NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, Gaming Benchmarks & Specs

Averages 70 FPS at 1440p over our 12-game suite, first-party measured · solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles

70 Avg FPS ✓ Measured

These are our own numbers. 12 games, one bench, one card, with the capture published for each result. Across our 12-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti averages 70 FPS. The ceiling is F1 2022 at 123 FPS; the floor is The Last of Us Part I at 38 FPS, a 3.2x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means solid 60+ FPS 1440p gaming, with headroom in lighter titles. Under load we logged a peak of 235W against the 200W rating.

Bench notes: from the person who ran it

Watch the 1% lows on this one, Hogwarts Legacy dropped to 59% of the average, which you feel as stutter even when the average looks fine. VRAM peaked at 7.66GB in Forza, so the 8GB is already breathing hard at these settings. These gaming numbers came off my own test bench: a Ryzen 7 7800X3D system, identical settings on every card, with a capture kept for every run. Everything here was double-checked before it went up.

The silicon

Transistors17,400 million
Die size392.5 mm²
Fabricated bySamsung
Transistor density44.3 million per mm²

Denser than 42% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
