The processor took a 6-core 12-thread Intel Core i5-12600 with operating frequencies in the range of 3.3 — 4.6 GHz.

The processor is quite hot, so we cooled it with a rather big cooler Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO Black/Red .

RAM installed 32 GB with two modules DDR4-3200 GOODRAM IRDM X Black .

Operating system and other installed on SSD GOODRAM IRDM M.2 to 512GB .

The power supply was GIGABYTE P850GM 850W , which was more than enough.

And all these components are housed in the case DeepCool MATREXX 40 Tempered Glass .

More about video cards

Let’s say right away that all models have the rev.2.0 specification in their names. This means that they have built-in protection against mining — the cards are not suitable for this. But work and games — please! nine0003

And one more thing — the printed circuit boards themselves are almost the same. Especially in the three younger ones, in which 6 phases of the stabilizer feed the GPU, and 2 more — the memory. Total 8 phases. The AORUS ELITE is somewhat different here. It is powered by an 8 + 2 scheme, that is, two more, which should provide higher frequencies — we will check a little later.

Basically, the cards differ in cooling systems, so let’s move on to them.

The youngest and most affordable card tested — GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12G (rev.2.0) . And only she carries two fans. They have a diameter of 100 mm and rotate in different directions to create a stronger air flow, and the blades are corrugated for better distribution.

The length of the video card is small — only 242 mm. It occupies two expansion slots. Additional power — 8 pin.

The most interesting thing is the declared Boost frequency — 1807 MHz, while the reference card has 1777 MHz. Three sevens are easy to remember — we will continue to compare. nine0003

There is even some RGB Fusion 2.0 backlighting — a glowing EAGLE inscription, that is, «Eagle» in translation.

The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G (rev.2.0) also has a dual-slot cooling system, but is already equipped with three fans of 80 mm each.

The heatsink is pierced by three heatpipes, with the same direct contact to the chip for better heat capture. The power requirement is similar to the previous card — a 550 W unit and one additional 8 pin connector. The length of the card, of course, is longer — 282 mm. nine0003

The GPU frequency is 30 MHz higher than the previous one — 1837 MHz. There is also a bit of illumination — a glowing «GIGABYTE» logo.

The location, by the way, is better — at the end it is better visible through the transparent side panel of the case.

Next is an almost complete copy of Gaming — model GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 VISION OC 12G (rev.2.0) . Also three 80 mm turntables, three heat pipes and a frequency of 1837 MHz. Even the size is almost the same. The difference is a couple of millimeters. nine0003

The main feature, as you understand, is the light design. If a system is assembled in a similar design, such a card will fit in with a bang.

And finally AORUS GeForce RTX 3060 ELITE 12G (rev.2.0) . Its cooling system is the largest of all. It is thicker, occupies about 3 expansion slots, and reaches almost 30 cm in length. 5 heat pipes are pressed against the GPU.

The main feature of the cooler is the circular illumination of the fans. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer recommends using a 100 W more powerful power supply — 650 W, and in addition to the 8-pin additional power supply, you will need another 6-pin connector. nine0003

The claimed GPU frequency is 30 MHz higher than other cards — 1867 MHz.

In addition, it is worth noting that all cards have a partially blown backplate. This window allows you to more efficiently throw hot air out of the radiator.

Heat and frequencies in the stress test

Now let’s compare cooling systems under severe conditions. All cards were warmed up under maximum load by the FurMark stress test.

Obviously, the 2-fan 3060 EAGLE turned out to be the heaviest in this scenario. The GPU temperature rose to 75.5°C, and the hottest point that the sensors caught was almost 91°C. The cooler was running at 94% of its maximum speed. However, EAGLE temporarily took the highest GPU frequency — 1942 MHz. Will she be able to approach her in games? We’ll find out a little later.

The VISION version is blown more efficiently. The temperature is 71.2°C and the Hot Spot is 83.4°C. At the same time, the smaller diameter turntables have a higher speed, they accelerated by an additional 460 rpm compared to the EAGLE. And for them it is only 80% of the maximum. Fixed frequency ceiling — 1890 MHz.

RTX 3060 Gaming OC showed the optimal ratio of temperature and percentage load of the cooling system among 4 modifications. GPU overheating is already below the psychological mark of 70°C, and the coolers work at 77% of their capabilities. The maximum GPU frequency is 1867 MHz.

Finally, the AORUS RTX 3060 ELITE managed to achieve the coldest result of 67.4°C with a Hot Spot of 77.6°C. To do this, the cooling system at its peak was spinning up to 90% of its capabilities, which in numbers is 2118 rpm. nine0003

In total, the final summary of the results looks like this. We can say that the cards endure the stress load equally well, keeping temperatures normal, because the ceiling for the RTX 3060 is 93 ° C. If the places are given out, gold goes to AORUS ELITE, silver goes to Gaming, and bronze goes to Vision. EAGLE wins in the «compact» category — it will fit better in a small case. As for the noise, in our system it is approximately the same for everyone — relatively low. Subjectively, EAGLE and Gaming are a bit quieter than the others. nine0003

Let’s compare four RTX 3060

We have already seen what our participants are capable of under maximum load, now we will evaluate what performance they provide in work and gaming loads.

Blender 3-fan modifications are almost identical. They outperform EAGLE by an average of 3-4%.

But the V-Ray benchmark built a more visual ladder. AORUS bypasses the youngest modification already by 7-12%. In turn, Gaming and VISION are in the middle — with a 3-4% advantage over EAGLE. nine0003

The 3DMark Time Spy’s 2-fan EAGLE probably didn’t handle as high frequencies as the stress test, which put it just below the Gaming version. It is clear that, in general, here the difference is calculated plus or minus one percent. AORUS has the highest result — it surpassed the younger one by 2.5% in terms of Graphics Score.

In general, it is clear that there is no fundamental difference for work tasks — all RTX 3060 are cool and well optimized for popular programs. But if you are looking for the best option on this GPU, the choice is AORUS Elite. VISION or Gaming will be optimal, and the last list will be EAGLE. nine0003

And now the main dish of this review — comparison in games. Will it be possible to find a tangible difference between the cards? What are the temperatures and frequencies in real games? We will learn from the example of 9 scenarios with different resolutions and graphics settings.

Starting with Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p and ultra settings. So far without rays and DLSS. All maps have a difference within the measurement error. Everyone keeps an excellent GPU frequency around 1900 MHz with a vengeance. This is the highest value in the stress test. The Vision was the best — its frequencies are consistently high, which resulted in a 3-4% advantage over the 2-fan Eagle. nine0003

Paying attention to the ratio of noise and temperatures to speed, Gaming wins. It is 5°C cooler and slightly quieter than the Vision.

Turning on the magic DLSS technology in the «quality» mode increases the frame rate by more than 30 percent! By a third! No noticeable subsidence in detail. Now the cards consistently keep the frequency above 1950 MHz, only EAGLE stuck to 1920 MHz, which provided it with a 4% lower average frequency than AORUS. By the way, the reference boost frequency for the RTX 3060 is 1777 MHz. nine0003

We continue to find the balance of picture and performance — turn on ultra ray tracing, and switch DLSS to «Performance» mode. In this scenario, the AORUS model did better — the only one took 2025 MHz, also at the lowest temperature. In second place in this regard was Gaming, it also has 66 ° C, a good frequency of 1972 MHz and 60 fps on average.

With DLSS technology in performance mode, you can get the same smooth and stable gameplay at 1440p resolution. So far without Ray Tracing. In first place again AORUS. For example, it is 7°C colder than EAGLE and beats it by 7% in very rare events. Again, Gaming looks like the golden mean — the second in terms of temperature and speed, and in the tail — the dual-fan EAGLE. nine0003

Finished with Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p, Ultra Rays and DLSS in Performance mode. The midrange bar goes down to 43-45 fps. We can say that this mode is quite comfortable for passing. In this scenario, VISION wins, because it holds the frequency of 1965 MHz almost like concrete. For example, she outperformed the youngest card by 5-9%. The second place is shared between the Gaming and Aorus models, showing a slightly lower frequency, but more comfortable temperatures. nine0003

Let’s move on to the second game — Dying Light 2. The first stage in Full HD resolution with maximum graphics settings, called High, and without DLSS technology. Again we see that there is no sacred difference, the cards differ by 1-2 fps, which cannot be felt without monitoring. In terms of temperature-GPU frequency, the Gaming model won — 69 ° C and about 1935 MHz. For example, the compact EAGLE has 77°C and a frequency just below 1900 MHz.

With the inclusion of high quality ray tracing and DLSS in the Performance mode, we keep almost the same smoothness of the gameplay with a slight loss of sharpness on individual textures. The gradation between the cards has not changed much. Only VISION stood out with a more stable frequency, which gave it a 1-2 frame advantage over others.

Transition to Quad HD resolution. The settings are still maximum, except for DLSS in Quality mode and no rays yet. The RTX 3060 Gaming OC seems to be the winner here, since at a minimum temperature of 69°C, it showed almost the maximum frame rate. Vision usually gnawed off 2% of her average frequency, but it turned out to be hot by the same 2 ° C.

And finish in 1440p with quality ray tracing. The frequency dipped by about 30%, but thanks to the miraculous DLSS in the «performance» mode, we still managed to maintain fairly smooth gameplay. In terms of temperatures and frequencies, everything is the same: Vision wins by 1 fps, while Gaming and AORUS are 3°C colder; EAGLE as usual — 8 points hotter. nine0003

Conclusions

All graphics cards have shown excellent performance with frequencies around 1900 MHz and above for the RTX 3060 GPU, which is now one of the best for workloads and games with ray tracing at its cost. Even at 1440p, if you turn on the magical DLSS technology. But due to different cooling systems, there are still differences.

2-fan GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12G (rev.2.0) at times 7-9°C hotter than the coldest Gaming and AORUS. And up to 4-9% is weaker than them in frame rate in some scenarios. With poor cooling of the case, this difference may increase a little more. On the other hand, EAGLE is more compatible with tight system cases and is the cheapest.

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G (rev.2.0) — looks like the golden mean among all 4 in terms of price / features and speed / temperature. Now it is only 800-1000 UAH more expensive than a 2-fan one. At the same time, under maximum load, only 77% of the fan speed is used against 94% for the youngest. This headroom can be converted to a better temperature or a slight overclock. Its noise level is also lower than others, according to subjective sensations.

Model GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 VISION OC 12G (rev.2.0) is on average 1-2% faster than Gaming, but a couple of degrees hotter and a little louder. The price plus or minus is the same. So, its strength is a light design for the same system components.

As for AORUS GeForce RTX 3060 ELITE 12 G ( rev.2.0) , then technically it is cold, beats Gaming 1-2°C. Thanks to this, it keeps the frequency slightly higher, sometimes it even crosses the 2000 MHz line, which provides a stable bonus of 1-2 frames. But, in all likelihood, most will not want to overpay just for this. But for a cool backlight, if the case has a transparent sidewall — it is quite likely. Denis Koziolek0001 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Notebook Review —

Video Card Tested This is the first review of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Notebook Graphics Cards. The review series begins with the GeForce RTX 3060, the most affordable of the three new Ampere mobile GPUs released to date.

The

GeForce RTX 3060 for laptops uses an Nvidia GA106 GPU with 3840 unlocked CUDA cores, which is even more than the desktop equivalent. There are a number of power configurations that OEMs can use, ranging from 60W to 115W, allowing for boosted clock speeds from 1283MHz to 1703MHz depending on the variant you purchase. One of the highlights of this generation of graphics cards is that NVIDIA is removing the «Max-Q» label, instead giving all configurations from the 60W (formerly Max-Q) to the 115W (Max-P) model the same name «GeForce RTX 3060 for laptops.” nine0003

Memory configuration for all RTX 3060 laptop variants — 6 GB GDDR6 on 192-bit bus, clocked at 14 or 12 Gb/s depending on power class. As it is a new Ampere architecture GPU, it is built on Samsung’s 8nm process node and features all new architectural features such as 3rd generation Tensor cores, 2nd generation ray tracing cores, and dual FP32 pipelines.

In particular for laptops, Nvidia has introduced a number of new technologies such as Dynamic Boost 2.0, WhisperMode 2.0 and Resizable BAR, in addition to previous technologies such as Advanced Optimus. All RTX 30 graphics cards can use them, however not all of these features are required by the laptop manufacturer. nine0003

This review tested two variants of the RTX 3060 for laptops, one with 80W base power and the other with 115W base power. Please note that it is «base power» that is indicated, since both video cards come with Dynamic Boost 2.0, which is enabled by default. This balances the load on the system while gaming, and in some situations where CPU usage is low, it allows the RTX 3060 to run 15W higher. Given that this feature is enabled by default on both systems, laptops will be tested with it, and we will indicate the power range in the test tables. nine0003

The first 115W-130W RTX 3060 laptop is the XMG Apex 17, a powerful system with excellent cooling. The RTX 3060 inside it has a base frequency of 1387MHz and a boost clock of 1702MHz, as well as 14Gbps memory. It supports Dynamic Boost and Resizable BAR but does not support WhisperMode or Advanced Optimus. The
XMG Apex is powered by the new Ryzen 7 5800H APU that has just been released. It also has 16GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory and a 17-inch 1080p 144Hz display. nine0003

The second RTX 3060 laptop is another XMG Apex 17 laptop but with 80-95W graphics card power configuration. The laptop is a slightly different model with a thinner chassis and a smaller cooler. Clock speeds are 900MHz base and 1425MHz boost, also with 14Gbps memory. This laptop supports Dynamic Boost and WhisperMode but does not support resizable BAR or Advanced Optimus. Perhaps the lack of Resizable BAR is due to the use of an Intel processor. There’s also 16GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory and a 17-inch 1080p 144Hz display. nine0483

Cinebench R20

We start with some older games that have a lot of data to compare, and then move on to newer tests. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the first to be tested, and immediately we see pretty decent results.

There is not much performance difference between RTX 3060 laptops in this game. But the RTX 3060 model is 80-95W delivers 17% more performance than a 90W RTX 2060 laptop. Thus, with a similar power configuration, we get a decent performance boost with the new RTX 30 series graphics card. If you haven’t changed a laptop for a long time, then when you change, for example, from GTX 1060 to RTX 3060, you will get a 65% performance boost at the same power nutrition.

Metro Exodus

The Metro Exodus RTX 3060 performs great, especially with the 115W power configuration. At 80W we see 16% more performance than the RTX 2060 and a 305th gap at 115W. If you are upgrading from an older system, the difference will be much more significant. nine0003

Control

Control is severely GPU-limited on laptops and shows one of the highest performance gains for an RTX 3060 over an RTX 2060 at 1080p. We get 27% more frames when comparing configurations with 80-95W and 21% more when comparing maximum configurations with 115W.

Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 shows significant performance improvement with RTX 3060 with 17% higher frame rates on 80-9 configurations5W and 19% higher in 115-130W configurations compared to the RTX 2060. This makes the 3060 about 5% faster than the RTX 2070 Super Max-Q in a lower power configuration or equal to a higher power configuration. power consumption.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 has one of the strongest results for the RTX 3060, delivering more performance than the RTX 2070 Super at the same power. The
RTX 3060 is 24% faster than the RTX 2060 in both power classes and nearly twice as fast as the old GTX 1060. Now is the time to consider ditching your old Pascal laptop for something newer. nine0003

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

With the new AMD processors, we no longer suffer the huge performance hit in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Therefore, both laptops on the RTX 3060 show the same result in this game and excellent FPS. The

RTX 3060 in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is vastly superior to previous generation graphics cards, and you can safely pick up a laptop with a 240Hz display.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the RTX 3060 outperforms the RTX 2070 Super Max-Q by a couple of frames and delivers a 17% performance boost over the RTX 2060 in the same power class. With the RTX 3060 115W, you can play AC Valhalla at very high settings at 1080p, which was previously only possible with the RTX 2080 Super.

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 requires a powerful graphics card for decent framerates at 1080p on a laptop, and it’s best to lower the quality settings to medium to get over 60 fps. The RTX 3060 hits 17% FPS than the RTX 2060 at low power, but falls behind the RTX 2070 Super in this game. nine0003

Watch Dogs Legion

Watch Dogs Legion, even at 1080p on ultra settings, is proving to be a challenge for the RTX 3060, and part of it comes down to ultra settings requiring 8GB of VRAM. The RTX 3060 is only 6 GB, so its minimum FPS lags behind that of the RTX 2070 Super despite having a similar average frame rate. There is still a significant performance boost, up 29% over the RTX 2060, another graphics card with 6GB of VRAM. nine0003

Hitman 3

Hitman 3 is the newest game, and for this test we use the built-in Dartmoor level benchmark. This is an intense test for both the CPU and GPU, with the RTX 3060 performing well against the other graphics cards in the table.

The RTX 3060 is only 15% faster than the RTX 2060 at similar powers, but completely dominates the GTX 1060 configuration.

Dirt 5

in a way it’s a newer and more productive game. With 17% more performance than the RTX 2060, the RTX 3060 allows for 80-95W match RTX 2070 Super Max-Q.

Comparison of GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 2060

Comparing RTX 3060 (80W to 95W) with Dynamic Boost enabled, RTX 2060 laptops running at 90W averaged 19% faster in the same power class.

Some results were not as high for the new RTX 30-series graphics card, such as Gears 5 and Cyberpunk with ray tracing enabled, while other games such as Control and Watch Dogs Legion could be almost 30% ahead on a new Nvidia GPU. nine0003

In the higher power class, 115-130W, we don’t have many games to compare with. However, from the tests we’ve done, we can say that the RTX 3060 is 22% faster than the RTX 2060 on average. Super, with a similar power class. The only exception here is Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing enabled, where 6GB of VRAM is not enough and causes significant performance loss compared to the 2070 Super with 8GB. Remove this result, and the 3060 will be a couple of percent faster on average. nine0003

GeForce RTX 3060 115-130W vs. GeForce RTX 3060 80-95W

Similar to what we’ve seen with previous generations, the 115W higher power configuration is 11% faster on average than the RTX 3060 80W configuration. Tue

Conclusion The

RTX 3060 for Notebook delivers a noticeable performance boost over previous models in the same class and power level.
