Nvidia has launched its most affordable GPU in the new RTX 3000-series and it's called the RTX 3060. 

It's officially priced at $329 which is approximately Rs 29,000, making it one of the most affordable new GPUs with Ray-Tracing capabilities.

With this GPU, Nvidia is clearly targeting the people who are upgrading from the GeForce GTX-series to get their first taste of Ray-tracing. 

It's not really a surprise because the XX60 card has traditionally sold well for Nvidia and we expect this to do good numbers for them.

Compared to the older GTX 1060, Nvidia says the RTX 3060 can deliver twice the performance and 10x the ray-tracing performance. With this affordable card, gamers can even expect to play modern titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and get good frames with ray-tracing enabled.

The best about the RTX 3060 is that it uses the same Ampere architecture as its beefier siblings. 

It also comes with next-gen RT and Tensor cores for ray-tracing and AI acceleration, including DLSS resolution upscaling.

The RTX 3060 also features 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. 

The VRAM is higher than RTX 3080's 10GB, however, it'll be running on a lower bandwidth overall. It'll be interesting to see how the GPU performs against the other RTX 3000-series cards. 

We're so excited to find out the best value for money card for the gamers who are on a budget. We'll definitely have more to talk about the new GPU soon so keep your eyes peeled.
