The editors didn't like
Limited headroom for overclocking
Didn't see any option for RGB
Pricing unlikely to hold for more than a few hours
Probably not enough stock to satisfy demand
Cooler too loud
Gains over last generation smaller than for other Ampere cards
Power limit not increased
1440p gaming often requires visual tweaks to hit 60fps
Slightly more performance
Slightly less price vs. last gen
MSRP is higher than we'd like
Hard to find at MSRP in today's wild GPU market
No backplate or other frills in EVGA's XC Black Gaming
Nontrivial performance drop versus the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Minor gains over previous (RTX 2060) generation
Pricey for its performance class
Doesn't need 12GB RAM
Not good for crypto mining
RTX 3060 Ti is the better choice
No RGB lighting
Not as big of a performance increase over the previous generation as other 30-series cards

GeForce RTX 3060 cards will be going on sale at 9:00AM PST / 12:00PM EST today, at MSRPs starting at $329. Though, in the current climate, with ongoing supply chain constraints, and plenty of pent up demand for GPUs, you can expect street pricing to be hi...
While I had hoped that the product would be a tad more silent, I do like it. It's priced a notch too high for my taste though. Then again perhaps the backplate and 1882 MHz Boost frequency are worth the extra 60 bucks to you. Likely most people will not c...

Any way you look at it, this is another graphics card launch during the absolute worst time in history to buy a graphics card. Argument over price/performance has become irrelevant. The best card is simply the one you can find in stock, at something close...

According to EVGA, the RTX 3060 XC has an MSRP of $389. At current market conditions, we expect it will sell for at least $450. 20% faster than RTX 2060 Faster than RTX 2070 Good temperatures Overclocked out of the box Efficient 12 GB VRAM Idle fan stop...
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 well be able to be purchased today (February 25th, 2021) at 6am PT / 1pm GMT and pricing will start at $329. There is no Founder Edition model to purchase, but there will be plenty of third party add-in-boards from manufacturer...
Unfortunately, we are facing two pandemics - the COVID-19 pandemic and the Cryptocurrency Pandemic - both of which have made it very difficult for gamers to find any new cards at all - and pricing is way up primarily because of the mining demand. If the...

Suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming, EVGA's XC Black Gaming 12G version of the GeForce RTX 3060 is an able performer, though Nvidia's own RTX 3060 Ti outshines it on value...
NVIDIA's bold choice of words for the RTX 3060 marketing campaign touting two times the performance of the GTX 1060 is admirable and generally is something I inherently distrust until the product is in my hands, tested, and validated. Product marketing is...
