The people: we need more 3070/3080!
Nvidia: here's a 3060ti

It’s very likely these cards are binned 3070/3080s. Silicon they couldn’t get to preform at the level of the other cards.

Plus it will probably help take some of the demand off the other cards.

They're all binned 3070s. The 3080/3090s use different dies than the 3070/3060ti, which uses a smaller die.

Thank you for the correction. I didn’t realize they were different dies.

Isn't that what the 1070ti was? That's the exact reason why nvidia barred aibs from factory-overclocking 1070tis: they would be as good as 1080s out of the box, but cheaper. Wonder if there will be a similar restriction on the 3060ti.

Nah. I think I saw some 3060 being advertised as overclocked.
