Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC 12GB Graphics Card

Product Information

This isn’t a worst-case test; this is a GPU-bound game running at a GPU-bound resolution to gauge performance when the graphics card is sweating hard. If you’re playing a game that also hammers the CPU, you could see higher overall system power draws. Consider yourself warned. Brad Chacos/IDG Here's a better look at graphics card power consumption using PCAT. We find that the RTX 3060 does consume 12% less power than the 3060 Ti, but given it was on average 22% slower, that's not a good result for power efficiency. It's a little more efficient than the 2060 Super, for example, consuming 6% more power for 17% more performance on average, not amazing but it's an improvement. Compared to Nvidia's previous offerings, the RTX 3060 looks a bit more impressive, offering 15% more performance than the two-year-old RTX 2060 Super which cost 18% less. Of course, Turing was never great value, but looking exclusively at Nvidia products, the 3060 is quite good.

Vereiste is op basis van een pc die is geconfigureerd met een Intel Core i9-10900K-processor. Afhankelijk van de systeemconfiguratie kan een lagere energiescore voldoende zijn. The latest game in the popular Total Warsaga, Troywas given away free for its first 24 hours on the Epic Games Store, moving over 7.5 million copies before it went on proper sale. Total War: Troyis built using a modified version of the Total War: Warhammer 2engine, and this DX11 title looks stunning for a turn-based strategy game. We test the more intensive battle benchmark. Brad Chacos/IDG F1 2020You can’t use the presets to benchmark Gears Tactics, as it intelligently scales to work best on your installed hardware, meaning that “Ultra” on one graphics card can load different settings than “Ultra” on a weaker card. We manually set all options to their highest possible settings. Brad Chacos/IDG Wolfenstein: Youngblood Metro: Exodus uses ray tracing for global illumination. It also uses DLSS 1.0 and doesn’t support the upscaling feature at 1080p, so we’ve only included raw ray tracing performance on that chart. Brad Chacos/IDG Brad Chacos/IDG

An 18% lead at 1080p and 16% lead at 1440p aren't bad, but we'd expect more from a generational upgrade.

Board Design

Prior to the launch of the RTX 40-series, it would have been a safe bet to assume the RTX 4060 would handily beat out a card just one tier higher from the previous generation. Sadly it does not. The RTX 3060 Ti holds a relatively small, but still notable lead at all resolutions. In fact, being unable to beat the RTX 3060 Ti may be the RTX 4060's headline weakness. The GeForce RTX 3060 is also Nvidia’s first desktop graphics card to support the PCIe Resizable BAR feature, following in the footsteps of AMD’s Smart Access Memory (which is based around ReBAR). Resizable BAR lets your CPU see your graphics card’s memory, rather than accessing it in 256MB chunks, which can result in performance gains on compatible systems. Most of those gains are modest, as we discovered testing Smart Access Memory on the RX 6900 XT, but they can go all the way to 10 percent or more in the right games, running the right graphics settings and resolutions. ReBAR’s uplift is highly variable. Nvidia The main advantage the RTX 4060 Ti has is a much greater shader count, at 4352 vs the 3072 of the RTX 4060. That's a big gap, and it shows up in the performance data, where the RTX 4060 Ti at least 19% faster than the RTX 4060.
