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.

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.

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.

Expensive? That’s irrelevant. Are 2 door cars more expensive than 4 door cars? Yes it is, but worth it. Competes with all other 3060’s. Thermals are good, very small form makes it ideal and I get ~37mh/s from it.

I am amazed with the quality that this card can put out. It can play anything I throw at it with ease. The only thing I wish was that it was slightly cheaper but I'm not going to knock it for that. It's just the world we live in now. I use an LG 1440 monitor 165hz and play game like Warzone, League, & WoW. It play all of those on the highest settings easily, Warzone is 90-110 fps, League 200-260 fps. The card stays around 65-70c while playing for hours, otherwise it sits at 37c.

This is 2nd PNY XlR8 gpu,my very 1st one was 1660 6gb. I must this one here runs great and not hot at all,I have 8 fans in my case with room for 4 more. I have this one running with R7 3700x OC at 4400mhz along with 32gb @3600mhz. Since no one has mentioned it here yes the RGB can be changed,I found this on my own since there is no info. Just type in VELOCITY X in search bar and you should see the PNY XLR8 page just type VELOCITY X and you will be able to download the small program. You can change the lighting from there and also boost your speed and adjust fan speed. For the current market price it is what it is,it isn't Best Buys price there might be some more higher prices for this one elsewhere.

This card is amazing for it's size and power draw. The card is dual slot, but still manages to be tiny. It does require external power, but the card just sips power. You can easily use a sata adapter to get enough power in an old oem system. I used this card in a tiny MSI build with a 9th gen core i5 and I get over 12,000 in 3DMark Firestrike.

Flawless. So far no complaints actually thinking of getting another for a different build

Good card. I like the small form factor. Runs the desktop in 4k but dont try to game in 4k! Running any game on 4k even the forest, will overheat your card. On 1080 it sits around 80c gaming but at 4k it hits 90c (194 f). At this point is causes alot of problems! Using corsair icue case with 8 total fans.

32-34 MH/s with t-rex. Overpriced... But Okay. Approx the same rate and power consumption as RX 6600 XT. Except 6600 xt is cheaper, but harder to get. Not the best deal, but works for me.

Was worried as I've never used PNY products. A lot of bad reviews back when I purchased, but I took the chance due to market conditions. I was very satisfied. The fan is not noisy as some claim. You will notice the fan kick on from time to time, but will immediately cool down. The thermals are good and the price point is fair due to market conditions.

Great value and price for a 2d gamjng setup. Single fan makes it ideal for smaller pc cases. Upgraded from a 570

It was the best gpu for the price offered. Works great for my scientific computation purposes.

Have not gamed on the GPU. The card's cooler defiantly seems rather cheap and the single fan can get fairly loud. The GPU also does not run very cool compared to cards with more fans. I am able to get 34-35 MH/s with Trex v0.24.2. Price is a bit steep, but in today's market it is nice to have a GPU in stock to buy. Better than paying a scalper probably.

The thing overclocks and mines RVN like a beast! Can also run Half-Life Alyx at max settings in 4k at 72hz with upmost stability. The only disappointment is the shroud for the GPU is made out of plastic. The absolute most powerful thing I could shove in my Ultra Micro build.

This tiny 3060 is a beast! I'm getting 37.5+ m/h at a LHR value of 75 stable! Love how they are available more then others! Yeah they are more, but you can actually buy them without beingone of the first people at a drop time!

The MSI graphics card I was using this time died, so I replaced it with a PNY. So far I've been using it without problems. At first, the lower part was slightly broken during delivery, so Best Buy gave me a small discount. This is the first time I use a PNY product, and I think it is very cost-effective.

This is a great card. I love how small and compact it is: I did decide to take mine back and upgrade to a 3079ti though

Decent for a PNY single fan card overclocking is pretty low

A Huge upgrade from my 1650 Super with more vram and horse power. the card size was perfect for my small cooler master box q300
