GeForce RTX 3060 (Laptop): FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The GeForce RTX 3060 (Laptop) needs little introduction: NVIDIA's 2021 Ampere mainstream chip, and the single most common dedicated GPU in this catalog — 142 models match this record alone, before counting its sibling 3060 entries. 16 games are benchmarked at 1080p. This guide covers the essentials of a chip that anchors the used gaming market.

Where the RTX 3060 Laptop sits in 2026

This record sits at the heart of a family cluster: three RTX 3060 laptop-family records occupy consecutive places in the low-30s of the 341-chip ranking (scores 72.6), directly below the RTX 4080 (72.8) and above the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU (72.1) and the RX 6800M Compute Engine record (71.6). Top-decile placement for a mainstream chip — the ranking rewards its balanced performance-per-watt profile. Read the family's pages together; the silicon is one design.

What the chip brings

The record lists 6 GB of GDDR6, an 80 W envelope and an 8 nm Ampere process. Public entries: PassMark 12,550, Time Spy 8,222, Fire Strike 21,689, GeekBench Vulkan 89,918 and OpenCL 88,251. CUDA and DLSS are supported.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: CS:GO and Overwatch at 240, Valorant at 230, Counter-Strike 2 at 220, The Witcher 3 at 179, Fortnite at 170, Dota 2 at 156, Forza Horizon 4 at 150, Far Cry 5 at 146, GTA V and PUBG at 140, Battlefield 5 at 130, Forza Horizon 5 at 124, Resident Evil 4 Remake at 110, Metro Exodus at 81 and Cyberpunk 2077 at 79. Every row clears 60 at 1080p high — the definition of a no-drama gaming chip.

Laptops that carry it

The 142-model roster is the broadest in this catalog: 2023 HP OMEN 16/17 machines ($971–$2,726), the Gigabyte G5 at $553, Alienware x17 R2/M17 R5/M15 R7/X14 (2022, $798–$1,260), Dell G15 5520/5525 ($870/$676) and more below. That breadth is the buying advantage: competition between listings keeps prices honest, and every chassis style — thin 14-inch to big 17-inch — is represented.

Bottom line

The RTX 3060 Laptop is the default recommendation of the used gaming market, and this record's data shows why: complete 60+ table at 1080p high, DLSS support, and a roster deep enough to find exactly the chassis you want at the price you want (from $553). The sibling 3060 records in this catalog tell the same story; the choice between them is a choice between listings, not silicon.
