MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 3X 8GB GDDR6
The triple-fan Torx 3.0 cooler on this 1695MHz boost-clocked RTX 3060 Ti keeps the 200W Ampere chip remarkably cool and quiet under load. Its 8GB of GDDR6 memory and 608 GB/s bandwidth deliver solid 1440p gaming performance, while the factory OC provides a slight edge over reference designs. This card is best for 1080p gamers seeking high refresh rates or budget-conscious builders wanting reliable 1440p capability from a renewed unit.
