Thats what I said but its showing 12gb VRAM
Randomly saw a post on another forum about a competitor having one, went over and noticed they had several models in stock and have managed to place an order. We shall see what happens but hopefully that's a family member's new computer sorted once the processors are delivered in the next week or two.
Now if only I could get a 3080 for myself!

Yes, two versions when it comes to VRAM, 6Gb and 12Gb just like there have been 2Gb+4Gb(GTX 960) and 3GB+6Gb(GTX1060, RTX2060) models in the past for **106.
The higher end version always has twice the vram and releasing the 3060 with less than 6Gb would be a disaster.
not necessarily if it is aimed at the 1080p market.
Absolutely, 6GB 3060 for around £299 would be a great 1080p card.
Is there much spread in performance across the AIB cards or is it similar as the other tiers where you're paying a ton more for overclock gains you'd need to benchmark to notice and maybe 1dB less fan noise?
Honestly mate, 3080 is overkill unless you have Intel 10th gen or AMD 5000 series CPU. I sold mine to CeX for the price I paid for it. 3070 or lower is better bang for buck.
The sku with less ram has half the amount for technical reasons. If Nvidia went for 4Gb+8Gb, you may get away with 4Gb with an older cards but not with the setting people will want to run on a RTX3060 at.
There is good money to be made with a 12GB 3060, many people will buy who do not need that much VRAM but still pay the premium,
It will not hamper sales of higher end cards if rumours are true and Nvidia are rushing the Ti variants of the high end cards to the market.
No lack of stock will do that.
absolutely crazy when we dont have stock of what they have released so far.
Its like one dept in Nvidia is continuing along as though nothing is wrong releasing card after card when the supply chain is gasping for breath.
If AMD and Nvidia have roughly the same degree of supply issues Nvidia will still want to be competitive at all price points.
Nvidia have had a monopoly in recent years they do not want AMD getting a foothold, we know how ruthless they are. It looks bad when AMD cards have way more VRAM.
With the supply shortage it's even more important they get the low end cards out there to use silicon that does not make the cut for high end cards.
And of of course Nvidia will be more focused on the whole generation of ampere not just the current shortage.
Plenty of stock for almost an hour and a half.
Hour and a half, that long and now that will be it for year.
The 3080 would be for my new build which is currently waiting on a 5900X to be delivered within the next week or so. Gaming is at 3440x1440.

3070 doesn't really cut it with RTX on in Cyberpunk at 3440x1400. I'd rather have had a 3080 too.
£9.90
