For some easier on the GPU gaming titles, Ultra HD as well. It does, however, offer performance levels in that RTX 2070 range, with the added benefit of 12 GB GDDR6 graphics memory included, and that I deem to be a sweet spot for the gamers that have a monitor with a resolution of up to 2560x1440. This means the (average) difference between the reference and fastest cards is roughly 2 maybe 4 FPS based on a 100 FPS average spread. Depending on resolution and game application, you'd can hit 3% or 4%. This however reveals a performance differential of roughly up to 2% on a spread of games at 2560x1440.

The above plot is a spread over five cards we have tested, NVIDIA did not release a reference product so the base RTX 3060 entry was simply downclocked to reference values. Realistically the GeForce RTX 3060 is a product series we can still recommend if the price is right 300 to 350 USD is steep for something with x060 in its name. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for this fact alone, absolutely would have my preference over the non-Ti mode, even with fewer graphics memory. We had hopes that NVIDIA would have enabled the full shader processor stack, they didn't, and as such sometimes we feel the performance to be a little dim for something at this price level. Overall I'd say the direct competitors are RTX 2070, and team Red's Radeon RX 5700 series are close in performance (though lacking DXR/DLSS/12GB). We do want to note that the performance fluctuated quite a bit per game title. The card series performance itself is decent, at best. For the 3060 NVIDIA did implement a restriction for miners, hopefully, it'll help. All these variables create a silly mix of shortages and raised prices. However, we have to face the fact that the world is a place with cryptocurrency miners hogging every GPU they can get their hands on, chip shortages, and COVID, increasing the demand for home PC gaming. If only the GeForce RTX 3060 could be purchased for the advertised 329 USD, it would be an attractive product.
