RTX 3060

Measured performance for RTX 3060 across 15 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. GPU score (the card's own performance): 3,914 on average over the best run per rig, best run 4,343 — #33 of 59 measured graphics cards. The best rig we measured it in scored 5,740 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just RTX 3060). Most often paired with AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor.

What the numbers mean

The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The GPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
