Zotac unveils three exclusive versions of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
The Chinese company Zotac has two series of products: some are released for the international market, others are intended only for the domestic market. As a rule, there are always AMP series video card models on the international market! and Twin Edge. Chinese buyers have a wider variety of options. For the latter, the manufacturer has prepared three new versions of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics accelerator in Apocalypse, PGF, and X-GAMING versions.
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Apocalypse OC version uses a massive 2.5-slot cooling system with three fans. The model is equipped with a standard set of video outputs from three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1.
A feature of the novelty is the presence of two 8-pin connectors for additional power. Whether they are both needed is a moot point, since the declared power consumption level of the video card is 200 watts.
Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti performed by Apocalypse OC received a factory overclocked GPU. The manufacturer added only 30 MHz, increasing the frequency in Boost mode to 1695 MHz.
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti PGF OC variant belongs to the manufacturer’s flagship series for the Chinese market. Typically, this model gets the most significant factory overclocking. In some cases, it even surpasses the factory overclocking of AMP versions for the international market.
The youngest model based on the Ampere architecture performed by Zotac is no exception, but it is not the fastest video card among all the ones presented at the moment. For the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti PGF OC, the company announced the GPU frequency in Boost mode at 1720 MHz.
The manufacturer included an additional retention plate with this version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti — the weight of the video card is not specified, but the video card is probably heavy — as well as an RGB-backlit power cable.
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti X-GAMING OC version is a representative of the basic series of Zotac graphics cards for the Chinese market.
Despite the loud “OC” in the name of the model, the manufacturer added only 15 MHz to the nominal frequency of its graphics processor in Boost mode, thereby increasing it to 1680 MHz.
Unlike the PGF and Apocalypse models, the X-GAMING version has only one 8-pin auxiliary power connector.
