The problem is the customisation is limited and you would find it cheaper to build it yourself. I always look at one and think maybe I can get a better gpu ir cpu at the same price if I build one myself 😂
You had to be there.
correction: 1060
Sadge but true
Correction 560ti
I think I sadly have to go for AMD.
Maybe I'll be able to find an 8 gb rx 580 at that point :(
These 3060 thingies actually exist now! ☺️ After 2 years of waiting for GPU prices to approach anything near sensible, I'm finally retiring my 8 years old hand-me-down Radeon R9 270 with one of these.
With the release of the Ryzen 5600 and 5700X (not a moment too soon), I think building PCs is getting exciting again. My jack of all trades, budget video editing rig will finally be complete.

Where I live the 3060ti is pretty close in pricing to the 3070. But between the 3060 and the 3060ti I would definitely get the 3060ti since it uses the same die as the rtx 3070, unlike the 3060. On the AMD side it's worth looking at the 6600xt since it offers great value at this time.

eh just wait till there's a crash in cryptocurrency value
Ha-ha! Are we sure that the video card manufacturers aren't taking advantage of all this pandemonium of WFH and cryptomining to boost their stock prices?
They are actually available in microcenter lol.
I think one of the reasons why the 1060 has lasted so long is that because of its initial and continued popularity, developers have optimized their titles for that specific GPU.
I was trying to get a 3070 for months. Eventually, I lucked out and scored a 3060 and the card is awesome. I’m getting 90-120 fps in 3440x1440p in COD vanguard. I’m very pleased with this card.

Nothing better to get a smile at the end of my day than watching another Out of Stock product review.

Laughs in Ukrainian prices that are 3x of the MSRP
its over 2.5x the Reference price here in NZ. and that's from retailers not "scalpers". Makes we wonder if the retailers are the scalpers here.
It's funny, I have a GTX 1060 6GB and didn't even realize it was considered such a good card. Handles anything I throw at it pretty well. Decided to bump to the 3060 but didn't realize how well that card held up with people.

Hell, I was originally planning in *April* with my tax refund, but pandemic hit and I needed to sit home for a few months and use that money to pay rent until it was safe enough to get into a cab again. Then, by the time I was back driving and earning money, we had this fiasco with the CPU & GPU chip supply (plus every human being suddenly needing every 10xx and up card for a Work-From-Home rig) and there is LITERALLY NOTHING even used available that comes CLOSE to my six-year-old, worn out GTX 970 that I want to give a peaceful retirement to; maybe some nice ol' grandma who wants to zoom with her family every now and again..
NOTHING ANYWHERE on new or used that's newer than a GT 730. And AMD? Try *ATI* Radeon cards for sale!
I have EVERYTHING else, case, cpu, cooler, mobo, ram, psu, storage all priced, available from multiple sources, new. But I'd have to drop my old clapped-out GTX 970 into it just to get it to display anything when it runs.
nVidia, AMD, Intel, Samsung, Hynix, Micron, y'all need to get your heads together and figure out WHAT you're doing (which yall have probably already done) and then someone needs to BE EFFING HONEST and tell the PUBLIC how long we can expect the 'chip drought' to inflict supply and for retail customers to have to wait.

oh ok so you got the laptop 3060. I'd say thats arguably a better deal considering how much less power it consumes while still getting reasonably close in performance to the desktop variant.
is it worth it to buy 3060 ti for these extra like 20 - 30 fps?
I really don’t care what they “got right” if I can’t get one. It basically becomes a fairytale if no one can buy it.
Well here you can buy it, but only for 530+ euros which is kinda 200 bucks more than msrp
Not to mention people who review them have multiple cards sitting around them in videos...
Honestly I'm not sure you want to if it perform the way it does at the price it is at, somewhere between 2060S and 2070 it doesn't really look good.

In my country, they started the sale 5mins before release time. And since its a store that has its main residence in neighboring country, all cards they had, were available there and none in ours.
Also, most of them ended in used market immediately, with 200€ margin added to already skyrocketed release price here.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq they sold them before release to miners that’s why. It’s even good at mining apparently regardless of what nvidia said about halving it’s mining performance.

I got incredibly lucky when building my first PC this year. I managed to find a Zotac 3060 at msrp. It hasn’t failed me yet and I don’t think it will for years and years to come
It won’t. When I got in to PC gaming I got in the headspace where I needed to play Ultramax settings on all my games all the time and upgrade to the newest graphics. The truth is this card is more powerful or just about as powerful as a base PS five and quite a bit more powerful than an Xbox series S so you’re basically guaranteed to run quality games for the next 3 to 4 years. Probably quite a bit longer.

GTA V gets like 120fps Ultra. The older AAA titles like AC Odyssey or Fallout 4 will run great on Ultra with 60fps+.

Let's just say I'm not happy with the way things turned out. F in the chat.
I was also considering building a prebuild and getting the gpu, but literally everything else is brand new (been slowly collecting my new PC part by part since last black friday).
@@detyvitanova749 Damon that sucks something rotten. I have been very reserved in choosing the parts needed. Took me a while to find what I wanted. Then it came to the GPU, that's when all my problems arose - just miners and scalpers messing with us gamers. All hail the day they make a video card that can only be used by us gamers
In 2016, when I upgrade my GPU, I bought myself a GTX 1060. In 2021, when I upgrade my GPU with the same budget, I gonna get a 1050 ti.
I was considering scalped priced just because I can sell my rx580 I got in 2016 for the price I payed +

I could sell my 1070ti for 200$ more than what I paid in 2018 (I think)

Why do we still mention scalpers when RETAIL is selling these for double or triple price.
So true - nobody seems to talk about this
This card is retailing at up to 1100 USD in my region right now lol
I guess that just makes those retailers part of the "scalper" group
Ever since the second or third time this has happened, where a launch occurs and hardly anyone gets a card, I've been under the impression that this is what top people in the industry want to happen.
The fact that all of the extra 20 series cards have sold because 30 series cards have been virtually non-existent is no coincidence.
I have no reason to believe that something shady is going on behind the scenes. On top of all that, I've been on a queue list for a card from EVGA since some time in October and have yet to receive my notification for my purchase window. I check on their website every day, and I haven't missed my notification. Meanwhile, I've seen countless random in stock alerts for the card and a lot of other EVGA 30 series cards on Best Buy, Newegg, etc.
I have absolutely zero faith in the GPU industry anymore. They keep this shit up and people are just gonna quit buying their bullshit.
@@hghtms4632 You really overestimate ppl. Everybody is gonna spend as much as they can to get their hands on any gpu right now. The whole situation seem like a big marketing experiment to me. How to legaly drain ppl money. And it's not just nvidia, i've seen a few RX 6900 xt at 1800 euro the past few weeks on retail, twice the price... Sold obviously. It's so stupid but not really suprising sadly.

They have a lot of cards, and this is the only way to get them. When I was there they had 3 3060s 5 3060tis, a couple 2080s a couple 3080s a few 3080tis and 2 3090s. I snagged the last 3060 for $492.

Just copped a pre built pc with this card installed. Funny how the projected market value of the card was the same cost of the whole pc
I have a 1080 right now, still works okay, but I want better graphics, i7-8700k processor too, trying to play the new mw2 is okay, would a 3060 be good to upgrade to, or would I need a new processor too for better graphics and running capabilities, im not good at knowing all the specs I need thanks for any help
If you have a i7-8700k the Rtx 3060 would be the perfect level for the processor and no cpu upgrade would be needed
Look, the 8700K is till great, it's not as strong as some 12th gen Intel or 5000 series AMD, but still amazing, don't touch it. Now, the 3060 performs too little above the 1080. Sometimes it's close to the 1080Ti but, 90% of the time, not a good upgrade compared to a GTX1080. You'll want at least the 3060Ti or the 3070. The RX 6700XT is a good choice too if you don't care about RTX, AMD fixed most driver issues with this gen.
Same system & I can play the game comfortably. Cpu might be the first thing you upgrade tbh
Just ordered a Strix 3060 (scalper price, but I payed what the card is worth to ME). Upgrading from a MSI 1070. Can't wait to get it in my system. After that, the definitive bottle neck in my rig will be the CPU (Ryzen 7 1700X), but I've got an upgrade lined up for that (cheap, too. Used parts from friends rule). Bonus, it will be my first GPU that matches and synergizes with the aesthetic of the rest of my rig. That aesthetic, of course, being Unicorn Barf powered by Aura Sync.

Finally ordered my RTX 3060 upgrade this week so I can move along from my GTX 1070 which I will be re-purposing. I went with the 3060 simply because I need a lot of video ram for deep learning tasks. I'm still confused as to why the 3060 has the 2nd best memory capacity of the 30xx series cards (granted the memory bandwidth is worse), but it works out now that I could snag one for a more reasonable price. I'm surely not complaining for entry-level deep learning performance on a budget. I still plan to move to a 3090 when I get the chance or build a workstation/server specifically for DL tasks. Thank God these card prices are finally coming down
Yeah, prices are down to pretty reasonable now. I got it for Blender rendering. 12gb VRAM and RTX cores means the render times should be pretty incredible, especially compared to my 1060 that has to load half the scene onto RAM. Gonna be SO nice to be rendering the same things in half the time, if not less.
