[스페셜]Hope in the cryptocurrency mining boom, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC JC Hyun:: Board Nara

Amid the virtual currency mining boom and the graphics card market is suffering from measles, the GeForce RTX 3060 was released. One of the reasons why the RTX 3060 is attracting attention is that it announced that it will cut down the mining performance of Ethereum, a representative cryptocurrency, in half with Bitcoin, and also announced the release of a GPU dedicated to cryptocurrency mining.

Although it is inevitable to the top models that are already on sale, the RTX 3060, the xx60 series graphics card favored by many gamers, is expected to avoid the evil of virtual currency miners by providing high graphics quality and reasonable cost-effectiveness.

On the other hand, voices are anxious about whether the performance will be doubled if the performance is in half, and it is difficult to determine right now whether the RTX 3060 will also avoid the beast of virtual currency miners. Let’s focus.

GeForce RTX 3060 launches only custom models without FE

As for the GeForce RTX 3060, like the top model at the time of the announcement, it may be thought that the Founders model will be released as the rendering image presumed to be the Founders Edition is released, but in reality, only the manufacturer’s custom model will be released without the Founders Edition.

In this article, we will look at the game performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 based on the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle, which JC Hyun distributes in Korea.

The graphics card itself maintains the design concept of the Gigabyte’Eagle’ series, such as dual cooling fans, screen cooling of GeForce RTX 30 series, back plate, gray shroud, and brand naming and LED hidden inside the upper translucent acrylic.

Alternate Spinning technology, which improves cooling efficiency and noise by minimizing turbulence at the interface by setting the rotation directions of each other in opposite directions.It is usually called 0Fan.The life of the cooling fan by turning the cooling fan on/off based on a specific temperature. 3D Active Fan technology that blocks unnecessary noise induction with improvement effect was applied.

Another feature of the cooling fan is the use of graphene nano-lubricating oil, which provides the life of a dual ball bearing class and more than doubles the life of the fan. The heat of the GPU is quickly distributed to the thermal block through four heat pipes, and the thermal block is designed to handle heat from the VRAM and the power supply including the GPU.

The power limit of the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Eagle OC JC Hyun graphics card is set to a minimum of 100W, a default of 170W and a maximum of 212W, and the boost clock is overclocked to 1807MHz, which is faster than 1780MHz, which is NVIDIA’s reference specification.

Based on the Permark 1.25 test, the GPU temperature was measured to consume a maximum of 57℃ and the system power consumption was measured to consume a maximum of 257W. Compared to the RTX 2060 FE in its replacement position, the power consumption is almost the same, while the GPU temperature is much lower.

GeForce RTX 3060 based on the new GA106 core for the mainstream

The GeForce RTX 3060 uses the GA106 core made for the mainstream market, unlike the upper model RTX 3060 Ti designed based on the GA104 core used in the RTX 3070. The GPU can be configured with up to 30SM (3840CUDA core) and 192bit memory bus, but the GeForce RTX 3060 uses the GA106-300-A1 core, which is a 28SM (3584CUDA core) configuration with two of them disabled.

The upper model RTX 3060 Ti was a GeForce RTX 2060 Super replacement position model with 38SM (4864 CUDA core) and a 256-bit memory bus configuration, and when looking at the specifications such as price and memory bus, the GeForce RTX 3060 is a product in the GeForce RTX 2060 replacement position.

Therefore, the test in this article is also focused on comparing the two GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 2060 products.

On the other hand, when comparing the specifications of the RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 3060, if Nvidia releases the RTX 3060 Super, you can predict that it is a product whose specifications have been adjusted based on the GA104 core.
