GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is the explicitly mobile-named record for the most common RTX GPU in the used catalog — the GA106 workhorse that powered a generation of mainstream gaming laptops, matched here to 142 models with benchmarks in 123 games at 1080p. This guide covers the record's 2026 standing and the machines around the chip.

Where the RTX 3060 Mobile sits in 2026

This record scores 72.6 and ranks 31st of 341 scored mobile GPUs, in a remarkable cluster: the chip's own sibling records — RTX 3060 (Laptop) and RTX 3060 — sit directly beside it at the same score, with the RTX 3080 Laptop record (73.1) and RTX 4080's alternate record (72.8) just above, and the current-generation RTX 5060 Laptop GPU (72.1) just below. Three naming records for one piece of silicon, ranking within a few places of each other and of chips two tiers above — the table is telling you the 3060 was overbuilt for its price, and the market noticed.

What the chip brings

This record carries the full engineering picture: the GA106 die on an 8 nm process, 3,840 shader cores, 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 336 GB/s of bandwidth, a recorded boost clock of 1,425 MHz, about 10.9 TFLOPS and an 80 W-class thermal design. Ray tracing cores, DLSS upscaling and Resizable BAR are all on the feature list, with CUDA for compute work. Public benchmarks for this record run around 12,600 PassMark points and a 3DMark Time Spy graphics score near 8,200 — the modest spread against the chip's other records reflecting, once again, which laptops fed which dataset.

FPS in games at 1080p

Competitive titles run at the ceiling: CS:GO and Overwatch at 240 FPS on the high preset, Forza Horizon 6's record at 240, Valorant at 190, Counter-Strike 2 at 170, Fortnite, GTA V and FIFA 22 at 140, and Apex Legends at 135 rising to 164 on medium. The AAA catalog holds at high settings — the Witcher 3 at 142, the Resident Evil 4 remake at 124, Forza Horizon 5 at 120, Forza Horizon 4 at 110, Far Cry 5 at 112, Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 116 rising to 155 and Cyberpunk 2077 at 103. The heaviest ports sit at the boundary: Atomic Heart 75 rising to 131, God of War 73 rising to 90, Hogwarts Legacy 70 rising to 88, Dying Light 2 64 rising to 73 and The Last of Us 55 rising to 66.

Laptops that carry it

The 142-model roster spans the whole 2022–2023 gaming market. Dell's G15 5520 and 5525 anchor the value end at $676–$870, with the Gigabyte G5 (2023) undercutting everything at $553. Alienware's X14, x17 R2, M17 R5 and M15 R7 cover $798–$1,260; HP's OMEN 16 runs $971–$1,284 and the OMEN 17 reaches $2,171–$2,726. Roster medians: gaming index 75, 49 games clearing recommended settings, energy efficiency 75.2 — balanced numbers for a tier that dominates the used gaming market by volume.

Bottom line

Whichever name a listing uses — RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Mobile or RTX 3060 Laptop GPU — the silicon and the verdict are the same: a DLSS-equipped mainstream GPU that still ranks alongside current-generation releases, rides in laptops from $553, and plays the entire esports catalog at full speed with the AAA catalog at high-to-medium settings. The compare pages against the RTX 3050, 4060 and 5060 draw the lines. For used buyers who want one answer without research, this chip family is it: the most machines to choose from, at every budget from value to halo.
