The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card models were launched in 2021 with a 12GB GDDR6 memory model, and later in 2022 with an 8GB model.
It was seen as one of the most affordable graphics cards and powerful enough to run modern games in the era of COVID-19, but has now been replaced by more powerful offerings in the GeForce RTX 4000 series and now the GeForce RTX 5000.
However, the shortage of VRAM components for consumer-class gaming graphics cards now seems to be forcing NVIDIA to reintroduce this graphics card model to meet the needs and demands of gamers looking to build or buy a new gaming computer.
If true, it seems that NVIDIA is also not exempt from the issue of the lack of the latest VRAM components (GDDR7) needed to power the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 series graphics cards. The GeForce RTX 3060 model uses GDDR6 VRAM which is still widely available on the market and can be used to produce the RTX 3060 graphics card.
However, it is not yet known whether the model that will be brought back will come with a 12GB or 8GB offering or when it will be reintroduced if it is true that NVIDIA will start producing the graphics card again.
