Unbelievable card

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti V2 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card TUF-RTX3060TI-O8G-V2-GAMING (LHR)
ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti V2 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card TUF-RTX3060TI-O8G-V2-GAMING (LHR)

Pros: Super easy software included to utilize OC Capable of streaming 1080p while gaming at 1080p very well. Runs quiet for my purposes.

Cons: HUGE card. Be prepared. I have had a case that can hold basically any size card you can imagine, but when I got this thing and opened up the box, I was blown away by the size. I have a PS5 and this card is only a few inches shorter than the PS5. That was staggeringly surprising as everyone knows the size of the PS5. So, be prepared for this monster.

Overall Review: I am not a huge PC gamer. I was tired of the randomness that was Windows 10 and my existing cards in my system were outdated enough to not allow me to install Windows 11. So, I entered the card market begrudgingly. This card is such an incredible card for someone like me. I play StarCraft 2 mostly and use OBS Studio to stream to YouTube simultaneously. Streaming and gaming at 1080p is a breeze with this card. Maxed out StarCraft at Extreme settings and it can run stable at around 100fps most times. Even when playing big 3v3 matchups with about 100 units on the screen all attacking and moving and rendering the environment, it only drops to about 30fps. No lost frames. No jittering. No screen tearing. Nothing. That, to me, is perfection. RTS have to be some of the most demanding games out there for frames. And this card can not only power through that but also maintain a flawless looking stream at 1080p60? That's just incredible. P.S: I acquired this card through the Newegg Shuffle process. Can't lie, it only took me 10 days of Shuffling to get selected and essentially gifted this card. Yes, I had to pay maybe a premium price as idk what MSRP actually is for this card. That being said, I still believe using the Shuffle was a million times better than the pain and frustration of hoping to get a card in this time with luck and hoping bots don't steal all the cards for scalpers to increase the price by hundreds of dollars.
