If you are still using 10 series, it's time. 16 series is okay but it's almost time to upgrade. And if you refuse to upgrade after that, don't complain about optimization in modern games designed for modern hardware
@@kirbyatethanos And that further proves my point making the RTX 3060 a good option for PC gaming without spending over 250 dollars, and if you have it already with a 1080p monitor it's not necessary to upgrade unless if you can afford to do so.
@lowliar8489 right I guess I was thinking of the 1060 but now that I think of it, the last time that there was a good gpu deal was in 2020 for the rtx 3080 and if you couldn't buy that, there isn't anything better now. So ig there just hasn't been a time to buy gpus at all.
I bought a 3060 12GB earlier this year and I will say its a HUGE leap over my 1050ti I had for years... I would had gone for the ti version but 8GB of vram made me get the non ti one. Since I do have games that can go into 8+GB range of vram usage.
But the games that go above 8gb vram usage are so demanding for a non-Ti 3060 that you'll have to lower your resolution or settings to the point where it doesn't really use all that vram anyway? Isn't that so?
@@user-ku5oo2cl3z For the games I did play on was mostly Resident Evil games with Raytracing funny enough. So they can hit over 8GB due to raytracing and textures. As well modding too which you can inflate vram usage too which is another main reason too.
@@user-ku5oo2cl3z That is not true. For example, I played No One Survived at 2K with ultra texures. The game was eating 11 GB of vram with 80-100 fps. 3060 ti should just have 16 GB of VRAM and no one would complain.
@@khalilcruz5816 it also depends on cpu you pair it with. I have a i5-10600KF (it’s decent) and i was only getting like 85-100 fps on mw3 even with custom settings set for performance unless i’m missing something.
Remember having to decide on whether to purchase 3060 vs 3060 ti. I went with the Ti because i felt i was getting a better value to performance. (even though nvidia foolishly crippled it with 8GB RAM). wound up selling it and upgrading to a RX 6800 after only a few months.

I have a 3060, and the best thing is that I can use it for gaming and also for running LLM's and Stable Diffusion. CodeLLAMA 13b/4bit runs nicely using exLLAMA-HF, and Stable Diffusion can do 1024px with ControlNet enabled in 1.5 models (I haven't tested SDXL on it). Unfortunately, the only upgrade path for it is the RTX 4070 or the upcoming 4070 Super.
both overpriced gpus sadly, i have a2070 myself which is equal in performance and the upgrade path from it is just horrendous, NO gpu is attractive in the current market.
@@SweatyFeetGirl Unfortunately I didn’t had too much choice. I needed at least 12gb vram for Llama2 13b models and CUDA support, so I’m limited to the 12gb 2060, 3060, 4060/ti 16gb (but they are awful), 4070 and beyond (or a 3090 but I don’t want the power consumption of a 90 class gpu).
SDXL works on it decently! Unfortunately it's slowish, but it can do the jobs handed to it. I'm gonna keep mine going for as long as I can, or at least long enough until Nvidia's machine learning crown has been taken by team blue and red... which is sadly still in the far future.
If the 3060ti had 12 GB of VRAM, I would have opted for it over the 3060. But 8GB isn't enough these days, so my lower tier RIG is happy with the 3060 12GB. Great video. 👍👍
Just bought a 3060 12gb by Zotac a couple months ago. Absolutely love it! Honestly I would recommend an AMD alternative if all you’re going to do is game on it. The 3060 12gb is a great GPU for an entry level content creator build (which is why I bought it). Don’t get me wrong I love AMD CPU’s, but I cannot stand how every person with an AMD card recommends them over Nvidia. You need to know what the person intends to use the GPU for. I would NOT recommend an AMD GPU for anything outside of gaming. AMD is just not there yet…hopefully one day, but not right now the cards are dog water for content creator’s.
Same! I currently run a 3060 12GB, and for my uses it's not hiccuped even once thanks to its big vram bank. Honestly, the entry of Intel is quite exciting. I'm hoping either team Red or team Blue can beat out Nvidia in the near future, because with the 40 generation of cards it's quite clear that Nvidia intends to squeeze content creators out of every penny.
For me, it did, and vram was a factor. I had a 4060 ti that had to go back due to coil wine and decided to go 3060 for price and win 7 compatibility even though I seldom boot into it anymore. Still nice to have the option... anyway, this card is a 1080P beast. I have it undervolted and overclocked, and top down tuned; starting at ultra, working down. I'm getting over 100 FPS in everything tested except for starfield, which is still getting 40-100 FPS depending on where I am. I'm not using dynamic res but do have FSR2 enabled with sharpening @ 80% and VRS in the case of starfield since it lacks even a modicum of optimization.
I bought an MSI 3060 a couple of months ago and i am very happy with it. Im going to run it for a few years and see what happens to prices for the 40- series and 50- series.
If it’s less than $250 then yes. If no, there are better options like the 6700/6700XT, 4060(despite the decrease in vram), a used 3080 on EBay goes for $370-$450.
it should be half the price of the 4060 at the very least. specially considering nvidia is pushing their frame gen so hard and the 3060 does not* have it.
That's where the Zotac 3060 12GB White was, brand new (it's now sold out).The MSI Ventus, Zotac (black) and Gigabyte Gaming (3 fan) all clock in at under $300 USD on Newegg right now, and you can probably get a used 3060 12GB for 200usd (there's a Gigabyte Eagle 2 fan refurbished at that price right now). If you're even willing to consider the 4060 price bracket, then 6700XT is a clear winner. If you're considering content creation and that's why you're not on team Red, then the 3060 12GB will be able to handle tasks that'll choke on the 4060's 8GB vram. In both cases, the 4060 is a no-buy. If it had been a 16GB card at a low premium, it would've knocked the competition out of the park- but no, Nvidia made a lemon out of it.

The issue with all of RTX 3000 series is Nvidia, everyone thinks the tech is 2 years old when it really is not, people had to wait over a year to afford one because of the dumb Bitcoin mining fools and the greed of Nvidia selling pallets of cards just to miners before the public ever even got ahold of the product. RTX 4000 series should even exist right now as not needed, Nvidia needs to get off their lazy azz and improve RTX 3000 series with drivers being they took well over one year off not selling to the public.
Couldn't have said it better myself, you're absolutely right. I wasn't even able to get my hands on a 3080 until they released the 12GB model in the middle of 2022 - nearly two years after the 3000 series debut!
guys guys guys why do you criticising 3060 ??? its 2023 all of the cards facing huge performance issues thanks to developers with dlss in mind games only look 10% batter and 400% harder to run (in starfields case -10% and 500% harder to run )
Yup it still worth, if you can find it at a reasonable price of course, i wouldnt pay 300€/$ or higher for it at this point when for that price you have the 4060 or an RX 6700/6700 XT if can still find stock of it.
For a lot of us is a mad GPU, because we have access to pretty much all the latest productivity technologies and 12 gb of VRAM for less than 300 dollars and can also run games pretty well, just is a matter of turning down a few unnoticeable settings in games
I have Asus tuf 3060 12Gb and i think its a solid high end piece of hardware for me with reasonable performance for my budget wallet as i have low income in my country ao i can't get high end pc parts so i love it its good for me at 1080p
3060 went for as low as $220usd during black Friday so that was quite a solid deal. Also, used is going for $200cad which is $145usd so the prices mentioned in this video makes no sense for used
ehh, its pretty decent... i ordered one yesterday, due that i building a new gaming pc for myself in this christmas, but after 3-4 years, i plan to upgrade the gpu. and since most modern AAA games sucks, i think i be okay, becouse most of the time, only triple A games need a beast of a GPU, due to the lazyness of the company, since they try to make the highest graphical details as possible, rather than putting actual content in the game, that is worth playing...
i am using a 3060 12 gb and i run everything, not max'd out or anything , but high , very high settings, i can run maxd but as a FPS shooter player more frames the better, less detail the better
Well Steam survey has it as top gpu now, I have one 12gb in house got in EVGA que during the great gpu shortage so paid MSRP when this was over 700$US, it is a 1080p gaming PC its in, it gets the job done :) also my laptop has a 3060 in it :)
The 3060 is sure the most average GPU but it is a huge upgrade from the 1650 which was the previous most average GPU. You are getting double the speed and I don't see an issue with that
I had a 3060 for a few days 2 years ago but never opened it. I bought a 6700XT instead and returned the 3060. The price then was 550 for the 3060 and 620 for the 6700XT. Prices are about half now or less. But considering how demanding games are now they should be even cheaper. Even my 6900XT struggles in some recent games. Only 1080p is possible in Alan Wake 2 according to tests I’ve seen. 2 years ago a 250 3060 would have been amazing. Now im not very impressed.
I built a new pc in 2022. My former daily use pc is now a machine learning station I use to teach myself data science and deep learning with neural networks. It has a 3060 12 gb. I don't care about fps
@@Noodles1922 hasn't happened yet. i would only listen to AMD statements about their stuff not a bunch of nvidia fanboys spreading misinformation like they always do.
i have a msi ventus 3x..it is a decent starter card for A.i and most games...it can certainly utilize the 12gbs of vram during A.I rendering(all of it if you push it hard enough...my 2080 smokes it though..by 15 to 30 fps in games..but ampere is way more modern than turing..my 3070ti proves that..still the 3060 is fine for 1080p..its problems was its gimped processor...by the way me 3060 is new and the box says:lhr..so i presume its low hash rate.
Nice benchmark. For only a bit more I think the 3060ti or 6700xt are much better buys. At the same money I think the 6600 will win, but we'll see for sure in your next video.
It makes no sense at all at around $250, considering you can get an rtx 4060 for around $300. Sure the vram is less but the 8gb vram isn’t that much of an issue considering the speed of both cards nowadays…. Unless you actually need the vram, the 4060 is better.
You completely missed the elephant in the room - this is by far the cheapest you can pay for that much vram. Maybe doesn't matter so much for gaming. But Vram is the single limiting factor for ai art and llms because the entire model must fit in ram. The next card with this much vram is hundreds more expensive.
If you are looking for a 4060 but can find a 3060 for the same price of less then there is no reason to not get the 3060, since the 4060 is a pile of crap and literally has the same performance.
if yall want to go used a used 6800 or xt version is literally better i went from 1050ti to 6800xt that i pay 350$ for its literally night and day perfomance diff
brand new no way it's an awful deal. Used under 210$ maybe . But considering that if you are on that budget then every cent and fps counts then you should just get an rx 6600xt/6650xt is a way better deal. You ain't doing no pro video editing or ray tracing with a 3060 so forget about the "productivity" excuse. The only thing you are getting is DLSS everything else is inferior.

I had a 3060 for a few days 2 years ago but never opened it. I bought a 6700XT instead and returned the 3060. The price then was 550 for the 3060 and 620 for the 6700XT. Prices are about half now or less. But considering how demanding games are now they should be even cheaper. Even my 6900XT struggles in some recent games. Only 1080p is possible in Alan Wake 2 according to tests I’ve seen. 2 years ago a 250 3060 would have been amazing. Now im not very impressed.
Dude my rx580 still ite I am gonna upgrade tho soon 😂
I built a new pc in 2022. My former daily use pc is now a machine learning station I use to teach myself data science and deep learning with neural networks. It has a 3060 12 gb. I don't care about fps
meanwhile, after seeing the direction this generation games are going, I'm still wondering if the 4070 makes any sense....
alan wake 2 exhibits very poor performance on a 3060,even at low/med settings.
5700xt and 2070 super goes for 150-220$ and performs better
@@Noodles1922 hasn't happened yet. i would only listen to AMD statements about their stuff not a bunch of nvidia fanboys spreading misinformation like they always do.
it can just about run palworld at miniumum and it does it good. so it means it is on the brink of death of that generation but still okay
i have a msi ventus 3x..it is a decent starter card for A.i and most games...it can certainly utilize the 12gbs of vram during A.I rendering(all of it if you push it hard enough...my 2080 smokes it though..by 15 to 30 fps in games..but ampere is way more modern than turing..my 3070ti proves that..still the 3060 is fine for 1080p..its problems was its gimped processor...by the way me 3060 is new and the box says:lhr..so i presume its low hash rate.
3:56 sure but good luck trying to run modern games, like Alan Wake 2 that utilize dx 12 ultimate (12_2) features on the cards above 3060
Nice benchmark.
For only a bit more I think the 3060ti or 6700xt are much better buys. At the same money I think the 6600 will win, but we'll see for sure in your next video.
It makes no sense at all at around $250, considering you can get an rtx 4060 for around $300.
Sure the vram is less but the 8gb vram isn’t that much of an issue considering the speed of both cards nowadays….
Unless you actually need the vram, the 4060 is better.
In my country 4060 cheaper than rtx 3060 12gb
RTX 3060 is a good budget graphics card, no less, no more
Synthetic benchmarks are not important, I would argue that they are the least important benchmark you can run....
Days gone isn't flawless I can see stutters on the graph
You completely missed the elephant in the room - this is by far the cheapest you can pay for that much vram. Maybe doesn't matter so much for gaming. But Vram is the single limiting factor for ai art and llms because the entire model must fit in ram. The next card with this much vram is hundreds more expensive.
Not to mention because of the RAM this is a VR beast
THE MIGHTY R9 295X2!!!!
If you are looking for a 4060 but can find a 3060 for the same price of less then there is no reason to not get the 3060, since the 4060 is a pile of crap and literally has the same performance.
if yall want to go used a used 6800 or xt version is literally better
i went from 1050ti to 6800xt that i pay 350$ for its literally night and day perfomance diff
brand new no way it's an awful deal. Used under 210$ maybe . But considering that if you are on that budget then every cent and fps counts then you should just get an rx 6600xt/6650xt is a way better deal.
You ain't doing no pro video editing or ray tracing with a 3060 so forget about the "productivity" excuse. The only thing you are getting is DLSS everything else is inferior.
Totally regret the 3060ti purchase...already a piece of e waste since useless for anything teleased in 2023
A RTX 4070 is the most budget friendly Future proof card right now from Nvidia.
if you bought it for $200 or less, yes. otherwise, no since used 6700XTs go for somewhere around the $250 mark
Better get used RX 6700 XT, more powerful, and updated feature like frame generation which is amd fluid motion frame.
It's a 900p GPU today.
I use it to game at 1440p lol
@@Neilos-sd6ti well it was a 1080p GPU upon release.
3060 sucks !
