EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming 12GB
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming is a PCI Express 4.0 graphics card built for 1080p and 1440p gaming. It uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU with 3584 CUDA cores and a 1882 MHz boost clock. The 12GB GDDR6 frame buffer runs on a 192-bit bus at 15000 MHz effective.
Metal backplate and dual-fan cooling
An all-metal backplate adds structural rigidity and helps dissipate heat from the PCB reverse side. Dual fans move air through the heatsink for lower temperatures and quieter acoustic output under load. The card arrives ready for EVGA Precision X1 software control.
12GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit interface
The 12GB GDDR6 memory capacity is the specification that determines suitability for modern texture-heavy titles and multi-monitor workloads. Combined with the 192-bit bus, it delivers enough bandwidth for high-resolution assets. This capacity positions the card above 8GB alternatives for future-proofing.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 GB GDDR6 memory or the 3584 CUDA cores need replacement during the card's life?
The memory and CUDA cores are soldered to the board and are not user-replaceable; only the dual fans are mechanical parts that may wear out after extended use.
Does the 192-bit memory interface or the 15000 MHz effective memory clock become the bottleneck in long rendering sessions?
The 192-bit bus width limits peak memory bandwidth, so sustained workloads that stream large textures will hit that interface ceiling before the 15000 MHz clock becomes the limiting factor.
How loud do the dual fans get and how much heat does the metal backplate dissipate when the boost clock holds at 1882 MHz all day?
The dual-fan cooler is designed for quieter acoustic noise; the all-metal backplate helps spread heat from the GPU and memory, keeping temperatures lower during continuous 1882 MHz operation.
