awesome bud, so very happy you enjoyed it and found it beneficial and congrats my friend, slowly but surely supply is coming back, finally haha.

[@lockdot2]

I just ordered one of these today! Can't wait to game at more then 10fps with decent graphics. I have a 750ti with a memory problem, so this will be a great upgrade.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Yeah, you will get MUCH better FPS over the 750TI, congrats my friend.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

bought it I assume, you can get them at stores, its just hard to find sometimes.

[@lockdot2]

​@@ThisBytesForYou I did! It's been doing really well! Since 9 months ago, I been using it in my Optiplex, and just today was able to get the side panel on. I had to use a PCIE extender to be able to plug the gpu in. The front USB plug was in the way, but that fixed it. Then I had a problem putting the side panel on, due to the 8 pin connector was out too far. So, just today I cut a hole in the door to close it. I must say though, it runs HOT with the panel on. The 3060 manages to get up to 89C under load. (Which is the max temp limit for this gpu, you can set in MSI Afterburner). And the cpu temp gets to 90C. It is a i7 3770. I think the fans are clogged from dust, since it's been 3 inches from the ground with the door open for the last 9 months. I need to take it apart to see though, since the gpu is in there somewhat permanently. The CPU cooler has also been needing a good cleaning. This is the most awesome Optiplex I have seen before lol. It has 32gb ddr3, a rtx 3060, and a i7 3770, with a ssd. And with the side panel on, it doens't look like it's worth more then any other cheap old Optiplex.

So, how much do you love this card.

[@takata98]

@@ThisBytesForYou As a person who has never built a computer before, your video's were an invaluable step by step how to. I had a perfect build with no errors. I'm sure many people can likewise attribute their success to your concise how to video's. It's greatly appreciated your replies and interactions connect you with your subscribers. With regards to the card... I like it very much! it's a big step up from my Asus GT730 on my Samsung UHD monitor. The rendering and textures are amazing. Perhaps the one thing I greatly appreciate about your take on this card is the positive reaction to the quality, where as others have reviewed it in disparaging terms, sadly some have nothing good to say about it It fills a very interesting niche, especially for those of us who just needed a GPU (ANY GPU!) I was trying for a 3070 FTW. The RTX3060 came along first and was a compromise and for my needs was more than adequate. I overbuilt and need to learn how to get more out of my system. Cooler Master H500 RGB case with 3x200mm fans, Asus 590 Wi Fi Pro, Ryzen 5-3600. 500 GB M2 with Master Air MA620M cooler. 32gb HyperX pro RAM. Plus the RTX 3060 So far the temps have been well below 40! and I had to run your fan test to see if mine actually worked. A great thumbs up for what you do here on KZbin.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@takata98 Thanks my friend, I really do appreciate it. Sadly, many of us out here like to just bash things, it get's lot of views and comments, but it's not what I am looking for. I would love all the views, but not just because I am talking trash about the product, the product may have flaws, and I feel like i go over them, but in a constructive manner, no need to bash. I take each product I get as a new product, something new to all and put it through its paces, give you what I find, let, my opinions, and let you make the determination if its right for you, or you should skip it, I don't want to think for you, so I really do appreciate it, and the fact that not only you said thank you, which alone means a ton, but you broke down everything I helped you with, why it helped you and you recommended my work to other people, that means so much to me, thank you my friend. I found the performance great, for it's intended price, as well as thermals. You coming from a GT730, it was like night and day for sure for you my friend, that is a TREMENDOUS upgrade, congrats, but there is nothing wrong with overbuilding, in my opinion. Sure, it might be too much for you today.... but if you bought exactly what you needed today, then tomorrow you have to upgrade and it would cost you so much more, my 2 cents at least. Your build kind of sounds like a mix of my $1,500 build, and my over the top gaming build kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5jKaapud616pNU let me know what you think, and thanks again so much my friend.

well thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate your kind words and support, it means a ton to me.

So, I learned everything on my own, everything, and it was expensive and I broke a lot. So years later, KZbin came out, and people were showing similar, but they would skip over a lot of important stuff and speak techno babble, which would scare off people so I decided to make easy to follow guides, trying not to skip anything and it seems to be paying off, slowly, but its working it seems, I am helping many people and it feels good.

[@KG-1]

So I substantially followed the guide, with a few changes, and am up and running fine with the new card. It's striking how much smaller RTX 3060 ti xc is compared to my old RTX 2060. Running Windows 10 Pro, 22H2 on Ryzen 7, 3800x. Despite all the Debby Downer on the 3060 ti from a lot of quarters it was the right choice/price for a mid-life graphics card change on a 4 year old computer - that still does a good job on the games I play and functions I need. As Ellsworth in Deadwood: "Experience hard come by, but thoroughly learnt" on making sure graphics card is matched to motherboard. Killed my old Sandy Bridge-E motherboard during Covid after going from 2 to 6 gig with gpu change, then playing games that were it turned out at the edge of the system's abilities. My slight changes: 1. The PIN worked fine dealing with "Safe Mode". 2. To get to Safe Mode, I went Start - Settings - Update & Security - Advanced Start up Options. 3. This brought up Troubleshoot, clicked on that, then Advanced Options, Startup Settings, then clicked restart, once the machine started up, picked and pressed F4 for "Enable Safe Mode". 4. That brought up "Enter PIN", entered it and was operating in Safe Mode. In the DDU first time dialog, to be safe, I unchecked the INTEL Specific Options box also. Rest of it per video: unchecked the AMD Specific Options, and the Windows picks drivers prevention at the bottom. Used the swap as opportunity use my new hand vacuum/blower to blow and vacuum clean inside, the little PeroBuno $70 one on Amazon. Quite worth it.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

awesome bud, happy I could help, The 3060, be it the TI or non TI are great cards, for sure. As for the changes, its understandable, this is a 3 year old video, so a change for sure is unavoidable, glad you were able to get it, as for the PIN, that's nice. It used to be that even though the pin allowed you to get into windows, it didn't in Safe mode, then caused others issues when trying to get back into regular windows mode, glad MS finally fixed that. NIce about the PeroBuno, I use the Xpower, I have had it for years and it still works great, if you want to check out the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6nSd56uhJKFmdE So what did you think about the PerBuno, is it powerful and do the batteries drain quick? You mention its a vacuum too, the Xpower is just a blower, does it vaccum well?

[@KG-1]

@@ThisBytesForYou PeroBuno can vacuum and blow. 3 speeds. Vacuum didn't get as much as I wanted on the CPU, but the blower served the purpose. Very good attachments I think. Battery life can't tell on, but it's easy to charge. When I went to Windows 10 about a year before Windows 7 support ended, the PIN was enforced on me, even though I had a password. Seems like it superseded the password function at least in my case.

Thanks bro. One thing i wana ask is it necessary to enter safe mood to start DDU? Can we start it in normal window mood?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

it is highly recommended because during regular windows mode, windows is using those drivers, so its hard for the OS to let go of some of those files, which is why and how a lot of issues occur. It can't remove them while be used, and can't install over them either while being used so you end up using several different driver version, because you didn't want to restart your system and use DDU to save a few seconds.

A 3060 will be great, anything higher would be good too, as long as you are not gaming of course. If you are gaming, you would want a 3080 or a 3090, maybe the 40 series coming up soon.

[@bimmerM3]

@@ThisBytesForYou this rtx 3060 is abit pricey for me, any other recommendation that is a bit cheaper?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

well you could go with the 3050, but that will drop performance even more, what is more performance today, will be less performance tomorrow, as the PC ages, your components will seem less powerful, so the 3060 is what I would recommend. Custom PC's are not cheap and 4K is not an entry level resolution.

Just got myself an EVGA RTX 3060 ti XC, upgrading from a sapphire pulse RX 56

[@ThisBytesForYou]

VERY nice upgrade my friend

Hello Im doing a fresh install for a 3060 in a all Brand new pc I built, do I need to do all this process of removing the drivers? Ryzen 7 with integrated graphics.

It keeps saying that I don't have a video card but when I power it the display ports don't have any outputs

[@ThisBytesForYou]

So that I can help, please list the manufacturer and exact model number of the following components: 1. Motherboard - manufacturer and exact model number 2. CPU - manufacturer and exact model number 3. RAM - manufacturer and exact model number 4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number 5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number 6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number 7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply? 8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters? 9. UEFI in the BIOS from Legacy. If it was set to Legacy, you will need to reinstall windows to get correct support. 10. Disable CSM in the BIOS

[@fredlucas1292]

@ThisBytesForYou I have a GIGABYTE A520M DS3H, Ryzon 5 5600, corsair vengeance pro ram (16 gb) msi GeForce rtx 3060, not sure about power supply but it's a 750 Watt, monitor is just my Vizio smart TV, the card has one PCI port and all 8 pins are plugged in, running the HDMI port, legacy is already not turned on, and I'm not sure about the last one. When I do get it to display, the driver update makes both outputs (card and motherboard) have no signal

[@fredlucas1292]

@ThisBytesForYou idk if it matters but I have windows 11

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@fredlucas1292 your TV could be the problem, not all TV's will work properly as monitors due to latency, also the cable, if its not HDMI 2.1, it may not work properly, unless its written on the cable, there is know way to know for sure, other than buying a new one. Also, see if this driver helps: www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownloads/confirmation.php?url=/Windows/528.49/528.49-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe&lang=us&type=TITAN

hello, i was wondering if i needed to uninstall any drivers if i was just booting off of integrated graphics?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

I go over this in the video, but no you don't, if you like to have potential issues, if you want the best performance and least amount of issues, you DDU

[@Ricolific]

Does this card light up when it’s on? Cause mine doesn’t, and LED Sync doesn’t seem to work

[@ThisBytesForYou]

sadly no it does not but you can see the video and it will show you.

[@crwth1337]

I didn't do any of these since my gtx 760. I always just poped in the new gpu, without an issue, and windows/nvidia did the work. This is obviously not recommended but I had a gtx 960, a gtx 980, and hopefully a 3060 shortly, and I've never had trouble with this. Thanks for the tutorial tho!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

most of the time you will not face an issue, but when you install an updated driver, it could cause corruption then cause issues in games and overall windows utilization, then you get a new card and that corruption goes over to the new card, because the card is using those drivers. Then also, uninstallers don't always work well, then when you reinstall, many times the driver will not overwrite the file, so you have several different files for different driver versions which causes tons of issues. Very happy its worked for you as it is. You may notice a performance increase using this method though. And always happy to help.

[@crwth1337]

@@ThisBytesForYou Okay, thank you very much, I learned something today! When I will have my new gpu I will definitely do this, maybe reinstall cpu drivers too, or whole windows, since I upgraded my whole pc. Thanks for the video again!

Accidentally uninstalled drivers then took out card now screens black. Some website told me to do it this way

[@ThisBytesForYou]

thats ok if you do it that way but you need to have a card in there to see any video. If you put a card in, and you turn on the machine without the drivers, that is just about the same thing as I mention here, the screen will not go blank unless you dont have the HDMI or DP cable correctly seated, or you dont have the PCIE cable connected.

[@ProfessionalExp]

@@ThisBytesForYou yeah i tried my cmos and everything so im guessing my psu doesn't have enough power it's a 650 bronze so will be buying a better one soon

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@ProfessionalExp thats enough power, but what connection are you using, DP or HDMI?

[@ProfessionalExp]

@@ThisBytesForYou i tried both on both monitors keeps saying no signal

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@ProfessionalExp ​ check your connection, remove the card, reseat the card, firmly, the put in the PCIE 8Pin connection (make sure its not EPS) and then plug in your monitor and see if it works. The card only requires a 550Watt PSU.

This video is super helpful, thanks for taking the time to do it! I did have two questions - I am about to install an my Geforce RTX 3060 by Aorus. I only had a integrated GPU and not an original video card - do I still need to uninstall drivers first? And secondly, my card has an 8 pin and a 6 pin connection - are those for two separate cables or a single cable that has the pig tail with two ends on one side? Thanks again and extra thanks if you find time to answer these!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

yes 2 both, I go over it in the video

@@joshbruins1861 actually, i missed the Aorus part, this one only had 1 connection, yours has 2, so yes, they would be 2 separate cables, do not use daisy chained cables.
