The first custom GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards featuring the NVIDIA Ampere GA104 GPUs have been spotted. A few days ago, it was revealed that NVIDIA might use its scrap GA104 chips on RTX 3060 cards, and well, both GALAX & Gainward have now listed these cards, confirming that they do exist.

The two manufacturers have listed down their respective custom models of the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards featuring the NVIDIA GA104 GPU. The specific SKU is the NVIDIA GA104-150 and it's going to be the most cut-down variant of the GA104 chip that we have gotten so far. The chip has a maximum of 6144 CUDA cores so an RTX 3060 with 3584 CUDA cores will mean that almost 50% of the chip will be disabled. But that also means that those defective dies that aren't good enough for RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards aren't going to waste as more RTX 3060 GPUs will end up being produced for the gaming segment.
