Amazing price for amazing card. Btw. Anyone noticed weak performance/watt ratio? It is worse than 3080 rtx. And almost 30% less efficient than radeon 6800.

I dont think Nvidia was under any pressure to come out with a killer bang for the buck card. Whatever they came out with would quickly be scalped, sold out or otherwise unavailable. Same thing will happen to AMDs upcoming rx6700/xt cards.

you guys can bitch all you want but the card is geared towards 1060 users .if you can find one(or any card)at msrp its a great up grade.

I don't get the "Top pick" award??? How can it be, when inside the conclusion You wrote that the price of 470+ is unjustifiable for xx60 product! Every reviewer should trash these cards as they are nowhere near the Nvidias 329 msrp. Like wtf? Top pick! 😀 Bitch please!

the on;ly thing reviewers should trash is their own sponsors by marking the cards up so high. think they would have done that by now but they of coarse never would get on newegg or other on line retailers so show me that guy linix or the dick at gn say that, that's the real problem here its big retailers not ebay

That card is at best 329usd value. If you remember correctly GTX1060 price was 249usd (FE only was 279 or something). GTX1060 buyers are all sub 300 dollar users. This is 330usd. +50usd markup and that is considering inflation. But the review sample was 460+ usd. And official AIB price 😀 At that price there should have been only one conclusion- do not buy! Not top pick! 😀 What joke.

You seem to be completely oblivious to the covid tax. You cant even get a 1060 6gb for anything near sensible. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1660-OC/dp/B07PBLDV3D/

that is not the whole story. computerbase and pcgh tested only games that show performance increase,but in fact amd does not use profiles for SAM,and there are many games that have negative performance impact.It's a noticeable performance increase in a well prepared review,but realistically,amd are leaving it all up to the user to test everything themselves. second of all,no wonder 6800xt shows bigger gains,SAM shows best improvements when in cpu limited scenearios as you can clearly see (well,you don't).This would need to be 6800xt vs 3080.3060 just doesn't need it when paired with a good cpu,for 6800xt the cpu will start to bottleneck an that's where sam helps. this is really poor how people take their news from twitter and YT headlines these days.

All 3060 cards should be revoked from having the "guru3d recommended" badge at the end of each review. Surely I won't ever recommend those 3060 to anyone. Price/consumption/performance ratio is unhealthy almost suicidal.

This! The RTX 3060 is bad in terms of gaming value, at MSRP it'd not be half bad, but at the present crazy asking price, at least here in my neck of the woods, it's baaaaaad! 🙁
