Legacy Gen Current Gen Next Gen Ready

Data Highway

Memory Bus Width. Like lanes on a highway—wider means more data (textures) can move at once.

192-bit

Free FPS Tech

AI Upscaling (DLSS/FSR). Renders game at lower resolution then uses AI to make it look sharp, boosting FPS significantly.

DLSS 2

Light Engine

Hardware for realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows. Very demanding on performance.

# The Verdict

Performance Tier

1440p High Performance Certified

Key Strengths

12GB VRAM for smooth texture rendering
Ampere architecture for improved power efficiency
DLSS upscaling for enhanced performance in supported games

Potential Bottlenecks

192-bit bus may limit extreme 4K performance

1080p

120+ FPS (Ultra)

1440p

80+ FPS (High)

40-60 FPS (Medium-High)

Engineer's Recommendation

"The RTX 3060 is well-suited for 1440p gaming and can handle 4K with some compromises. It's a strong choice for GTA 6 at high settings. However, 4K enthusiasts may find it slightly lacking."
