Before you buy
Use the published values below as a starting point then verify the exact retail card, case and power supply you plan to use.
Confirm the exact partner-board specification before buying. Cooler size, case clearance, connector placement and power limits can differ from the published reference values.
Measured evidence
Historical launch pricing for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (8GB & 12GB versions) preserves source terms such as USD, MSRP and SEP. It is shown separately from one workload-specific community benchmark.

Evidence record
Specifications for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (8GB & 12GB versions) were checked against the linked source material. Last verified .
The RTX 3060 image context comes from a reviewed owner-supplied local ASUS manufacturer image and is not asserted by the NVIDIA specification sources. The original 12 GB configuration is primary with a 192-bit bus and NVIDIA-published 360 GB/s raw bandwidth. The later 8 GB option is second with a 128-bit bus and no bandwidth because the reviewed NVIDIA sources do not map a numeric value to that configuration. NVIDIA dates the later option only to November 2022. Both capacities share 3584 CUDA cores, a 1.32 GHz base clock, a 1.78 GHz boost clock and 170 W Graphics Card Power so the catalog stores 1320 MHz base, 1780 MHz boost and normalizes the power label to TGP. NVIDIA publishes no fixed reference length, width or slot width. The global comparison page publishes one PCIe 8-pin connector while the family detail table leaves that cell blank. The display arrangement and PCI Express Gen 4 value describe NVIDIA's reference entry and are not universal partner-card specifications.

The host page https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/50-series/rtx-5060-family/ loads this NVIDIA-hosted comparison-data asset. Its RTX 3060 entry alone does not map 360 GB/sec to a capacity so S18 is required for the 12 GB 192-bit pairing. It does not support a bandwidth for 8 GB.
