Built for 1080p and 1440p gaming

The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 3X 12G OC targets gamers who want smooth frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. Its 3584 CUDA cores and 12GB GDDR6 memory handle modern titles with ray tracing enabled. The 1807 MHz boost clock and 15 Gbps memory speed deliver responsive gameplay. A 170W thermal design power fits many existing builds.

Straightforward PCI Express 4.0 installation

Seat the card in a PCI Express 4.0 slot and connect a single 8-pin power cable. The triple-fan cooler occupies two slots, so verify case clearance beforehand. Driver installation is standard through NVIDIA software. The most common issue is forgetting the supplementary power connector, which prevents the card from posting.

PCI Express 4.0 and display limits

The PCI Express 4.0 interface provides high bandwidth on compatible motherboards and works on older versions at reduced speed. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors. These support up to 7680 x 4320 resolution and 4K at 120Hz on a single screen. Four simultaneous monitors are possible within this limit.
