NVIDIA Revives RTX 3060 12GB for Budget Gamers - tech
(hx) 11:54 PM CEST - Apr,17 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
NVIDIA is reportedly restarting production of its 2021 GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU, with new stock expected to hit stores in June 2026. The move comes after the planned launch of the newer RTX 5050 9GB model was delayed, creating a gap in the entry-level market. While the Ampere-based card lacks the latest ray tracing, DLSS advancements, and AI features of newer generations, its 12GB VRAM makes it a reliable and affordable option for budget builds. Additionally, the decision to use a two-generations-old GPU architecture in 2026 is puzzling, as the reason NVIDIA has chosen the RTX 3060 instead of a newer model like the RTX 4060 remains unclear. Speculatively, it could be because the RTX 4060 is based on the same NVIDIA 4N (5 nm-class) node at TSMC as the current RTX 5060, while the RTX 3060, along with the rest of the GeForce "Ampere" generation, is built on the Samsung 8N (8 nm DUV) foundry node. This would leave the 5 nm capacity for "Blackwell" and its enterprise variants.

No surprises here - the 4060 sucked, and 3060 was a great card, all it lacked was memory.
But tell me, how is it going to be for budget gamers with these memory prices?
