sorted byTypical nVidia marketing… really should have been called a 3050 Ti… (edited)
8GB won't even be enough at 1080p with a lot of newer games, and this will only get worse as ports from this generation of consoles come.
You shouldn't have to sacrifice quality, and settle for Xbox 360 era texture resolution because Nvidia and AMD are taking everyone for mugs.
For example 282 with code. (edited)
Will i get much benefit from forking out 239 for this and selling my 2060 for 150 maybe? Or is it going to be minimal if anything?
Thanks in advance ! (edited)
Your 2060 is also most likely a 256bit bus, whereas this 3060 is 128bit.
If you want to snag an actual decent deal, have a look at the 12GB MSI 3060 or get an RX 6650XT, you'll thank yourself later. ebay.co.uk/itm…uZh
Things are only going to get worse, especially now that we're finally moving beyong the PS4/Xbone and developers can fully focus on the new consoles. It would be madness to buy a higher-end 8GB card at this point IMO.
Considering the 1060 6GB and 1080p monitors are still by far the biggest playerbase on PC, it's highly unlikely that a 12GB 3060 is gonna be the bare minimum required anytime soon.
If you're wanting to play everything on maxed out settings for whatever reason, then that's on you if you need more than 8GB. Many many many optimisation guides even for the latest AAA releases show very little difference between low and high textures, as an example, on most games. You'd need a 4k monitor and spend more time looking at geometry than actually playing the game to notice, and if you have a 4k monitor then you won't have an 8GB 3060 in the first place.
At 1440p most games sit at 5-6GB vRAM usage for me. The only issues I've had recently are the Diablo 4 beta and it's memory leak issues, but that also affects people with a 24GB 3090.
Basically, all games will be fine if you adjust settings accordingly, as has been the case with PC gaming since it's very inception.
Is it worth it? I had a 1660 super and sold it for £350 when prices went crazy and I've just watched a 1660 super sell on ebay for £111 so Id have to say if you want a new card maybe its not a bad deal compared to the 1660 super prices but if you can go out and pick up a second hand 1660 super for £111 why would you pay over a hundred pounds more for maybe a 10% uplift in performance. I think this one will be going on ebay when the a770 arrives.
The 3060 8GB isn’t a bad card tbh, it’s just overpriced (imo) and poorly named by nVidia to try and con buyers - 3050 Ti was the better name but we know that would mean it sells for less and pushes the 3050 pricing down so they’d never do it.
Look at my personal circumstances though, Im currently running a GTX 980, upgrading to a 1070 would give me a roughly 25% uplift in performance and although finding a 3dmark score for timespy for the3060 8gb is a little difficult you can expect an uplift from upgrading to the 3060 over the 1070 of another 10 to 20%. I have gone for the a770 for £50 more on the amazon deal but that deal has now gone. If like me your budget is limited and you dont want to run the second hand card lottery you could sell your old card - for me that's somewhere between £50 and £80 and get a (optimistic) 50% upgrade in performance for £150 to £180.
Admittedly thats not great but its still 50
Also.. are cards like this likely to get cheaper still? I'm still holding off building my next pc.. but should i pounce on one of these GPU deals now or wait? (edited)
