    Very Good Graphics Card, Small and compact, runs cool as well when gaming. Fans dont get loud so that's a plus. Just wished it had some form of lighting. See my setup in the link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Lhm5esK2s&t=50s

    Amazing GPU!

    This is not the GPU I wanted. I wanted a Founder's Edition 3060ti, but these prices and the item availability is awful. The second I saw this GPU was in stock, I bought it. I had some doubts at first- that it would be very terrible for the price I purchased it at, or that I should've kept waiting for a Founder's 3060ti. However, I started off with a PNY 1650. With this GPU, I can stream without lag interference. I can actually see which enemy I'm shooting at. I can run games in the highest quality settings easily and smoothly over 200fps. I can see how detailed the game developers make their maps, and characters. It's a silent GPU with no RGB accents whatsoever. It's a trusty card that is good for its price. 10/10, I very much recommend.

    Overclocks Better Than Any Card I’ve Ever Used

    If you can get this card it is awesome. Same cooling solution as the 3060ti and the XC gaming has a backplate unlike the “3060 Black” and the backplate helps with cooling too. Downloaded MSI Afterburner to OC the card and I had no idea how awesome it would handle it (+225 Core and +1250 Memory).... yeah, freaking crazy. Might have just won the silicon lottery with this one. Great price, be vigilant... get whatever 3000 series card you can.

    Finally was able to place my order two weeks ago after many attempts to get my hands on any rtx card. I built a new computer in January and was reusing sli gtx 960 4gb cards until I was able to get this one. After playing many new AAA titles at medium/ low settings so my old 960’s could handle it I became frustrating that getting an rtx card was so difficult. Luckily I finally got my EVGA rtx 3060 xc and I couldn’t be happier. I thought I would want more like a 3060ti or 3070. But to be honest this card runs ultra settings with ray tracing and dlss on call of duty Cold War with my lg 1440p 144hz at 60-100 FPS. That’s amazing to me and I am impressed wirh the performance.

    Managed to snag this card on a April 28th best buy drop. Very impressed with the performance. Runs COD Cold War on 115+ fps with high to ultra settings. Initially wanted a 3060 ti, but I cannot complain with this beast of a tiny machine. The cooling on this gpu is also stellar, never reached above 60C under full load. If you are looking to overclock this card, it will not disappoint. So happy I got the opportunity to purchase this card, as it is the cheapest 3060 on Best Buy. Overall, cannot complain with the performance of any of the 3000 series gpus.

    Be me, building a pc last year unaware of the bitcoin mining scalping market cretins causing outrageous pricing.In the following months looking at the pricing trends of the GPU market. My patience running thin at the same time awaiting the next generation GPUs coming out of Nvidia, Radeon and Intel. For my applications it is more than enough, props to Best Buy keeping it “reasonably” priced.

    Now let me tell you about this baby right here… I initially wanted another graphics card when I made the purchase. But so far this little workhorse has convinced me on holding off the urge to buy a Founder’s Edition card. I haven’t had any problem thus far with the card. Whatever game you want to play this card is going to put in some work!

    I love this GPU it runs Minecraft Rtx very well and yea that’s about all I play but now my build is complete! Woot woot! It’s so hard to get any 30 series cards and I figured people don’t care about this one as much so on drop days I just go for this one while everyone else tries for the 3070 & 3080’s. The issue is availability.

    Design (4.5/5): The XC GAMING card comes with a dual-fan cooling system and a sleek, compact design. It's not the most eye-catching card on the market, but its unassuming aesthetics should blend well with most PC builds. The build quality is solid, and it feels robust in hand. Performance (4.5/5): Powered by NVIDIA's Ampere architecture and 12GB of GDDR6 memory, this GPU delivers impressive performance for its price point. It's more than capable of handling modern games at 1080p and even provides a smooth experience at 1440p in many titles. Ray tracing and DLSS technology further enhance gaming visuals. Ray Tracing and DLSS (4/5): The RTX 3060 brings ray tracing capabilities to the mid-range GPU market. While it may not achieve the same level of ray tracing performance as higher-tier cards, it still adds a layer of realism to supported games. DLSS technology also helps maintain smooth framerates when ray tracing is enabled. Cooling (4/5): The dual-fan cooling solution keeps the card's temperatures in check during gaming sessions. It remains relatively quiet under load, which is a significant plus for users who prefer a quieter gaming experience. Connectivity (5/5): The card features HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, making it capable of handling high refresh rates and resolutions. It also supports VR gaming, making it suitable for virtual reality enthusiasts. Price (4.5/5): Given the current state of the GPU market, the RTX 3060 XC GAMING offers good value for its performance. It's competitively priced and provides a solid gaming experience without the need for a top-tier budget. Compatibility (5/5): The card is compatible with a wide range of motherboards and power supplies, making it accessible for users with varying system configurations. NVIDIA Features (5/5): This card fully leverages NVIDIA's software features, including NVIDIA Broadcast for content creators and NVIDIA Reflex for competitive gamers. These features enhance the overall experience, whether you're streaming, recording, or competing in esports. Overall (4.5/5): The EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING is a strong contender in the mid-range GPU market. It offers an excellent balance of performance, price, and features. While it may not be the most visually striking card, it more than makes up for it with its gaming capabilities. In summary, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC GAMING is a graphics card that delivers solid gaming performance and features at an attractive price point. Whether you're building a gaming PC or upgrading an existing one, this GPU offers a compelling option for mid-range gaming enthusiasts.

    A really amazing card. My only gripe with this card so far is the 0dB fan setting. The fans won’t spin until 55 degrees Celsius. This is fine when just browsing the web and so on. However when doing light loads, the gpu will go to 55 degrees making the fan spin, and then go below 55 degrees making the fan not spin, and repeat. It makes a slightly audible noise when the fans starts up each time which is a bit annoying. I fixed this issue though using MSI Afterburner to set my own fan curves. As for performance, it is shockingly amazing. I get around 240 FPS on almost everything at 1080p. The card runs cool with the tweaked fan curve and I expect this to stay in my system for a long time.

    Under rated card for 1080p. Yes, it can do 1440p but it's intended for 1080p. If you get it at msrp, it's worth it. Silent, cool and will anestheticly pleasing in dark builds.
