You are saying EVGA gpus are "garbage"? You'd pretty much be alone in that opinion. Their product and customer support is always rated among the very best. What makes you think that? |

I've had all kinds of GPUs over the years.
I currently have an EVGA and zero complaints so far *knocks on wood." I had an MSI card before this EVGA and it had a major DX12 issue with Battlefield 1 at the time (known MSI issue with that game in that setting). It also had some other minor G-Sync issues but was fine overall. |

Thanks for all of the input.
Are the 3 fan versions of the 3060 worth the extra $100 (or more) cost compared to the 2 fans? I'm going to start another thread later about the rest of his component list to get more input. I don't want to hijack this thread. |

Up until this latest card I got, a Power Color Vega 56, I've almost always run two fan GPUs with absolutely no issues. |

Received this email today from a stock bot I signed up for to alert me to 30xx cards as they come available. I’m not looking for a 3090, hopefully it’s a sign more cards are coming?

$2,279.99?
Well, I was saving up for a first vehicle for my daughter. I'm sure she'll be fine with a bike... |

That is no shit! I’m getting ready to buy my high school son his first car from a family member. Hyundai Sonata Limited. Nice little car. Paying $6k for it. You hit it on the head. This goddamned gpu costs damn near half as much as a frigging car.

Might have found the GPU I am going to go after instead of a 3060 Ti

Seen some really good benchmarks from the Radeon 6800s. But I've also seen some scary stories of drivers not working worth a shit, and performance close to the GeForce cards with half the RAM. The Radeon card apparently suck at ray tracing right now too.
AMD RX 6800 XT runs at almost half the frame rate of Nvidia's RTX 3080 in Vulkan Ray Tracing tests Still too early for me to jump on the Radeon wagon considering the prices they're asking. |
