12GB GDDR6 Gaming GPU

The MSI RTX 3060 GAMING 12G is a refurbished graphics card built on the Ampere architecture for 1080p and 1440p gaming. It delivers 3584 CUDA cores and a 1777 MHz boost clock backed by 12GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit interface. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 for modern title compatibility.

Compatibility Checklist

Verify your motherboard offers a PCI Express 4.0 slot for full bandwidth. Ensure the power supply meets the 550W recommendation and provides both a 6-pin and an 8-pin connector. Confirm the chassis can accommodate a dual-fan cooler and that the rear bracket has space for one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Build Integration

The 170W TDP fits mid-range builds without demanding extreme cooling capacity. Dual-fan thermal design keeps temperatures controlled while leaving room for CPU cooler clearance. Four display outputs drive multi-monitor setups up to 7680 x 4320 resolution. HDMI 2.1 enables high-refresh 4K panels and VR headsets without adapters.
