Genesis Cloud goes NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 Ti: “Get the most performance per dollar”
As we set up our second data center in Southern Norway, we also introduce a new GPU instance type for that location: the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 Ti. For almost the same price as the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti, this GPU type offers more power and better technology. Some facts in a nutshell:
NVIDIA architecture:
- Compared to the outdated pascal architecture (from 2016) of the GTX 1080 Ti, the RTX 3060 Ti offers a better performance using Ampere Architecture (from 2021).
Memory type:
-
The GTX 1080 Ti comes with GDDR5X memory, so the RTX 3060 Ti is equipped with GDDR6.
-
That means an increase of performance by a 50% margin in almost all performance metrics compared to the GDDR5X. Plus an increase in speed (1750 MHz compared to 1376 MHz).
CUDA Cores:
- Here, the RTX 3060 Ti offers more parallel processes with 6864 CUDA cores compared to 3584 from the GTX 1080 Ti.
Clock Speed:
- This is probably the most significant difference between the RTX 3060 Ti and the GTX 1080 Ti. The 1080 Ti has a base clock of 1480 MHz, compared to the 3060 Ti’s base clock of 1.41 GHz. While the boost clock of the 1080 Ti performs at 1582 MHz, the 3060 Ti is much faster here, with a boost clock of 1.67 GHz.
Find all technical information on the RTX 3060 Ti summarized here. Like all our other instances, the 3060 Ti is powered by 100% renewable energy as we stay true to our values. Please consider when you create a new instance that the RTX 3060 Ti is only available in Norway and starts at $0.65 per hour. Find all information for pricing here.
2022 is all about acceleration.
Besides reaching the significant milestone of opening a second data center location in Norway and introducing the RTX 3060 Ti to our available GPU stock, we are also working on some great features, accelerating team collaboration and a fast way of getting started.
Stay tuned and keep accelerating 🚀
