Product overview

Palit’s GeForce RTX 3060 Dual OC 12GB debuted on February 25, 2021 as an Ampere (RTX 30‑series, GA106) card. In the budget tier, it exists to deliver RTX features and ample VRAM to mainstream gamers at sensible power and size.

It’s well‑suited to 1080p gaming at high settings and workable 1440p with DLSS, plus entry‑level ray tracing. This Dual OC model pairs 12GB GDDR6 on a 192‑bit bus with a single 8‑pin connector and a 550W PSU recommendation, drawing about 170W. It’s a compact 245 mm, 2‑slot card with 3× DisplayPort 1.4a and 1× HDMI 2.1 for easy fit and hookup. Unique note: its 12GB VRAM is unusually large for an xx60‑class GPU.
