GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Benchmarks: Gaming Performance

Our colleagues at TechSpot published a massive review of the brand new GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The "budget" Ampere card is a real winner: the RTX 3060 Ti easily matches the previous near-flagship GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER while handily beating its predecessor, the RTX 2060 SUPER.

Here are a few benchmark charts of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti running at 1440p:

In recent titles like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Godfall, and Watch Dogs: Legion, the RTX 3060 Ti shows impressive results, beating the RTX 2080 SUPER and coming remarkably close to the much more expensive, power-hungry GeForce RTX 2080 Ti!

Next, let's look at the average performance charts for the RTX 3060 Ti across 18 games at resolutions ranging from 1080p to 4K:

The data shows that the RTX 3060 Ti doesn't lag far behind its bigger sister, the RTX 3070, effectively putting it on par with past heavyweights like the RTX 2080 SUPER, and occasionally even the RTX 2080 Ti!

Additionally, the TechSpot team tested the new card in Watch Dogs: Legion with ray tracing enabled:

Finally, they measured the power consumption of the new mid-range graphics card:

Power consumption-wise, the RTX 3060 Ti brings no real surprises: it's significantly more efficient than the RTX 2070 SUPER, while its TDP is practically identical to the more powerful RTX 3070.

Be sure to check out the full review on TechSpot! The team did a colossal job benchmarking an incredibly wide range of graphics cards, all the way from the GTX 980 Ti to the RTX 3090.

Ultimately, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is an excellent upgrade option for anyone currently running something like a GTX 1070/1080 or RX Vega 56/64 in their rig.

NVIDIA is basically offering RTX 2080 SUPER-class performance (or better) for $400, which is a very generous move by the Green Team. On top of a massive performance leap over those older GPUs, you also get to enjoy real-time ray tracing, which has practically become the new industry standard.
