PNY Technologies, Inc. VCG30608DFBPB1 GeForce RTX 3060 8GB graphics card

8GB GDDR6 graphics card

The PNY VCG30608DFBPB1 is a refurbished GeForce RTX 3060 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-Bit bus. It delivers 3584 CUDA cores with a 1320 MHz base clock and a 1777 MHz boost clock. The PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface connects to a modern motherboard. It suits gamers and creators targeting 1080p or entry-level 1440p workloads.

Upgrade from 6GB or older 128-Bit GPUs

Replacing a 6GB card or an earlier 128-Bit model adds 2GB of frame buffer and the newer RTX 30 Series architecture. The jump is worthwhile when current titles exceed 6GB at your chosen settings or when you need HDMI 2.1 for a high-refresh 4K display. The 170W TDP and 450W PSU recommendation keep the power budget modest for a mid-range refresh.

Check PCIe slot PSU and case length

Verify your motherboard has a full-size PCIe x16 slot wired for 4.0 or 3.0 operation. Confirm the power supply meets the 450W recommendation and provides the required 8-pin connector. Measure clearance for the 247 mm card length and ensure the dual-slot bracket fits your chassis. The card offers one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs for up to four monitors.
