PALIT has refreshed the aging GeForce RTX 3060 lineup with a fresh dual-fan model aimed at budget-conscious PC builders. The Infinity 2 OC variant offers a compact form factor that fits easily into smaller cases without sacrificing the core 1080p gaming performance users expect from this chip. This release signals a continued market for older architecture as component shortages ease.
Compact dual-fan card targets 1080p gaming with factory overclock
The new card retains the standard 12GB GDDR6 memory configuration found in the original Ampere RTX 3060. PALIT applied a factory overclock to the GPU clock speed, pushing it to 1792 MHz. This slight performance bump distinguishes the Infinity 2 OC from reference designs while keeping the core specifications identical.
Specifications
- GPU Model: GeForce RTX 3060
- Variant: Infinity 2 OC
- Clock Speed: 1792 MHz
- Memory: 12GB GDDR6
- Cooling Design: Dual-fan, dual-slot
Cooling relies on a dual-fan, dual-slot design that prioritizes space efficiency over extreme thermal headroom. The model number NE63060U19K9-PG190L identifies this specific iteration within PALIT's catalog. The compact build ensures compatibility with Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX chassis that often struggle with larger triple-fan cards.
This launch aligns with broader industry trends where manufacturers re-introduce proven older chips to fill gaps in current availability. While the RTX 3060 is not the fastest card on the market, it remains a viable entry point for 1080p gaming at lower price points. Buyers looking for a reliable, space-saving GPU for standard resolutions should keep this variant in mind.
