Q: Is this an LHR model?

A: per Best Buy support chat - it is LHR

Q: Will you sell for $250 cause I'm your friend? $250 FINAL OFFER, thx

A: No

Q: How can you possible stand behind a $600+ price on the 3060? It's unethical.

A: Is that somehow supposed to justify lying to consumers about a product’s MSRP of $329? Selling one for almost double doesn’t strike you as false advertising? It has nothing to do with the market or world events.

Q: Did Best Buy figure out how to not sell a card to scalpers and to regular customers?

A: Yes, raising the price 200% LOL

Q: What is the power requirements for this card. Will this run on a system like a Dell Optiplex 9020 Tower? None of the pictures show a 6/8 pin connector.

A: One 8-pin connector. https://www.pny.com/pny-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-xlr8-gaming-revel-epic-x-rgb-sf

Q: this card has lhr?

A: Yes it is lhr but you can use T-Rex Miner and dual mine Raven coin and ethereum

Q: How long is the gpu?

A: Only about 6" or so.

Q: this product is for a tower, not a desktop, correct?

A: It’s for a desktop? A tower and desktop are the same thing.

Works as advertised
Good gaming graphics card. Price is relatively expensive for this model at the time of purchase. Would suggest getting a different model if you are not in a hurry to get a graphics card, nowadays these GPUs are a lot easier to order.

1 Year of owning it
I bought this when it was over priced only because it was the only one available at best buy at that time it was like 679 with tax. All in all its a good buy i’ve been running heavy games i.e GTA and Tomb Raider its very smooth in almost max settings im running 2 screens and 144hz for my main and 75hz for my second screen. So far owning it for almost a year i would say it would be a great product also if you’re thinking about spacing issues in your pc case this could be a good match for that.

I won't be able to buy it if bb priced it lower
it costs much more than msrp, but unfortunately this is the market value. you can spent hours looking for a msrp drop, but that doesn't make sense when the minimum wage is like $15 in the bay area. If you spent more than 20hrs searching for a msrp one, you are actually spending more than just buy this one. If bestbuy gave this a lower price tag, I don't think there will be anything left for a carbon based buyer like me. Very good for my library of games. I played planet zoo all this weekend, the vram usage goes as high as 9.5G, I am glad to have a 12G card for 690 after tax. GTA V and RDR2 run much smoother than my previous RX580. The heat is manageable, fan speed never went over 90%, I play with my headphones on, so noise is not a concern for me. Overall nice little card. 300 more $ and at least one more happy weekend than not having it OR stressful looking for a msrp drop for weeks? I chose the former.
