- Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB maintain its 1080p dominance? Let's put it to the test in 2024's hottest games. Join me as I benchmark the latest games to see if this graphics card can deliver smooth gameplay and impressive visuals. Additionally, I test the MSI RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X 12GB model to see if it is a good option if you want to buy an NVIDIA GPU for under $300.

have it now in a 1440p display and works pretty good to this day, just use DLSS and tweak the settings a little bit, works fine in well optimized games.
I'm actually looking forward to exploring the RTX 3060 at 1440p next. I wonder how it'll look on my M27Q monitor🙂 Do you use DLSS Balanced? Or Quality is the lowest you ever go?
@@theivadim High settings + DLSS Quality for now, and works pretty damn good imo
Software should be in addition to, not a requirement to run games. DLSS is fine but their is noticeable drop in quality especially in high resolutions.
You should be buying the hardware when you buy a GPU not an artificial price gate to get DLSS 2.0 or 3.0. That's a problem. You are essentially buying a software suite for the price instead of a piece of hardware. Considering they are raising the prices every year and giving you less hardware and compensating with software. It's supposed to be an addition to, not a requirement for the gimped overpriced hardware to actually function normally.
@@De4dSp0t Who are you talking to?
1440p DLSS Quality sets the game at 960p. 1440p DLSS Balanced sets the game at 830p(even balanced dlss looks good on 1440p).
It's embarrassing that game companies can't even optimize trees to not eat half your fps. They don't care about the customers anymore.
I was just thinking on buying the this same exact model of the RTX 3060 12gb, nice!
Question, how does it feel to play with DLSS Quality at 1080p? Is it too noticeable? Right now my GPU can't really run it (1050 Ti) so I don't think I have any kind of reference for it sadly.
DLSS Quality at 1080p feels worse than the already far from ideal 1080p native. If you are used to 1080p then you may not notice that much of a difference. I’ve done a follow up video comparing the RTX 3060 vs 4060. I’d choose the RTX 4060 because it delivers a much better experience czcams.com/video/22lQTEP44og/video.htmlsi=EHlxdSvjwf-QOFFv
@@theivadim I see, thank you so much!
have been usong 3060 evga xc like 2 years and not change it for anything one of the latest evga gpu's awesome
You haven't tick the box (Ray reconstruction) it may help a lot. DLSS Quality and Ray reconstruction. Try that.
I mean Alan Wake 2 turned the 4090 into a 1080 experience at max settings so there is no way a 3060 would be able to perform as well.
I've completed Alan Wake 2 in 1080p, DLSS using my 3060 12Gb, believe me we don't need 2 4090s and 4K Ultra settings to enjoy games
@@Shortroundd1080p which graphic preset you use ?
You dont need 60fps constistently, as long as it feels smooth and works then its fine. As long as it does not dip below 40fps in a single player title its fine. If its multiplier then its a different story but for the most part single player games dont need 60fps and does not need ultra settings. Medium to high settings is more than enough without wasting fps for 5% visual increase.
I have 3060 12gb paired with ryzen 5700x and i can max out pretty much any game at native 1080p alan wake 2, avatar, cyberpunk phantom liberty are exceptions lol but it is still a very capable card
Which do I choose for the coming years is the RTX 3060 12GB or the normal RTX 4060 8Gb
3060 wid dlss more vram for future high textures games
what about Lossless Scaling's frame generation? I'd imagine it would work perfectly fine with this card. Actually it works with all graphics cards, you should check it out.
I was contemplating it. But then scrapped this idea and returned the RTX 3060. It feels wrong to promote the 3060 if it needs third-party software to make it a decent choice in 2024. There is no guarantee that good support will be provided and maintained if it isn't done by NVIDIA. It's a cool software though.
@@theivadim I understand that but if you can get a 3060 for half the price of a 4060 like I did, I think it's worth it. Heck, I'm perfectly content with my A2000 thanks to Lossless Scaling's frame gen
@@theivadim I bought Lossless Scaling for my Steam Deck (before selling it) to upscale games when I had Windows installed on it and this was prior to them adding frame gen to the app. This program has gotten many updates since, I think it has pretty good support. The fact that it works on all graphics cards and for all games makes it a worthy investment imo.
Half price? I can't argue with that bargain🙂👍 But when we're talking about the same price or +/- $10-20 like it was the case when I was buying the RTX 3060 to make this video then I'd buy the RTX 4060 instead of the 3060 every time.
@@theivadim yea, I was able to find a 3060 for $180. The 4060 being relatively new makes it difficult to find bargain deals. I tested a 4060 and really like the performance per watt of the card but not worth $200 more for the 3060 I found
You can use nukem9 frame gen mod for all Rtx gpus. I am using it in my rtx3070 laptop and at 1600p I get 90/100 fps high setting with dlss on quality mode.
Thanks, I'll check it out🤝
I run a Rog Strix 4060 TI 16 GB on a 34" Ultrawide @ 1440 and get great frames on most everything on ultra, I am running a small o.c. on the card. I'm quite happy with it, but the price was too high at the time.
4060 Ti 16GB is still way to expensive imho🙂 But getting an 8GB version is definitely a big no-no😄 Lesser of two evils I guess. Anyhow, everything is good as long as you're enjoying the performance in games you play.
So many people purchased this card when the AMD 6600XT would have given them around 10% more FPS :)
8gb yah good luck with that
@@COYG94 8gb on a 2024 low end card is fine... the 7600XT 16gb is around 10% faster on a 50 game testest average vs a 7600 8gb :) because it cant game at 4k or with Ray tracing turned on... the big hoohaa was the 3070 8gb Did have enough GPU horsepower to make use of 12BGs or more ram but only came with 8
@@defectiveclone8450 8gb ain't enough anymore even for low end cards and 16gb on a 128 bit makes no sense, people opted for 3060 because of vram dlss and better ray tracing performance.
3060 is the better option. Even if you think it was a low end, 12GB surely does help. And DLSS fosho.
@@Jakiyyyyy i wanted to buy 6700xt because it is closer to 4060/3060ti but with 12gb vram however it was pretty expensive in my region so i opted for 3060 for 310$
Well I have a gtx 1050 ti I just bought the rtx 3060 12gb this would still be a massive upgrade mind you I have a ryzen 7 5700x no more bottleneck
No argument there. It's a big upgrade. I hope you got a good deal on your 3060. Enjoy it!
You can easy play in 1440p and you dont need to have very high on shadow mode
Bro i was just searching about this exact model of the card and you made a review of it!😂👌
I hope it was helpful 🙂
i have a 5600G, 32 gb ram and a 1650 super, im really lacking and the gpu is failing, i thought a 3060 would be good for me to not have to upgrade the whole pc
After comparing the RTX 3060 vs 4060 I overwhelmingly prefer the experience I had with the RTX 4060 - czcams.com/video/22lQTEP44og/video.html
If prices are similar (like in my region) then I'd recommend going for the 4060 instead of the 3060.
@@theivadim but then id have to upgrade my cpu and motherboard and everything
You don't have to. You can still use the 4060 with your current setup and have a good time.
@@theivadim are you sure?
You have 32GB of RAM and a decent CPU that should deliver 60+ FPS in pretty much any modern game. Which component do you think is not suitable in your PC to pair with the RTX 4060? I think your PC will be OK with this upgrade.
Amd it's not even using 12gb of Vram. Only using 8GB at 99% GPU load. Have you tried downloading the last drivers? Checked NVIDIA app? Put on max performance? That's no good for a desktop 3060. I think PS5 is better, what you think? GPUs are waste of money comparing to Console.
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!🤝
Doesn't the PS5 render this at 4k/60?
Not native for sure. And I think that it is 4K 30 with high image quality and 4K 60 in performance mode (lower quality).
Nah, mine can run actual games very well. Cyberpunk for example is not a game, it's a graphics benchmarking software after you play the history.
Forza Horizon 5 is well optimized and looks nice, runs on Ultra/Extreme mix at 80+ fps. It looks even better with DLSS Quality.
I'm glad that your 3060 is enough for your needs. In this case, I've showcased games that I actually play. And the 3060 falls a bit short since it can't handle them without help from DLSS. Frame generation could prolong its life. But sadly, NVIDIA will never bring it to RTX 30 series cards.
@@theivadim Oh, just to add, I'm using a 1440p 165hz monitor. I had a 1080p before. The resolution upgrade is always more valuable than in-game graphics preset. Running very well as I said. which for me is 165fps+ in competitive and 60fps+ in other.
True. Upgrading from 27 inch 1080p to 1440p was very noticeable for me too. I'm now using the 32 inch 4K 144Hz VA monitor you see in this video. It was yet another very pleasant upgrade from 1440p. Surprisingly, I managed to make it work with an RTX 4070 SUPER I have in my personal PC. Not exactly a 4K gaming GPU by most people's standards. But the setup works thanks to DLSS and frame generation. At higher resolutions DLSS is great.
I like pushing GPUs to their limits. That's why I'm interested in trying the RTX 3060 at 1440p next. I wonder if I'll be satisfied with what I find using the 3060 in the latest games.
I can get 20 fps or so in cyberpunk 2077
With fr overdrive path tracing
50+ fps is fine for any game kinda
My pc is pre built and it has a AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8-Core processor and the graphics is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 8gb
Many people say that HFW is a greatly optimized game. But in reality, if you compare it to PS5 version, it does not look good for PC. 3060 is just a tad bit slower than PS5 GPU, yet it can barely provide 60 fps experience at 1080p/Medium. While PS5 offers locked 60 fps at 1800p/~High settings. It dynamically changes resolution, depending on a scene, but still even upscaled 1800p is much harder to run than native 1080p. So this particular game is not the best optimized one for PCs.
These days 3060 can barely run modern games at native 1080p. And DLSS looks pretty bad at such a low res. So, unless you are OK with poor image quality or you are not going to play latest AAA games, 3060 is simply not fast enough, despite the fact that it is close to PS5 level of performance. What a pity many PC games are more demanding than console versions.
PC vs console has always been like that. There's way more optimisation happening for console because it's just on set of hardware. Easier to optimise for that. PC really shines when you start gaming at 4K. DLSS is great at that resolution. I've been using Balanced in some games with my 4070 SUPER at 4K and it looks surprisingly enjoyable while delivering brilliant performance. At 1080p only frame generation is helpful. And the 3060 doesn't have access to it. Unfortunately. Big L.
Well optimized comparatively with most recent released titles, there's room for improvement, like fps drop on npc heavy cutscenes, and burning shores area.
Do you thinks that buying an RTX 3060 is a good idea in 2024?
Only if you are on a budget but still u can get the 6600xt
@maxpc-dz9jy if only FSR were as good as DLSS at 1080p. That would've been an easy decision. But it's not.
Before getting my hand on a 4070 Super last month, i was still playing on a RTX 2060 and it was fine for 1080p, i guess a 3060 is still a good card.
It worths it cause rtx 4060 and rx 6600xt are in general really close to performance but 3060 has 12 gigs of vram . But honestly if you find rx 6700xt at that price then go for it
3060 is trash 🗑️
I have 3090, I skipped the 40 series because of the bad connector, I was not going to spend close 2 grand on something that had a chance of falling just because I might not of plugged the connector in right, I'm interested in what the 50 series has to offer and by now no one should buy a 4080 Super or even a 4090, with the 50 series rumored to be coming later this year...
The 5090 will be powerful. I have no doubt about it. I'm more interested in witnessing how close the 5080 will be to the 5090 in terms of performance and price🙂 It'll be a pleasure to use either one of them to play games at 4K with ray tracing enabled. I'm even thinking about putting my Alan Wake 2 playthrough on hold until I can get my hands on one of them next-gen GPUs to play this game properly with maxed out graphics and high FPS.
Cant run ark ascended im telling you
Get 3060 Ti for slightly more :)
Less vram
@@garbagepotato U don't need 12gb vram for 3060 u won't play at max settings with it
@tomisgaming7003 3060ti out of stock and I aint getting some crusty used gpu
@@garbagepotato In that case RX 6700 XT if in stock or RTX 4060 cuz 3060 costs almost same as 4060 and 4060 is 20 percent faster plus more efficient
Glad you didn't try out the new ARK game (Survival Ascended) or that PC woulda just pulled out a gun on ya 🤣
do you think you can play gta on it??????
GTA 5? Yeah. You can play GTA 5 at 1080p even on the modern integrated graphics. I'm sure that the 3060 can handle it using very high graphics settings. But why don't you search for its performance? There are hundreds of videos demonstrating the RTX 3060 in GTA performance - czcams.com/video/YKvcBwm2gRY/video.html&pp=ygUOcnR4IDMwNjAgZ3RhIDU%3D
you can run 1440p so yeah
i hvae a 3060 but i dont care about the new crappy games,they are booring
Exactly what I have been thinking. And badly optimized too. 🥲
The only good game so far that I have played that is new is the horizon forbidden west.
Honestly same recently I've just been playing tears of the kingdom on my switch lite. The new PC games are so boring. 3060 is enough for me since it can run Arkham knight at a good frame rate
@@PhoenixKeebs I run oldschool games also like witcher 3 next gen, subnautica(modded), dota 2, horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, batman collection, terraria, etc. I have a RTX 3050 8GB and get more than enough fps on those games as well.
What games do you play¿
Just get a PS5.
Can't get any work done on a PS5 though.🙂
