate and optimize demanding applications for content creators.
In addition, the mobile GeForce RTX 30 series, like desktop siblings, support the technology Resizable BAR – the promised analog of AMD SAM, which is part of the PCI Express specification. Remember that this technology synchronizes the CPU and GPU, giving the processor direct access to video memory to increase performance. Paired with an Intel CPU, it will provide an increase of up to 10%.
The mobile versions differ from their desktop counterparts not only in operating frequencies and TGP, but also in GPU settings.
For your convenience, we have summarized the parameters of the new GeForce RTX 30 series mobile adapters in a table.
| # Of CUDA cores | GPU base frequency, MHz | GPU frequency in Boost mode, MHz | Power consumption TGP, W | GDDR6 memory capacity, GB | Memory bus width, bit | Memory bandwidth, GB / s | |
| GeForce RTX 3080 | 6144 | 1245 | 1710 | 80-150 + | 16/8 | 256 | 384 |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | 5120 | 1290 | 1620 | 80-125 | 8 | 256 | 384 |

The first laptops with graphics accelerators in the GeForce RTX 30 series will go on sale after January 26. In the near future, many manufacturers will announce new laptops, including Acer, Alienware, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo and M: YES… Laptops will also be available through local hardware manufacturers and system builders.
Pricing for RTX 3060 laptops that will be more powerful than current RTX 2080 models (the manufacturer declares 90 fps in the latest games with ultra settings in 1080p) will start at UAH 36,599. RTX 3070 Models (90 fps with ultra settings in 1440p) will cost from 49,999 hryvnia, and the best at RTX 3080 (more than 100 fps in ultra settings in 1440p) – from 73 399 hryvnia.
