Description
Based on the Ampere architecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of 1080p at high frame rates as well as 1440p gaming, the MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti VENTUS 3X OC LHR Graphics Card brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to your PC games. The GPU features 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface, offering improved performance and power efficiency over the previous Turing-based generation.
The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 48 Gb/s bandwidth and a range of higher resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K at 60 fps, 4K at 120 fps, and even up to 10K. The RTX 3060 Ti is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU’s 4864 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA and other APIs.
For cooling, MSI implemented triple TORX 3.0 fans, which maximize downwards airflow and air dispersion to the heat sink below them.

Thermal & Design Features
-
TORX Fan 3.0 Triple-Fan Array: Uses three fans alternating between traditional blades and curved dispersion blades to generate higher static pressure and direct airflow across the large fin stack.
-
Zero Frozr (0 RPM Fan-Stop): Fans turn off completely when the GPU is idling or under low load (below ~60°C), eliminating fan noise during web browsing and desktop work.
-
Brushed Composite Backplate: Features an aesthetic, reinforced backplate that provides structural rigidity along the 316 mm PCB and protects sensitive surface-mount components.
-
Core Pipe Direct-Contact Heatpipes: Precision-machined copper heat pipes make direct contact over the GPU core to evenly spread heat along the full length of the aluminum heatsink.
-
Stealth Industrial Aesthetic: Carries a black and gunmetal-silver shroud with zero RGB lighting, ideal for clean, non-illuminated or professional PC builds.
