Product description
The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has been stripped down and built back up to provide more robust power and cooling. An all-metal shroud houses 3 powerful Axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence, and a stop mode brings all 3 fans to a halt at low temps. Beneath, a thick heat sink keeps thermals under tight control. Additional features, including TUF components, Auto-Extreme technology, and a backplate vent make the TUF a proper powerhouse.
Product features
- Axial-tech upgrades
TUF Gaming cards leverage the tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with 3 fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's 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. - Different directions
The 2 side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence. And to eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low. - MaxContact
To get heat up off the die and into the heat sink array, ASUS has engaged MaxContact technology to polish the surface of the heat spreader and improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer. - 2.7-slot design
The heat spreader draws heat up into heat pipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large, 2.7-slot footprint. - TUF components
Components are selected for TUF Gaming graphics cards based on their durability and performance. In addition to top-shelf chokes and MOSFETs, capacitors that meet military-grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition. The components are soldered to the PCB using ASUS advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. - Fresh shroud
An all-aluminum shroud adds robust protection to TUF Gaming graphics cards and a no-nonsense industrial design with grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease. - It's cooler out back
The underside of the card reveals a host of improvements. Most of the rear 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. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows for customization of the card's default performance profile without software. - Functional front
The top-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. An 8-pin connector fulfills the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and onboard LEDs light up if the power connectors are not plugged in correctly. - NVIDIA Ampere architecture
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture delivers the ultimate play, featuring advanced 2nd generation ray tracing cores and 3rd generation tensor cores with greater throughput. - 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 gives you the performance headroom to crank up settings and resolutions for an incredible visual experience. The AI revolution has come to gaming.
