GIGABYTE RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12GB

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12GB is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It delivers 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit interface for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

Check PCI Express 4.0 slot and power

Your motherboard needs a PCI Express 4.0 slot; the card will also run in a 3.0 slot at reduced bandwidth. Verify that your power supply has the required 8-pin connectors and enough wattage for the board. Ensure your case length and height clearances match the card's dimensions.

WINDFORCE 3X cooling and RGB Fusion 2.0

The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system uses alternate spinning fans and a metal back plate to manage thermals. RGB Fusion 2.0 provides addressable lighting control through GIGABYTE software. Drivers support DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 for modern titles.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the GV-N3060GAMING OC-12GD and what must I buy separately?

The card includes the WINDFORCE 3X cooler with alternate spinning fans, a metal back plate and RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting. You must supply a PCIe 4.0 slot, adequate case clearance and a power supply with the required PCIe power connectors.

How do I decide between the 12GB GDDR6 version and other capacities?

This model is only offered with 12GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, so there is no capacity choice to make. The 12GB frame buffer suits 1080p and 1440p gaming workloads.

What does the 1837 MHz core clock mean once the card is installed?

1837 MHz is the rated boost clock; actual frequency will vary with temperature, power limit and workload. The 3584 CUDA cores and 15000 MHz effective memory clock determine real-world throughput.
