EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card

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.

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.

Can't believe I still got this on release day. Pure luck but extremely thankful I got it.

Overall this card is alright. If your looking for an upgrade from a 2060 then I would look towards the 3060ti or a 3070. However a lot of people are still running 1060s or 580s. If you still have one of those cards then this is a pretty decent upgrade. Its about 2x the performance of those cards and you get all the Nvidia features such as RTX voice and AI. Overall if you can get this card for msrp and your still running pascal or polaris I would go for it.

Helpful staff, answered all of my questions. The product was very nice to use as I have upgraded from a super old GPU

Great price for a Great card.... especially when all else is unnavailabe. As good as the last gens middle-top tier card, but fraction of a price!

Great card if you are in need of an upgrade though in my atx case it looks super small but hey its worth it if u need an upgrade! For the Price I guess its okay but much better then the scalper prices!
