It’s a robust piece of software that supports special functions on EVGA cards like ICX and many others. To start our overclocking process, there is no better program to use here than EVGA’s own Precision X1 software. Our goal is to see how much higher than 1897MHz average we can get it and sustain it. Therefore 1897MHz is our baseline for our overclocking today. That’s 7% higher than the quoted boost clock. We found that GPU Boost exceeded 1777MHz and provided a clock speed averaging around 1897MHz. In our initial review, we looked at the real-world GPU Boost frequency while playing games. The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC BLACK GAMING video card we have operates at the same reference 1777MHz boost and 15GHz memory frequencies.

It has 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM at 15GHz on a 192-bit bus which provides 360GB/s of memory bandwidth. It has 112 (3 rd generation) Tensor Cores and 28 (2 nd generation) RT Cores. he GeForce RTX 3060 is based on Samsung 8nm manufacturing process, same as all the other RTX 30 series GPUs. Default Specificationsīefore we dive into overclocking, let’s do a little refresher of RTX 3060 specs, and the EVGA RTX 3060 XC BLACK GAMING specifically. We will use the exact same system and video card setup from the initial review to make our comparisons. This article will show you how to overclock the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC BLACK GAMING video card, how high we could push it, and the performance advantages at 1080p, 1440p, Ray Tracing, and DLSS. Therefore, in this review, we will do that. The one thing we did not do, was overclocking. In our initial review, we did a deep dive into performance at 1080p and 1440p including Ray Tracing and DLSS. We got hold of one of those retail cards, thanks to NVIDIA and EVGA, and we did a very thorough review of the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC BLACK GAMING (part number 12G-P5-3655-KR) video card with 12GB GDDR6 and Dual-Fan.ĮVGA has set the price for this video card at $329, keeping to the suggested price on its website. Though NVIDIA has a suggested retail price set at $329. Add-in-board partners and manufacturers will produce the video cards and set their own pricing. Unique to this launch, there is no Founders Edition video card.

On February 25th, NVIDIA launched its GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. Overclocking EVGA RTX 3060 XC Video Card.
