NVIDIA has introduced the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the first member of the RTX 3060 family, powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX.

Priced at $399, built on a PC gaming platform and featuring ray tracing and AI-powered DLSS, the RTX 3060 Ti is faster than the previous generation GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, priced at $699, and delivers 1080p and 1440p gameplay.

“We’re entering a massive holiday season with ray-traced effects coming to Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Watch Dogs: Legion and more,” says Matt Wuebbling, VP of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “There’s no better way for gamers to enjoy cutting-edge ray-traced games or powering through creative and productivity workflows than with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and the rest of the RTX 30 Series.”

The RTX 3060 Ti supports the trifecta of GeForce gaming innovations, including performance-accelerating and image quality (IQ)-enhancing NVIDIA DLSS (NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling), NVIDIA Reflex and NVIDIA Broadcast. Together with real-time ray tracing, they are the foundation of the GeForce gaming platform, which brings performance and features to games and gamers everywhere.

NVIDIA DLSS

Powered by dedicated AI processors on GeForce RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores, NVIDIA DLSS boosts frame rates while generating crisp game images and gives gamers the performance headroom to maximize ray-tracing settings and increase output resolutions. DLSS is available in more than 25 games, with more added every month.

Advanced GeForce Experience Features

All NVIDIA GeForce GPUs benefit from GeForce Experience, a tool used to optimize game settings, record and upload gameplay, stream gameplay, take screenshots and download and install Game Ready Drivers. The latest features include:

  • One-click automatic GPU Tuning: GeForce Experience now supports GPU Tuning, which can automatically create overclocking profiles by using an advanced scanning algorithm.
  • Enhanced in-game monitoring overlay: GeForce Experience’s already robust in-game overlay now adds performance stats, temperatures and latency metrics, including NVIDIA Reflex Latency Analyzer stats.

Where to Buy

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti will be available on Dec. 2, starting at $399, as custom boards, including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models, from top add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac and as a Founders Edition from NVIDIA. Look for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU at major retailers and etailers as well as in gaming systems by major manufacturers and leading system builders worldwide.

For a limited time in select countries, gamers who purchase a new GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU or system will receive a one-year subscription to the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming service.

Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%

Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
