Hi @red7816,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The HP Omen Accelerator is a device that allows you to add desktop-grade graphics cards to a laptop or PC via an external GPU (eGPU) setup. It typically supports NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, but compatibility depends on several factors, such as.

• Power Requirements: The HP Omen Accelerator provides a 500W power supply, which is generally sufficient for most modern GPUs, including an RTX 3060. However, the RTX 3060 with 12GB of VRAM might have slightly higher power demands compared to the 6GB version, so it's important to ensure your specific GPU model doesn't exceed the power capacity of the accelerator.
• Physical Size: The accelerator can house full-sized GPUs, so you will need to check the dimensions of the RTX 3060 you're considering to ensure it fits inside the accelerator's enclosure. Most standard RTX 3060 models should fit, but it's a good idea to check the GPU's specific length and height.
• Connection Type: The HP Omen Accelerator uses a PCIe x16 interface, which is compatible with most modern GPUs, including the RTX 3060.
• Driver Support: Make sure you install the latest drivers for the RTX 3060, as compatibility with external GPUs may require up-to-date software.

In general, you should be able to use an RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM on the HP Omen Accelerator, as long as the GPU's power requirements, size, and driver support align with the accelerator's specifications.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
