The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 provides players with the ability to vanquish 1080p and 1440p gaming, while providing a quality NVIDIA RTX experience and a myriad of productivity benefits. The card is powered by NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which doubles down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced RT cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. With 12GB of GDDR6 memory, high-end performance does not have to be sacrificed to find a card for gaming and everyday use.
Combined with the next generation of design, cooling, and overclocking utilizing EVGA Precision X1, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Series redefines what it means to be built for gaming and productivity.

Awards of the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING, 12G-P5-3657-RX, 12GB GDDR6, Dual-Fan, Metal Backplate (12G-P5-3657-RX)
The EVGA RTX 3060 Black is impressive as a $329 card that can even power a high-end HMD and its a real step forward toward more widespread VR adoption.
The EVGA card I tested delivered excellent 1080p performance at high-plus quality settings. For many games it should also excel at 1440p, even without DLSS.
Best of all, throughout all my testing, the EVGA RTX 3060 remained fairly cool and quiet.
With 12GB of RAM onboard and slightly faster clock speeds, it makes for a great value-priced alternative to the RTX 3060 Ti, and without a great deal of compromise.
EVGA has a complete and interesting product here, under the hood things look good in phase and component design.
If you're building a new system for 1080p - 1440p gaming and the target price range falls within your budget, the GeForce RTX 3060 is an excellent choice -- the card offers strong performance in its class, with leading-edge features, and that 12GB frame buffer buys you some breathing room for the future.
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Black is easily one that we can recommend. The $329 price point is as low as you’ll see on this series and the performance was outstanding.
Tf you can find the RTX 3060, I believe this will be an excellent choice for PC gamers on a budget.
The RTX 3060 offers a 41.4% increase over the RTX 2060 in this tough RTX feature test, taking it from 21.89 FPS to a much smoother 30.96 FPS
The card is just under 202 mm long and is strictly a 2-slot card which means it is going to fit in pretty much any case out there. On top of that EVGA has given it a nice factory overclock up to 1882 MHz (GPU Boost). The cooling system does a great job and is not all that loud either.
That said, these frame rates are still nothing to sneeze at. My four-year-old GTX 1080 couldn’t dream of maxing out Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 1440p at a smooth 78fps or Warzone at 87fps.
As for the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black specifically, I am loving the compact dual fan design.
