Before you buy a used RTX 3060 12GB

  • Power: a 550W+ power supply with 8-pin.
  • Size: about 242mm long for the reference card; check the exact partner model against your case.
  • Proof it works: ask for a photo of the card running a benchmark (3DMark, FurMark or a game's FPS counter) with your eBay name on a note.
  • Temperatures: ask for GPU and hotspot temperatures under load.
  • Fans and coil whine: listen for rattling or grinding fans. Fans are cheap to replace; a dead GPU isn't.
  • Mining history: this card was popular with miners. Not a deal-breaker, but ask, and prefer a tested listing with a fair return policy.
  • Warranty: some makers transfer warranty to a second owner with the receipt. Listings that mention warranty are flagged above.
  • Pay safely: buy through eBay checkout (eBay Money Back Guarantee covers "not as described"), never by bank transfer.

Used RTX 3060 12GB FAQ

How much is a used RTX 3060 12GB worth?

On eBay UK the typical asking price for a used RTX 3060 12GB is £303 including postage, with most listings between £287 and £326. That is from 14 current listings, cleaned of faulty cards and parts. The cheapest working one right now is £266.

What power supply do I need for a RTX 3060 12GB?

NVIDIA recommends at least a 550W power supply for the RTX 3060 12GB, which draws about 170W on its own. It takes 8-pin. Factory-overclocked partner cards can draw more, so leave some headroom.

Will a RTX 3060 12GB fit in my case?

The reference RTX 3060 12GB is about 242mm long and 2 slots thick. Many partner cards (ASUS ROG Strix, MSI Suprim, Gigabyte Aorus) are 20-60mm longer, so check your case's maximum GPU length and the exact card model before buying.

Is a used RTX 3060 12GB good for gaming in 2026?

Its performance score is 43/100 on our scale (100 = the fastest card we track), which as a rough guide means high settings at 1080p. It has 12GB of GDDR6.

Was this card used for mining?

Cards from 2020-2022 were popular with crypto miners. Mining at a steady, undervolted load is not usually what kills a card, but fans and thermal pads wear. Ask the seller how it was used, look for fan noise or high memory temperatures, and prefer a listing that is tested, boxed or still under warranty. We flag listings that mention mining.
