[SOLVED] Rtx 3060 105 watt laptop model 6gb vram question

[packersfan036]

is the nvidia rtx 3060 6gb vram 105w laptop model ok for 4k gaming??

Depends on the game, you'll need to run the game in DLSS performance mode to insure you get over 60FPS in the more intensive AAA titles.

Sure it can, but that doesn't mean that it'll be able to do so very well, or at frame rates you find acceptable. I game at 4K on a RTX 2080 (similar performance to a desktop RTX 3060 Ti) and it's 'good enough' in some games and underpowered by a decent amount in other games. So unless you're good with low settings, 30 fps, and sometimes even resolution scaling, you should probably buy a more powerful GPU if you intend to game at 4k.

Additionally, a GPU with 6 GB of VRAM is really only suited for gaming at 1440p or lower. 8 GB is considered the minimum for running any modern game at 4K, with 10 GB+ being preferred.

Bottom line, if you buy a laptop that you intend to game at 4k on, the minimum GPU I'd equip it with is a RTX 3070.

Just adding agreement to RTX 2080’s post. I would not consider a 3060 a 4K card, yes it will run lighter games at 4K but anything demanding it is not up to it.
