Nvidia’s RTX30 series graphics card conference has been around for about half a year, and it has successively brought us RTX3090, RTX3080, RTX3070 and RTX3060Ti. As the price of virtual currency continues to rise, profitable miners continue to frantically buy a new generation of RTX30 graphics cards. These graphics cards may not have reached the retail market, and have been bought by miners from the source of the channel. The market is facing various shortages of goods, which has led to a situation in which the graphics card market has risen.
On February 25, 2021, NVIDIA officially brought a new member of RTX30 and officially listed the RTX3060 graphics card. Regarding the behavior of mining that seriously disrupts the order of the graphics card market, NVIDIA has reduced the mining performance of the newly launched RTX3060. Half, the miners were forced to abandon this graphics card and did a meaningful thing for the players. This is worthy of praise.
We know that every generation of graphics cards in the N card will be popular every "6", but what surprises can this generation of RTX3060 bring to players? Through the previous test, RTX3060Ti has reached RTX2080Super, so which graphics card is the performance of RTX3060 roughly benchmarked against the previous generation? Let’s take a look at the parameters of the newly released GeForce RTX 3060.
Graphics card parameter comparison
RTX3060 adopts the GA106-300 core of 8nm process, the stream processor core has 3584, has 12G/192Bit based on GDDR6 memory, the core frequency is 1320-1777MHz, the memory frequency is 15000MHz. The RTX3060 is based on the GA106 core, which is slightly smaller than the GA104 core of the RTX3060Ti, which cuts half of the GPC units. However, each GPC unit adds two sets of SM units. It is basically impossible to approach the performance of RTX3060Ti.
However, it is worth mentioning that the RTX3060 is equipped with a larger 12GB video memory, but from the previous test, the game basically does not use that much video memory, unless productivity needs.
GA106
test platform description:
test platform uses i9-10850K processor with Z490 motherboard,Dual 8G 3600 frequency (16G memory), 500G NVMe solid state, graphics card using RTX3060, compared to the graphics card RTX3060Ti and the previous generation RTX2070, RTX2060, the power supply is 850W, Win10 Professional Edition 2004 version of the system.
1. 3DMARK test
Fire Strike (DX11)
In the 3DMark Fire Strike (DX11) test, it can be seen that the performance of RTX3060 is closer to RTX2070, and the performance of RTX 3060 is behind RTX 2070. About 7%.
Time Spy (DX12)
In the 3DMark Time Spy (DX12) project, the performance of RTX3060 lags behind RTX2070 by about 2%, which is basically the same as what NVIDIA said during the live broadcast. The performance of RTX3060 is roughly between RTX2060Super Between RTX2070 and RTX2070, it is very close to the performance of RTX2070.
2. Game test
game mainly tested several popular game masterpieces at present, namely "Gears of War 5", "The Division 2", "Metro: Departure", "Secpunk 2077" "And "Tomb Raider: Shadow", tested directly in a 2K resolution environment, the highest quality.
game test (2K resolution)
The actual game test at 2K resolution, RTX 3060 compared to RTX 2070 in a tie in some games, but RTX3060 in most games, the number of frames is slightly better than RTX2070 , But the frame rate difference is extremely small. At the same time, it can be seen that in the 2K environment of RTX3060, some games are less than 60 frames, and the picture quality may need to be reduced.But under the highest picture quality of 1080P, there is definitely no problem with all kinds of game masterpieces.
III. Power consumption temperature test
Use Furmark baking machine to test the power consumption and temperature of the graphics card. Because RTX3060 has Samsung 8nm blessing, the power consumption performance of RTX 3060 is basically close to that of RTX 2060, which is 10W lower than RTX 2070. Compared with the RTX 3060 Ti, it is 30W directly lower, and the energy consumption ratio is excellent.
Power consumption temperature test
Summary:
From the theoretical test point of view, the performance of RTX3060 should be positioned between RTX2060Super and RTX2070, which means that RTX2060Super is slightly stronger, and its performance is very close to RTX2070. In terms of game performance, RTX3060 is slightly stronger than RTX2070 in most games, and the two are basically on the same level. Compared with the previous generation RTX2060, the RTX3060 is about 11-20% stronger in game performance, and is about 31%-38% weaker than the big brother RTX3060Ti.
