Product overview
Launched on February 25, 2021 as part of NVIDIA’s Ampere GeForce RTX 30 series, MSI’s GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X 12G is a factory‑overclocked take on the RTX 3060 with 12GB of GDDR6 on a 192‑bit bus and a 1837 MHz boost clock.
It’s a budget‑tier card aimed at bringing RTX ray tracing and DLSS upscaling to mainstream 1080p rigs with some headroom for entry‑level 1440p. Practical build notes: 170 W board power, dual power connectors (1×8‑pin + 1×6‑pin) with a 550 W PSU recommendation, and a 276 × 131 × 51 mm cooler—check case clearance. Outputs are 3× DisplayPort 1.4a and 1× HDMI 2.1 (4K120).
