Graphics cards are getting more powerful but some only by a small margin. So will the RTX 3060 be enough GPU for you. The RTX 3060 is an entry level card but with the ray tracing abilities and DLSS is it something would consider upgrading to? In this video I am going pit the RTX 3060 against my average gamers test bench in a variety of games. So we are going to find out.
TEST BENCH:
Ryzen 5 5600g
Asrock X570 Pro4 motherboard
16GB 3200MHz G skill Ripjaws
240GB SSD Boot drive
3TB HDD
850w 80+ Gold rated power supply

Upgraded from a GTX 860 to an RTX 3060, incredibly happy, obviously an insane difference. The performance cost of ray tracing is a shame, something about it makes my eyes happy. But the ability to play a modern game at otherwise max settings and still clocking 60fps+ is insane to me.
Yep, I looked at UserBenchmark and the 2070 and 3060 are only... cough... 25% faster than a 1070. That ain't... much...
@@choppergirlRtx 3060 12GB performs roughly the same as GTX 1080Ti
@@X.Y.Z.07 Yeah, I was going to get an EVGA 3080 FTW3, it seems to be the sweet spot, but I opted for a 3070 FTW3 because my little games don't even use a 1070 to the fullest. I put it in just so as not to feel inadequate lol. Seemed criminal not to put a pcie 4.0 card in a Ryzen 7950x even though I will never ever use it's full power. Though I do use it's NVENC encodre all the time, so, there's that. I could of went with a sh1tty 4000 card for that I suppose.

i managed to get a 3080 for 320 off ebay honeslty is the sweet spot for 1440p ultra@@choppergirl
i upgraded from a gtx 1060 6gb to the rtx 3060 and it was the best decision ever especially for 1080p gaming
Guys where 10 months further if you are looking for a gpu upgarde still in the current market i would suggets the RTX 3060TI over the rtx3060 the price difference isnt that major and the performans gain in 1080p if pretty significant
(Sorry for bad english)
Im literally right on the trigger about doing the same thing, im on a 1060 6gb gtx and deciding what to upgrade to and think this is the move
I did the exact same thing, went from my 1060 6gb to the 3060 and I’m loving it
@@flu_ent2090 i got some extra money last minute so update. I ended up building:
4070ti
i5 13400f
2TB 990 pro
32gb ram
corsair 4000D max airflow. My world has been shattered lately xD
yup, i'm going from a gtx 1060 3 GB (!!) to the rtx 3060. Since I still have 2 1080p monitors that I really have no reason to replace yet, this is the best bang for my buck for a few more years, or until I decide to upgrade to 1440p monitors.
@@WillRinehart Same here, Getting the RTX 3060 shortly
I upgraded to this from a GTX 1660 super and don’t regret it. It runs considerably better in many games at max settings
thank you, needed this
@@lewigaow upgrade
I just did the same, will see how it performs with Ryzen 7800 X3D.
I bought my first prebuilt last year and for some reason was under the assumption that I had a 3070 up until yesterday. 3060 had me fooled for a whole year. Been playing VR games on it, big open world games like RDR2 run fine as long as you have the storage. And every game I''ve played so far, which have been some AAA titles as well as just some modded games, and EA sports titles all run perfect at ultra settings. It's a really good card.
Thats a kinda good thing, you have been content with a 3060 so any upgrade from there will feel even better!
@@BlueprintPC tbh untill you need to drop to medium graphics to get 60+ is when you need to upgrade. i have a 3060 and it gets 240 in esports titles at 4k and open world games like rdr2 it still gets 60+ 1080p ultra and some on high
You never checked gpuz or task manager? Wtf
@@i3l4ckskillzz79 Lol, when I was buying my computer it was between a model with a 3070 and 3060. I bought the one with the 3060 cuz of the price but I guess subconsciously I had convinced myself I had bought the 3070 model. I t wasn't until I was updating my drivers that I had fully taken notice and "reminded" myself that I had a 3060 the entire time.
Have my 3060 been 6 months, no problems on both 1080p and 1440p (for single player games), pair well with 5600 and 32gb, dont even plan to replace for a longe time
thats my exact set up lmao, got it last summer and love it
@@Jordanbiggs1473 2024 and beyond, still rock solid mate
Ran 3060 fine even at VR resolutions ... cranking up settings to Ultra makes for easy to compare benchmarks, but yields mostly diminishing returns in real life. Great card.
It shines better with a nice CPU like a 12400k
Wife just got me a 3060 for my bday a slight upgrade from my 1660 super should come today I can’t wait 😎🤙🏾
I have a GTX 1060......I just ordered the GTX 3060 for $250.00.. I am happy with my choice.
Congrats!
I was lucky to pick up a RTX 3060 12GB for $270 usd equivalent in Canada a month ago. I've had only AMD iGPU's since 2010. I bought an NV just to run AI locally and creative apps, which it does very well. It also runs my flight sims (DCS and X-plane) at 100 fps @1440p.
Its a good card for vram at 1080p and is nearly as fast as a 2070 super / 2080...
It should still be fine for 1440p in most titles but for longevity its really a 1080p card
got one of these last week. ive never even had a decent graphics card before and its kicking the shit out of modern AAA games. the only reason i could see wanting something more powerful is for high end VR, and that is going into the realm of crazy cash atm so bollocks to that it can wait until more cool games come out.
Still running fine and very happy with it.
If I can’t run some games with stable frames it’s most of the time just due to bad optimisation of the games itself and not due to the GPU not being powerful enough
Been using for 1440p and always "high" present as default for gaming and its holds on very well. However i've a nice CPU to pair with and i'm not adept of "ultra/extreme" settings for eye cady visuals but with horrific framerate in return.
What cpu do you use?
@@BlueprintPCintel12700k
3060 and 3060ti are amazing cards but should only be geared towards 1080p. if your playing something like csgo or valorant than 1440p is ok
evem on games like cyberpunk you can play at 1440p, obviously with lower fps but still. This gpu is really good
i agree@@King_ShadowX_X
I play War Thunder and Enlisted at 1440p, mix of high and medium settings, always between 140 and 165 fps.
It really matters what kind of game you play.
My brother plays CS2, also 1440p with 3060 and get more frames than his monitor can handle.
People really tend to forget that its all about the games being played.
I just bought one for 190 used and I'm happy with it.but for newer games it's definitely barely holding on to get 60fps. The 3070 is where I would go personally it gets you 60fps in almost everything.
Bro I have a 13th gen i5 13600kf with pny etc 3060 32 gb ram and cruicial p5 and I get 150 fps on warzone on high settings
@Btgamimg I'm talking about more demanding games and at 1440p and 4k I forgot to mention that.
@anthonyreynoza8535 on ultra harry potter I get about 40 50 fps and that's cause my gpu put performs my cpu in so many ways 😂 and 200plis on wow
Been burning up my 3060 since launch. I love it, and was really thinking about upgrading to 4070ti, but I think my money would be better spent on a nice 1440P monitor. I do notice a bit of texture limits on expansive games like Warzone 2, could use a little more VRAM. But over all I’m so happy with the 3060 for my first GPU.
Its good enough to play any game, you could run any game optimize or not
do not expect to run future games at 1440p on a 3060, the card is way too old and slow for that.
@@thegreatgazoo7579I hate the pc space, (the card is way too old for that) a card that came out in 2021 is old? Guys stop being scammed by these incremental improvements and just game. The 3060 is an extremely powerful card.

@@IsaiahPaysonright 😂it’s one of the best cards on the market
Great video, very good alternative to the other, mostly generic ones. I have a 1660ti, and I'm honestly thinking of upgrading to 3060 12gb version. I know 3070ti is a killer, but where I'm at, it costs little under 1000euros.
Thank you!
Or buy the rx 6800 that is the same if not better in non ray tracing scenario and ofc a lot cheaper i got it for 390 euros
Good video to help make a decision. Im on a 1060 and searched for many videos but this was the best. Thanks man
Thank you! Glad to help!
I currently have this and never run into issues, best 1080p to 1440p card for me💯
Thanks man and it’s cheaper to I’m looking to buy a pc soom
I have the TUF RTX 3060 12GB OC V2 and it's a really nice GPU ! And I must have been lucky, cause I can OC it to 2 077 MHz even in the most demanding apps/games without any trouble ! It's basically like if I had a 3060 Ti or 3070, but with 12 gigs of VRAM. I'm not planning to change for a while 🙂 (And I hate 4K btw, so 1080p and good fps are the perfect combo for me).
I just bought one from a guy today .
He had bought it during the shortage and then won a new egg lottery and got a 3090 so he sold this to me for $225.
Had a 6gb 1060… just bought one for 240$. Can’t wait for it to ship
got a 3060 for 275 new off amazon a couple weeks ago. Was running a 970 before. It's been a nice upgrade, but now my 4790k is starting to show me its age even with its good OC haha.
Did you upgrade your Mobo??
Try to score an AM4 board with a 5600 cpu, should be a major MAJOR cpu boost for only about 200 bucks
a 3060 just to play at 1080p , ooff .. i bought a 2070super before all the crazy prices and can run most games at 1440p with almost all settings turned up apart from maybe one or two for some games that are demanding .. but boy, games look tasty at 1440p ultra
I have a RTX 3060 Acer Nitro laptop and its still going strong. Other than Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing, I am able to play any game thrown at me! Its almost Dec 2023. Hope it lasts another year!
bought gtx 1080 few years ago for $500, which was a huge upgrade from rx 480, and now i'm learning that modern performance equal is only $150 cheaper than that, and anything that could be considered a worthy upgrade is far more expensive
well, that would be it for this generation for me, will see what nvidia 5000 and amd 8000 brings to the table (hopefully availability and reasonable pricing, just for a little diversity)
god, i thought i would never say that, but gpu manufacturers are basically pushing me towards consoles...
Hopefully prices will come down at some point. Who knows maybe the mid range gpus might surprise us.
Grab second hand rtx 3070. Great card. But even to this day a Gtx 1080 with a powerfull psu and a good rig is still amazing.
@@dieaking6475 nah, not playing as many AAAs these days, the most demanding thing i play lately is sonic frontiers, and 1080 is plenty to satisfy this sweet 60fps lock in 1440p
right now my plan is to wait for and get ps5 pro on launch to catch up to both ps4 and ps5 libraries (or at least the interesting parts), and wait with gpu upgrade for next gen, worst case scenario i get used 4070ti and call it a day, best case scenario i get 5080 or something (or i may never upgrade my pc again and keep the current one just to access the games i already have on steam and emulators, time will tell)
i've had a gtx 1060 6gb for 6 years now, it can run Baldur's Gate 3, but it's almost at 80% usage. i've been meaning to completely upgrade my pc now, and this video and all these comments are really affirming my wanting to get a 3060
It should be at 100% usage, there's a good possibility your cpu is holding it back.
I have bridged 1030s and I think I'm going to upgrade to this card. Budget friendly and exponentially better performance for me.
I'm looking to upgrade from a 1660, and my options for a moderate budget are relatively limited. I was told to go with this card, but honestly now I'm not sure if I should -- or if I should just wait another month or two and buy something beefier. Opinion?
I would go with beefy, that way it will be longer before next upgrade. Also check out my vid on the 6700xt similiar on price a decent bit more performance
@@BlueprintPC Alright, thanks! It's amazing how well built the 1660 was, all things considered. I'm very surprised it's still as capable as it is. Paired with my 5600x, I haven't really run into a game that is unplayable.
i was an rx 560 user lol. I got a 3060 and im planning to install it next week
i bought upgrades for my other parts as well dont worry
Congrats on the upgrades! What processor are you going to use?
@@BlueprintPC ryzen 7 5700x
Good choice, prolly the best bang for the buck right now
Hi is 3060 with 10400f good for video editing?
Absolutely
I just bought this assembly: 3060 12gb oc, 32gb ram 3200mhz, gigabyte Aorus b550 elite, and Ryzen 5 5600x, how do you think it is? Will it help me to render, animation, 3d modeling? it's my first pc.
Its a great place to start for sure! May need more cpu horsepower depending on the software your running but again hood place to start
My man I play in a laptop with a GTX960m if God allows me I'm building a pc gaming with the 12GB version of the RTX3060 I know the difference will be huge
Just bought a Zotac RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12gb, and upgrading from my 1070 FTW finally.. hope I made the right choice.
Hey there, so its definitely an upgrade so I wouldn't stress. If you're happy with the performance thats what matters. You'll always find someone who will tell it's wrong for one reason or another. If that was the best in your budget then enjoy!!!
So question. I have an i7-11700k and a 2060. Do you recommend upgrading?
Hey there, so if you are happy with the performance don't bother. However if you aren't happy I would only upgrade the gpu as that is likely whats holding you back. The 11700k is still a good performer
Question - in your opinion what is a good upgrade from this cpu?
Which cpu? Or did you mean gpu?
@@BlueprintPC Sorry my bad, I have a 3060 and am thinking off upgrading, what would be a good upgrade? I dont play 4k
, whats the use of reviewing a card without showcasing the technology, i would like to know how much i stand to gain with dlss, and ray tracing.
i do like your video, honest and insightful. I bought a RTX 3060 Vision OC, and its been doing just great for me, Forza Horizon 5, Cyberpunk 2077, Stray, all look really good, it is a great Card you can max everything out at 1080, medium for 1440p or some ultra/high mix, you'd be surprised what the 3060 can do!
I like the look of the vision models, very clean
@@BlueprintPC pair them with a intel vision or amd vision motherboard and its lethal. 🤩
@@ivisraudales805 that sounds sic! I will likely do a video of the 3060 at 1440p just not sure when. Trying to determine what to do next. I need to update my test bench so that may be soon

I love the 3060 amd ryzen 5 5600h 32 ram Acer nitro 5 my first ever gaming PC been console payer all my life I'm on my 3060 way more then my series x and ps5
I just got the most beautiful dual fan white tiger edition, and it literally looks so amazing, and works great too. I love it!
It was a good card, but since alan wake 2 and starfield came out it can't hit 60 fps at 1080p and that looks like it's the norm now. I wouldn't expect graphics cards to last as long as they used to.
My pc currently has a 730 but in a few weeks from now I will have a 3060 after ordering it and I’m super excited!
Very nice!!! Gonna be huge! Boost!
Yes!
Just picked up a pre-built with this card for 799. Paired with the I-5 13400 f the card and the processor basically paid for the machine. Granted I'm going to upgrade the RAM and throw in an SSD so you can add $200 to that but I still think it's worth it
Man it’s a great card I have 13th gen i5 13600f and pny rtx 3060 I get 150+fps in warzone
@@BtbreezyI have the same setup gpu and cpu wise
I'm about to put one in an thunderbolt 3 eGPU chassis for a laptop, it has a dGPU that has been struggling with some of the tasks I do and the 12GB 3060 seems to be well suited as an eGPU, no point throwing much more power at it given the limitations of TB3.
I'll report back if I remember :)
Came from a 1050ti, so there was definitely no regrets there. Games made after 2014 needed to be played on lowest settings, and even then I barely managed to get 60 fps. The 3060 is a beast. Every game is played on ultra. No RT tho.
Solid move! Congrats
How does it preform with minecraft shaders?
Glad I watched this, super on the fence now. I have a 1080 I got in a prebuilt like 7 years ago, and to hear it wouldn’t be a huge step up is telling. It’s hard though because the 40 series are so much more
Yeah 1080 is not going to be life changing. You would have to aim for the 3070,6700xt or higher imo
I have a 1070 and waiting to get the 3060 12gb today. Remind me to let u know how it is. I already know it's gonna make a night and day difference.
@@user-bq4xc2yy3m Are you able to use your same mobo?
@fungobabydes7154 I actually changed my mobo cus it broke. It should work. If ur not sure, use the compatibility online checker
So I got the 3060 12gb and had a 1070 previously. My 1070 would have to run medium - high graphics to stay at 50 fps on high demanding games. The 3060 is able to run everything on ultra on 1080p at 60 fps on demanding games. Imo, it's not a HUGE jump. Certainly gonna have to switch settings around if u wanna play 2k resolution. Still a super great upgrade. The dlss the card some with is pretty awesome. If you ever go under 60 fps on a title, just turn that bad boy on and you get an extra 10 fps at a barely noticeable cost to the graphics
just bought mine last week
upgradet from 1060, really happy with the 3060
Thats awesome, congrats
Look, here's my opinion. The 3060 is a great place to put yourself if you want to go nvidia. It doesn't really need an upgrade unless you desire 4k gaming. However, I run it at 1440p at 144hz steady without issues on sooo many games. Even Doom Eternal, with ray Tracing on! Sooooo it's a badass mid range card for sure. Oh, and I do ultrawide so it's 3440x1440.
On big cinematic games, it easily does 1440p around 60+ fps.
That 12gb vram is gonna do you well as time passes too
so , basically i have the EVGA 1080 TI FTW BLACK, so dont upgrade?
I'm not sure that a GTX 1080 could hang with a 3060. IIRC the 1080 was about on par with a 2070? The 3060 should rake the 1080 over the coals.
When I got my new PC in 2021 I choosed this card and even today it goes strong in my opinion. My PC has an Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and that is also today totally enough for me and goes also strong in my opinion.
5600x cpu will be a noticeable upgrade though, i went 3600>5700X myself and the difference is 30 to 40%, depending on your budget id say it is totally worth it.
(Got the 5700X for 169euro)
I had a 1060 3gb! An upgradw to a 3060 12gb turned out to be a great decision for me!
i have this exact card and to honest i whish i saved for a 3070 instead
Yeah lateral upgrades suck. I try to avoid those at all costs. Going from a 1070 FE to RTX 3060 so I think this will be a good upgrade. Cyberpunk looks better on it than on PS5 from what I am seeing here. So my new tower will actually outshine my PS5 by quite a bit. Very exciting time to be alive. Cool video. Keep these coming.
Thank you, just a heads-up. The 3060 is competitive with the 1080 so it will be an upgrade just not huge with fps. However DLSS, rebar and RT will make a good performance jump
@@BlueprintPC Well not just that but the whole PC. Processor, Ram, Mobo, everything. So I do believe I will get quite a few more frames.
Oh yeah!, all that should help for sure!
last year i upgrade from 960 to this exact card..... IMAGINE the diferrent...
It's a whole new world!
Alot of reviews need updating now that supply has met demand and prices arent stupid. if your coming from a 10 series card and game in 1080p the 3060 12gb is best bang for buck if you dont want to go to amd
I think I'll just buy another 1070 for my 7950x, because the 1070 in my FX-8350 plays all the games I play on high settings flawlessly. A 1070 is over kill for me. Better to sink it into the CPU for video rendering was my thought.
The 1070 honestly isn't bad for 1080p, still holding up pretty well
I'm currently running a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC Windforce 2x which honestly performs just like any other GTX 1050 Ti out there, on a dual E5620 Xeon based HP Z600 Workstation with 48gb RAM and 13Tb storage, (I have another one with 32 tB storage but I use it as a server) and I've been dying for ages for the GTX 1080, which seems to be the best GPU for my workstation (the power draw from the PCI cable is also limited, that's why I don't go for a 1080Ti). I'm upgrading to dual X5675 xeons and I Wonder If the RTX 3060 will be a better buy. Problem is, the PCI express bus on the motherboard is a 2.0, not a 3.0, so I don't know if it will work well or I better go for a plain GTX 1080 and stop worrying. BTW, great video! You got a new subscriber here!
Hello there, So you bring an interesting problem. So I was originally going to say the 3060 would be a great sub for the 1080. Then you mentioned PCIE 2.0 and I completely forgot about that with your gen system. So to be honest it's a hard call. The 3060 and 1080 are similar in performance so I don't think they would completely flood the lanes but to be honest I dont know. I'm going to cautiously lean toward the 3060 as it will bring many out features with it over the 1080 and may benefit you in the long run especially whenever you decide to upgrade. The 3060 has a better encoder and multiple other tricks up it's sleeve to help with a variety of workloads. and Thank you!
@@BlueprintPC thank you! I’ll get the 3060 then!
Hey do you think for 1080p 60 fps ultra settings I should get a 3060 12 GB ( more vram) or a 6600xt (8gb) less vram? Trying to future proof for maybe 4 years. Cheers.
My recommendation if you have the money to spare and wish to future proof your pc for the next several years playing new releases at max settings go for a 4070 it is over priced but will definitely cover your needs for the next four years with new releases. 3060 is the choice I’d go for out of the two you presented mainly because more and more new releases are starting to require more than just 8GB vram but if you could fit it into your budget for the longer run I think it’d be better to go for a 4070 12gb vram card instead

Hey there, pretty solid build imo. There are two things I would consider making changes to. First I would look for a case with better air flow, like the Focus G 2. I would also look at a better CPU cooler like an EVO 212 especially if you plan on keep this PC case. Even without those changes it should work just fine but those changes would help maintain better temps and keep noise down as well.
here its 380euro, for 50eu more u can get 6700 xt, but for people that already have it, i think it will be still fine for 1080p in 2023, indie game even for 1440p
This is true here as well. The 6700xt is better and cheaper

in average its 500euro+ but in shop or two its 430 for like 2 weeks now

I bought a Prebuilt about 4 years ago with an RTX 3080. Recently my 3080 went out..... sad sad day... after clear troubleshoot the GPU was clearly done. I'm clearly on a budget now... I found MSI had a deal on a Based 3060 at $289 + tax. I saw this deal and took it.... I'm running a Duel Monitor system 1 one which i game at 2k (1440) and the 2nd monitor at 1080p.
Although it was a downgrade..at its price point. will I see a significant difference?

Which one is better for me?
I use 3Ds Max, SketchUp, Lumion and half of the use 1080p 144hz Gaming😅. Planning for 1440p in future.
Spec.
450W PSU
R5 3600
16GB 3000mhz
Gigabyte B450 Gaming x
Hopefully.
So 3060 is going to be better for those applications but the 6700 would better at gaming
Looking at one in a few weeks.
How about an upgrade from RX 580 to an RTX 3060, opinions?
Solid upgrade!
im stuck between a 3060 12gb and a 2060 6gb to upgrade frm my 1060 3gb with an i7 4770k. the prices in europe are insane. 415€ for the 3060 and 265€ for the 2060. the vram is stopping me from insta buying the 2060 because of the future proofing i learned the hard way with my 3gb card (which was much cheaper here than the full 6gb version back then) . any other notable difference between the 2060 and 3060 12gb?
What about RTX 2080 SUPER? Can be had in your price range.
@@roythunderplump the cheapest i can source locally is 500€ (edit: for 2060 super) and 525€ for 2080 super so not that useful unfortunately.
@@q1337Okay, terrible pricing in your region. Hope it improves soon. With more RTX 3000 promotions and discounts.
@@roythunderplump haha agreed. thanks for the suggestion though :)
So either way it's a higher price than we would like to pay. If you dont plan on upgrading for a while I would aim for the 3060 as it will get you by for longer so the extra cash would make sense in the long run. However if you plan to upgrade in a year or two just get the 2060 for now
Upgraded the pc entirely, goodbye GT 630, hello rtx 3060.
oh Wow, Huge upgrade!!! congrats
what do you think upgrading from a 1660 ti, worth it or not?
Hey there, I would say should be decent, not insane, but a decent upgrade.
@@BlueprintPC thank you, i have another question i you can bear it with me here,
my processor is an i7-9700f will my processor bottleneck the 3060? thank you in advance
Maybe in CSGO lol, but for the most part, it would be minimal.
I have a 400w hp oem power supply which is why I had to go for the 3060 instead of 3060ti.
It's been pretty good. Not a whole lot different from my 1660 super though. But I like the features.
What processor? It should be a fair bit better than a 1660super. It could possibly be power limit a little bit as well.
maybe it's been limited by the psu mate or by the gpu. anyway for 1080p gaming there isn't a really big difference.
I have a ryzen 7, 2060, 16gb of ram should i upgrade to a 3060?
Hey there, I would try to aim a little higher if possible as it is not a huge upgrade. Also I would wait till after the 4060 launches because prices on other options should drop
The 3060 is a perfect card for any competitive game.
6650xt or 6750xt for the money.
For the same money? 6750xt.
from a 1070 to 3060....i'm not happy...i expected more from the 3060
bc u should have went with 3060 Ti, i bought one used for 200 euros
Wonder if the 3060 Ti is a good buy.
Hey there, it's a decent GPU roughly 2080 Super territory. All depends on the price, they have still been marked up a bit
@@BlueprintPC that's true. But it has come down in pricing in my country. Although probably between this an Arc. But I'm not in a rush so probably by the time getting some parts, Arc 2 will arrive and I'll check that GPU. If it's good enough for the money, I'll probably get that.
So Arc has just come down a little bit. I want one but honestly have not jumped on it yet. I may get one for testing but they are still a bit buggy atm
I also bought an evga Rtx 3060 in nov.2022 (which is almost 2023) and i definitely dont Ruin it because it was a very big Upgrade from my GTX 1050 ti. I got a new one for 300€ from a seller who won this card and I managed to Sold my 3 month used GTX 1050 Ti for 90€ which I bought used for 50€.
But now there is a Deal in my country (Germany) where you can get a new RX 6650xt for 250€ because of cashback so did i Made a mistake buying a Rtx 3060? because the RX 6650 xt is much faster and I dont use raytracing and dlss , or should i Just be Happy with my purchase?
Hey there, so I wouldn't switch to the 6650xt. It's only a little faster for the price. If your gonna trade up I would at least aim for 6700xt/3070 or higher imo. I don't think you did bad, it's hard to predict when deals will come up.
Would this be a good upgrade from a GTX1660 Super?
Yeah, should be a decent boost!
I need help
Should I get a PC with
I3 13100f and an rtx 3060 12gb
Or a one with i5 10400f with the same GPU?
hey there, so the 13100 should perform on par or slightly better than that 10400f. On top of that you would already have a newer mobo in which you could upgrade to a better cpu later as well.
It's a great card, I have the 12GB version but for 1080p gaming maybe the 2060 it's almost good enough.
Hi, im currently looking to get a new pc and im stuck between this and the 6700xt. i definitely will be doing some gaming and video editing (maybe on davinci) and im on the fence because 6700xt is good for gaming but the 3060 is nvdia which i heard is better for content creation
You are correct! I do have videos of both these cards and I mentioned exactly that. I would see recent patches for Davinci and see what people say about AMD gpus. I went Nvidia bc I need that support for content creation
Running most games on ultra at1440p the only ones i don't are the really poorly optimised ones then I run on high
Hey, super useful information and it's helping me a lot. I could use an opinion though, maybe you can help? Right now I'm looking to upgrade from a laptop setup to a desktop setup. Currently running a 2020 Zephyrus G14 which has an RTX 2060 and an AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS. I was hoping you could give an opinion on this prebuilt that I found? It's the 2023 ASUS ROG G16CH. Model Number is G16CH-I73060VR. It has the 3060 12GB paired with an Intel i7-13700F. The reviews are fantastic on it and I'm tempted to pick it up. I'm not in a position financially to buy or put together something in the $2000+ range, but if the ASUS prebuilt can hold me over for a few years running games at a solid 60fps at 1440p with high to ultra graphics, I'm sold.
Hey sorry for the delay, it's a good build pending the price of course. It should hold you over for a while, even then you could slap in a higher tier gpu no prob!
@@BlueprintPC Thank you for the reply! I actually bought it and set it up today and loving it! Only thing I'm having trouble with is figuring out how to get inside the case so I can upgrade the RAM lol. Do you know what GPU I could upgrade to down the line? I'm assuming anything in the 30 series would work?
Do recommend buying trx rtx 3060 12gb for 305 euros with 3 fans from msi? Im building my first pc
Hey there, thats a fair price. See how much an rx 6700xt is. That may be better value
@@BlueprintPC The rx 6700 xt is at 360 euros, Do you think I can use AMD gpu for productivity?
Hey there, so for productivity you need to research if the software you intend to use works well with AMD as it can be hit or miss for sure.
Still expensive for 400$ . The RX 5700 performs almost just as well and costs half..
Another solid option!
I just picked up an 0C version for $200 on Amazon.
LOL. I'm about to upgrade my PC and I guess my 1080ti is moving into its third PC.
No lie, still not a bad option. I've been debating about picking one up for testing against the current gen gpus
I had 1660 super and got the 3060 with 3 fan. Was that a mistake?
Not at all, that's a good upgrade
@@BlueprintPC cool thanks!
My 1050 to died and my 3060 is enroute. I'm excited.
Nice! Congrats on the upgrade!!!
@@BlueprintPC Thank you.
The rtx 3060 specially mobile aka laptop is the most underrated card it is the only one that is up to par with the rtx 3060 desktop i have the alienware m17 r4 and i was testing it between the laptop and the r15 alienware desktop it literally was neck and neck rtx 3060 is the only one i tried the 3070-3090 and desktop was better for sure byt 3060 is very amazing a win for laptops.
Recently, I upgraded from my 1660 super to 3060 only for the purpose of the availability of dlss.
I'm on an 1660ti and currently considering getting 3060 ti with 12gb vram. How much of an upgrade is it?
@@waveplay3978 I changed my mind and upgraded to 3060 ti (8gb). I am happy with this upgrade so far. Most of the PS5 games for PC can be played at 1440p (60fps).
@@waveplay397812gb don't exist
@@elPatoChannel right, I was thinking of the regular 3060. I've since bought the 3060 12gb and it's a significant upgrade for sure. Quite happy with my purchase
What about a GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3060 ELITE 12G for $290.00! for 1080P running on a 5600x?
Hey there, thats a hell of a good price and great combo!
Debating on upgrading to a 4080 founders edition because of my case size some games are starting to drop under 100fps like the older games are fine judt if I want any of the new ones should I consider buying the 4080
Hey there, what do you have now? I personal typically suggest either 4070ti or 4090. Simply because the 4080 value is a little rough. Good performer but bang for the buck could be better
@@BlueprintPC 3060 ti
@@bigtimebucksfan_6887 Any of the mentioned options would be a decent step up in performance. A 4080 on sale could be decent, just for a bit more a 4090 becomes reality.
I'm running a Asus 3060 12gb ko I want to get a rx 6700xt but wondering if it is worth getting or just keeping my 3060
Hey there, so it depends. Yes it will be a good boost in performance! RT will be about the same but overall gaming will be improved. Check out my 6700xt videos, those may help. Also if you sell your 3060 you would get a decent bit back for the cost of the 6700xt
I sold my 2060 to save up for my 3060 I did pay a lot for my 3060 almost $500 when crypto was dieing out but I do want another card so that I can use the 6700xt as my main card and keep my 3060 as a back up
Thank you so much bp keep up the great work on your channel
Except rt. Raw performance of rx-6700xt is equivalent to rtx-3070 or better. So yeah definitely worth it
I'd hold off on that if you're not paying around $50 for the switch when selling your 3060 kind of like Bluepint said. But in all honesty, if you have to spend $100 or so for a switch to the 6700XT then I'd probably say no.
Perhaps wait for summer '23 and try to sell and switch to whatever is around the $300-450 mark if you're thinking of running higher resolutions?
But remeber that your hardware is in no way obsolete because of new hardware, only by the fact that it dosen't do what you need it to do anymore.
Get 6800xt/6900xt/3080 otherwise the difference is so small
Currently upgrading my wife’s PC from a 1060 6GB to a 3060 12GB bc Hogwarts legacy has been killing her 1060, I’m sure she’ll love it.
yeah should deff be a step up!
Will a 3060 work in a LGA1151 v1 motherboard??
pci-e 4.0 is backwards compatible...so yes....i own a i7 6700 with a 3060
msi b250 pc mate motherboard 16gb ram msi 1050 ti card 450 w power and intel core i7 7700 processor I want to update my video card in this system I wonder if I will have a lot of problems with cards 3060 and above?
Hey there, the 7700 was a solid processor. You'll have some bottleneck going on in specific games at with higher framerates but it should run well till you can upgrade later
I just upgraded to the regular RTX 3060. I ordered it on Amazon yesterday, and I should receive it tomorrow. I got it on sale for $397. With tax, and 4 year warranty, I spent a total of $472.77. It's been awhile since I've upgraded my video card, and I thought now was the time since I can afford it. Here is my system specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 (3rd Gen) 3800x
GPU: MSI GeForce Gaming X 1060 6GB will be replaced with GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G (REV2.0) Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-N3060GAMING OC-12GD Video Card
Ram: 16GB DDR4
HDD: Samsung 500GB Solid State for the main drive
HDD2: Seagate Barracuda 4TB
Did I make a good decision upgrading my video card?
I would deff say so, Yout 3800x will have no issue pushing that card. IT will be a nice bump over the 1060!
@@BlueprintPC Awesome! I'm not big on 4K gaming, I'm fine with gaming at 1080p at 60fps. Do you think it would be worth upgrading from the RTX 3060 anytime soon or will I be fine for awhile? I just don't want any big or small lagg in my gameplay. That's why I upgraded to the RTX 3060 from the GTX 1060 because I would get a small lagg and frame drops from time to time with some of my games. Hopefully, this RTX 3060 will fix that!
@@mathias0584 Hey there, So if you goal is 1080p/ 60 FPS, you should be ok for a little bit. What you should start preparing for would potentially be a CPU upgrade. This will unlock extra FPS and give you better performance. Mind you, you should be fine for a bit but maybe start saving for an AM5 platform shift. By time that is done you can start saving for a GPU. However! again if you are happy with what you have, don't upgrade. Put the money a side until you need it. I haven't jumped to AM5 yet myself. I'm running 5900x with a 4090 and I know I can get more FPS with a faster cpu but I can easily wait for a bit. One other thing to note is that if your games are on a HDD(spinning drive) that could be a big cause for what you are having. Newer games have changed the way they load assets I had to switch to a Good SSD for a game drive to fix the issue.
@@BlueprintPC ah ok. That explains the lagg. I have all my steam games saved to my Seagate Barracuda 4TB drive which is a regular sata drive. I don't use my Samsung 500GB Solid State for gaming mainly because of the drive only being 500GB. I will look into buying a new solid state drive, and cpu. Thanks for the advice!
again that is a thought lol I cannot confirm that is your specific issue but just some thing to look into. I will say it will deff help with "pop in" when gaming. I noticed when rapidly going around game worlds I dont as often have to wait for textures to load after switching. I will state MAKE SURE the SSD you get has a DRAM cache as that is the biggest factor. Crucial MX500 is a good option that has DRAM or Samsung QVO
My 3060 is a 3 fan model and is only 299$
