I have this exact card in my secondary PC and honestly it's one of the best cards I've ever owned.

[@alexmaine2922]

What about cooling system, how good is it? Cus some ppl say it’s good, some ppl day it’s bad, so gimme your personal opinion on it.

[@sarifpanda06]

Bro tell me the performance and max temp. of Asus rtx3060 dual oc v2 LHR 12gb play AAA heavy games? And Asus graphic card has shorter lifespan compared to gigabyte or other brand? Pls reply 🙏🏻

[@prodbylukee]

@@sarifpanda06 you can undervolt the coreclock and boost memory and you'll almost never go over 70 degrees, without losing performance, even in AAA titles. and even if you leave everything at stock, with good cooling and a decent case, the temperatures are absolutely fine.

[@Pankajworksout]

I have this card for the past 1 years and the loading time of most games is too long ,I don't know what's the issue

[@marknewellmusic]

​​@@alexmaine2922I had the Gigabyte 3060 with the 3 fan cooling system on it and for the 3060 card, 3 fans is overkill cooling - 2 fan is perfect for rtx 3060 cooling, but a 3 fan 3060 is so good at cooling, that the temps stay low all the time eg 3060 3 fan at idle usage put the fans at STOP until the card gets over 50⁰c and not using the card means it stays around 46⁰c and takes ages to creep up to 50⁰c which is when the fans start but only very low rpm. 3060 3 fan is the perfect silent card and even in normal or stress usage, the fans run but aren't loud and temps stay around 60⁰c on a 3 fan 3060. I just sold my Gigabyte 3 fan 3060 V1 12GB card as Gigabyte 3000 series rtx cards have an issue with circuit running near to PCI Express braclet slot key so are kinda a ticking time bomb tbh... I've seen lots of talk and evidence of the better, heavier Gigabyte 3000 rtx cards cracking eg 3080 3090 due to this design flaw but have found NO evidence of any 3060 Gigabyte rtx cards failing this way - I just didn't want to risk having mine fail a year or 2 later with the issue. I think the Gigabyte 3 fan 3000 cards are at risk but only the 3070(?) 3080 and 3090 cards. I really couldn't see the circuit traces on my 3060 card to be honest.

[@Carniex]

I was checking a local store and with the pricing announced by nvidia on the 4060, they dropped prices on lots of 3060. The Asus 3060 KO model is almost same price as this dual card. Although it is a lot thicker.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

I got a white one and I absolutely love it its a beast especially with 12gb!!

[@johnnydied9563]

Sheesh prices lowered a lot it was like $299.99USD, last time I checked.

[@david8157]

Do you have videos about changing a CPU? I want to replace my i3-4170 with an i7-4790K. I am also upgrading the memory and GPU - going to get this card on your review. If you dont have videos yourself maybe you can recommend something.

[@Rains_Of_Joy]

Just got the single fan 3060 coming from a 1080 ti big improvement I’m happy for it.

[@niravelniflheim1858]

Really helpful, thank you. I was considering the Ti version, but I need the 12GB VRAM more, so, this is the one.

[@marknewellmusic]

Rtx 3060 overclocks very well (mainly oc the memory more than the gpu to get more frames). You can get close to next card up with 3060 overclock, especially on the 3 fan 3060 cards.

[@choppergirl]

So basically, wprse than a 2080 equivallnt, right? I mostly care about NVENC encoding speed.

[@mendelianx3502]

Well it is now at 300 $. Seems a more reasonable price. But still you can get a RX 6650 XT for a cheaper price.

go for 4070 at least, dont buy those asus 2 fan models, overheating, i'm reaching 90° with this model..

Great analysis👍

[@ZephrusPrime]

Will a 500 watt work with this card?

[@UrowskyUrowsky]

I'd say maybe. I use a 2060 oc from Asus and an i5 11400f on a 400w psu and I have no issues at all. No overheating nor anything. So I guess you are good at most part.

[@SteamBoys199]

​@@UrowskyUrowsky Hes not buying a whole New Cpu and Graphics card for a 400W

Im useing a 800W rn and It runs perfectly I recommend Going 600W or higher Plus the Wattage is low on this graphics card even when its at 7501 MHz Memory Clock 2012 MHZ, I think the highest was 150 last i saw Only on forza horizon

[@marknewellmusic]

Yes

[@dialgapalkia7978]

is it still good in 2024?

[@thatoneguy1532]

Yeah, I would say I got mine not too long ago. I can handle max settings really well, depending on the game. For sons of the forest , I get around 70 fps max Rainbow is around 120 fps Fortnite is 200-300 ish range Ready or not, max settings 70 fps Unfortunately, that's like the only games I play.

this gpu runs very hot on some games

[@marknewellmusic]

It shouldn't do. Check all temps with MSI Afterburner to see if it's the gpu, the vram, or the memory hotspot getting toasty

[@carlosramon2224]

Is it possible to change the color of the light with some program?

[@MSI6728]

Nope. Got an Asus AMD 6500 XT with the exactly same fan design. It's merely a gimmick, a cosmetic thing... 🙂

Now wait for the 4060 and 4060ti reviews before buying this.

[@OilFreeFeathers]

they stink

​@@OilFreeFeathersYep
