Bought the RTX 3060 to upgrade my i7 7700k to play the new MS flight simulator game. I also beefed up ram to 48 gb to do this, too.
-Price was barely above MSRP when I bought it ($679 USD). -Significantly lighter than the RTX 3090 it replaced (and no trash 12V HPWR connector!) -Runs cool while benching and gaming (60 celsius at 100% utilization) -At 100% utilization, you can't even hear the fans. Seriously, this thing is whisper quiet. -Better performance than my RTX 3090 (except for Ray Tracing which I leave off anyways). -Exceptional price to performance for 3440x1440p ultrawide gaming.
Quiet and cool. Fast, looks great in a build that doesn't want RGB everywhere. Build quality is good not as good as MSI's Suprim but that card cost way more money. Getting similar FPS as my 7900XTX. 60C while gaming. Can't hear the fans in my case Y60. 61% fan speed while gaming(2200RPM). 245watts while gaming. I know TPU review of the card had it at 40db for noise but I am not hearing this or even close to it... I have had cards at 40db and this is not it. Maybe they got a lemon...
I feel this is an excellent card for what you pay. It runs cool and still allows a bit of OC being the basic model. Sapphire has always produced top-notched products.
-Runs all games at 1440p at max settings -Cyberpunk runs at a solid 60 fps on ultra settings and psycho ray-tracing with FSR enabled, 30 fps solid (cinematic lol) with FSR off. Honestly, I can barely tell the difference in quality. - FITS MY CASE! Seriously, amazing how small this is for the performance, barely any difference in size between my previous card, the xfx merc 6650 xt - Can not understate this... - Power requirements are not insane - Dually noted, size comparrison bonus points - Never knew I needed RT before this, *Doge*"So Affordable"*barf* - Not caring about bleeding edge has it's rewards - I needz good cablez - Heat! MAN! - Can be used as a space heater during epic snowstorm - Promotes holiday season. Released around xmas (good times, see title) -*MSRP for modern tech, anyone? YES PLEASE

ray tracing and FPS performance is a huge upgrade
This is a great card, easy to install, runs everything I throw at it very well on ultra settings 1440p. The AMD software makes it very easy to overclock and tune the card.
- runs FRIGID under load - can be used for high framerate 4k gaming (fortnite, Oblivion remaster, ETS2 are what I've played) with DLSS4 - default fan curves are perfect
Easy to install and runs great. Works great and graphics are great for mid level pc.
Came in sealed box, new, didnt opened yet, but seems to be OK
Running Tarkov on max 100fps across all maps Running BF4 max settings 200fps all maps Can't even hear the fans Running. Disregard posts about loud fans, tgey are either a sign of improper swtt8ngs, or they have weak processors and overloading the graphic cards.
performance, comes with adapter for psu.
32GB ram! Best handling of very large graphic demanding programs such as MSFS2024 in VR 2x4K such as Pimax Crystal headset. Finally able to get butter smooth flights even in congested areas and with super detailed aircrafts and yes all this in TAA mode (not DLSS!). Too much artifact and blurry issues with DLSS in VR even with the latest DLSS versions.
Small form factor and runs cool.
High frame rate, easy to install, runs quiet, solid built.
Running on a 700W Gold PSU and I can run Black Myth: Wukong on Cinematic without a stutter. Have been monitoring power draw under heavy load and it is maxing out around 120W I could list all the pros, but this should speak for just how solid this card is.
It was important to me to have flexibility and with 2 HDMI and 2 DP, it should minimize the number of adapters I'll need, though I definitely need to upgrade my monitor capability to bring it in line with the output power of this card. I wanted the latest new model for my build and this card came out 2 days before I began part selection. The price was as reasonable as you'll find for a brand new (January 2024) release. It is very quiet, though I haven't stressed its capabilities yet, so the fans haven't been up to full speed. I had a lot of things to do in my build to get it going before I got around to obtaining drivers, but it ran just fine with one screen using only Windows native default driver. Getting the drivers and their installation was simple and straightforward and the interface with Windows is trouble free. The software seems to integrate its own 4 ports plus the motherboard port, providing option for 5 connections, though I'll never use more than the 3 I have plugged into the card now. The board is well packaged, handsome and smooth--and easy to handle. There are no peel off plastics that are annoying and leave bits hanging. It is light enough that no back end support is required.
You already know it is the best card out there money can buy. This one works, no crashing in games.

The thermals on this card are great and has to be one of the quietest cards I have ever used. I'm running this at 4k with the monitor AORUS FO32U2P and the card doesn't break a sweat. Max settings on everything and this card just rocks. Have been trying to get a 5090 but after getting this and installing it I won't even bother and will just wait for the next generation in a couple years. You won't be disappointed with a 5080 or this card in particular.
Defaults to ultra settings for everything, what does that tell you?
