The fact that Nvidia is expanding the Geforce RTX 3000 series with more graphics memory is once again strengthened by the graphics card maker Galax, reports overclocking.com (via Techpowerup). During a meeting with distributors in China, Galax presents a set of upcoming graphics cards, where the already launched Geforce RTX 3080 is listed in a version with 20 GB of graphics memory. The presentation also lists RTX 3070 and RTX 3060, but does not provide any specifications for these.

It follows that Gigabyte recently unveiled specifications for the Geforce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 line-up. the model. Geforce RTX 3070 takes the step up from 8 GB to 16 GB, and not yet official Geforce RTX 3060 is stated to get the same 8 GB that RTX 3070 is launched with.

However, a gap in the Galaxy product list also suggests that previous rumors of an upgraded Geforce RTX 3070 may be included in the lineup. The model listed under the name “PG142 SKU 0” could potentially be the model that in leaked data was called both Geforce RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3070 Super. It is this model that is said to have 16 GB of graphics memory.

However, Galaxy product planning does not specify dates for when the upgraded models can be expected to reach the market. As Nvidia is struggling to get enough copies of the Geforce RTX 3080 and also just launched the Geforce RTX 3090 in the autumn of 2020, upgraded variants should be part of the 2021 product launches.
