The performance/value of this card is amazing.

Holysht ! My god , this crazy price. I think I should be very carefully not to blow my card up.

They are not retested for each review, because I make changes to the test system only every few months. The results are still valid because I'm not patching the OS or games.

Right now I'm setting up my 2021 GPU review bench, which has new games, drivers, etc. and everything will be retested for that


There's a single chart as "efficiency" now

Thanks good to know! :）

Not relevant, performance is too little compared to the previous series and the price is way too high.
The xx60 series should really be under € 250. The power consumption is also constantly increasing and with it the heat and therefore better coolers have to be installed.

Yeah still incredibly happy with my €300 RTX2060. I kinda regreted spending so much on hardware for a while (considering I'm not much of a gamer any more) but as it turns out it was a really good buy.

even a rx580 was a good buy in >Sept. while most build helpers on reddit in >June were saying to wait, I mostly advised to buy then bc you really didn't know what was going to happen.

Could've bought two rx580 and hoarded. new €150-180 they sell now for €350 used. sealed new, probably more.

I suspected something will happen with the console launch happening too. hilarious stuff tbh

2.5 Slot 3 Fan cooler on a 180W card??? Those AIB need to pay up for wasting important resources.

that's what I thought at first too, but go compare the temps/ fan RPMs to other models.

Two Fan 2 Slot models are still quite and cool.

@IceShroom
may be but 2000 rpm is not 1200 rpm, and 10° is 10°. if you don't need the space, I'd go with triple fan ez

2000RPM will be still quiter than a AIO pump that everybody runs this day. And fan will 2000RPM when playing game and that time most will only hear game sound not gup's fan sound.

@IceShroom great pivot

So it's basically a 2070 for more money. Amazing....

A regular at the stripcenter computer shop today has a 1080ti. On the comparison charts it looks like it wouldn't be worth an upgrade to the 3060? We all agreed its far better to wait until the 3080 becomes readily available at regular market prices before taking any jump. I personally always wait with GPU upgrades until I get about double the performance to what I have, and generally stay away from any top tier cards proffering for twice the price a paltry 20% - 40% more performance. One of the Bangladesh boys said: "Anyone now buying a 3060 is a panic buyer and deserves what he gets."

Simply an aside: The word has been from the computer show dealers that if the 'Crypto Miner' 3000 series GPU mass-sales will come about, that a slew of 980ti and 1080 and even some 2080's used cypto cards will hit the secondary market at super favorable prices. The only question: Would you buy a cheap crypto card to tie you over until time will heal all wounds or until until hell freezes over?

Great card review.. i wondering about the thermal pads size before dismantling my card for repasting and pading.
Any one have the thickness of the pads?
