GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G (REV2.0) Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-N3060GAMING OC-12GD Video Card

I have heard lots of negative press about nvidia cards in linux systems. People say they are hard to install or will not work at all. Maybe it is a different Linux or bad install advice. My 10 year old AMD system was getting a bit slow for the apps I was running so rather than just buy a new system, I replaced the boot/home drive with an SSD. Made a huge difference in disk speed. Great. Next was the video card performance. I had an old nvidia 1050Ti (simple install and 10 minutes to download and install the nvidia/Cuda drivers) but wanted something faster to drive my 4K monitor. Unplugged the 1050 and installed the 3060. No changes needed. Ran a bunch of benchmarks and it was much faster. Video recording/editing and CAD work is most of what I do on this system and there is a noticeable improvement. Well I am happy with the upgrades and much better performance so will maybe keep this system another 10 years. No relation to nvidia but have been using their cards for 20 years.

One of the Top graphics cards available on the consumer market. Still not outdated!

UPS were the people who shipped this via Amazon. I spent nearly $320 on this product and UPS was very incompetent and extremely stressful to work with. First off I had to download the proprietary UPS app to track my package, second off they skipped my house literally 3 times and then when they passed my house the 4th time, that's when they actually delivered it. Then they wanted a signature which my roommates were really not wanting to do since I was at work, but someone did sign for it and I just installed it in my computer.Please note that you do need a PSU that supports either a 6+2 pin or an 8-pin configuration, and if you have neither of those you need to upgrade your PSU. There are 8-pin adapters for this but they are very dangerous to use and are a serious housefire risk due to how the nature of the pins work by design.Now that the GPU is actually delivered and I'm looking at what it's doing performance wise, it's getting 97 FPS 1080p with the Uniengine Heaven benchmark. I bought this card as a replacement to my GTX 980 which was starting to fail. The second reason I bought this card was because I was tired of having 40 FPS while 1080P gaming. My goal is to get as close to 240FPS as possible and so far with this benchmark I'm doing, it's meeting my expectations.Please note that my settings for the Unigine Heaven benchmark 4.0 was Ultra Quality, 1920x1080 8xAA Fullscreen, Extreme Tessellation under a 2700x Ryzen 7 on Win 11. I'm aware that if I turned down Tessellation, my score would be higher.October 2024 Edit:GPU is still working after 4 months. GPU never really gets hot unless I put on a very intensive game. Most games get 140+ FPS with older titles HITTING that 240 FPS I bought the GPU for. Should've I gotten the 40xx series? I didn't bother cuz my PSU doesn't support 16-pin connectors that the 40xx lineup requires.Pros:-Almost always cool, never gets that hot-Is quiet even under load-140+ FPS usually... Had over 120+ FPS in the RE4 Remake and a solid 40-60 in the new Silent Hill 2 Remake-GREAT PRICE for the GPU you actually getCons:-GPU still struggles with DX12, my 980 GTX struggled even worse with the API-2x 6-Pin (or 4+2) required, meaning you will need to have support for that out of the box on the PSU-Runs hot when playing something like Resident Evil 7, and you can feel the heat emanating from it when it does run hot-There are better GPUs to buy that perform better but this 3060 RTX is more for if you got a tight budget-UPS will overcomplicate the shipping process and you'll have to download thier software to track your package

Excellent value for self-hosted AI and also very good for games. Not the best, obviously, but it was the perfect choice for me. It runs quite large AI models and most games run really well.

I need to replace my older card and chose this. It has great graphic and looks amazing. It works with my gaming pc and was easy to install. It functions very well with gaming. The fans on it are very quiet and also have alot of air movement to them. So far i am beyond happy with this.

I bought this card because I was exceeding the 6GB VRAM limit on my GTX 1660 super while video editing. So I was looking for a card with more than 8GB of VRAM and this was the only affordable option, as the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB was about $600 at the time of purchase.It pairs well with my Ryzen 5 5600X, offering fast 4K playback in DaVinci Resolve and amazing framerates at 1080p in any game I throw at it.Overall, it is a great card for the price, and I definitely recommend it for any content creator who games in their free time!

This RTX 3060 isn’t the absolute top-tier card, but it handles most games really well. I’ve been able to run everything I play at good settings without major issues, which is exactly what I needed. The 3X WINDFORCE fans keep it cool and quiet, and overall it feels like a quality build. For the price, it’s a great option if you want solid performance without spending a fortune on high-end cards. Video quality is good and was super easy to install.

I only play call of duty so that’s all I can reference here. Runs on all high settings. Running at 120 fps. Processor runs at 100% some of the time along with using 100% of the ram at times too. But for the money you it’s good enough for me!

I recently upgraded from a gtx 970 and, telling by the old card, needed a new budget graphics card to run my games. This met my expectations perfectly and I’m getting around 60fps for most modern games on high settings. It’s super quiet and stays really cold, even under 99% usage. The price to performance could be a little better so if you want something closer to that, get a step up like a 9060xt or something 16gigs. The graphics are great if you don’t mind sacrificing your frames. 60 fps to play games that aren’t necessarily 60fps on console is a pretty good deal for me! It’ll take just under 200w of power so I’d recommend a nice power supply to support it. Easy to install considering it’s a smaller, two fan gpu.Overall great card for budget gaming or esports. Not a great card for someone who wants to have the best frames in 2025.

The card works great, temperature under full load don't go above 72-75°C which is pretty respectable, if you are in creativity field the 12 gb vram certainly helps. Overall if you need a pretty solid graphics card with a lot of vram and it falls into your budget then go for it.

This budget-friendly graphics card is an excellent choice for gamers who want to enjoy the latest releases at high settings without breaking the bank. It offers impressive performance for its price point—providing smooth gameplay and vibrant visuals—and operates exceptionally quietly, enhancing your overall gaming experience. One thing to keep in mind is that, like many modern graphics cards, it may require a slightly larger computer case for proper cooling and optimal installation. Overall, it’s a smart investment for those seeking high performance on a budget without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

Je continue à faire confiance à Gigabyte pour sa qualité de fabrication et sa fiabilité. Cette carte vient en remplacement d'une"'vieille" 1060 et l'entrée dans les RTX. Le vectoriel (tensor cores) sont effectifs, utile pour l' AI mais aussi pour l'accélération et le rendu en jeux et là c'est la claque même en 1440p (Nvidia drivers version 3.5)
