ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti V2 OC Edition Graphics Card (pci_e_x16, 8GB GDDR6, LHR, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, Dual Ball Fan Bearings,

AXIAL-TECH UPGRADES

TUF Gaming cards leverage our tried and true Axial tech fan design,

with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA’s new high octane design.

The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance and increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings and other bearing types

New Directions

The two side fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence.

And to eliminate unnecessary noise, a stop mode halts all fans when the GPU temp falls below 50 degrees and power consumption is low

MAXCONTACT

To get heat into the heatsink array efficiently, so t hat it can be whisked away by the powerful Axial tech fans,

we use a manufacturing process that improves the surface smoothness of the heatspreader at the microscopic level.

The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die, helping to enhance ther mal transfer.

2.7-SLOT DESIGN

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card’s large, 2.7 slot footprint.

This gene ration of TUF Gaming graphics cards also feature a dedicated heatsink for VRAM to keep temperatures well under maximum operating specs

TUF COMPONENTS

Components are selected for TUF Gaming graphics cards based on their durability and performance. In addit ion to top shelf chokes and MOSFETs, capacitors that meet

military grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition.

The components are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. Finally

, to ensure flawless performance when it counts,the cards are subjected to a grueling 144 hour validation trial

IT’S COOLER OUT BACK

1. Stainless Steel I/O Port Bracket
2. GPU Bracket
3. Dual BIOS
4. Vented Backplate

Flipping the card around reveals more design improvements. A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allow hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the cooler.

A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader.

The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount.

A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows quick selection between “performance”

and “quiet” mode for basic customization of the card’s default behavior without software.
