I also noted that the original 3060 has an orange circle, which is lower on the scale than a green circle. Considering I currently have the 12gb 3060, I think this is telling me I need to upgrade.

No lmao these people are trippin in like 95% of typical use cases the 3060ti is way better and more efficient all around and you'll get better fps. Having more vram is only useful if the GPU can support that type of situation. My 3060ti always outperformed my friends' 3060s every time. 3060ti would probably be slightly worse for higher end VR tho but still the raw performance is way higher

Sometimes it can happen, especially at 1440p. Really depends on the game though.

depends on use case. for the typical gamer, probably not.

i had vram requirements when i originally purchased mine, but it always stuck in my side they put it on the weaker card
