[PC Games] MSI Launches GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X GPUs

[Jennie Kim,]

best graphics cards for gamers, so it's no wonder that MSI hasn't given up on it. The company (via HKEPC(opens in new tab)) has launched the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X 8GD6X in regular and factory-overclocked formats for the Chinese market.While the name may give off the vibes of an unreleased graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X 8GD6X is just a rewarmed GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X. Nvidia silently gave the regular GeForce RTX 3060 Ti a minor upgrade last year to bring the three-year-old GA104-based graphics card's memory up to the latest GDDR6X standard. Unfortunately, individual reviews have shown that the GDDR6X variant is only slightly faster than the original. Nonetheless, both versions continue to exist, although many retailers are dominantly carrying the newer GDDR6X version.The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Super 3X 8GD6X evidently sports MSI's distinctive Suprim cooler with vibrant RGB lighting (the big Suprim logo is on the backplate if there is any doubt). Strangely enough, the company preferred to market the Ampere-powered card as the "Super 3X", which refers to the triple-fan cooling solution. The Suprim series used to be MSI's exclusive lineup for the top models only, so it's weird to see it on a mainstream GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The only explanation we can think of is that MSI must have a lot of inventory for Suprim coolers that it needs to get rid of, one way or another.
