Powered by NVIDIA's Ampere architecture building blocks for the world’s fastest most efficient GPU, the new ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition is powered with 1882MHz Boost Clock, 3584 CUDA Cores and 12GB of GDDR6 memory. The GPU is loaded with low hashrate, 2nd Gen RT Cores which gives 2X throughput compared to the previous-gen.
Get up to 2X the throughput with structural sparsity and advanced AI algorithms such as DLSS. The DLSS is AI rendering that boosts frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX. This gives you the performance headroom to crank up settings and resolutions for an incredible visual experience.
Equipped with improved Axial Tech technology, to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's new high-octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance and increased longevity. A fan-stop mode kicks in when the GPU temp falls below 55 degrees.
Now with support for up to 8K resolution, the new generation cores deliver a massive boost in-game performance and all-new AI capabilities. The GeForce RTX graphics card delivers advanced DX12 features like variable-rate shading, bringing games to life with ultra-realistic visual effects and faster frame rates.
The all-new TUF Gaming motherboard is packed with components like military-grade capacitors and other TUF components for enhanced durability. On the software side, GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring to enjoy a smooth sail.

Built TUF

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 has been stripped down and built back up to provide more robust power and cooling. A new all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence, and a stop mode brings all three fans to a halt at low temps.

Axial Tech Upgrades

TUF Gaming cards leverage our tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's new high-octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance and increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings and other bearing types.

New Directions

The fans have been smartly tuned with a reversed rotation for the center fan, which reduces turbulence, and with a fan-stop mode that kicks in when the GPU temp falls below 55 degrees.

Max Contact

To get heat into the heatsink array efficiently, so that it can be whisked away by the powerful axial-tech fans, a manufacturing process is used that improves the surface smoothness of the heat spreader at the microscopic level and extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for thermal transfer.

2.7 Slot Design

The heat spreader draws heat up into heat pipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large, 2.7-slot footprint. This generation of TUF Gaming graphics cards also features a dedicated heatsink for VRAM to keep temperatures under control.

Fresh Shroud

An all-aluminum shroud adds robust protection to TUF Gaming graphics cards and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease. Mixing surface textures and materials make a statement when vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs.

Backplate

Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler.
