Nvidia is a technology giant that designs and manufactures gaming devices, data centers, and most importantly graphics cards. The company is a leading manufacturer of graphics cards, most notably the consumer-forward GeForce series. The GeForce 30 series is the company’s previous generation of GPUs, which range from entry-level cards to ultra-performance gaming GPUs. The GeForce 40 and the current top-tier GPU GeForce 4090 are, however, still hard to come by due to low supply.
GeForce RTX 3060 is Nvidia’s lower mid-tier card that is designed for a value gaming setup. Even though it doesn’t come with the hefty price tag for its more capable brethren, it does support some of the latest Nvidia technologies. This includes ray-tracing technology, which brings realistic lighting to games like Cyberpunk 2077. In terms of technical specs, GeForce RTX 3060 is powered by 12 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory, updated Tensor and RT cores, and Nvidia DLSS artificial intelligence acceleration.
To keep the fans quiet and airflow efficient, MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 comes with a purposefully designed proprietary Airflow Control heat sink construction. It has been built to withstand bending, and a reinforced backplate makes sure it won’t get damaged. MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 supports up to 8K resolutions via the card’s three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and one HDMI 2.1. To control and monitor the Nvidia GPUs performance, it comes with MSI’s exclusive Dragon Center software.
Graphics card deals have been rare in the past couple of years due to the massively increased demand during the pandemic. GPUs have been hard to find even for MSRP, but now for a limited time, MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 is available at $379.99.
