Ampere to any wallet. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card introduced for $ 330
Nvidia today officially unveiled the newest and most affordable Ampere graphics card – the GeForce RTX 3060. The novelty replaced the GeForce GTX 1060 and GeForce RTX 2060: the company understands that the GTX 1060, despite its age, is still quite popular in gaming environment.
At the same time, the graph above clearly demonstrates that the performance of the GTX 1060 no longer stands up to criticism if you want to play modern games with normal graphics settings. GeForce RTX 3060 is also not a performance record holder, but DLSS activation allows you to keep the level of 60 FPS or slightly higher for many popular games, including Cyberpunk 2077.
The GeForce RTX 3060 is built on the GA106 GPU and delivers 13 TFLOPS in single precision operations and up to 35 TFLOPS in real-time ray tracing. The video card received 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, which is even 2 GB more than the GeForce RTX 3080. The memory bus width is 192 bits.
The novelty will go on sale at the end of February at a price of $ 330. Judging by the picture published by Nvidia, the company’s partners are already preparing a lot of different versions of the RTX 3060: both more compact with two fans, and large ones with three “propellers”.

Not as thick as new Nvidia graphics cards. Non-Reference XFX RX 7900 XT Merc 310 Image Revealed
XFX will offer non-reference 3D cards of the Radeon RX 7000 line. Images of the RX 7900 XT Merc 310 model have already appeared on the Web, but we can safely assume that there will also be a similar-looking RX 7900 XTX Merc 310.
The card is made in the usual XFX design. It is very long, but not the thickest by modern standards. It will probably take up less than three expansion slots.
You can also highlight three power connectors (8 + 8 + 8) and the absence of a USB-C port, which is available on new generation AMD reference adapters.
Recall that the RX 7900 will be launched on December 13th. On the same day, reviews of new AMD products will be published. If the new 3D cards prove to be very successful for their prices, Nvidia can reduce the price of the GeForce RTX 4080, because it is 20% more expensive than the top RX 7900 XTX.

Intel graphics cards are drastically faster in some older games. Intel has worked on support for DirectX 9
Intel Arc graphics cards, among other things, have rather mediocre performance in older games. But today the company has released a fresh driver that significantly changes the situation, although not in all games.
The company has worked on optimization for some specific games, adding native support for DirectX 9. In particular, it is important to note Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, in which the performance of Arc adapters increased by almost 80%. The company has also worked on the 1% percentile, increasing the rate by up to 2.3 times, which should make the gameplay smoother.
Not all old games have received an impressive performance boost, but Intel can still be commended for continuing to work on its accelerators.
Rumors that the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB video card, canceled right before the release, will return under the name GeForce RTX 4070 Ti have been fully confirmed. Colorful has completely declassified the RTX 4070 Ti BattleAx Deluxe 3D card, and its specs are exactly the same as those of the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB.
Although the cooler is different from the cooler that Nvidia equips its video cards with, the Colorful RTX 4070 Ti BattleAx Deluxe is the reference model in everything else. It is built on the AD104 GPU and has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a frequency of 21 GHz. The base frequency of the GPU is 2310 MHz.
There is only one connector for connecting additional power – a 16-pin one, to which GeForce RTX 4090 users have a lot of complaints. However, the consumption of the RTX 4070 Ti is significantly lower, so it is hardly worth worrying about the melting of the connectors in this case. Colorful doesn’t specify the number of CUDA cores, but it should be 7680, which is exactly what Nvidia claimed for the RTX 4080 12 GB.
According to preliminary data, sales of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will start on January 5, immediately after the formal official premiere on January 3.
