What the RTX 3060 is good for

Quantized LLM Inference

Run compact or quantized language models within the 12 GB VRAM envelope using pre-configured Ollama or vLLM templates.

Image Generation with ComfyUI

Execute standard diffusion workflows and image synthesis pipelines that comfortably fit inside 12 GB of memory.

PyTorch Prototyping and Debugging

Develop and test CUDA code on an Ampere card with compute capability 8.6 before scaling workloads to larger hardware.

Small-Scale Model Fine-Tuning

Perform parameter-efficient fine-tuning on modest datasets where about 12.0 TFLOPS of compute is sufficient.

Is it the right GPU for you?

Choose the RTX 3060 for development, prototyping, and lightweight inference tasks that require 12 GB of VRAM without the expense of datacenter hardware. Opt for a larger GPU if your models exceed 12 GB or require higher memory bandwidth than about 318 GB/s, or a smaller GPU if you only run minimal scripts with lower memory demands.

Frequently asked questions

Is the RTX 3060 suitable for LLM inference and image generation?

Yes, the 12 GB of VRAM is well-suited for running smaller or quantized language models via Ollama and vLLM, as well as standard diffusion models in ComfyUI. For larger unquantized models that exceed 12 GB, you will need a GPU with a higher memory capacity.

How does this consumer Ampere card compare to larger GPUs?

The RTX 3060 provides a generous 12 GB memory buffer for an entry-level consumer card, alongside about 12.0 TFLOPS of compute and about 318 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Stepping up to higher-tier consumer or workstation GPUs provides faster memory bandwidth and more compute throughput for heavy training.

How do I connect to and set up my RTX 3060 instance?

Every rental on ONIE includes direct SSH access for full command-line control. You can also launch immediately using ready templates for PyTorch/CUDA, vLLM, Ollama, or ComfyUI.

How does billing work for the RTX 3060 on ONIE?

Instances are billed on a per-hour basis while your rental is active. This allows you to run experiments on an Ampere architecture card with compute capability 8.6 and terminate the instance when finished.
