Premium card. Overkill cooling.
Pros: - This card has great cooling and can run nearly silent while gaming, though it does make noise if the fans are maxed out. - Overclocks very nicely, you can get it running to around a 3070's base level - Looks premium and is made of metal
Cons: - It's big. Check your case clearance. Consider a GPU support arm. - The cooler is really overkill for the tier of card it is. If you want to spend this much on a card, you might be better off with a 3070.
Overall Review: This is probably the best 3060 TI you can buy. It has great cooling and overclocking potential. If you're someone who cares a lot about build quality and cooling, this is an excellent card for that, and the 3060 TI is no slouch, especially with some overclocking. I bought this because it was the only card I could get my hands on, but I'm satisfied with what I got for the extra cost over the Founders Edition. I probably would have gotten a 3070 if I had the choice, but if you want a 3060 TI, this is an excellent model of that card. Just beware of how big it is - it's nearly 3 slots and is very long. It's taller than an Xbox Series X - see photo.
