With a 12 GB GDDR6 memory pool, the card provides ample bandwidth for modern titles that demand large texture footprints and high frame rates. The 192‑bit memory interface, combined with a 15 Gbps memory clock, delivers up to 360 GB\/s of bandwidth, ensuring smooth performance in texture‑heavy environments and reducing stutter in demanding workloads. Its 170 W total board power makes it a relatively power‑efficient solution for a mid‑range GPU, and the recommended 550 W power supply gives ample headroom for system stability.\n\nDesigned for gamers who want to push high settings at 1440p or maintain ultra‑high frame rates at 1080p, the RTX 3060 also excels in creative applications. The 112 third‑generation Tensor Cores accelerate AI‑enhanced features such as DLSS 2, while the 28 second‑generation RT Cores enable real‑time ray tracing with manageable performance impact. The card’s support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort 1.4a ensures compatibility with the latest monitors and consoles, making it a versatile choice for both PC builds and e‑sports rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Hardware Capabilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture \u0026amp; Execution Units:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ampere (Samsung 8nm) silicon with 3,584 CUDA cores, 28 Streaming Multiprocessors, 112 Tensor Cores (3rd Gen) and 28 RT Cores (2nd Gen) delivering strong rasterisation, AI, and ray‑tracing performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMemory Subsystem:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192‑bit bus, 15 Gbps effective memory speed, 3 MB L2 cache and a total bandwidth of 360 GB\/s, providing fast data access for high‑resolution textures and large frame buffers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClock Speeds \u0026amp; Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Base clock 1,320 MHz, boost clock up to 1,777 MHz, 170 W TDP, and a recommended 550 W PSU to ensure stable operation under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModern Feature Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e DirectX 12 Ultimate, DLSS 2 (Super Resolution), 7th‑Gen NVENC H.265 encoder, 5th‑Gen AV1 decode, 3× DisplayPort 1.4a, 1× HDMI 2.1, and PCIe 4.0 x16 interface for maximum throughput.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications (Generic RTX 3060 — 12GB)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmpere (Samsung 8nm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStream Processors \/ CUDA Cores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,584\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClock Speeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase: 1,320 MHz | Boost: 1,777 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVRAM Capacity \u0026amp; Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 GB GDDR6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory Interface Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192‑bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfinity Cache \/ Memory Bandwidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— | 360 GB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 W Total Board Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"PNY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57557895151991,"sku":"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Card (12GB GDDR6) PNY XLR8","price":264.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/9617\/3943\/files\/RTX306_1.jpg?v=1791995476","url":"https:\/\/pcpowerup.co.uk\/products\/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060-graphics-card-12gb-gddr6-pny-xlr8","provider":"PC Power Up","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
