What to know about this GPU
Most well-known models use 12 GB, but 8 GB cards also exist.
Confirm VRAM in Windows or the ShowMeIP report before comparing requirements.
Do not treat the laptop RTX 3060 as the same product.
Is it compatible with Windows 11?
Windows 11 compatibility is determined by the complete PC, not the graphics card alone. Check the processor, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, memory, storage, firmware, and graphics-driver support together.
How to check whether you have this GPU
Open Windows Task Manager and select Performance, then GPU. For a more complete local report, use the ShowMeIP detector to record every graphics adapter and its driver version.
