God, you're so real for this. I see so many people in PC communities say they are thinking of buying a console this gen because "they can play at 4k 60 fps" and the new GPUs are too expensive. But like the PS5 Xbox Series X are only about as powerful as a 2070 Super. An RTX 3060 is fully capable of playing games at 4k 60 "performance" or 4k 60 "quality" just like the consoles do. It is just for some reason getting 30 fps is unacceptable for PC but it is for a PS5? Sadly the 3060 is still over priced, but if you can find one for around $300 you can play all the latest games the consoles are playing.
There is no such a thing as “A gpu as powerful as B gpu”
Actually it has been proven that consoles like ps5 are equivalent to a Rtx 2060 super or weaker. Consoles Just have their Tricks Like 80% Render scaling fir example or a Mix If Low or medium graphics. The Rtx 3060 is Note powerful
@@Dennis_N. proven by who?
@@HardwareLab digital foundry in newer games ps5 gpu is as powerful as 2060 super and ps5 is using upscaling like fsr 2
actually most of the ps5 runs at 30 fps in 4k with drs, and the rtx 3060 already dropped the price to $260-$300 range
that is pretty impressive from rtx 3060 im sure it will handle all the new games on high 1080p in the next 5 years
Thank you for this informative analysis my man. I bought the 3060 from EVGA at the beginning of the year for $400 and it has been perfect for 1440p ultra in every game I've played and is a breeze for video and photo editing. I like how you explained how versatile this card is due to its full pcie interface and 12gb of vram. I think it will age fairly well especially with dlss 2.0 and possibly 3.0 support in the future.
Thank YOU for this comment! I just ordered the same thing for 300 from the b stock part of the Evga Store!
@@a_literal_crow brooo thats a deal i payed 600$ for mine
Can you edit photos in 4k HDR?
@@Gobama_prismG what about HDR10+
I am somewhat unusual as a gamer and prefer detail, quality and resolution over framerate. As long as I can get 30-40fps I'm happy. I'm seriously considering the 3060 along with a 38" 3840x1600 ultrawide. That resolution comes in at about 6.1 million pixels, so about 75% of true 4k. I think the 3060 would do the job for me.
Not really unusual
I am kinda like this as well in some games
I also prefer to play 4k ultra settings
I wish my 3060 ti had 12GB of vram.
I really feel that the 8GB of vram in the 3060 ti gimps the card.
Of course it did, Nvidia doesn’t want you to use the same low to mid end gpu for years. It’s planned obsolescence so you’re forced to buy a 5070 and probably spend as much as if you just bought a 3090 now.
@@joemarais7683 why then they didn’t apply the same strategy on 3060 non ti?
@@HardwareLab They had to since around the same time amd released rdna 2 cards, 3060 equivalent rdna 2 card (rx 6700 had 12 gb ram). Later they had to release 12 gb version of 3080 too. Fuch nvidia i hate that company. They'll only add enough vram when there is competition. Amd cards always age better. Imagine the differance in performance between someone who bought original 1060 which had 3gb vram vs someone else who bought rx 580 which has 8gb vram and they were around the same price if i remember correctly. Only reason they released 6gb version of 1060 was amd. Nvidia never changed...
@@HardwareLab 3060ti is much closer to 3070 than the 3060, as it is a cut down RTX 3070. 3060ti has 8 GB VRAM because it shares the same memory controller with the 3070, and 3070 has 8GB VRAM due to product segmentation and planned obsolescence just like RTX 3080 10GB. The reason 3060 can get 12 GB VRAM is that by the time RTX 3080 and 3070 gets bogged down at 1440p due to VRAM, 3060 will already be too weak to render above 1080, so the VRAM won't really make it last, thus it can have the precious "12GB memory" badge to attract sellers compared to AMD's 8GB cards such as RX 5700XT at launch, and RX 66xx series currently.
@@batuhanulku496 6700 is 3060 equivalent rdna2 card? Do I need even to start explaining what’s wrong with this statement?
Cool video, honestly I'm running my 3060 mostly at 1080p, I feel like it's a good card but it's still overpriced in my country, if I had money to spare I would eventually try to wait a good deal on a 6700 or 6700 XT that still have more than 8GB of vram (which can be useful as you said) and get enough performance for 1080p.
Also, one last thing, before my 3060 I had a 970 so I couldn't use DLSS properply of course but I wanted to say that there are some games where it's kinda strange how DLSS works, I even tried on The Witcher 3 next gen and it seems that even at best quality DLSS it feels like I'm shortsighted, really strange, that's why when it feels like this I try to run full native
Dlss/fsr/tsr/whatever else that is reconstructing to 4k from 1080p is still a lot better than native 1080p
@@HardwareLab probably yes, fact is that I'm using a 144Hz 1080p monitor
Any idea if this GPU is good enough for World of Warcraft at max settings? Looking for 60FPS in arena?
Great video showing off that the 3060 12GB can offer a base 4k experience in just about everything.
While its clear that settings have to be adjusted to provide solid stable game performance, with effort it's achievable.
I've got a ryzen 5800X with 32GB GSkill Ripjaws 3600 CL18 on an ASRock X570M Pro4
I don't know if it's useful to you but your r9 290x vs gtx 780ti was by far the most interesting video you did. Not for the benchmarks themselves but for slowly showing why the numbers are the way they are. So, in my opinion, if you can, you shuold try build your channel on broader arguments like you did on that video. Benchmarking gpus like this its a bit uninteresting. I think that the best you could do is teaching the things you know about gpus, graphic engines and limitations and problems of these technologies without detaching yourself from the practical applications and results that you and your viewers get to experience.
Also, I don't think you should waste your efforts arguing with people that have the custom to lessen logic or information for the sake of forced practicality
Sure, but this video is more like a filler, that also have some key points and arguments. Of course, we need to mix videos that take a lot of time and effort with something more simple
P. S. About arguing in the internet - I would just say I enjoy discussing hardware stuff. Arguing doesn’t mean being aggressive
Those 12gigs really help the 3060 stand out.
This video helps a lot deciding what card to buy. I'm trying to decide between the 3060 12gb and the 3060 Ti. I get the impression that the 3060 12gb will be able to run games in the future better than the 3060 Ti even though currently most titles run better on the Ti (but Far Cry 6 is an exception that I think is indicative of a tendency.)
That 8gb vram looks like a real bottleneck that will make newer titles unplayable soon, whereas the 12gb vram will give a solid chance for the 3060. That's my impression at least, I'll get back to you in a few years as to whether my thesis worked out haha
I have 3060 ventus 8gb + i59600k and I am planning to buy 4k monitor, would that be a good idea? I play mostly AC gamesm thanks for ur help!
I have eagle 3060 12b
Definitely go for the inherent ram
perfect video who says 12gb is useless and over used and only a marketing thing
Serious copium right here buddy.
Prove me where the hll you sav the vram go higher thn 8gb
Nvidia has more brain than you and also the rtx 3060 12gb version have 192bit bus so it can utilize the 12gigs of vram efficiently. In some games due to 12gb vram the 3060 beats the 3060ti in higher resolutions where the vram consumption goes beyond 8gb
Ik they have more brains but i have mote than yours you yust said random fact in this video it didnt go over 8 in some games yes it goes but not a big deal.
@@GoforW I am not referring to this video only. I am referring to all the games in world.
I am not sure if there's a point in playing games in 4K if you're forced to lower your settings to low-med. I would rather prefer lower resolution with better lighting, shadows and post effects to poor, but crisp image. I never tried a 4K monitor, though, so I am just assuming :)
Отличный английский, кстати! Подписался!
4k на самом деле отличное разрешение, особенно при большой плотности пикселей (при 27 дюймах - 169 ppi), говорю как пользователь такого монитора, а в играх с 4к текстурками вообще супер, особенно если бы не немалые требования к железу у такого разрешения. Но DLSS как обычно (пусть и не всегда) спасает ситуацию )
I see the biggest performance boost with dlss auto on my 3060. It's quite dramatic over all but like performance.
I love my 3060, would highly recommend! The 40's series shit has me torn man, the card by itself isn't really that much more powerful than the 30 series counter parts.. yet with DLSS being what it is these days and the 40 Series offering frame gen.. the 40 series is offering more in terms of software. not sure if im going to upgrade but at the moment with the 3060 i'm still good for a while i hope
And once you try older games even my much weaker GTX 1070 can handle 4K games. Like Starcraft II with pretty high settings, Final Fantasy XIII and others from that era. So yeah: It's clear the 3060 can play 4K games, even though the pure power of that card might not be the best of the current generation. I'm really missing the VRAM on many newer nVidia models.
Your videos rule, man.
DLSS and FSR dude 😃
Song name pls
RTX 3060 single handedly outdoing its Ti brother and 3070 because of that chonky VRAM
I imagine it will do better than 4060 8gb too with the state of gaming these days
Rtx 4060 with only 8gb is hilarious tho.
Not Microsoft flight simulator 😢 hate it.
30 fps is choppy af.
pov: you only play games on NASA supercomputers
30 fps is fine for most people bro
it is choppy on fortnite, csgo, val but for singleplayer games its pretty good but i would always choose 1440p rather than 4k bcs 4k is just too overkill
I use a 2060 with a 28in 4k monitor and its fine, as long as one can live with mostly medium graphics gaming. Then again, I rarely do pc gaming anymore. It ran rdr2 pretty fine too though. looked pretty nice with 40-55fps. Definitely better than on a xbox one s. Pc was ment as an office pc and for that it is perfectly sufficent.
@@a_literal_crow no 30fps is not that good it does feel choppy and delayed after playing a game with 240fps
Always has been
Can RTX handle 4K? NO, it can NOT handle 4k it ends up in black screen of death and you will only be able to run in 1080 or the car will keep crashing to black screen, this based in my own experience and only lasted 3 months runing games at 4k about 4 hours every day
I run SQUAD on 4K with medium to MOSTLY high settings and it runs perfectly with explosions, tank fire, infantry, and helicopters flying about all at the same time at a steady 60-70 fps….it also comes down to your CPU too….
