Note! The graphics card may be LHR in the store you transferred to!

Mid-range graphics card from 2021 with an excellent balance between price, performance, dimensions, and power consumption. The model exhibits excellent performance in most modern AAA games released from 2020-2023, providing stable 60-80 FPS at high graphics settings in projects like Elder Ring, GOW Ragnarok, Forza Horizon 5, and Cyberpunk 2077. As a result, this model has become one of the bestsellers of 2021-2022.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 WINDFORCE OC 12G LHR is based on the Nvidia GA106 GPU (8nm, 1792 MHz frequency), which is built on the high-tech Ampere microarchitecture. It comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory, ensuring timely texture uploads when gaming at 2K and 4K resolution. Additionally, the RTX 3060 is equipped with auxiliary Tensor and ray tracing cores, which enhance lighting and boost performance through dynamic scaling.

The Gigabyte variation features a shortened PCB, simplifying installation in compact cases, and a top-notch Windforce cooling system, which provides efficient airflow for components at a minimal noise level and is ready for artificial overclocking of the video core and memory if needed. A full range of Nvidia’s software and hardware innovations for gamers and streamers is also available: Nvidia Broadcast, Nvidia Reflex, and RTX IO, which streamline the streaming process, reduce display latency, and optimize resource loading speed from SSD. The "LHR" suffix in the name indicates that the card is hardware protected from mining popular cryptocurrencies.

DirectX version: 12 Ultimate OpenGL version: 4.6. 1x 8-pin. WINDFORCE 2X COOLING SYSTEM. The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, 3 composite copper heat pipes direct touch GPU, 3D active fan and Screen cooling, which together provide high efficiency heat dissipation.. ALTERNATE SPINNING. The GIGABYTE “Alternate Spinning” is the only solution that can solve the turbulent airflow of adjacent fans. Since the adjacent fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction is opposite between the fans, which will cause turbulent airflow and reduce heat dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE turns the adjacent fans in the opposite direction, so that the airflow direction between the two fans is the same, reducing the turbulence and enhancing the airflow pressure.. UNIQUE BLADE FAN. The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the airflow.. 3D ACTIVE FAN. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, and the fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low power game. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.. HEAT PIPES DIRECT TOUCH. The shape of the pure copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU, enhancing heat transfer.

A very cool graphics card for its price, but it's a bit of a heater)) Kisses to you.
12 June 2024 
Top graphics card for the money, certainly. It's paired with a processor that isn't quite ideal for it in my opinion (AMD Ryzen 7 3700x with a B450m s2h motherboard), but still, it works exceptionally well. FPS (fullhd): Forza 5 ultra 85 fps. GTA 5 Online ultra 60-90fps, 60 near Chiliad for some reason. CS 2 medium-high 200+ fps. ETS 2 ultra 80-200 (Truckers MP with 130 people drops fps to 20 - 40 even on RTX 4070, don't bother haha) + depends on the city. Minecraft 1.19 with shader and parallax textures 60+ fps stable. Not sure what other game to mention, so basically the fps is top-notch everywhere. I recommend it if you have a tight budget, but honestly, I suggest going for the 40 series now, as games aren't standing still.
Price, performance, quality, nothing much to describe) just a great graphics card.
It's advisable to get a larger case, preferably with 3 fans for intake and 1-2 for exhaust because during summer, when it's +28°C at home, the graphics card heats up to 85°C. I have a case with 2 fans at the front and 1 at the back; only opening the side glass panel helps, and there's a 10-degree drop.
