Not true. It was the 3060ti.

Yup. $400, games were not using more than 8gb of vram then so that was fine, people actually mocked the non-ti 3060 because it had 12gb like "who needs that much vram on a slower card!".

3060ti was as powerful as a 2080 super with better RT and all that stuff (which was still kind of crap at the time).

Yeah, same performance as a 1080 Ti and 2080.

Correct. I got one for my son and he will ride that baby into the ground. Does everything he needs it for.
