    Decent card for the money, if you're able to get one at "retail". EVGA has great build quality across all their cards. One thing that struck me about this card compared to others is just how small it is. After using a lot of higher end cards, it is refreshing how easy this one is to deal with. And they still run reasonably cool without the fans getting too loud. This would be a great GPU for smaller cases.

    This is an amazing graphic's card for its price. It's obviously not a high end graphic card, but honestly I ran most games on 1440p with no fps issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.

    Great Nvidia EVGA video card

    To replace a Gigabyte video card that didn't last past its 3 years warranty period, and I thought it was going to be a good experience. I bought this one because the Nvidia/EVGA reputation is the best in the market, in an age that video cards only show up while riding unicorns. Very happy with the device, attached to a AsRock Velocita and 11th gen i7 with 64GB RAM. It's a short card, runs very smoothly and does not overheat at all like the previous generations. Hopefully, only EVGA from this point forward.

    Purchased this product based on good overall rating and the price which is almost lowest among RTX 3060 products. Performance has been stable and runs 1920*1080 games well. Note that fans do not spin until your GPU hits about 60C and peak temp hasn't exceeded 70C so far. This is my first EVGA product and am pretty satisfied with this product.

    My First GPU

    Where do we start? GPU's are incredibly hard to find at the time of this writing. I just built my first PC back in November of 2020 and decided to wait it out on getting a GPU since they're incredibly expensive compared to the rest of the PC. Big mistake! I originally wanted a RTX 3080, but they are very difficult to find at the moment. So I settled on this little dual fan RTX 3060 XC by EVGA. I got caught up in the GPU hunt with everyone else and figured that since I settled for a 3060 that I would be disappointed. I am definitely not! The step up from integrated graphics in an i7 10700k is astronomical! Has no problems playing 3D graphics from titles created in 2021. Quiet fans. Plus, this is one of the cheaper GPU's to get. High quality and a cheap price - what more could you ask for??? If you are lucky enough to purchase this card, don't forget to visit the EVGA website! In short, the pros: -Quiet fans, low power consumption with great capabilities -Great support from EVGA -Low price! Now, for the cons: -It's 2021 and if you don't RGB - then you're not cool (least that is what it feels like these days). This card has no flashy lights. It's just a plain ol' GPU. Very minor con in my opinion at the end of the day. -No one likes to talk about it, but you can mine for crypto with this card (which I do on occasion when not using this for gaming). All 3060's have a limiter in them that takes about half the MH/s that this card has the potential to do. There's a workaround out there, but I'd advise on individuals to read up on this issue before attempting the workaround. Don't be disappointed if you have to settle for the lowest tier RTX card. This thing packs a mighty punch!

    How to actually get RTX 30 series

    I was able to get this 3060 and you can too. Its a great card and will handle anything you throw at it. First, I downloaded an app on my phone called hotstock, and set the alert to 3060ti fe , even though i didnt want a 3060ti. Its what comes in stock most often. Then, i put all my payment info into the best buy mobile app, and then on drop day I got the notification, went to best buy, and added it to cart. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART ONCE YOU GET ADD TO CART, AND THE BUTTON TURNS GREY WHEN YOU CLICK, **DO NOT REFRESH THE PAGE**. THE BUTTON WILL SAY ADD TO CART AGAIN SOON. Once it says add to cart again, go through checkout as fast as possible, dont even look at shipping, if you have to drive 10 miles do it. Once you are at payment, you are safe, you did it. Congrats, have fun with the card.

    Nice upgrade from an aging card.

    I upgraded from an RX570 4GB to this RTX 3060 and am completely satisfied. I was a bit worried when receiving the package because I heard a rattling noise. Turns out it was just the documentation making the noise. The graphics card came very well protected. I don't plan to run anything above 1080 or 1440 so this card suffices for that. If you need higher resolutions then I suggest you get a 3060Ti or higher. 3 year warranty is nice though I could have sworn Best Buy listed a 5 year warranty when looking through the product page. One of the reasons why I went for this card in particular. My only nitpick is that Best Buy is not selling the card at MSRP (paid about $100 more). I know the market is crazy right now and I'm lucky to have snatched one up in the first place, but I'm buying from Best Buy!! Not some random person or shady online store. Best Buy should sell at MSRP. Overall, it's a nice entry level RTX card. It runs cool, doesn't make a lot of noise, no RGB, 2 fan card with a metal backplate.

    I’ve been buying EVGA graphics cards for over a decade and I have never had a problem. They also have the best customer service in the business and it was really happy to find a card MSRP. I’ve been waiting for an upgrade for over two years and I’m really happy to be part of the ray tracing club. This card is a really good value for the price. I am especially happy with the 12 GB of DDR6 VRAM. That adds a lot of value to this card as it is admitdily not as powerful as the 3070 or 3080, but it has more VRAM than most the higher end models. Which will help it stay in the game longer. At price point under than $400 This card will last you many years of quality gaming at 2k resolution or below. And if you find yourself craving more power, well it won’t sting as badly when you go for the upgrade. I think I will be happy with this card long after that chip shortage is over and the market is sorted out a little bit.

    The graphics card is really good, with the right performance settings you can run Cyberpunk at 1080p 60-70fps ultra settings with rtx on, if you don’t want to spend too much and you want a card that runs quite a bit better than a regular 3060, get this card. Overclocking on this card is also quite good. But if you can’t get this one, just go get a 3060ti or a 3070 they have better performance and only for about 100 dollars more. Don’t get this card if you want to do 4K resolutions, this thing is a 1080p machine. It can run any game max settings at 1080p with 100+ FPS.
