EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING, 12G-P5-3657-KR, 12GB GDDR6, Dual-Fan, Metal Backplate

Ampere Architecture and Performance

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING (12G-P5-3657-KR) leverages NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, featuring 3584 CUDA cores and a 1882 MHz boost clock. Its 12GB GDDR6 memory at 15 Gbps (360 GB/s bandwidth) delivers strong 1080p (~80–100 FPS in *Elden Ring* Ultra) and solid 1440p (~50–70 FPS) gaming. It includes 2nd Gen Ray Tracing Cores, 3rd Gen Tensor Cores, DLSS, LHR (~25 MH/s), and NVENC for streaming. Users praise its 1080p/1440p performance and ample VRAM but note limited 4K capability (~30–40 FPS). Ideal for mid-range RTX builds.

Dual Fan Cooling and Compact Design

The dual HDB fan cooling system with a metal backplate keeps temperatures at ~65–70°C under load with moderate noise (~30–35 dB). The 2-slot design (201.8 x 110 x 40 mm) is compact, fitting mATX/ITX cases. Users commend its cooling efficiency and build quality but note occasional coil whine and the need for good case airflow. Use EVGA Precision X1 for fan and overclocking control. Ideal for smaller builds but may need fan curve tweaks for heavy loads.

Connectivity and Power Efficiency

Supporting PCIe 4.0 x16, the card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a for 1080p/4K displays (max 7680x4320 @ 60Hz). It requires a 550W PSU with one 8-pin PCIe connector (170W TDP). Users value its efficiency and multi-monitor support (up to 4) but caution about PSU quality for overclocking. LHR limits mining performance (~25 MH/s). Ideal for mid-range gaming PCs and content creation.
