12GB GDDR6 192-bit memory

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC is a refurbished graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. It features 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory connected via a 192-bit interface running at 15000 MHz. The card uses a PCI Express 4.0 interface and draws power through a single 8-pin connector with a 170W TDP.

Suits 1080p and 1440p gaming builds

This card suits builders targeting high-refresh 1080p or entry 1440p gaming on a 450W power supply. The 12GB frame buffer helps with modern titles and light creative workloads. Users chasing 4K high-refresh performance or multi-GPU scaling should look elsewhere, as SLI is not supported and the 192-bit bus limits memory throughput at higher resolutions.

192-bit memory interface width

The 192-bit memory interface is the specification that decides fit. It delivers lower bandwidth than wider designs, capping performance at 4K while keeping power draw at 170W. Pair it with a 450W PSU and a case that clears 282 mm length and 2-slot width for a balanced mid-range build.

Questions about this item

Will the 282 mm length and 2-slot width fit inside my ATX case?

The card measures 282 mm long and occupies two expansion slots, so verify your case clearance and motherboard spacing before ordering.

Does the single 8-pin connector plug directly into a 450 W PSU, or do I need an adapter?

Connect the included 8-pin PCIe cable from a 450 W or larger power supply; no adapter is required if your PSU has a native 8-pin output.

How often should I clean the three WINDFORCE fans to keep temperatures stable?

Remove dust from the three alternate-spinning fans every three to six months using compressed air to maintain the WINDFORCE 3X cooling performance.
