Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB reportedly making a comeback

Nvidia is reportedly planning to reintroduce the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card this June According to recent reports, the company will resume production of the Ampere-based SKU on Samsung's 8nm node to address the budget market segment.

According to MEGAsizeGPU (via VideoCardz), the 192-bit memory bus version of the RTX 3060 is said to be resuming production, featuring 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory.

Resuming production on Samsung's 8nm node would allow Nvidia to utilise established foundry capacity while reserving TSMC's 5nm-class nodes for Blackwell and Ada Lovelace architectures. The design of the RTX 3060 is linked to the Samsung 8N process, which Nvidia used throughout the Ampere generation.

KitGuru says: In 2026, would you recommend an RTX 3060 as an entry-level GPU for someone building a cheap gaming PC?
