- Amazing cooling performance - Good performance - DLSS - Raytracing - Quiet coil whine

The pricing

Ignoring the fact that we are in a world where there are chip shortages and crypto booms and crashes. This model of the 3060 performs amazingly and looks quite nice to the eye. With DLSS, this card is a massive beast when it comes to games that support this feature and allows this card to excel more than it normally would. I use it for both 1080p and 1440p gaming. Haven't seen this card dip below the 60fps mark when it comes to 1440p ultra settings and the cooling of the card is extremely amazing. It's been quite some time since I've seen a card be able to hover below 70 degrees celsius when running on full load. All in all, it's a really great card. Just a shame that the pricing currently isn't that great due to low supply, high demand, chip shortages, and crypto. If you get the chance to grab one, I wouldn't regret it and neither should you.

Working right out of the box with drivers that were installed in my system from my previous RTX 2080. Nvidia noticed the card-swap and updated to the latest driver for this 3060 generation card. It's JUST short enough that I didn't have to move the rad from my CPU AIO from the front of the case to another location, even tho it's just a Fractal Design Define C and NOT a massive case Supporting a 32" 4K display perfectly.

I'd rather SOME of the hot air from this card would blow right out the back of the computer, like Founder Edition cards... instead of heat-soaking my other nice components by ONLY venting inside the PC case.

Great card for the money..

DOA, because of final sale cannot exchange or return. Gigabyte support is useless,took 3 months to ship it back after RMA, but received back the same dead card. Donot buy these cards.
