Pros: very cool and quiet. great upgrade from rx570 4gb. plays nice with ryzen 3700x for SAM. runs games 60-75fps or much higher at 1080P and 1440p.
Cons: none due to the climate of todays part shortage, covid pandemic, US tariffs on Chinese goods and the whole world generally being on fire
Overall Review: Thank you internet for bashing this card so hard! Without you guys I would not have been able to get this in the shuffle on its release day. I've been entering the shuffle to try to get a 3060ti for around 479$ for the past month or two with no luck whatsoever. This card came up on its release day on the shuffle at the crazy price of 379.99$. I entered the shuffle and was able to purchase it. I knew nothing about the card when I did. A quick google search showed everyone taking massive dumps on this card. I was a bit worried. But then it actually came in the mail and I was able to get it slotted in my PC. This card works fantastic! At 1080p and 1440p I am hitting around 60-75 fps for games I am currently playing (Death Stranding, Control, Red Dead 2). And honestly that's all that I really need from a GPU as I have a 75hz 1440p monitor. This replaces my almost 4 year old rx570 4GB so this is quite a step up for me. For further benchmarks I recommend looking at Eurogamers review of the card as I got pretty much what they got in their article and it realistically shows what to expect. Could the GPU be better? of course it could. Could the price be lower? Most definitely. But to get this card for MSRP($379.99) in todays climate that clearly will not be getting any better any time soon, I am more than happy with this card.
