Based on the Turing architecture, the ASUS GTX 1650 Phoenix EVO OC Graphics Cardprovides improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor based on the Pascal architecture.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, and DVI-D Dual-Link. The GTX 1650 is not just about high-resolution gaming; Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 896 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.

For cooling, ASUS implemented a single, dual-bearing fan cooler. With reduced friction, it also runs smoothly as well as improves the card's lifespan and cooling efficiency.

Boosts the card's clock speed in real-time based on the target temperature. If the card is running below the set target temperature, GPU Boost 4.0 will increase the clock speed to improve performance. The target temperature can be reset depending on your preference so you can have the card run more quietly for everyday tasks and older games and run at full tilt during intense high-resolution gaming sequences.

With Ansel, gamers can compose the gameplay shots they want, pointing the camera in any direction and from any vantage point within a gaming world. They can capture screenshots at up to 32 times the screen resolution and then zoom in where they choose without losing fidelity. With photo-filters, they can add effects in real-time before taking the shot and they can capture 360-degree stereo photospheres for viewing in a VR headset or Google Cardboard.

NVIDIA's parallel computing platform enables an increase in computing performance by harnessing the parallel nature of GPU processing. CUDA-compatible applications can assign intensive parallel computing tasks such as real-time video rendering to the GPU to process, which frees up the computer's CPU to run other tasks.

When used with a monitor that has G-SYNC hardware installed, the monitor's refresh rate will sync and lock with the graphics card's output frame rate. Establishing this sync removes tearing and stuttering which can result from conventional fixed-screen refresh rates. This is especially important for gaming in stereoscopic 3D. An additional benefit of G-SYNC is reduced lag so gamers will benefit from the improved command response time as well.

Q: 1. Over-heating problems in 3060 Series -- Does ASUS have that problem? There are many recent reports in AskUbuntu about this problem, anybody who has purchased this card have had these problems?

A: The ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Dual V2 OC Graphics Card (B&H # ASDR3060O122) is not known to have any significant overheating problems unique to the 3060 series. To avoid overheating, it is best to stick to safe installation practices and to avoid forcing parts into housing that may be too small or have poor airflow.

Q: 2. I have Hp g4 z4 xenon with 750w Psu. Will the 6pin to 8pin adapter you sell work? Thanks Bob

A: I do not recommend using a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter with the RTX 3060 Ti. The RTX 3060 Ti is designed to use up to 200 W of power, and a 6-pin connection from the power supply will not be able to provide enough power to the card.

Q: 3. Will this work with a gold rated 600W PSU, or will I need to upgrade the PSU as well?

A: The ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Dual OC Graphics Card (B&H # ASDR4070012G) recommends a 650W power supply.

Q: 4. Does the card support SLI and dual cards?

A: The ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Dual V2 OC Graphics Card is not SLI compatible, but can sit alongside a second card in a system that supports it.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with a Dell XPS 8940 with a 500W PSU?

A: The recommended PSU wattage for the ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Dual V2 OC Graphics Card is 650W; I wouldn't recommend using it in a PC with a 500W PSU.

Q: 6. "Is this card OpenCL 1.2 compatible, is it compatible with Windows 11?"

A: Yes, the MSI GTX 1630 VENTUS XS 4G supports OpenCL and is compatible with Windows 11.

Q: 7. What power (or other) cables and adapters does it come with?

A: Power cables and adapters are not included with the ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Dual OC Graphics Card. You shouldn't need an adapter so long as your motherboard has the appropriate PCIe expansion slot, and your power supply should have come with the necessary power cables.

Q: 8. ASUS website says "Warranty period may differ regionally, please check with your purchase Site". What is the warranty period on this item?

A: The ASUS RTX 3060 Dual V2 OC Edition comes with a limited 3-year warranty from Asus.

Q: 9. I like the small size, but won't it be too loud/hot compared to ~3,5 slot design of the gaming versions?

A: While larger 3.5 slot GPUs doe have larger cooling systems, they are not necessarily going generate less heat or be less noisy than their smaller counterparts. Each GPU is designed with the optimal cooling and size for it's own needs, and the ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ProArt OC Graphics Card is no different.

Q: 10. Is this compatible with a 9700K, which can only run PCIe 3.0?

A: This Asus RTX 3060 is compatible with an i7-9700k.
