Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti?

At 1440p (Ultra High), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti averages 123 fps in F1 2022 with a 84 fps 1% low, per GPU Battle. For local LLM inference it generates 863.0 tokens/sec running deepseekr1:32b at q8_0 under ollama, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 30,706 points, per KitGuru. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 7B-parameter models at Q4.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
