## Overview

The MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB is a dedicated graphics card built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, featuring 1710 MHz GPU clock speed, 12GB of fast GDDR6 memory, and support for up to 8K resolution. Equipped with dual Torx fans and multiple modern display outputs, it delivers consistent, quiet performance ideal for both high-end gaming and demanding CUDA compute workloads.

## Description

The GeForce RTX 3060 lets you take on the latest games using the power of Ampere, NVIDIA's 2nd generation RTX architecture. Get incredible performance with enhanced Ray Tracing Cores and Tensor Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and high-speed G6 memory.

Review: Fast for CUDA, tons of memory, can be used as a secondary "compute-only" card - I run a version of Linux and while I love my AMD card, and despite having very good GPU compute benchmarks, it is a pain to get ROCM working and many CUDA programs do not support it directly or indirectly. I'm stuck using either OpenCL or PyTorch for ROCM. SO, I paid a bit to get this Nvidia card. I use it in parallel with my AMD card, where the AMD card is plugged into the monitor and it runs 2d and games, and the Nvidia card sits idle much of the time. However, any time I need to run any CUDA code, it's very easy to do so. This is working very well for almost everything. The only issue is that Davinci Resolve is a bit finicky about it until you change some things. Also, for such setup you need a modern, beefy PSU with two full PCI-E/GPU power connectors. So my review isn't really about playing games. For CUDA, this card is quite fast and it has a ton of memory, which is very useful for certain code. Some stuff I've used actually uses 8-10GB of memory, so the 12GB is perfect for me. The TDP is high at 170W but it never runs full-speed at the same time as my AMD GPU so it's fine. It's either/or. The specs are CUDA Cores: 3,584, RT Cores: 28, Tensor Cores: 112. On paper it's not the "fastest" Nvidia card in this class (has a bit fewer cores than some), but it has more memory than some comparably-priced cards which makes it overall more useful, to me anyway. When certain compute loads (like Sammieroto) are running on my CPU, they can take over an hour. On my RDNA2 AMD card, they took maybe 10 minutes (again, Pytorch ROCM isn't quite "there" yet). On this card, they take maybe 3-5 minutes or something. It's pretty amazing.
Review: overall good gpu - works as intended and has drastically improved my performance. very consistent performance and the its not as noisy as i thought. so far no crashes with video quality. very good and recommend for a solid pc build

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many watts does it require/use?  Power supply recommendation?**
A: The recommended power supply wattage for the RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC is 550W. The listed power consumption is listed as 170W.

**Q: Metal backplate?**
A: The RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC does come with a metal backplate.

**Q: I see it only has 1 hdmi port and my 2 monitors only work with hdmi. may i use an adapter for the displayports?**
A: Yes, you may use an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter to connect your monitors. Please note that you may experience issues achieving higher refresh rates using an HDMI connection.

**Q: Is this LHR?**
A: LHR for mining is 100% now.

All 3060's are LHR, label or not... it's irrelevent now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ overall good gpu
*by J***Z on January 23, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly satisfactory gaming performance while staying affordable for lower PC build budgets.
*by E***K on October 7, 2025*

I wanted a graphics card for newer games but am on a budget. Really satisfied with the specs and performance of this card with my game library. Didn't see need to buy higher end card. In time all the older cards go down in price as new cards are released. I didn't really need to have all the latest bells and whistles. Runs quiet.
