The Ampere series replaces the Turing lineup, which will fade out of the market as these cards sit right on top of their prices yet are much faster. 

  • The reference 3050 cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.77 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.55GHz domain.
  • The reference 3060 cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.78 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.32GHz domain.
  • The reference 3060 Ti cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.66 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.41 GHz domain.
  • The reference 3070 cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.73 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.50 GHz domain.
  • The reference 3080 cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.71 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.44 GHz domain.
  • The reference 3090 cards have a peak boost clock up-to 1.70 GHz, with the base clock hovering in the 1.40 GHz domain. 

You will spot a single 8-pin power connector for this model. The IO panel shows display connectors, three DisplayPort 1.4, and one HDMI 2.1 connector that will bring 8K 60 Hz HDR to a single HDMI cable. The card is lightweight at almost 1kg.  The card has a vented backplate and is sized closing in at 28 cm in length.

NVIDIA limited the PCI Express bus towards 8 lanes, so that's x8 PCIe Gen 4.0. This will not hinder performance at all at PCIe 4.0, At PCIe 3.0 however that might be a few % different. The BIOS offers fan stop in idle, meaning the card is passive (not fans spinning) when not utilized, and that brings you the fortunate effect of a silent product.
