Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Infinity 2 OC Launches With 12GB VRAM

Palit introduced the RTX 3060 Infinity 2 OC, a fresh board design for the revived RTX 3060 graphics card. This release matters because it signals continued production of the Ampere architecture despite the market shift to newer generations. Gamers on a budget now have another option for 12GB VRAM cards that do not rely on the latest hardware generation.

New Palit graphics card adds 12GB VRAM and dual-fan cooling

The new card is built around the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GPU. It retains the 12GB of GDDR6 memory found in previous iterations of this model. Palit designed this specific variant to offer a distinct aesthetic and cooling solution for users who prefer an all-black build.

Specifications

  • GPU Model: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
  • Memory: 12GB GDDR6
  • Cooling: Dual-fan cooler with ventilated backplate and flow-through section
  • Boost Clock: 1792 MHz
  • Fan Feature: 0dB mode

Palit equipped the Infinity 2 OC with an all-black dual-fan cooler. The design includes a ventilated backplate and a flow-through section behind the heatsink. This configuration helps direct hot air out of the case rather than recirculating it. The OC variant features an overclocked boost clock of 1792 MHz.

The cooling system supports Palit’s 0dB mode, which stops the fans during light workloads. This feature aims to reduce noise when the system is idle or handling basic tasks. The card keeps the 2021 Ampere architecture, which means it does not support DLSS Frame Generation. Users seeking the latest upscaling features will need to look elsewhere.

Palit has not yet confirmed the price, launch date, or regional availability for this card. Details regarding pricing, launch dates, and availability are expected to be announced in the near future. We looked at Palit confirms GALAX brand remains active in our earlier Palit coverage to track the vendor’s recent moves. The company continues to refresh its lineup with new designs for existing silicon.

This launch follows reports of Foundry restarting GA106 GPU production in March. The availability of these chips allows partners like Palit to release new cards. The Infinity 2 OC represents a specific design choice rather than a performance leap. It offers a clean aesthetic and quiet operation for standard gaming.
