I super liked this vid, and I think I can use your help in choosing my new gpu.

In 3D work, the VRAM and speed are not related very much. 16 GB of VRAM will allow a certain size of scene and texture resolutions, and the speed of the GPU is not dependent on VRAM size. The only limitation is that when you run out of VRAM, you won't be able to render at full speed, or maybe not be able to render at all depending on the software. So for the 4060 Ti 16 GB specifically, it definitely can make full use of its VRAM in 3D work, and it will not run slow by any means. It is not like gaming, where the low end GPUs are slow for gaming, but some have high VRAM, like the 7600 XT 16 GB. The VRAM allows you to play in 4K, but the GPU is still a bit too slow for high settings. In 3D work, the higher VRAM is better no matter how fast the GPU is, because it increases the limits of scene complexity. Hopefully this helps, but I realize it may be a confusing answer.

@@ContradictionDesign Aaaaahhhh, this reply feels like a stress reliever for me! 😊🥰 Thanks a lot, brother. And now I have an another little confusion on different models😇 (Gigabyte 3060 Eagle, Eagle OC, Windforce OC, etc.). Which one is the best?
@@Macro_Station The OC models and 3 fan models will be slightly faster and are a little quieter, but I would not worry about it. The upgrades in the cooler are rarely worth it vs the massive price difference between them. So whatever fits in your case and your budget is best. I have plenty of tiny zotac Rtx 4070 that run just fine mining crypto 24/7 for months on end. My big MSI triple fan models run at the same speed, and are slightly warmer.
Is there a difference in card performance when rendering in blender versions 3.6 and 4.1? And if so, why ? And I'm glad I found your channel! Regards !
Hey thanks! There are very minor differences between 3.6 and 4.1. I would say they are more likely testing error instead of actual changes. There were no render engine updates in 4.0+ so far.
As long as the price is ok for you, do not avoid the 3060 just because they are discontinued. You will still get full warranty on new GPUs. The 3060 is probably a better choice because 8 GB of VRAM (on the 4060) is pretty small nowadays for 3D work.
Thanks for the effort you put in this video , I also have rtx 3060 12GB version but i got slower times than yours for example i got 411 sec in lone monk and you got 357 also the barber scene i got 147 sec and you got 128 what could be wrong ? i rendered all the scenes multiple times to make sure.
What motherboard and CPU are you running? I have found some non-zero speed differences due to Pcie generation. I run my benchmarks on an X570 system with 5950x, so Pcie4.0x16 slot is fully available to the GPU.
hi, in 0:42, rtx 3060 is 29 second and rtx 4060ti 16gb is 17.7 second. you mean asus proart rtx 4060ti 16gb right? it means its performance is twice of rtx 3060 12gb right?
My 4060 Ti is the Gigabyte Gaming model. Basically the test shows speed for this exact frame, so you should consider all of the different scenes to make a decision. But yes, the 4060 Ti would be nearly 2x faster in that exact case.
recently I've installed ZLUDA on my RX 6600 rigs, just done some render on classroom scene and finished at 01:09.53 while on HIP RT it finished at 1:17.90. not as fast as the 3060 but yea decent enough "upgrade"
I just find that to be so funny. I tested Zluda once too. Same result. Nvidia software is even faster on AMD hardware than AMD's own software. Literally just confuses me a little. But yeah, if it works, it works I guess. Just shows how much some additional optimization would benefit AMD GPUs I think.
@@ContradictionDesign yeah hopefully in the future team red would've made their cards better at "productivity" task as great brand competition is always good for us consumer
@@raycw Absolutely. And I know drivers are difficult to develop, but AMD is just so close to being a real threat to Nvidia for productivity. I hope all these big leaks, claiming RDNA5 will be a game changer, are true.
I m actually rendering in houdini karma xpu . I have 3 gpu in my mind - 3060,3060ti,4060 . which one should i pick ( also double graphic card is good ?)
The 4060 has more features for AV1 encoding if you video edit. Otherwise, the 3060 is great for 12 GB VRAM at a lower price. So if your scenes are normally bigger then the 3060 may be better. Multi GPU is OK, but it is not well optimized for Blender. The only way to get full speed on multiple GPUs in Blender is to run separate instances of Blender and use one GPU on each instance to render separate frames. Enabling two gpus in one scene will not fully use both GPUs. The one advantage is that you can continue to work on GPU0 while GPU1 renders a different scene. But running two instances of Blender also uses more system RAM by quite a bit. So you will need more than 32 GB of RAM more than likely. This is a lot of info, so let me know if you have more questions!
@@mayanksharma2104 Hey! Sorry I just saw this now. The 4060 will be slightly faster at ray traced rendering, but the 8 GB of VRAM will be a problem. 12 GB or more can be fine with reasonable sized textures and such. You can always use CUDA for final renders, and Blender will let the system RAM store anything the VRAM won't fit. This is slower than GPU rendering alone, but it is much faster than CPU rendering. So that is an option for the times you need to render, which could be done over a few nights while you sleep.
Sup man I have a GTX 1660 super but wanted to upgrade for a while now and I have been thinking of getting the RTX 4070 super but i was wondering which GPU you would recommend for realistic animations in that price range
The 4070 super is very fast and efficient. The VRAM is the only question. If you are creating realistic scenes, you may have trouble with the 12 GB of VRAM. Do you mean realistic texture or realistic everything else too? Dense environments, plants, hair curves, transparent objects like windows, etc. If your scenes use tons of assets, the 4070 super may not have enough VRAM. Let me know which way your scenes lean. If you want to spend a similar amount, a used 3090 might be a slightly better idea, although they are bigger and use more power.
@@ContradictionDesignI hope you have seen game like PUBG. I am interested to make the environment like that.(Not a realistic one but with enough details, trees, vehicles, houses, etc. ) Am I thinking a lot? Would you prefer AMD to make such things? Is 3060 capable of making that?
@@noobzone5291 I play PUBG quite often. Creating a world on game engines takes less resources than you might think, but it would probably be a bit harder to do on the 3060. I am trying to learn unreal engine, and I will know more about the hardware requirements eventually. But I would still say that VRAM will play a large part in the development process. And you might want to preview your world at a larger scale then when playing the game, so it will probably be harder to run the engine than to run the game itself. But I don't have a for sure answer yet. I am definitely still diving in on game design
@@ContradictionDesign I haven't started yet. I am searching for my answers here and there. I left 2 comments here already, 3 including this one. From my research, I found that Vram is essential. 3060 is found at a reasonable price here. Will you give me a GPU list that I should go for? There are many and it is confusing to select. If you give me a list in ascending order, I can select one according to my budget. (No need of an expensive one) Will you do that for me?
@@noobzone5291 Sorry this is so late, but RUclips does not tell me when I have replies to replies, so I have to search harder to know they are on here. GPUs I would look into, from cheap to midrange: 1. RTX 3060 12 GB. Good amount of VRAM, OK speed, good option for budget scenarios. 2. RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. This GPU will be considerably faster than the 3060, and has 16 GB VRAM. So it is just all around better. Probably costs 40% more than the 3060. 3. RTX 3090 used. 24 GB VRAM, close to 4070 super in speed, but high power draw and large cooler size. The aftermarket prices will vary wildly by location, but you could end up with a great card for the price of a 4070. 4. RTX 4070 Ti Super. 16 GB VRAM, much faster than 3090, and fairly efficient power wise. This is definitely high end of the price range, but still kind of reasonable compared to prior generations for what you get. Again, AMD will not be your best bet for certain programs, so unless you know for sure all of your softwares have AMD support, then avoid them.
The 4070 will be better for viewport rendering speed, since modern Blender does not scale well with multiple GPUs. For final renders, the spare 3060 would allow you to continue working on your files while you render. So if final renders are a problem for you all day, then maybe get the 2 3060s. But more than likely the 4070 is the better choice.
The 4060 is probably slightly faster than the 3060, so you can use that for a comparison against the 6700 XT. If I remember right, the 3060 beats the 6700 XT in rendering speed. So the 4060 should too. I would think about how much VRAM you need. If 8 GB is enough for you, then the 4060 is probably the better choice
Any motherboard with Pcie gen 3x8 lane will be plenty fast for a 3060. The speed of the lanes on the motherboard will have very little impact on rendering above that point.
GPU acceleration is a huge speed boost in video editing just like in 3D rendering. I can render 10 minute videos in 1440p60 in a minute or two at most, in Davinci Resolve.
@@ContradictionDesign wow, that GPU is ultimate, so powerful brother. Sorry I ask you many questions, this is last one. Does handbrake software for minimize video size, use GPU 80-100%? Thank you.
@@AliRaza-i4s7l well for ray tracing or realistic rendering, the 3060 is best. For gaming without any rt, these two are probably closer together. What kind of use are you wanting to do?
@@Kumar-hg5di Hi! You could try undervolting the GPU to use less power, but this should be done with extreme caution, and is not a good idea for beginners. Undervolting and overclocking are not really worth it for rendering in my opinion. Pushing the GPU to do more often causes instability that is not helpful when you are working on complex scenes.
@@ContradictionDesign ok . And does it consume 170 watt constantly or consume less power while working with simple scene in viewport. If less percentage of gpu is being used,then what electricity it may take near about 100 watt?
@@Kumar-hg5di When you navigate the viewport in solid view mode the GPU will not work very hard. If you turn on render previews, the GPU will run at full speed, because moving the view around is like running a new frame every time. As far as power draw, I might have to test it more. It is not as straightforward as GPU speed, but I could maybe create a new table.
@@ContradictionDesign thank, you sir, one more question should i go with Gigabyte or msi... 3060 Gigabye is most low prise,,then msi,,then Asus is little more costly here.
@@Kumar-hg5di For lower power GPUs the cooler will make less difference than with really hot ones. I really like MSI dual or triple fan GPUs. But you can't go wrong with any of these brands
Bro, if I have RTX 3060 Ti. which better do i buy Intel core i5 12400 or intel core i5 12400f. For blender and unity purposes. (I'm kinda overwhelmed with Both gpu make BIG difference or not). Thanks.
Either of those CPUs will work the same basically. In basically all applications, you will use your 3060 ti and not any iGPU on the CPU. So the choice just comes down to price or performance at that point, but you could use the f model just fine!
@@IamShashi98 Intel K models are unlocked for overclocking, KF models are unlocked but do NOT have integrated graphics (hence the slight discount). Models without K or KF are locked for overclocking, and may have slightly lower power design. So the KF and K versions will perform similar to each other for 3D and video editing. If you have a discrete GPU, get the KF model for the discount. If you will not have a discrete GPU, then you will have to get the K model. I would definitely edit video and render 3D on a discrete GPU with KF CPU, if I was building a system with Intel. Let me know if you have more questions!
Hai, i have i5 12400f, msi h610 ddr5, 16gd ram and 512 gb ssd, so can you tell me msi 3060 12gb is enough for learning part, working and creating videos, in blender and also PSU.
RTX 3060 is a good starter GPU, with a decent amount of VRAM for a kind of low price. The RTX 3060 is not super fast though, so final renders of animations that are more than a few seconds long will take a long time. This is fine if you can let it run overnight or are just learning. If you get further into Blender, you might need more VRAM eventually, but you can always trade your GPU out for a faster one in the future. As far as power supplies, you will only need a small one with this build. 550 Watt would be enough. I would recommend a 650 Gold or higher personally, because they are not much more expensive, but are more efficient. What PSU brands are you considering? I have used a ton of corsair and EVGA PSUs in the past. I know people also like seasonic, but I have not had one. Really MSI, ASUS, and other major brands will be fine. The PSU is NOT the place to go cheap to save a few bucks though. Let me know if you have more questions!
@@PVREntertainments2022 I would say the 3060 is a good value. The 4060 Ti 16 GB has extra VRAM and some extra features, but it costs quite a bit more. If the RTX 4070 fits your budget, it is much faster than the 3060. What is your GPU price limit? I can be more helpful with more info.
@@PVREntertainments2022 Those would be good choices so you don't have to upgrade them later for a larger power draw GPU someday down the road. PSU should go 10+ years, and most of them have 10 year warranties.
@@ContradictionDesign thanks for replying. well there are also 4060 and many latest cards, but they have less VRAM and they are costly too. the price of 3060 is decreased, so thinking of buying it. but have doubt how much it will handle all the 3d animation works.
@@sgdigital2026 well all it does is handle the rendering for the most part, so you really just need to consider time for rendering. It will do just fine with scenes up to 12 GB VRAM use. But your GPU won't impact the animation work itself, so don't worry about that part.
@@ContradictionDesign ok got your point. so with 3060 i can play games and do the 3d design works both smoothly right!? out of 10, what will be ur rating for 3060?
@@sgdigital2026 For 1080p gaming it will be great. 3D rendering with complex scenes will work ok, but take a little longer. Low power draw and noise while using it hard. I would rate it at 8/10. It's a good budget GPU. You can always render over night, so the slower GPU won't even matter as much. The PC hardware makers are very good at selling us the next, new things, but almost nobody actually needs them right when they come out. The 3060 can serve you well as long as you keep in mind it is a budget model. Someday you can trade it up if you really need to.
@@AndyTanguay Which is decent! I would like to throw 6 of them in a DL580 server and see how that does. My current servers don't support GPUs very well, and these dell PCs only do one midsize or two small GPUs. But honestly one 4090 beats an army of 3060, so that probably makes the most sense.

The upgrades in the cooler are rarely worth it vs the massive price difference between them. So whatever fits in your case and your budget is best. I have plenty of tiny zotac Rtx 4070 that run just fine mining crypto 24/7 for months on end. My big MSI triple fan models run at the same speed, and are slightly warmer.
Is there a difference in card performance when rendering in blender versions 3.6 and 4.1? And if so, why ? And I'm glad I found your channel! Regards !
Hey thanks! There are very minor differences between 3.6 and 4.1. I would say they are more likely testing error instead of actual changes. There were no render engine updates in 4.0+ so far.
Hey would you suggest to get a 3060 as it is discontinued by nvidia or should i go with rtx 4060
As long as the price is ok for you, do not avoid the 3060 just because they are discontinued. You will still get full warranty on new GPUs. The 3060 is probably a better choice because 8 GB of VRAM (on the 4060) is pretty small nowadays for 3D work.
Thanks for the effort you put in this video , I also have rtx 3060 12GB version
but i got slower times than yours
for example i got 411 sec in lone monk and you got 357
also the barber scene i got 147 sec and you got 128
what could be wrong ?
i rendered all the scenes multiple times to make sure.
What motherboard and CPU are you running? I have found some non-zero speed differences due to Pcie generation. I run my benchmarks on an X570 system with 5950x, so Pcie4.0x16 slot is fully available to the GPU.
hi, in 0:42, rtx 3060 is 29 second and rtx 4060ti 16gb is 17.7 second.
you mean asus proart rtx 4060ti 16gb right? it means its performance is twice of rtx 3060 12gb right?
My 4060 Ti is the Gigabyte Gaming model. Basically the test shows speed for this exact frame, so you should consider all of the different scenes to make a decision. But yes, the 4060 Ti would be nearly 2x faster in that exact case.
what are the other Specs like the CPU, RAM and Motherboard of your PC so i can compare my GPU performance accordingly
The test bench is: AMD R9 5950X, 64 GB DDR4 3600 RAM, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra motherboard. GPUs are run at Pcie 4.0x16 speed for single GPU tests.
recently I've installed ZLUDA on my RX 6600 rigs, just done some render on classroom scene and finished at 01:09.53 while on HIP RT it finished at 1:17.90. not as fast as the 3060 but yea decent enough "upgrade"
I just find that to be so funny. I tested Zluda once too. Same result. Nvidia software is even faster on AMD hardware than AMD's own software. Literally just confuses me a little. But yeah, if it works, it works I guess. Just shows how much some additional optimization would benefit AMD GPUs I think.
@@ContradictionDesign yeah hopefully in the future team red would've made their cards better at "productivity" task as great brand competition is always good for us consumer
@@raycw Absolutely. And I know drivers are difficult to develop, but AMD is just so close to being a real threat to Nvidia for productivity. I hope all these big leaks, claiming RDNA5 will be a game changer, are true.
Hi , good benchmarks.. where to download these benchmark files..? Like the classroom setup... ? I need to benchmark my 4070 super
Hey! Here are the files, along with lot's of other good stuff:

Thanks for watching!
@@ContradictionDesign Many thanks :)
How do i perform these tests? Is there are files i should search on google?
These scenes, and many other things are available for free at:

They are from Blender's website itself.
I m actually rendering in houdini karma xpu . I have 3 gpu in my mind - 3060,3060ti,4060 . which one should i pick ( also double graphic card is good ?)
The 4060 has more features for AV1 encoding if you video edit. Otherwise, the 3060 is great for 12 GB VRAM at a lower price. So if your scenes are normally bigger then the 3060 may be better.
Multi GPU is OK, but it is not well optimized for Blender. The only way to get full speed on multiple GPUs in Blender is to run separate instances of Blender and use one GPU on each instance to render separate frames. Enabling two gpus in one scene will not fully use both GPUs.
The one advantage is that you can continue to work on GPU0 while GPU1 renders a different scene.
But running two instances of Blender also uses more system RAM by quite a bit. So you will need more than 32 GB of RAM more than likely.
This is a lot of info, so let me know if you have more questions!
@@ContradictionDesign I wanna make 15-20 second animations 4k ....would the 4060 (8gb) be better than the rtx 3060 (12gb) ?
@@mayanksharma2104 Hey! Sorry I just saw this now. The 4060 will be slightly faster at ray traced rendering, but the 8 GB of VRAM will be a problem. 12 GB or more can be fine with reasonable sized textures and such.
You can always use CUDA for final renders, and Blender will let the system RAM store anything the VRAM won't fit. This is slower than GPU rendering alone, but it is much faster than CPU rendering. So that is an option for the times you need to render, which could be done over a few nights while you sleep.
@@ContradictionDesign hi I just started learning blender. Can i use 3060 for this?
Sup man I have a GTX 1660 super but wanted to upgrade for a while now and I have been thinking of getting the RTX 4070 super but i was wondering which GPU you would recommend for realistic animations in that price range
The 4070 super is very fast and efficient. The VRAM is the only question. If you are creating realistic scenes, you may have trouble with the 12 GB of VRAM. Do you mean realistic texture or realistic everything else too? Dense environments, plants, hair curves, transparent objects like windows, etc. If your scenes use tons of assets, the 4070 super may not have enough VRAM.
Let me know which way your scenes lean. If you want to spend a similar amount, a used 3090 might be a slightly better idea, although they are bigger and use more power.
@@ContradictionDesignI hope you have seen game like PUBG. I am interested to make the environment like that.(Not a realistic one but with enough details, trees, vehicles, houses, etc. )
Am I thinking a lot? Would you prefer AMD to make such things? Is 3060 capable of making that?
@@noobzone5291 I play PUBG quite often. Creating a world on game engines takes less resources than you might think, but it would probably be a bit harder to do on the 3060.
I am trying to learn unreal engine, and I will know more about the hardware requirements eventually. But I would still say that VRAM will play a large part in the development process. And you might want to preview your world at a larger scale then when playing the game, so it will probably be harder to run the engine than to run the game itself.
But I don't have a for sure answer yet. I am definitely still diving in on game design
@@ContradictionDesign I haven't started yet. I am searching for my answers here and there. I left 2 comments here already, 3 including this one.
From my research, I found that Vram is essential. 3060 is found at a reasonable price here.
Will you give me a GPU list that I should go for? There are many and it is confusing to select. If you give me a list in ascending order, I can select one according to my budget. (No need of an expensive one) Will you do that for me?
@@noobzone5291 Sorry this is so late, but RUclips does not tell me when I have replies to replies, so I have to search harder to know they are on here.
GPUs I would look into, from cheap to midrange:
1. RTX 3060 12 GB. Good amount of VRAM, OK speed, good option for budget scenarios.
2. RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. This GPU will be considerably faster than the 3060, and has 16 GB VRAM. So it is just all around better. Probably costs 40% more than the 3060.
3. RTX 3090 used. 24 GB VRAM, close to 4070 super in speed, but high power draw and large cooler size. The aftermarket prices will vary wildly by location, but you could end up with a great card for the price of a 4070.
4. RTX 4070 Ti Super. 16 GB VRAM, much faster than 3090, and fairly efficient power wise. This is definitely high end of the price range, but still kind of reasonable compared to prior generations for what you get.
Again, AMD will not be your best bet for certain programs, so unless you know for sure all of your softwares have AMD support, then avoid them.
Do you think getting 2 rtx 3060 is better than a rtx 4070 for 3d modelling and rendering ?
The 4070 will be better for viewport rendering speed, since modern Blender does not scale well with multiple GPUs. For final renders, the spare 3060 would allow you to continue working on your files while you render. So if final renders are a problem for you all day, then maybe get the 2 3060s. But more than likely the 4070 is the better choice.
How's the performance of buying 4060? I'm having a 2nd thought between rx 6700 xt and 4060
The 4060 is probably slightly faster than the 3060, so you can use that for a comparison against the 6700 XT. If I remember right, the 3060 beats the 6700 XT in rendering speed. So the 4060 should too. I would think about how much VRAM you need. If 8 GB is enough for you, then the 4060 is probably the better choice
What would be a good motherboard for the 3060? I have it too but it takes too long to render..
Any motherboard with Pcie gen 3x8 lane will be plenty fast for a 3060. The speed of the lanes on the motherboard will have very little impact on rendering above that point.
@@ContradictionDesign Oh alright, thanks a lot :)
@@jensworld444 not a problem!
hi again, i want gpu for render export in premier pro. is gpu make render time 1/2 or 1/3? are the result like this in blender?

How to reduce power consumption by 3060? What is overclocked, does it used in rendering here,
@@Kumar-hg5di Hi! You could try undervolting the GPU to use less power, but this should be done with extreme caution, and is not a good idea for beginners. Undervolting and overclocking are not really worth it for rendering in my opinion. Pushing the GPU to do more often causes instability that is not helpful when you are working on complex scenes.
@@ContradictionDesign ok . And does it consume 170 watt constantly or consume less power while working with simple scene in viewport. If less percentage of gpu is being used,then what electricity it may take near about 100 watt?
@@Kumar-hg5di When you navigate the viewport in solid view mode the GPU will not work very hard. If you turn on render previews, the GPU will run at full speed, because moving the view around is like running a new frame every time.
As far as power draw, I might have to test it more. It is not as straightforward as GPU speed, but I could maybe create a new table.
@@ContradictionDesign thank, you sir, one more question should i go with Gigabyte or msi... 3060
Gigabye is most low prise,,then msi,,then Asus is little more costly here.
@@Kumar-hg5di For lower power GPUs the cooler will make less difference than with really hot ones. I really like MSI dual or triple fan GPUs. But you can't go wrong with any of these brands

Thanks.
Either of those CPUs will work the same basically. In basically all applications, you will use your 3060 ti and not any iGPU on the CPU. So the choice just comes down to price or performance at that point, but you could use the f model just fine!
@@ContradictionDesign thanks.
@@ContradictionDesignk kf and normal cpus , which is best I mean 12000k 12000kf 12000 which is best for 3D and video editing
@@IamShashi98 Intel K models are unlocked for overclocking, KF models are unlocked but do NOT have integrated graphics (hence the slight discount).
Models without K or KF are locked for overclocking, and may have slightly lower power design. So the KF and K versions will perform similar to each other for 3D and video editing.
If you have a discrete GPU, get the KF model for the discount. If you will not have a discrete GPU, then you will have to get the K model.
I would definitely edit video and render 3D on a discrete GPU with KF CPU, if I was building a system with Intel.
Let me know if you have more questions!
Dude, why there is 2 4070 result? Which is correct?
The faster results are on the test bench and it has better pcie bandwidth. I will add some extra details to clear it up
Hai, i have i5 12400f, msi h610 ddr5, 16gd ram and 512 gb ssd, so can you tell me msi 3060 12gb is enough for learning part, working and creating videos, in blender and also PSU.
RTX 3060 is a good starter GPU, with a decent amount of VRAM for a kind of low price. The RTX 3060 is not super fast though, so final renders of animations that are more than a few seconds long will take a long time. This is fine if you can let it run overnight or are just learning.
If you get further into Blender, you might need more VRAM eventually, but you can always trade your GPU out for a faster one in the future.
As far as power supplies, you will only need a small one with this build. 550 Watt would be enough. I would recommend a 650 Gold or higher personally, because they are not much more expensive, but are more efficient.
What PSU brands are you considering? I have used a ton of corsair and EVGA PSUs in the past. I know people also like seasonic, but I have not had one. Really MSI, ASUS, and other major brands will be fine. The PSU is NOT the place to go cheap to save a few bucks though.

@@sgdigital2026 well all it does is handle the rendering for the most part, so you really just need to consider time for rendering. It will do just fine with scenes up to 12 GB VRAM use. But your GPU won't impact the animation work itself, so don't worry about that part.
@@ContradictionDesign ok got your point. so with 3060 i can play games and do the 3d design works both smoothly right!? out of 10, what will be ur rating for 3060?
@@sgdigital2026 For 1080p gaming it will be great. 3D rendering with complex scenes will work ok, but take a little longer. Low power draw and noise while using it hard. I would rate it at 8/10. It's a good budget GPU. You can always render over night, so the slower GPU won't even matter as much.
The PC hardware makers are very good at selling us the next, new things, but almost nobody actually needs them right when they come out.
The 3060 can serve you well as long as you keep in mind it is a budget model. Someday you can trade it up if you really need to.

@@AndyTanguay Which is decent! I would like to throw 6 of them in a DL580 server and see how that does. My current servers don't support GPUs very well, and these dell PCs only do one midsize or two small GPUs.
