Why does 3060 have 12gb and 3060 ti have 8gb?
The actual reason is that the 3060 was originally engineered to use 6GB of VRAM, not 12, but since almost all of AMD's RX products had more VRAM at a given price than Nvidia counterparts, Nvidia just decided to up the size of VRAM chips on the 3060 from 1GB to 2GB per die, resulting in this ridiculous piece of tech ...

Is rtx 3060 12gb better than rtx 3060 ti 8gb?
Despite having 8GB VRAM and a lower boost clock, the RTX 3060 Ti offers better performance. One reason is that the RTX 3060 has a smaller and slower memory bus than the RTX 3060 Ti. This means data exchange takes longer on the 3060, translating to lower overall memory bandwidth for the GPU.

Does 12gb ram make difference from 8gb?
The same rule applies to the physical memory, 8GB can access less amount of data as compared to 12GB memory. If you are dealing with heavy tasks, for example, graphics designing, gaming, animation, or video rendering, then a 12GB module would take a huge amount of load off your CPU as compared to an 8GB module.

Why does rtx 3060 have 12gb?
What's up with the cheaper RTX 3060 having 12GB of VRAM? They went with the cheaper 192-bit memory interface, instead of 256-bit like in the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. This means they need to use 6 chips (since each memory chip provides 32 bits width). So they either had to go with 6 GB (6 x 1 GB) or 12 GB (6 x 2 GB).
