Users appreciate its reasonable price point and ample VRAM, making it a worthwhile investment.

Upgrading from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8GB to the RTX 3060 12GB has been a game-changer for my setup, both in terms of performance and visual quality. Performance: The RTX 3060 delivers a substantial performance boost. My FPS has jumped from 60 to nearly 100 in many games, which has made a noticeable difference in gameplay smoothness and responsiveness. For instance, in Callisto Protocol, my frame rates have increased from around 50 to 90, providing a much smoother and more enjoyable experience. Visual Quality: The visual improvements are striking. Games look significantly crisper and more detailed with the RTX 3060 compared to the RTX 3050. The enhanced graphics quality is particularly noticeable in demanding titles, adding to the overall immersion and enjoyment. Memory: The increase from 8GB to 12GB of VRAM has been beneficial for handling high-resolution textures and future-proofing my system. This additional memory supports better performance in modern games and multitasking. Temperature: The RTX 3060 runs at a constant 71 degrees Celsius, which is slightly higher than the 65 degrees I experienced with the RTX 3050. Although this is a bit warmer, it has not affected the system’s performance or stability. Overall: The RTX 3060 12GB is a significant upgrade from the RTX 3050 8GB. The improved FPS, better visual quality, and additional VRAM make it an excellent choice for gamers seeking enhanced performance and graphical fidelity.

The ASUS RTX 3060 Dual OC is a fantastic mid-range GPU. It runs modern games smoothly at 1080p and 1440p, and the 12GB of VRAM is great for multitasking and content creation. The cooling is efficient and quiet, and the sleek black design fits well in most builds. Great value for the performance—highly recommended for gamers and creators alike!

I know this card gets a lot of hate but to be honest with you that 12 GB of vram makes up for it. Especially coming from a 2gig Asus card from 2016. He plays warzone amazing in 1440. I get past my 160 frames that my monitor can handle rarely gets over 70°. I say it's a good budget card for sure
