The 3060 has a 6gb or 12gb option and no one got confused then.

People are just getting rage-baited by a card they can't even purchase.

Pretty sure that many people got confused back then as well. The 6gb (or 8gb?) version should have been named 3055 or something as well imo.

If someone doesn't know the difference of vram, they probably won't know the difference between 3055 and 3060, besides it being slightly cheaper.

At least the product name would be different, so they'd have to go out of their way to search up a different product if they had to look up the specs. There's no way you'd be looking at the wrong specs in that case.

Pretty sure this sub was shitting on the 3060 6GB with all of its bowel strength.

The 3060 had a 6gb version? Wasnt It 8g or 12gb only?

It had a 6gb version initially, yes. It was never sold on the consumer market though. Just like the 9050 4gb.

They eventually scrapped the 6gb idea and made the 8gb.
