The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K at 60fps, 4K at 120fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 3060 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU’s 4864 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.
For cooling, MSI implemented dual TORX 4.0 fans, which maximize downwards airflow and air dispersion to the heat sink below them. This GPU also utilizes MSI ZeroFrozr technology to eliminate fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations. With RGB Mystic Light, you can customize colors and LED effects with exclusive MSI software and synchronize the look and feel with other MSI components.
NVIDIA Ampere Architecture
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture can deliver twice the FP32 throughput of the previous generation. Its 2nd Gen RT cores provide enhanced ray tracing and shading while its 3rd Gen Tensor Cores can run AI-powered technologies efficiently.
Real-Time Ray Tracing
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX platform enables real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions, and global illumination.
