Gigabyte AORUS RTX 3060 ELITE Graphics Card (GV-N3060AORUS E-12GD)

Gigabyte AORUS RTX 3060 ELITE is a factory-overclocked graphics card based on NVIDIA's RTX 3060. It is identically-designed as the RTX 3060 Ti variant and boosts to a higher clock speed than non-AORUS RTX 3060 cards.

Unlike other cards, the WINDFORCE 3X alternate spinning fans on this AORUS card feature RGB lighting on the fan shrouds, a design choice that may appeal to some gamers. Gigabyte refer to this as the "Neonpunk" style. Naturally, there is extensive customizability for the RGB effects, which perhaps justifies a riser card in your custom build.

Performance-wise, the RTX 3060 is really an entry-level option. Still, with 3584 CUDA cores, 2nd-gen ray-tracing cores, and 3rd-gen tensor cores, the RTX 3060 is a significant improvement over the previous-gen cards, making it an interesting option for budget-conscious buyers.
