NVIDIA today announced that it is bringing the NVIDIA Ampere
architecture to millions more PC gamers with the new GeForce® RTX™
3060 GPU.
With its efficient, high-performance architecture and the second
generation of NVIDIA RTX™, the RTX 3060 brings amazing hardware
ray-tracing capabilities and support for NVIDIA DLSS and other
technologies, and is priced at $329.
NVIDIA’s 60-class GPUs have traditionally been the single most
popular cards for gamers on Steam, with the GTX 1060 long at the
top of the GPU gaming charts since its introduction in 2016. An
estimated 90 percent of GeForce gamers currently play with a
GTX-class GPU.
“There’s unstoppable momentum behind ray tracing, which has
quickly redefined the new standard of gaming,” said Matt Wuebbling,
vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “The NVIDIA
Ampere architecture has been our fastest-selling ever, and the RTX
3060 brings the strengths of the RTX 30 Series to millions more
gamers everywhere.”
With newer gaming titles come bigger worlds with cinematic
graphics and real-time ray tracing — these are gaming workloads
that only RTX-powered platforms are suited to handle. The GeForce
RTX 3060 has twice the raster performance and 10x the ray-tracing
performance of the GTX 1060, making it a formidable upgrade
opportunity and the foundation of a gaming PC platform powerful
enough to handle cutting-edge titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and
Fortnite with RTX On at 60 frames per second.
The RTX 3060’s key specifications include:
- 13 shader-TFLOPs
- 25 RT-TFLOPs for ray tracing
- 101 tensor-TFLOPs to power NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super
Sampling)
- 192-bit memory interface
- 12GB of GDDR6 memory
Resizable BAR will be supported on the GeForce RTX 30 Series
starting with the RTX 3060. When combined with a compatible
motherboard, this advanced PCI Express technology enables all of
the GPU memory to be accessed by the CPU at once, providing a
performance boost in many games.
Like all RTX 30 Series GPUs, the RTX 3060 supports the trifecta
of GeForce gaming innovations: NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and
NVIDIA Broadcast, which accelerate performance and enhance image
quality. Together with real-time ray tracing, these technologies
are the foundation of the GeForce gaming platform, which brings
unparalleled performance and features to games and gamers
everywhere.
NVIDIA DLSS: The AI Gift That Gamers Love
AI is revolutionizing gaming — from in-game physics and
animation simulation to real-time rendering and AI-assisted
broadcasting features. Powered by dedicated AI processors on
GeForce RTX GPUs called Tensor Cores, NVIDIA DLSS boosts frame
rates while generating beautiful, crisp game images and gives
gamers the performance headroom to maximize ray-tracing settings
and increase output resolutions. DLSS is available in more than 25
games, with more added every month.
NVIDIA Reflex and Broadcast: The Ultimate
Play
NVIDIA Reflex technology reduces system latency (or input lag),
making games more responsive and giving players in competitive
multiplayer titles an edge over the opposition. NVIDIA Broadcast is
a suite of audio and video AI enhancements, including virtual
backgrounds, motion capture and advanced noise removal, that users
can apply to chats, Skype calls and video conferences.
Advanced GeForce Experience FeaturesAll NVIDIA
GeForce GPUs benefit from GeForce Experience™, a tool used by tens
of millions of gamers to optimize game settings, record and upload
gameplay, stream gameplay, take screenshots, and download and
install Game Ready® Drivers. The latest features include:
- One-click automatic GPU Tuning: GeForce
Experience now supports GPU Tuning, which can automatically create
overclocking profiles by using an advanced scanning algorithm.
- Enhanced in-game monitoring overlay: GeForce
Experience’s already robust in-game overlay now adds performance
stats, temperatures and latency metrics, including NVIDIA Reflex
Latency Analyzer stats.
Where to BuyThe GeForce RTX 3060 will be
available in late February, starting at $329, as custom boards —
including stock-clocked and factory-overclocked models — from top
add-in card providers such as ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward,
Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. Look
for GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs at major retailers and etailers, as well
as in gaming systems by major manufacturers and leading system
builders worldwide.
