About the RTX 3060
A 2021 mainstream Ampere card, notable for carrying 12GB of GDDR6 — more VRAM than several cards a tier above it — at a $329 launch price. That memory made it a long-running favorite for budget builds and entry-level local AI tinkering, and it became one of the most widely owned discrete GPUs of its era. It survives today as an abundant, inexpensive used option.
