GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12GB graphics card (rev. 2.0) (LHR)

12 GB GDDR6 192-Bit Memory

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12GB graphics card targets 1080p and 1440p gaming as well as entry-level creative workloads. Its NVIDIA Ampere architecture delivers 3584 CUDA cores and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit bus. The factory core clock reaches 1837 MHz while the effective memory clock runs at 15000 MHz. A PCI Express 4.0 interface and four display outputs support modern multi-monitor setups.

WINDFORCE 3X Cooling Alternate Spinning Fans

The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system uses three alternate-spinning fans to move air through a heatsink and metal backplate. At idle and light desktop loads the fans stop completely, eliminating noise. During typical gaming sessions the card runs at moderate temperatures while power draw follows the 3060 reference design. RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting adds optional visual customisation without affecting thermals.

Sustained Load Behaviour Boost Clock 1837 MHz

Under extended load the GPU maintains its 1837 MHz boost clock as the cooling assembly dissipates heat steadily. Fan speeds ramp gradually to keep core temperatures stable rather than spiking in short bursts. The 192-bit memory subsystem feeds texture and compute units consistently for long rendering or encode sessions. Outputs remain limited to two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a ports driving up to 7680 x 4320 resolution.
