    My Journey with RTX 3060

    An outstanding GPU combine with my Linux Distro - Pop OS, it has allowed me to play The Finals at great frames (70-110). And now I am using it for my gaming PC, wiped it and installed an Proxmox server to use it with OpenClaw/clawdbot. Performance is outstanding and handles several local models as well in this new era of local AI. Also the VRAM for this model is perfect, still a beast of an GPU even with all the innovation lately at NVIDIA, definitely would get a second one if I had the hardware to support it.

    Amazing for 1080p gaming

    Got the RTX 3060 for my build and it’s exactly what I needed. At 1080p, everything I play runs smooth on high/ultra settings with no issues except for on marvel rivals because their optimization sucks lol . Games look great, and it stays pretty quiet while running. DLSS is a nice bonus it helps keep frame rates high in the newer titles. Temps stay under control, and setup was simple. For the price, this card is a really solid option if you’re building around 1080p like me.

    Love This Card.

    Love this card. Replaced my GTX 1650 and what a difference!!! Plays every game I have in ultra settings 1080p 60+ fps with no issues. Starfield, Ratchet and Clank and Cyberpunk all have cool ray tracing effects too. Highly recommend. The only critique is rgb can only be changed with Gigabytes utility so syncing it up with the rest of your rig can be tricky to dial in, otherwise perfect.
