ASUS TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING TUF Gaming Graphics Card
Product Information
- Product Name: TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING
- Manufacturer: ASUS
- Innovations: ASUS Innovations, NV Features
Fresh Shroud Cooling:
The TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING features a new all-aluminum shroud that
adds a robust flair to the build. The MaxContact heat spreader efficiently
transfers heat into a new 2.7-slot heatsink. On top, three Axial-tech fans
work in tandem to drive air through the entire array, helping to keep the
temperature under tight control.
Axial-Tech Upgrades:
TUF Gaming cards leverage the tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with three
fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA’s new high-
octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent
performance and increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings and other
bearing types.
It’s Cooler Out Back:
Most of the rear of the TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING is swathed in a
protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent
allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being
recycled back into the GPU cooler. Beneath the GPU, a bracket provides
consistent mounting pressure between
the die and heat spreader. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows
customization of the card’s default performance profile without software.
TUF Components:
The TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING is equipped with dual ball fan bearings that
stand up to tough conditions more readily than other bearing types. It also
features top-shelf capacitors that pass military-grade certification, boosting
product longevity.
Software Suite:
The TUF-RTX3060TI-O8GD6X-GAMING comes with a software suite that includes GPU
Tweak III for performance tweaking, XSplit Gamecaster for game streaming, and
Quantumcloud for earning passive income.
I/O Specifications:
- OC edition 1785 MHz GPU boost clock in OC mode for an outstanding gaming experience.
- 8GB GDDR6X Memory onboard for the best gaming experience and the best resolution.
- 0dB Technology: An advanced controller brings fans to a standstill below 55 Celsius, allowing for light gaming in relative silence.
NVIDIA Features:
- NVIDIA Ampere Architecture: The all-new NVIDIA Ampere architecture delivers the ultimate play, featuring advanced 2nd generation Ray Tracing Cores and 3rd generation Tensor Cores with greater throughput.
- RTX. IT’S ON.: Experience today’s biggest blockbusters like never before with the visual fidelity of real-time ray tracing and the ultimate performance of AI-powered DLSS.
- DLSS AI Acceleration: NVIDIA DLSS is groundbreaking AI rendering that boosts frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicated AI processing Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX. This provides the performance headroom to crank up settings and resolutions for an incredible visual experience.
- Victory Measured in Milliseconds: NVIDIA GPUs offer low latency performance for competitive gaming.
- Up Your Creative Game: GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs deliver AI-acceleration in top creative apps, backed by the NVIDIA Studio platform of dedicated drivers and exclusive tools. Whether you’re rendering complex 3D scenes, editing 8K video, or livestreaming with the best encoding and image quality, GeForce RTX GPUs give you the performance to create your best.

Fresh Shroud
A new all-aluminum shroud adds a robust flair to TUF builds. The top-side RGB
element can be customized with Armoury Crate to sync up with other ASUS
components to enable uniform lighting.
Cooling
A MaxContact heat spreader efficiently transfers heat into a new 2.7-slot
heatsink. On top, three Axial-tech fans work in tandem to drive air through
the entire array, helping to keep temperature under tight control.

New Directions
The fans have been smartly tuned with a reversed rotation for the center fan,
which reduces turbulence, and with a fan-stop mode that kicks in when the GPU
temp falls below 55 degrees.
