GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB: ASUS announces ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ASUS Dual
GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB
ASUS has announced the new ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ASUS Dual graphics cards that integrate the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU. We remind you that these new graphics cards support ray-tracing and Nvidia DLSS functions, as well as Nvidia Reflex and Nvidia Broadcast.Here are the details on all the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards presented by ASUS.
ROG Strix
ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 12GB ROG Strix GeForce graphics cards RTX 3060 12GB are characterized by an extremely advanced design. A surface with metal inserts encloses the three fans with the ASUS Axial-tech fan design: the more compact pin on which the fan is mounted allows for longer blades to be used, and the full-height rings provide greater static pressure to push more air. Reversing the direction of rotation of the center fan reduces turbulence to improve airflow efficiency. The fans and the top of the graphics card are also illuminated by an RGB element that can be customized with Armory Crate software.The large heat sink, which takes up most of the 2.7 footprint. card slot, is designed to take advantage of the increased airflow. In order to achieve maximum thermal efficiency in the die and in the heatsink array, MaxContact technology was used to microscopically improve the level of sanding. An extra surface uniformity was obtained to allow optimal contact with the die so as to maximize heat transfer.
In addition to an improved cooling array, Super Alloy Power II components, including premium capacitors, inductors, and power stages, allow hundreds of watts to flow effortlessly with one-millisecond reaction time . The board components are soldered to the PCB using ASUS 'exclusive Auto-Extreme technology to ensure precise splicing so that each model meets ROG's stringent reliability specifications.
FanConnect II adapters are also included which enable to adjust PWM fans based on CPU and GPU temperatures. For those looking for a quick and easy way to adjust default speeds, you can rely on the integrated Dual BIOS switch, with which you can choose between "performance" and "quiet" profiles without resorting to additional software. Another extremely useful feature is the integrated voltage sensing circuit.
Turning the card over reveals further improvements in design. For efficient heat dissipation, a large hole in the back plate and a shortened PCB allow hot air to escape to the cooling fans thus preventing flow from entering the cooling system.
The graphics card ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3060 12GB ensures a dynamic thermal design. Coupled with the exceptional performance of the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, ROG Strix gives gamers the ability to access new experiences - from incredible frame rates in competitive games to smooth, high-resolution gameplay in the most immersive AAA games.

TUF Gaming
TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Cards provide power and cooling in an extremely robust solution . The all-metal foil covering the board houses three powerful Axial-tech fans that use double ball bearings. The rotation of the fan has been optimized to reduce turbulence while a stop mode stops the three fans when operating in low temperatures.In line with the TUF Gaming spirit, the components are selected on the basis of their resistance over time and performance. In addition to premium inductors and MOSFETs, military-grade certified capacitors make TUF Gaming stand out from the competition. The manufacturing process relies on Auto-Extreme technology and ensures that components are positioned and fixed with the utmost precision, each board is also subjected to a grueling 144-hour verification test to ensure flawless performance is always achieved when needed.
Most of the back section of the card is covered by a protective metal back plate that prominently features a large air vent to prevent heat build-up. Under the board, a bracket ensures constant mounting pressure between the Die and the heat sink. The I / O faceplate is built in stainless steel to protect the ports, here there is also the Dual BIOS switch to allow you to customize the default performance profile of the card without resorting to additional software.

ASUS Dual
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB delivers the ultimate combination of dynamic thermal performance and broad compatibility. It is therefore the perfect choice for builds with reduced or compact form factors.The sleek casing encloses the two Axial-tech fans designed to maximize airflow through the large heat sink. 0 dB technology automatically stops the fans when the card operates at lower temperatures. The ASUS Dual graphics card is 20cm long and fits into 2-slot designs: you can take advantage of its excellent thermal performance in more compact builds.
Auto-Extreme technology mounts and welds the components on the PCB with greater accuracy and reliability. The whole is protected by the structural rigidity and durability of the aluminum rear plate. The ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12GB card offers gamers exceptional thermal performance in a small form factor so as not to give up long gaming sessions with AAA titles.
