First of all it made it here in literally two days after I placed my order they estimated that it would take 12 days so Im really happy about that. I used tax money to buy my pc for 1500 about two years ago and it had a EVGA RTX 3060Ti on it pretty sure it was a 12gb and to be completely honest this graphics card is just as good if not better because theres more options than the 3060 that improve the frame rate and overall performance of whatever it is youre playing. I thought most of these reviews were fake for how good they were but honestly this thing really is just this good and if youre looking for a mid to high range build I would 100000% recommend that you save yourself some money dont spend 1200 on a 4070 when you can pay 211 for this and its more than enough to fulfill any of your needs use the other 800 you wouldve spent on a better cpu or more memory and ram Id definitely go with an upgrade on the cpu tho
- performs just as well as more expensive models - no bling, really low key all black simple design - vanilla design and specs with slight OC
The vapor chamber cooler can soak up a ton of heat before fans ever need to ramp up. Most of my games have never needed the fan to run beyond the minimum speed, 1200 rpm. When you manually enable the fans, it'll drop to 2C above room temperature, like 28C. Just insane. Meanwhile, I'll open YouTube and my Ryzen CPU will randomly spike to 66C, it's a comical difference between the two. No regrets spending a little more money just to see those super low temperatures while 4K gaming on ultra, at least when I purchased the card the premium for the vanguard model wasn't much more than the other 5070. Very similar feeling to splurging on a premium heatsink for a CPU, just to see those low low temperatures.
-Doesnt break a sweat at 1440p -Stays at 60 degrees under full load -AMD drivers have been solid for years -Much cheaper than comparable RTX 4060ti/4070 -Runs fine on a 650 watt PSU
Price is great, its overclocked (I guess), and runs cool.
-Runs extremely cool -Easily OCed/undervolted -The RGB looks amazing, added so much flare to my PC -Literally double the performance of my 2070S

I had a 1050 and it played Ghost Recon Wildlands only medium settings. This is set to the highest setting with plenty of space! Now I have to upgrade my cpu. Darn.
This 3060 12gb model looks great , worked as it should Plug and play
Really quiet, cant hear fans while playing games at 4K. Giant cooler that was also made for the 5090 versions so it can handle all the power you throw at it. Handles games really well. Amazing lighting features on the card, in person the fan lighting looks a lot better than in the video.
Great value! DLSS allows it to work well even at 4k as long as you aren't trying to max out settings in the most demanding games.
It's really fast, leaving my 1070 in the dust. It's also quiet, even when under load.
Quiet Great looking card Performs better than I had thought
Less power hungry than the 6900XT while being faster Smaller footprint so it can fit smaller cases easier 2, 8-pin power connectors
Good value for the price I paid ($182 USD in a combo deal) 1080P, 60-70 fps avg with high-ultra (BG3, GTAv) 1080P, 70-90 fps avg with the highest settings (Valheim, Baro) and if the game supports Vulcan I usually get about 10-30 more frames. with Freesync premium anything from 44 to165 fps at 1080P is flawless for me.
- Simple install and no issues out of the box - Love the simple look on the card, no crazy RGB just one light bar. Nice, Simple, Sleek design. - Heatsink is insanely good, idles 35-39c, maxes out at 60-65c - Quiet and no coil whineeee~! - Performance bump from a 3080, definitely worth the purchase on my end.
-Looks great -runs perfectly -drivers are fixed that caused black screens -running at 27 degrees Celsius at idle -with msi's included 12 vhpwr cable the card runs great and looks slick
- Awesome 1080p performance with potential to move to 1440p. - 16 GB VRAM - Very cool, very quiet - Access to FSR 4
