3060 12GB is now $249.99 i just bought 12 of them for the family.
frivolous
12? Brother could you get me one extra? 🤣🤣🤣
i cant find anything on it is it good and better than the ti 8gb??
Save some for me… can’t buy one until friday
@@froud3no
Bonus: The 3060 holds up well for VR gaming due to the 12gb vram
Runs all my games at 1440p at 60 fps plus turn down the settings can easily get anywhere between 70-160fps
Bought an RTX 3060 12gb recently and I'm more than happy enough right now with its performance = price. I also mostly retro PC game nowadays anyway :-)
Dude, same here. I bought a rtx 3060 because I knew I wasnt going to be playing the latest AAA game, newest I'll be playing will be Insomniac's Spider-Man and GOW reboot, but the gtx 3060 can handle those, but besides those every other game I'll be playing will be ps3/Xbox 360 era and older so I So I don't need an ultra powerful GPU.
For me the 12gb vram and cuda support are the reasons I got a 3060, and the reason why my only upgrade path (at least for now) is the 4070.
Should have got the 3060Ti for 1080.
3060 12 GB owner here, I will be waiting for the 5000 series for my next upgrade. 4070 is solid but not mind blowing
I just got one because I could not find a 3070 for 3 years so when the 4070 came out it was also hard to find and price gauging was going on. Ended up getting it from Nvidia at least it was retail -$70.00 game diablo 4 i was going to buy either way. Net cost 530.00 At 1080P/240HZ it plays everything I want at max settings. Im set for many years. Yes I have 4k (two 65") 1440 and 1080. I prefer high refresh always over rez.
@@SpaceLion949 Agreed. Upgrading every gen is a dum thing to do bcoz any upgrade which wouldn't guarantee a 30-50% boost is trashing your money. I went from 750ti to rx580 then 3060ti.. and probably wouldn't upgrade until top tier 40 or 50 series don't drop down crazy when the 6000 series is out
Just stick with it till 5000 series or 6000 series even! Games will not demand more than 12 gb for years to come and 3060 is good enough for them! 4070 is just not worth it

The 3060 12gb is criminally underrated. It's super efficient, nearly silent and barley generates any heat. The 192 bit bus, 12gb of vram and AV1 codecs makes it the perfect card for both gaming and content creation on a budget. I mostly play competitive shooters on a 24 inch 1080p monitor at 144hz, and the 3060 12gb is perfect for this.
It's AV1 decode only.
^this, for encoding it uses Nvenc.
Or use the Cpu like i do (5700x)
Just pick on up for 220 brand new, under volt well and runs like a champ. 12gb vram at that price sealed the deal.
I could have upgraded to a 4060 from my 3050, but 8gb suck on modded Skyrim, now with the 3060 it goes up to 10.5gb of vram usage, and completely eliminated the constant stutters, also several of the new games are choking on 8gb.
Many of the 2nd hand 3060s will have been used previously in mining before the big crash. The 8gb 3060 model suffers performance issues from having much less bandwidth on the 128bit bus, as opposed to the 12gb model on its 192bit bus.
i sold and bought mining cards before as long as the seller did not screw with it the card is perfectly fine in most cases
@@komikopright I just replaced the thermal paste and pads to get the most out of the card while staying cool
There's absolutely nothing wrong with mined cards, unless they are visibly dog-tired or damaged/fan issues, they're the best to buy. Where I live you can find 3060s for around 160$ and 3060ti for 185-205 depending if it's a monster card like ROG or just a Palit or MSI
Hey man maybe you should make the gpu thats on the spotlight have a different coloured bar compared to the rest.
Makes it easier to digest for our coloured vision impaired folks
I got to say RTX 3060 is doing an amazing job after 3 years. Runs most games on 1440p with more than 90 fps. I am glad I picked this card.
I got the exact gpu, the Galax RTX 3060 12gb for $211 a few months ago. Its good enough for 1080p gaming in rasterization. Not recommended for any kind of ray tracing, dlss is very useful though. It can go upto 1867Mhz @837mV getting 60-65°C on CP2077 High-Medium 1080p with RT Reflections around 60-70fps with dlss quality. Planning to get RX 77/7800XT for the holidays
which CPU?
thinking about finaly pulling the 9700k behind the shed for a word, and bring in a 7800X3D, but with a 3060ti seems like a bit of a huge waste
@diogovieira3362 i5 is fine something like 12500 , heck a 10400f would be fine with it
@@diogovieira3362 I'm using R5 5600 stock
Have one, 12gb vram was good. Also have a 1060 and 7900XTX.
I paid a lot for my 3060 in 2022 at around $355usd. It was as low as around $220usd during the holidays/Black Friday 2023. At that price, it’s really good. The 8gb version actually isn’t as good due to the narrower 128bit bus and the 12gb version also has 50% more cache, resulting in 17-30% performance uplift depending on the game
The 12gb and 8gb models do not perform similarly. Check Gamers Nexus if you want to see the performance difference between the two.
I bought a brand new pc with a 7800 XT, 7800X3D and 32 GB of DDR5 and i love it.. it’s a monster, starfield 1080p ultra across the board at like 150 FPS
Thats a nice pc 🤛
Is 3060 good for video editing with 10400f
Some filmmakers recommend this as a "budget" GPU for 4K video editing. I've my eyes on it right now and patiently waiting for sales.
I had a gigabyte 3070ti 12gb, and I'd still get skipped and lag spikes in games.
I then got an msi ventus 2x 3060 12gb, and my gameplay is super smooth with just about 100fps less than what the 3070ti gave me
Msi 3060 super 12gb cp2 all ultra setting rt and what not. Runs like a dream.
In my province right now i can get a new rx 6750 xt, rx 6700 xt, rx 6650 xt or a 4060 for the same price or lower as a base 3060....in the used market we see a lot of 6800 xt's, 3070 ti's and 3080's for around the same price or 50-100$ more...not a good value at all at that price in many countries when the only thing that gives it value is the nvidia name, rt performance* and dlss.
Gtx 3060 12gb is the best value no reason to upgrade unless you want to piss money away.
The vram is the only reason why it's like that. Add a little more dollars and you get the 6700xt
@pauloazuela8488 nvidia drivers better so is dlss better than amd Frame gen
Literally bought the Asus 12gb 3060 OC edition for $329 today vs $609 for the 4060 16gb. I can live with the 3060 for a couple of years at that price.
@@terrorcuda1832 smart man, keep an eye out for 4070 on sale for halfway upgrade or just upgrade your entire system in 3 or 4 years and get 3x the power for 1/2 the cost
I remember when people were like OOF for that price...
But once the price bottomed and for a while it was the only decent choice Nvidia really had. I remember that too. I bought one.
And I can play games on it, just fine. It does the upscaling tricks, it does the RT if I really want too.
It works FINE. And yeah, with 12Gbyte at least I won't be throttling! Do not get those 8Gbytes!
TechArc : The RTX 3000 and RTX 4000 have DOUBLED number of CUDA cores on paper due to Nvidia percieving that their FP compute power is TWICE as fast as in the RTX Pascal refresh 2000 series. The real physical CUDA number is divided by 2. So the RTX 3060 12GB has 1792 CUDA cores in reality. Steve from Hardware Unboxed explained that in his RTX 3080 10GB launch review.
That's why 2060S goes neck a neck with 3060. And these "extra cores" also are responsible for the much higher TFLOPs. 3060 has 12, 3060ti 16 and 2060 Super only has 7 tflops but performs on par with 3060
@@upfront2375 you dont understand....all of the RTX 2000, 3000 and 4000 series cards have fake CUDA core numbers. In reality they all have exactly 1/2 of what Nvidia states as.
Gotta read up on that one. If it's anything like virtual cores and extra threads then I wouldn't care. But you sure that you understood what I said about the 2060 super being on par with 3060? 12 tflops = 7 tflops. 3500cuda=2100. Explain that since you apparently understand way better than me
@@upfront2375 nomenclature for advertising is the same for the RTX 3000 and 4000 series....if I accounted in the 2000 series as well, that was my mistake :-).
Yes, you are right about the CUDA core numbering. They are directly correlated to the actual rang of performance.
As for the TFLOPs goes, that's a theoretical calculated capability that os defined by frequency, TMUs, ROPs, memory bandwidht, efficiency, and CUDA cores. It's only partially correlated to the real world performance measurements.
Not at all does the 8gb 3060 perform as the 12 gb card
forget the 8gb
Love the graphics and the quality of the video, you’re doing good work. But just remove all instances of “stick around” and “stay tuned” it was fine once at the beginning but hearing it at the end of every chapter made me stop watching the video.
Thanks for the tips!
The 3060 8GB does NOT preform the same as it's 12GB variant WHATSOEVER
using an rtx 3060 12gb on a gigabyte x570 board 64gb ram an amd ryzon5600g and 3x 2tb nvme ssd with 6 tb hdd for storage on 4k panel handles everything i throw at it wont be upgrading anytime soon.
Got the 3060 Msi Gaming x for 276$ recently
Same got a good deal so i could not let it pass for 210
Only game i struggle in with 3p60 12gb is star citizen
i was waiting on a gpu and bought a rtx 3060, because they had a sale and it came with a free game i couldnt pass that deal, went up from a 1050 ti, i imagine thats why everyone got it for a budget and capabilities
Bro like im so confused how this channel doesnt have atleast 100k subs, like this quality is on par with Linus Tech Tips
In my county the rtx 4060 costs just 15 to 20 dollars more so rtx 3060 12gb or rtx 4060? , this gonna be ma first gaming pc
3060 12gb vram is gonna help in long run, games being designed to use 12gb vram so anything under gonna struggle hard

@@kahlernygard809 thanks and any other graphic card suggestion, better performance in editing than 3060 and 50 to 100 dollars more price than 3060 12gb.
I do feel bad I upgraded my 3060 for a 4080 since it worked fine, but I wanted next gen gaming at 4K and playing vr stable and with Russias war tomorrow isn't guaranteed, I can say it was overpriced but it was worth it.
With the money I saved from not buying a 4090 had enough to go out on dates before anyone says wow should've bought a 4090 what a waste. I could either upgrade to a 4080 and have money for dates. Or 4090 and be alone gaming.
I have a 3060 and I've been thinking I want to upgrade. Maybe ill spring for a new cpu instead, currently have a R5 5600x
lol jeez no, your CPU is fine
Your gpu can go far yet a lot farther than the 3060
Not really worth it 5600x3d or 5800x3d if you find one of those cheap sure but the 5600x is not that slow probably not worth it. Id wait for the next round of GPUs 3060 can play most games well at 1080P.
anything other than AAA garbage games, the 3060 runs everything smooth as butter, and with the frame generation mods that are out there, one can easily play cyberpunk with ray tracing at stable 75FPS
if it wasnt for productivity work, I would have gone with an AMD card for a friend's build. But the 3060 12gb is rock solid in performance and the sweet spot in most of my friend's situation. Too good too pass.
I too want to take mainly for editing. Is 3060 12gb good for 4k video editing or u can suggest any other best graphic card around 50 to 100 dollars more price than 3060 12gb graphic card.
I want to pair it with i7 14700k as i7 13700k ane i7 14700k nearly same price in our area. So am taking i7 14700k than my earlier choice of i7 13700k
@@PradeepKumar-tq4ev I'm not a video editor but based on the small research I did, a 3060 will be fine for video editing. What you actually want is a good cpu. So for this build I did for my friend I used a an intel 12600k. Do NOT get an F sku CPU (12100F, 13100F, 12400F, 12600F, 12600KF etc etc) if it has an F in the cpu name then stay away. The F sku doesn't have integrated graphics. You want that integrated graphics because they have encoders that help with workflow. You lose up to 30-40% of performance if you do not have that integrated graphics. This applies even if you have a dedicated GPU. Even if you have like a 3090. I think the CPU encoders are still better on the CPU (gpu will still help but not as good when compared to cpu encoders if that makes sense). But when you have both, they work together so its still good to have dedicated gpu.
One example I heard is that in premier pro, it will put the video codec playback on the intgrated graphics from the cpu while some of the video effects will use your gpu to work on those graphics and effects.
I get all that information from a video editing focused channel called "Tech Notice" so look him up on youtube for more in depth information when it comes to Video editing and cpu encoders.
@@naitomea_st oh thanks so much 🙏 and yes from beginning I want to take a cpu with integrated graphics not because of encoders thing as I don't know about it. I want to take cpu with integrated graphics because what if the dedicated graphics card fail or don't work, then integrated graphics will be helpful in showing display and other small graphic wrks 😅😅
@@naitomea_st so then I wanna pair i7 14700k with 3060 12gb. As powerful cpu is must for video editing 😄 what do u say 🥰
Just replaced my 3060Ti with a 7900XT. And although the 3060Ti was a good card, I really love the 7900XT. The 3060Ti just didn't age well with its only 8 GB VRAM and raw performance wasn't enough for my UWQHD monitor anymore.
I'm probably going to sell it because it also doesn't earn a place in my "epic GPUs collection".

I think a rtx 3060 gets the job well done, ive played countless of realism games like gta with quant v and nve and it puts up like a beast!
You can't compare core totals in different generations. This is basic knowledge. Even GPU-Z tells you this.
I would argue that raytracing is irrelevent on these 1080p cards the performance is less than 40 fps in most games no matter what the card and only in games with "light" raytracing settings can you get ANY value out of the card. I believe people are buying the 3060 because, reflexive move since they already own an older NVidia card and its on firesale for $210, $220.
DLSS pretty much fixes that, it makes the 3060 12GB get 40 FPS at 1% lows in Cyberpunk 2077 with 1080p ultra + ray-tracing psycho while using a 5800X3D... No stuttering, either. Makes the experience have a more console-like framerate than no ray-tracing, but still playable. That's with everything maxed too, more efficient custom settings would get you up to 60 FPS easily.
Hey guys it not as good as cards that are 2 to 3 times the price... That basically all these jtubers shills are ever telling you...

There's really no need to make fluff pieces on your FREE time about nVidia's overpriced low end, they already have a captive audience and billions in buzzwords and stupid catchphrases worth of direct and subversive advertising. I mean, really dude...
The RTX 3060 is probably the one thing in NVIDIA's current lineup that isn't overpriced. This video even actually does a poor job of showcasing its value, there are plenty of better ones. I've ended up going with AMD for the past 10 years, and quick to point out how horrible value NVIDIA generally is after Pascal, but a good value is good value. Diamond in the rough.

How is the experience? Countered anything that didnt run due to driver issues?
