ASUS KO-RTX3060-O12G-V2-GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 12GB graphics card

12GB GDDR6 for 1080p and 1440p

This refurbished ASUS KO-RTX3060-O12G-V2-GAMING graphics card delivers 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit interface with 3584 CUDA cores. It targets gamers and creators who need smooth frame rates at 1080p and playable performance at 1440p. The Ampere architecture provides DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 support for modern titles and applications. Dual fans keep the 170W TDP card cool under load.

Step up from 6GB or 8GB cards

Moving from a 6GB or 8GB GPU to this 12GB model removes VRAM bottlenecks in texture-heavy games and creative workloads. The 15 Gbps effective memory clock and 1852 MHz gaming boost clock (1882 MHz in OC mode) lift minimum frame rates versus older mid-range cards. The jump is worth it when current VRAM limits cause stutter or force texture quality down at 1440p. PCI Express 4.0 interface ensures full bandwidth on compatible platforms.

Check PSU, slot and case clearance

Verify your power supply meets the 650W recommendation and has one free 8-pin PCIe connector for the card. The board installs into a PCI Express 4.0 slot and occupies two expansion brackets with its dual-fan cooler. Confirm your chassis length and width allow a full-height, dual-slot design. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a outputs support up to 7680 x 4320 resolution across four monitors.
