Upgraded from a 2060 KO Ultra- which is of course not necessary but I was able to pass it down to a friend. I got the 1357, not 1355 (metal backplate, not black version) - it’s a great card. It’s nothing insane but for 1440p this is absolutely all you need. I am able to get 200fps on all ultra settings in Cold War without ray tracing, and about 110 with all ray tracing on ultra. I was pretty surprised. I have it overclocked and stable on afterburner with +190 memory and +100 clock, and I’ve never seen it go over 69c in benchmarks. In game it never goes over 59- it’s extremely cool. The 2060 KO could accomplish maybe 80% of these speeds, but it would often climb to 85c in game. The 3060 xc is a great little card if you can’t procure a 3060ti or 3070. It uses very little power and has more than enough oomf. When overclocked, it is right in the realm of a 3060ti. Stable, cool, graphics looks fantastic. I read about comparisons with the 2060 KO - and it seemed pretty similar but I have to say I am very pleased to get rid of that hot potato and play beyond what my monitor is capable of I7 9700k (3.65volts for 4.9ghz OC) 3060 XC (100 and 190 OC) Auros pro z390 32g vengeance ram My system no longer reads any temps on any hardware higher than 65c.

Love this card for its great value! It is the cheapest RTX 3060 gpu, but does not have RGB. EVGA has great warranty and nice designs so this is stil la great card. Best of all ,these were availabel to order in store without needing to wait in line or beat bots online.

Honestly, its a good upgrade. It performs fast as 2080ti in blender, and 12GB vram is lovely also for video editing. I was luckily able to snatch total of 3 cards(2c in pic). Also, there is a bypass for the mining limit(u knw where to look for this....)

Good for mining, easy to bypass the anti-mining software. cheap and makes me a lot of money, bought about 6 with my bot.

Best value for your buck RTX 3060. It is a small card, 2 fan that will fit into most SFF builds. Unfortunately it is very bare bone with no RGB. At least this card was very easy to obtain. Was able to order it inside a store walking up to the register.
