@@phoenixrising4995 I honestly contemplated the Intel 750/70 series before getting the 6700 myself.

Though much better, I needed to be able to reliably keep stability. I am looking at a 700 series for my basement gaming PC though, but I may just swap out the 5600 xt I replaced (because it wasn't reliable enough because MSI did not directly cool the Memory on the unit I bought, instead used a sandwich plate of heatpad, plate, another pad, cooler.... it was not good as the memory would over heat and crash.)

[@KuntalGhosh]

[@psilobom]

The 3060 is a great option if you're doing video/3D rendering, modeling, as well as AI/ML programs. Most workstation software is built around Nvidia tech and the AMD cards tend to have compatibility problems. That said if you're buying a gpu to game, the AMD cards are the way to go. The 3060 (now available for $280 USD) would make a fantastic card for people wanting to build a workstation PC on a budget.

[@eggtarts286]

^ This. because Nvidia's cuda cores still top the charts for AI use and content creation and these are both vram gated, the 3060 12GB will remain a solid budget performer for these uses. On the other hand, there are AMD and Intel options that smack the 3060 12GB up now at the same price without compromising on that vram (though Intel's support is still so niche it's just a toy at the moment). The winner in this case is just not as clear cut as the video maker makes it out to be. As a price sensitive consumer, I'd jump on team Red or Blue the moment either outperforms Nvidia in content creation for less buck. But that's still one or two generations away, so for now I'm stuck with abusive partner Nvidia. In the meantime, the rtx3060's performance is not so bad that it makes life not worth living. Although whoever came up with the 8gb version really should be hung, drawn, and quartered...

This is the most copium Nvidia fanboy comment i've seen. Their "technology" is made just to give the false sense that the product is better than it actually is by giving you fake frames to boost up that sweet, sweet framerate number, while crippling the amount of VRAM and its memory bit bus. The application argument is also complete bogus, you have clearly not used the AMD Adrenalin control panel before, there's way more features there for things like overclocking, while Nvidia is still on their oudated 2000's looking control panel. Also, i really don't understand why you are mentioning DLSS 3, if the talk is about 3060, which only supports DLSS 2 and has maybe 5% less rasterized performance than a 4060, while costing at least a $100-$150 less than a 4060.

I had used a RX 6700 XT for over a year. Experienced continuous black screens and constantly rolling back and updating drivers to keep stable. Having now a RTX 3060 TI has been a breath of fresh air. No more random crashes and much more smoother performance.

[@Murkzilla04]

Same for me that’s the big problem with amd, yea it’s good for price to performance but the big problem is drivers the random crashes, black screens and just shitty driver updates would make me want to pull my hair out, but now that I got a RTX 4080 it’s just so much better with just stability and reliability.

I know prices have changed in late June 23. But way did you not talk about the ram...the RX 6600 or 6650 both have 8g but the RTX 3060 comes both a 8g and 12g model. The 12 g is better. RX 6700 is a better deal these days if you can find one.

[@yourbluewaffle]

For used bargains, the 5700xt regularly goes for under 200$ shipped from China. It doesn't perform that much worse compared to the 6600xt. For an even more budget option, there's the 5700 non xt which can be flashed to the xt bios to squeeze out a big more performance.

[@s_tapnoob]

In finland rtx 3060 12gb is about 280 euros

[@siyzerix]

I believe you miss a few points. The rtx 3060's popularity is likely due to the fact it might be cheaper than the rx6650xt in several markets. For instance in some asian markets the 3060 is cheaper than the rx6600xt. The 3060ti might be cheaper than the 6700xt, etc. Also, OEM's might pair nvidia cards into their prebuilts more than AMD so thats another margin where nvidia would win. Its not as easy as ''AMD is cheaper" because AMD tends to generally be cheaper in only a few markets. NOT in every market. And the top 2 cards on steam, the 1060 and 1650, had plenty of sales on laptops too, a market AMD completely sucks and is absent in meaning their share is even lower by that. To sum up, AMD is only competitive in DIY markets. They fail in the professional market (nvidia has better productivity), fail in the laptop market and fail in the pre built market on GPU's. Why do you think nvidia outsells AMD by such a large margin?

[@av8r195]

yeah u left the fact that those prices are for US markets. there are other markets with different prices. in my country the regular RX6600XT is on avg more expensive than the 3060 12 gbs. go figure. so dont listen to this guy right away check ur local prices first

Only problem here is that 3060 comes with 12 gb ram also, whereas the 6650xt only comes with 8. But that difference counts if you plan to game on 1440p, which the 3060 is perfectly capable on doing in the 12gb variant.

I think the 3060 is literally the only Nvidia card that matters at this point 🤣🤣 I could get the 3060 for 305€ and the RX 6650XT for 245€ with Starfield tho so even then I'd go for the RX 6650XT

Agreed, though unfortunately for this price point you're required to purchase the 3x fan. The vast majority of 2x fan 6650 are $350++, and now the 3060 is $250. Not only that, but I think the majority of 3060 purchasers are similar to myself, and needing something with the smallest form factor possible, and the 3060 is available in the single fan variant. Trust me, I really, really want to support AMD over NVIDIA like the entirety of humanity, but I need a mini GPU, and as of now, the 3060 is the best bang for your buck with the mini gpus. Please tell me you know something that I don't tho? Is there a different single md1 md2/ single fan option in this price point, that has similar performance?

[@jdquadrider]

[@nickochioneantony9288]

I guess you won't find any radeon GPU with single fan config (as of now), but that's very specific... 2 fan config is where mini build still use. Have you seen the Asrock Challenger for RX 6650 xt or Sapphire 7600? both of them have a relatively small form factor.

Since I'm more familiar Nvidia I plan on staying with their products, but I can see if someone wants to save a bit of change they have other options for similar to a bit better performance. I recently found a 3060 12 GB for $300, not so much as to call it cheap but considering it was new and 30% off I just had to bite the bullet and snag one. Mainly considering ive been using a 1060 3GB for a LONG time now, like 6-8 years or so I just had to finally upgrade cause all the games I like or want to play require a minimum of a 4+ GB graphics card. I have yet to get it yet as it should arrive in the next 4 days or so, but I'm absolutely stoked to get it and cant wait to not be forced to play games with all settings on off or low and look like pixels or garbage with very spotty or all around low FPS.

[@christine-kht]

How did the upgrade go? I also use a 1060 and understand that an update might be a good idea :D Worth the penny?

[@auminne8500]

@@christine-kht I mean depending on financial situations (though mine isnt the best) I would say it was pretty worth it, I can play pretty much every game I have on max quality and still be above 60 FPS. Even games like cyberpunk I can max the quality on, although I do still need to use DLSS for it to be above 60 FPS but DLSS is awesome anyways so its not a downside imo. I would highly recommend someone who is looking into upgrading their graphics card to get a 3060 cause it definitely worth the $300 I paid for it. I looked recently and some like the MSI 3060 12gb one went down to ~$275. If someone has the spare money to get one I would highly recommend.

The NVidia has ray tracing... it also has 12gb of Vram.... Almost double that of the cheaper one. A quick KZbin comparison video shows that the NVidia performs great. Almost doubling fps in most games compared to a 1660 gtx, which also has no ray tracing, similar to the cheaper one on this video. (Also your sponsor looks super sketchy and i hope no one here actually gives them any personal information)

[@FoxRacingGaming]

@@ScrakSFMs I play a wide variety of games. The 1660 or any card with 6 to 8 gb of vram because as soon as expolsions start happening on screen or chaos or multiple things in gerner, where the 3060 has 12 gb of vram, so most of the time it doesnt even struggle. To buy a 1660 gtx oc , with multi monitor support, and vr, youd expect it to hand 1440 p, which it does well. Any games that have alot going on in a scence such as expolions tress blowing, all impact the vram. If you have 6, its gonna use it all, sometimes needing more, which is where the 8gb card comes in, but it pointless as you could just get the 12gb and not have to worry. Not to mention no need to change power supplies.

That's the target resolution of these cards.

The driver issue isn't really niche as you point out in this video...

Price to rasterization performance is a win here for Radeon no one disagrees with that, its been known for years in this price point that Radeon wins in many use cases. But FSR and DLSS are really non-comparable... FSR is a straight software solution will always be subpar when compared to DLSS, given DLSS is using Tensor cores to do all the heavy lifting... FSR has ruined many game experiences first example to come to mind is Jedi Survivor and the abysmal performance that is forced on the user.
