Yep, it is a game changer for this series. Makes me think Nvidia could have positioned that whole segment a bit differently, they become extremely power efficient.

I got my 2060 super running at higher clocks with lower voltages using the curve editor (my card was power limited , it still hits the power limit in some scenarios but in most games its not after undervolting and less heat/ power consumption even though i have higher clocks than stock) .

Your temps are ok. Considering it's summer, I don't rec opening a new card for changing thermal paste.
Oh btw, what's your CPU temp? may be change thermal paste on that instead!

Required PSU for 3060Ti is 600w (choose specs, view full specs), so it's probably you're psu bottlenecked.
Do you have another system to test this card? Like a friend with better cpu/psu to try your card?


Download this and post a screenshot of your score.

Did you try this? If download size is too much, try this. So we know your game settings is not affecting the results.

Also do this:

1661382722880.png



Trying changing game settings in RDR2 which are cpu heavy while keeping gpu in ultra.
for example: shadow distance, particle quality, water reflection....

use Vulkan in advanced graphics.

1661384469131.png


That's what you should get with i7 8700k and 3060 on 1080p Ultra.
That's a tiny bit better CPU with a bit lower gpu:


Notice his tessellation quality is high, not ultra.

That's reassuring. Cpu temp is 64.
Required PSU for 3060Ti is 600w (choose specs, view full specs), so it's probably you're psu bottlenecked.
Do you have another system to test this card? Like a friend with better cpu/psu to try your card?
My psu is below recommened it might be the problem not always giving steady power. I will test it with a friend system.
Did you try this? If download size is too much, try this. So we know your game settings is not affecting the results.
You figure it out my internet connection is not powerful. I downloaded it and it passed 60fps on 1080p on 1000 preset and gave me 3360.
I will choose it on dragon center.
I found it on recomended and changed it now.

This card seems close to my card. Now it worked , I wish if I got 3060 gaming x for the better temp It was on the shelf.

Download this one actually instead of Kombustor, we can compare scores:

@ALAA12
I used it 167fps on 1080p.

3060ti > 3060, just undervolt it in afterburner and tweak your fan curve so it runs at a higher speed.

Right now wondering about your power supply.

Read dead redemption ultra v-sync on 60fps.
I fixed both fans to 85 so the temp is 66 to 71 max.
I Undervolt it to
906 to avrage 1920
+150 core clock
Found this on youtube , someone has the same as my card 3060ti.

you can't just undervolt it and that's it, sure it will get cooler if you kneecap the gpu. You have to see before and after each change what it's doing

If it gets unstable, raise the voltage a bit. Undervolting is very trial and error.

Absolutely disgree.
It's a great quality brand and I use it and love it.

EK charges more because it guarantees if leak happens, it replaces your PC parts.

If you're careful with Bykski, it gives outstanding temps.
I get 55° on 4k with Forza in a non-airconditioned room where my coolant is 38°


@ALAA12 your temps are ok. I don't know why you're not buying a monitor/PSU/Xbox controller...

@ALAA12
Watercooling needs a lot of other stuff: pump, reservoir, fasteners, radiator, tubes.

You can't just buy a gpu block and call it a day.

Today , I bought 3060 ti 2x ventus , but it is really underperformed 36 to 40 fps in red dead redemption 2 on 1080p ultra settings or even high. iron harvest even on low settings I get 37 fps. In red dead redemption tells me it is 99% but 37 fps or 40 and the tempreature is so high it reaches 78 in cyperbunk or red dead redemption.

Is it because of the cpu I7 8700? Or is it because of the psu 500 antec? Or is it because of the tempreature?
Hi,
Vanilla 3060ti think minimal psu is 600w

I'd be more cautious about where he's buying from than brand.

Sorry you did what?


None of that makes sense, and it's not what you need to be doing

Set a proper undervolt curve, which sure as heck doesnt use the + values
