Where to Get GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060?
This is the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING OC 12G Version 1.0. This is not a limited hash rate version, as shown by the revision 1.0 version. It is possible to get revision 2.0, which has a lower hash rate. This mid-range product from GIGABYTE doesn’t have a lot of that gamer look to it. Instead, it has a more understated look than some other products on the market today. While RGB is still present, it is much less noticeable than on other cards, with only one bright spot where the GIGABYTE text is. In terms of specs, GIGABYTE didn’t want to deviate too much from what the NVIDIA standard design calls for.
For this model, the boost clock speed was 1837MHz instead of the default 1777MHz. The memory requirements are the same as what NVIDIA calls for in their reference design. This means that the only things that are different from the reference design are the custom PCB and cooling that GIGABYTE used. The company GIGABYTE says that all of this comes with a 3-year limited local guarantee.
