Product overview
Launched June 25, 2021, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC is an NVIDIA Ampere (RTX 30) LHR refresh with 12GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. It targets the budget tier: a practical 1080p card with extra VRAM headroom and a modest 170 W TDP.
It’s well suited to 1080p high/ultra or 1440p medium gaming, esports/high‑fps play, and light content creation, with DLSS upscaling and 2nd‑gen RT cores for entry‑level ray tracing. The 301 mm, 2.7‑slot cooler, single 8‑pin power, and a 650 W PSU recommendation aid fit and power planning. Outputs include 2x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Notably, it provides two HDMI 2.1 ports—unusual for this class.
