Picked up the a Zotak 3060ti. It is smaller than I thought but the thing is pretty powerful and loud. Undervolting it does the trip and surprisingly gives higher FQ boosts because it stays cooler.
It is not the best. These are all cheaper 2 fan models. Gainward Phoenix, Asus Rog Strix/TUF, MSI Gaming, Gigabyte Gaming/Aorus are all better than the tested ones.
One thing that is missing here is information about ability to correct fan speed curves. Not every model on the market has 0 rpm mode (when idle) for example. Gainword idles at 0 rpm but than starts at 30% fan speed and it's unable to operate in 0 - 30% fan speed range at all. These are important factors.
Oh yes, what I was looking for. Your video just helped me make my buying decision. Didn't knew that Gigabyte had a plastic backplate. Will buy the MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X dual fan model.
@@flewflu226 plastic backplates make the card look and feel cheap, and really kill the whole point of a backplate which is to strengthen the PCB. Well it does strenghten the PCB but not to the extent of a metal backplate. And to add up, metal backplates also help reduce temperatures as heat could be dissipated into them with thermal pads.

This was what I was looking for. The price ranges are similar, but that begs the question to me, which one to get? What are the key differences? That noise one really did it for me, and now I see why the Gainward one got so many good reviews. I'm definitely getting that one, so thank you very much for an in depth dive into these GPU's.
Hey man I see your comment is kinda fresh so can i ask you a question? So basically I want to upgrade from my 2060 to 3060ti ghost but I am afraid that it wont pay of . Do you think that its worth it?
@@maticorozel7556 I am no expert, but I do believe that the upgrade is worth it. However, that depends on what kind of gaming you want to do. If it is 1080p gaming without Ray Tracing enabled, then this card will do the trick. If you want to go for anything above that, 1440p is doable, but I would recommend a 3070 Ti in that case.
Great review and it's nice to see someone focus on the mainstream afford options. Though, at this point it is probably best to try and get the founders edition. It is the cheapest option with some of the lowest thermals and noise. Third parties have really dropped the ball this time around.
Got the Eagle for 559 right now. The Zotac was the next cheapest 3060Ti at 749 Euro. I got the non OC Eagle though but that doesn't really matter as it's just 30MHz more clock you can add with software anyway, looks exactly the same.
Are you satisfied?i ordered the same card as you at 629 euros and the next cheapest is at 800 euros!!We now is a beast but how is the noise and the temps?and your psu how many watts it have?mine is CORSAIR CX550 BRONZE 80+.It is enough?
I have been searching for a long time for this comparison. Thank you with all my heart But I still have a question, what is better at mining than these?
Bought the Gainward 3060ti a little overpriced but it was totally worth it guys low temps, good frames in all games, it's amazing, my friend with a normal Zotac 3070 runs games like 10fps more than me on average (Max settings)
Ya my gigabyte eagle rtx 3060 ti is a bit noisy but that's mostly due to my crappy pre built computer case from Ibuypower. But that will be swapped out for a high airflow case and I noticed with that card if the room is nice and cool it wont rev up and down like crazy so it depends how cool and airflow the case is. :)
2:10 i bought 1060 from gigabyte, temps with load and 100% fan were going into high 70's within seconds from adding the load. After swapping for arctic cooler its now 60^, with mining load 65. Sometimes there are huge diferences, but maybe not in 30xx series. Just wanted to leave the comment here so people buying older cards wont be trapped with what you said
I just bought the Palit one for 20 bucks less than the Gainward one. It was the cheapest, so my decision was made basically on that, since all the rest is almost the same...besides, I quite like how the Palit looks too. To be clear, I bought it in Brazil, so usd 20 = 100 BRL difference.
I get the gist, that as long as comparing different RTX 3060ti, they are in the same ball-park, but I wonder why the number of Pcie plugs required indicates something different? Owner of an MSI, Ventis X3-3060ti. My Graphics card has one 8 pin power connector, MSI also offers the 3060 Ti GAMING X TRIO that uses two 8pin Pcie connectors. No buyer's remorse- but I still have a feeling the Gaming X trio would have been a better card, with better power control. Is this for better Overclocking potential? Would the difference even appear to someone not tweaking their PC? I think some of the reason MSI offers different tiers of cards within the same family is to get the consumer to spend extra money on the bragging rights, but I also think their is some legitimacy to buying the higher priced card.
I bought the palit one because its the 2nd Lowest price in my country after the galax one... And it has rgb lol. Would've wanted the zotac but i want the "geforce rtx" to have lights :D
@@woodywolf0309 its been great. Im running on a 34 inch 1440p monitor and can play most triple a games smoothly. Temps are fine but i have it undervolted ever since to reduce temp below 70c. No real issues besides controlling the rgb without thundermaster
So currently I have Palits model for 680e, Gainward for 735e and Gigabyte triple fan version Gaming OC Pro for 775e. Which one would you recommend ? Is it worth paying more for better cooling ? How noisy are these in real condition when gaming and you have sound in game on low do you hear the 2x fan ones ?
Ghost seems to have a better cooling solution but that's not telling the whole story. Both are entry level with plastic backplates and an insane price.
I'm buying a gainward 3060 12 gigs. $575 where I live. Don't know if I'll have another chance. My guess is the scalpers and miners will buy everything in the future.
Bro, I was looking at an RX 5700 XT on eBay for the $410 retail... Watched a video to see benchmarks, refreshed the page, and it's been sold.... I knew I should've bought it last night before I went to bed lol. Thinking of getting the Gainward RTX 3060 Ghost OC 12GB, but it's $800+ on eBay right now...
Hi. I got a question, you probably bought the gainward 3060 12gb by now so how is it? Is it reliable? I mean is everything ok?the frames in games, temperature, sound?
i recently bought a 3060ti eagle, and am playing hogwarts legacy on it. its works nice i get avg. 60fps on 1440p (high/ultra). But the card get really hot 85-87C and the fans kick in pretty loud. Is it normal to have such high temperatures for the 3060ti eagle?
I have a Zotac model and with vsynch off, the temps are around 88C. The highest temps that I have seen on a gfx card till date. Changing thermal pads and paste didn't seem to work. With vsynch on, temps are in the 65C range.
Got the Palit one for free, cuz DHL couldnt return the package when i asked for a refund and the store where i bought it told me to keep it (The store is ML)
@@laszlobedo929 btw, the gpu arrived yesterday and indeed it was free, and i used the spare money to buy a new Case, vents and even a ps5 controller for Elden Ring lol
i think gainward is the best budget level rtx but i cant stop thinking why is it cheap? well that has to mean cheap pcb, cheap fans and bad longevity? no?
probabbly because their fan cover (idk what is called) were 3d printed which lower the cost, performance and temperature wise, it's as good like other brand like colorfull. As for their fans, I own and run it 24/7 for 1 year without any problems...
Im planning to get palit rtx3060 is it ok?I mean like its tempreture in games anyone who have this card plz tell me that is the temp ok?and what do you think about it?
Just set power limit to 75% and never go more than 70c on 2000rpm and 150w consumption. Totally ok for bad flow case like mine, paired with 5600x you can play everything on ultra on 1080p and high on 2k
my zotac runs games good if it pulls hard you do hear it but fix v sync and not a big deal if you like to run your card on MAX POWER and cry about sound then it will be some thing
