NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics Card (12GB GDDR6) PNY XLR8
£264.99
Product Description
Product Overview
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 is built on the Ampere architecture and targets high‑performance 1080p and 1440p gaming while also offering solid rendering and AI capabilities for creators. 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. Designed 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.
