With that CUDA core count, the RTX 3060 GPU can hit a peak horsepower of 12.7 TFLOPs – which is almost on par with the older Turing based flagships.
The GeForce RTX 3060 comes packed with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. The memory runs across a 192-bit bus wide interface and features an effective clock speed of 17.00 Gbps. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 also comes packed with next-generation RT (Raytracing) cores, Tensor cores, and brand-new SM or streaming multi-processor units. The graphics card has a TDP of 170W.
