However, it is necessary to add with one breath that, as in the case of its predecessors, improved models with an overclocked core or quieter and more efficient cooling will appear on store shelves.

GeForce RTX 3060 has twice the rasterization power and up to ten times the ray-tracing power compared to GTX 1060. In the mentioned title Cyberpunk 2077, the manufacturer promises smooth play with the new card even at 60 frames per second, of course in Full HD resolution.
