If you look at MSI’s Gaming X Trio variant they all look the same, despite the GPU difference. Most AIB partners are doing the same thing. Not only that the retail box is identical, but the cooler design and overall look of the RTX 3060 EX are also the same as the RTX 3060 Ti EX. The only difference is the “Ti”, the rest is the same. The box or packaging of the RTX 3060 EX is identical to the RTX 3060 Ti EX’s packaging.

NVIDIA Studio: RTX-Accelerated Content Creation: RTX 30 Series brings faster rendering and AI performance, more graphics memory, and exclusive NVIDIA AI tools such as Omniverse Machinima to help you finish creative projects in record time.Next-gen process technology: New 8N NVIDIA custom process from Samsung, which allows for higher transistor density and more efficiency.NVIDIA Reflex: Low Latency Technology: Acquire targets faster, react quicker, and increase aim precision through a revolutionary suite of new GeForce and G-SYNC technologies to optimize and measure system latency in competitive games.
NVIDIA Broadcast for AI-powered Video and Voice: Turn any room into a home studio with AI – taking your live streams and video chats to the next level with AI-powered audio and video effects like noise removal, virtual background, and webcam auto frame.Third-gen Tensor Cores: New Tensor Core automatically identifies and removes less important DNN weights and the new hardware processes the sparse network at twice the rate of Turing-102 Tensor-TFLOPS with sparsity compared to Turing’s 51.6 TFLOPS.Second-gen RT Cores: Ray-triangle intersection throughput is now doubled so that the RT Core delivers 24.9 RT-TFLOPs, compared to Turing’s 19.5.Programmable Shader: Increased to 2 shader calculations per clock versus 1 on Turing – 12.7 Shader-TFLOPS compared to 6.5 TFLOPS.You can check out more features of the 3060 below.
AV1 is said to provide ~50% bitrate savings over H.264. In addition, the RTX 3060 has an HDMI 2.1 out that enables support for It features AV1 decode as well, which provides better compression and quality compared to existing codecs like H.264, HEVC, and VP9. Thanks to NVIDIA’s GPU Boost technology and the substantial heatsink paired with custom PCB design the GALAX RTX 3060 EX can boost higher than 1807MHz easily. It features a slightly higher boost clock speed of 1807MHz out of the box.īut the out of the box speed doesn’t matter a lot. It features the same design and cooling solution and comes with factory overclock settings, as well as a custom PCB design. The GALAX RTX 3060 EX graphics card that I have is very similar to the RTX 3060 Ti EX we previously reviewed. The RTX 3060 has a memory clock of 7501 MHz, 360 Gb/s memory bandwidth, and runs on a 192-bit memory interface. Not to mention its memory runs slower compared to the GDDR6 memory on the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070.
I don’t think you need that amount of memory for 1080p gaming. But most of you can tell that the 12GB of memory is more or less marketing stuff. The RTX 3060 also offers 12GB GDDR6 memory, in addition to the 3584 CUDA cores. It features second-generation RTX architecture, with 12.7 shader TFLOPs, 24.9 RT TFLOPs, and 102 Tensor TFLOPs. The problem is, there isn’t enough (silicone) supply.Īnyway, moving on, the GeForce RTX 3060 would be the ideal graphics card for 1080p 60fps gaming with modern-day titles. If there were enough supply and prices were not inflated I bet it wouldn’t take long until the GTX 1060 would be dethroned from Steam’s hardware survey as the most popular graphics card. The sad thing is, they’re gone, all gone, almost instantly. And for those who don’t want to spend extra on a higher-end graphics card.
Yes, I agree, it would have been a nice upgrade for gamers who are still rocking a GTX 1060. NVIDIA is marketing the RTX 3060 as “the ultimate upgrade for GTX 1060 gamers”.
