Inno3D presents GeForce RTX 3060 12GB series; price begins at 329 USD
INNO3D announces the GeForce RTX 3060 TWIN X2 / OC and iCHILL X3 RED adds to the RTX 30 Series line-up powered by the advanced NVIDIA Ampere architecture.
Founded in 1998 with the vision of developing pioneering computer hardware products on a global scale. Fast forward to the present day, INNO3D is now well-established in the gaming community known for our innovative and daring approach to design and technology. We are Brutal by Nature in everything we do and are 201% committed to you for the best gaming experience in the world.
With its efficient, high-performance architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX™, the GeForce® RTX 3060 brings amazing hardware ray-tracing capabilities and support for NVIDIA DLSS and other technologies, and is priced starting at $329.
Like all RTX 30 Series GPUs, the RTX 3060 supports the trifecta of GeForce gaming innovations: NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and NVIDIA Broadcast, which accelerate performance and enhance image quality. Together with real-time ray tracing, these technologies are the foundation of the GeForce gaming platform, which brings unparalleled performance and features to games and gamers everywhere.

- RTX 3060 TWIN X2
- Inno3D iCHILL X3 RED
Like the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the GeForce RTX 3060 is also equipped with the iCHILL X3 RED cooler. The iCHILL X3 RED lights up red LED without RGB control as it does not require this – the red look gives your PC system a mean devilish theme. It has been a huge hit which has seen many mods seeing pure red. With factory overclocking and armed with a plethora of NVIDIA features such as Ray Tracing Cores and Tensor Cores it allows you to play your top games, annihilate your opponent while also showing off your new system build.
The fan takes DNA from the 9cm triple fan design used by the RTX 3090, 3080 and 3070 iCHILL X3 with asymmetrical facia, and with scythe blades to maximise airflow and optimised to operate in low fan speed conditions. The iCHILL X3 RED comes with 6 copper heat pipes with heat pipe length of 1371mm and total surface area of 832207mm². For added LED effect we’ve included two tail fin modules, one with logo and one blank for customization so that you can customize your rig for the perfect IG post.
TWIN X2 / OC Power
The legend continues now also with INNO3D GeForce RTX 3060 with twin 9cm scythe fan blades and with 4 copper heat pipes for the OC version to keep the card performing at an optimal level, this is especially important when the factory overclocked OC version is tackling the most demanding of games. We know most of INNO3D gamers are very creative with their system build and how they wish to place the card on the motherboard. Some positions play on gravity and the weight of the card may cause unintentional bending adding protection to your gaming weapon so we’ve added an INNO3D back plate to reinforce the graphics card which allows you to place it in any position without worry.
Years of R&D has allowed INNO3D to make technological advancements, continously pushing the boundaries and bolster their expertise in the GPU industry. It has elevated INNO3D to a point that makes a difference for high-end gamers and design creation professionals achieving high performance with outstanding temperature control and at super quiet noise levels.
Inno3D preps watercooled GeForce GTX 580 - 12/03/2010 12:26 PM
Expreview got its hands on a photo of Inno3D's watercooled GeForce GTX 580 iChill Black Edition. Different from the several previous Inno3D water-cooled graphics cards,GTX 580 Ichill Black Edition ado...
Inno3D plans watercooled Fermi - 03/24/2010 11:41 AM
The chaps at Expreview report Inno3D has developed a watercooling solution for the NVIDIA Fermi. The waterblock is smaller than the company's GeForce GTX 295 waterblock, it measures 164mm x 104mm x 19...

That reminds me of Fury X vs 980ti when amd said faster hbm will compensate for having less vram and then it didnt.
It uses slower memory, the 3060 is using GDDR6 and the 3080 is using GDDR6X

Yeah, 3060 Ultra with 10 or 12 GB is reasonable, but the 3060 with 12, while the Ti has 12 (+NV telling that 10 GB is enough with the 3080....)? No logic in that.
I would be careful with 8gb card even at 1440p. 3060Ultra 12gb sounds better to me.

Well these are just the facts and I highly doubt nvidia would release a 3060 that's faster than a 3080.

Who said anything about being faster? lol

It uses slower memory, the 3060 is using GDDR6 and the 3080 is using GDDR6X
NVIDIA is the first vendor to opt for GDDR6X memory in its RTX 30 series GPUs, at least the higher-end ones. It increases the per-pin bandwidth from 14Gbps to 21Gbps and the overall bandwidth to 1008GB/s, even more than a 3072-bit wide HBM2 stack.
GDDR6X GDDR6 GDDR5X HBM2
B/W Per Pin 21 Gbps 14 Gbps 11.4 Gbps 1.7 Gbps
Chip capacity 1 GB (8 Gb) 1 GB (8 Gb) 1 GB (8 Gb) 4 GB (32 Gb)
No. Chips/KGSDs 12 12 12 3
B/W Per Chip/Stack 84 GB/s 56 GB/s 45.6 GB/s 217.6 GB/s
Bus Width 384-bit 384-bit 352-bit 3072-bit
Total B/W 1008 GB/s 672 GB/s 548 GB/s 652.8 GB/s
DRAM Voltage 1.35 V 1.35 V 1.35 V 1.2 V
Data Rate QDR QDR DDR DDR
Signaling PAM4 Binary Binary Binary
The secret sauce behind GDDR6X memory is PAM4 encoding. In simple words, it doubles the data transfer per clock compared to GDDR6 which uses NRZ or binary coding.
With NRZ, you had just two states, 0 and 1. PAM4 doubles it to four, 00, 01,10, and 11. Using these four states, you can send four bits of data per cycle (two per edge). The drawback with PAM4 is the high price especially at the higher frequencies of GDD6X. This is the reason why no one has tried to implement it in consumer memory before.
This is one down-side with this. While GDDR6 has a burst length of 16 bytes (BL16), GDDR6X is limited to BL8 or 8 bytes, but because of PAM4 signaling, each of its 16-bit channels will also deliver 32 bytes per operation. Therefore, most of the improvement in bandwidth has come from higher operating frequency on GDDR6X. Keep in mind that GDDR6X is not a JEDEC standard, rather a proprietary solution from Micron.
