Questions & Answers

I'm attempting to squander as much cash as possible. I'm torn between buying this and setting $1000 in cash on fire; is it better to buy this?

If you intend to use it to heat your room, the answer is yes. Even more so in the case of a $1079 RTX 3060, these new cards are nearly efficient enough to make simply burning money more cost effective.

Are these prices being paid by the general public?

Ethereum coin miners will be ripped off if they are unaware that Nvidia has imposed a lhr limit on these cards. The only way to tell if the cards are mining quality is to look at the vbios provided by us; if you flash it, you'll be able to tell. My advice is to wait or look for a GPU that is more of an RTX 3070ti or a rx6900xt if you want to buy a good GPU on the cheap, as AMD's GPUs are currently rising in popularity as their CPUs begin to fall back to Intel levels. If you need a new GPU right now, buy one now; otherwise, wait for Nvidia's super lineups to arrive soon, as well as AMD's upcoming refresh by the end of the year.

What exactly is the reason for the exorbitant price?

$399 is the suggested retail price. The only reason these cards' prices are so high is because there are enough people willing to pay for them. If no one buys them, the price will fall over time. This is true for any and all video cards. Consumers should be able to make an informed decision if these sellers are required to display the MSRP on everything they sell.

What's the best way for me to get my hands on one of these?

Simple answer: you don't. Amazon isn't doing anything to combat bots, which means that even if you can put a product in your cart, you won't be able to get it because the bots beat you to it. It's humanly impossible to beat the bots to completing purchases on time; they do it in a fraction of a second, while we take over a minute and a half.

I lost $1000 because of a faulty graphics card
3/5

The item was faulty, and the return process was a complete waste of time.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the additional 12 gigabytes
5/5

The EVGA 3060 12GB was shipped. The box had not been opened, and the graphics card appeared to be in perfect condition upon inspection. I hate that I'm contributing to the problem by purchasing this, but how could I refuse a government-funded upgrade?.

For my build, this is fantastic! Shipping was very quick
4/5

Within two days, I received the card. For my build, this is perfect. Cpu- mb- Ryzen 5 3600 ryzen 5 3600 ryzen 5 3600 ryzen 5 3600 ry Gigabyte aorus elite x570, capable of 150 frames per second on high settings for warzone and cold war gaming. A gtx 1650 super has been replaced. Due to the price gouging, I deducted one star. Overall, this is a good gaming card.

When I first installed this GPU, I got a BSOD (dpc watchdog violation error) that I couldn't get out of, even after restoring to a previous point (due to the old NVIDIA driver still being present). Fortunately, I have my operating system and my actual data on two separate harddrives, so I was able to reinstall Windows 10 and get it up and running quickly; however, I noticed that the RTX 3060 was using some default Windows drivers for the GPU, which I discovered when I checked the drivers. Whenever I attempted to install the correct NVIDIA drivers, I received the same BSOD with the DPC watchdog violation error and had to restore my PC from a previous point. I spent a weekend looking for answers, but I came up empty-handed. I even tried installing every previous version of the required driver, but the problem persisted. br>br>As a result, this graphics card is essentially useless to me because it will not work in my build.

Beware if your build is similar to mine.

Teeny- For ATX builds, this is a small card
5/5

I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase this at MSRP. It's small and compact, and it comes with two batteries. It has a large slot size and is ideal for ITX builds. I used to have a triple-fan Strix card, which was much cooler and quieter, but this one is also quite nice. During the course of 10 minutes It reached a maximum temperature of 65°C during the Furmark test. It reached a maximum of 67°C while playing RDR2. Temperatures are hovering around 45°C during idle time. br>br>Only one criticism: when the fans are running, they are quite noisy. However, because this is one of the most affordable 3060 models on the market, noise levels are generally low. br>br>It's highly suggested.

It irritates me to no end
3/5

The received graphic cards do not work, and the seller must deduct a 15% restocking fee from the sale. It irritates me to no end.
