NVIDIA said of the GeForce RTX 3060 in January 2021:
…you get twice the raster performance and 10x the ray tracing performance of the GeForce GTX 1060 – a massive increase. The GeForce RTX 3060 is built with a 192-bit bus, which allows us to equip this latest addition to the 3060 family with 12 GB of fast GDDR6 memory. The 12GB of faster GDDR6 also makes it a great choice for creators working with large datasets, models, and detailed scenes.
