NVIDIA’s Updated GeForce RTX 3070 Ti & RTX 3060 Cards Show Up in Latest Drivers

NVIDIA’s Updated GeForce RTX 3070 Ti & RTX 3060 Cards Show Up in Latest Drivers

NVIDIA isn’t done with the GeForce RTX 30 Series yet.

The new graphics driver from NVIDIA — the 522.25 Game Ready driver — was launched today to fully unleash the potential of the RTX 4090 graphics card. What was unexpected was support added to three unreleased but rumored RTX 30 series cards, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with GA102 GPU, the RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, and also the RTX 3060 with 8 GB memory.

VideoCardz was made aware of this discovery by one of their readers ("westlake"), which brought about an investigation into the nv_dispig.inf file, which lists all of the device IDs in the latest graphics driver update.
The three new device IDs added to the file from today's update are:


  • NVIDIA_DEV.2207
  • NVIDIA_DEV.24C9
  • NVIDIA_DEV.2544

NVIDIA_DEV.2207 is about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti from the GA102 GPU series, NVIDIA_DEV.24C9 is for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with the GDDR6X memory from Micron, and the NVIDIA_DEV.2544 is for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with a meager 8GB of onboard memory.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 8 GB of Memory Released, Features 128-bit Memory Bus

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 8 GB of Memory Released, Features 128-bit Memory Bus

As opposed to the 192-bit memory bus of the 12 GB version.

NVIDIA is rolling out its late GeForce RTX 30 series update. Just days after ASUS announced its RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X, a different board partner has just confirmed another product, the RTX 3060 with 8GB memory.

We recently reported that NVIDIA is planning to introduce the updated RTX 3060 series by the end of October. However, due to the mess surrounding the ‘unlaunching’ of GeForce RTX 4080 12GB, board partners were no longer sure about the release date. Turns out, NVIDIA kept their original schedule and both RTX 3060 models are now listed by different AIBs.

As for the card itself, it’s a copy of their RTX 3060 LHR model with 12GB VRAM. It is the same dual-slot and dual-fan design with reference specs, which are the same for both SKUs. The only difference is that 8GB memory is attached to a 128-bit memory bus, not 192-bit. This means that the bandwidth has been reduced from 360 GB/s to 240 GB/s.

NVIDIA Officially Introduces GeForce RTX 3060 8GB and RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X

NVIDIA Officially Introduces GeForce RTX 3060 8GB and RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X

NVIDIA isn’t done with the GeForce RTX 30 Series yet.

Official support for the new RTX 3060 series arrives today. NVIDIA has just released a new driver with support for two RTX 3060 models. Both cards were introduced this week by select board partners. Interestingly, the official announcement does not include RTX 3070 Ti with GA102 GPU.

GeForce RTX 3060 gets a new 8GB variant with 128-bit memory bus. This model has identical specs in terms of clocks and TDP, but the bandwidth is limited to 240 GB/s. That’s a loss of 120 GB/s, so probably impactful for high-fidelity gaming. This card comes with Ampere GA106 GPU equipped with 3584 CUDA cores.

The RTX 3060 Ti will now be available with GDDR6X memory, so essentially going the opposite way. New memory increases the bandwidth to 608 GB/s. The configuration of the GA104 GPU has not changed, and this model will still feature 4864 CUDA cores. The GDDR6X upgrade only applies to the memory type, but the capacity remains the same at 8GB across 256-bit.

A 3080 for 500 smokes is best deal out now. Anyone spending more or less than this is not doing themselves Justice.
