BUILT TUFThe TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card has more up its sleeves to fully unleash the power of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU. It employs TUF components, three axial-tech fans, a metal backplate with a wide vent, and a new metal shroud, delivering extreme reliability and intelligent cooling. For builders looking for a new old faithful, this card has your back.
FANSAXIAL-TECH UPGRADESTUF Gaming cards leverage our tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIAs new 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.
NEW DIRECTIONSThe two 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.
HEATSINKMAXCONTACTTo get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, weve 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 DESIGNThe heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the cards large, 2.7-slot footprint.
PCBTUF COMPONENTSComponents 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 our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. Finally, to ensure flawless performance when it counts, the cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial.
DESIGNFRESH SHROUDAn all-aluminum shroud adds robust protection to TUF Gaming graphics cards and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease.
DESIGNITS COOLER OUT BACKThe 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 c
