I've been lucky and blessed to been able to purchase this before 2021 Christmas. This 3060 is still going strong and it was a real easy pick up. Thank you Best Buy!

Good gpu! Love the design on it and the preformance is amazing! But at a cost…….. 500$ is not a price to pay for it I honestly expect better. But over all great gpu I have had it for about 3months and it is honestly amazing. But at a cost.

Great 1080p card

Great introductory card for users that wish to game at high settings at 1080p. This card technically can do 1440 and 4k gaming, but I personally would not advice it as you would have to make numerous compromises with graphical settings especially if you want to go beyond 144 frames. Build quality is decent for what the card is, but I do wish that the plating is made of metal rather than graphene.

Decent card, but seems to run a lot hotter than the 1070 it replaced. Most of what I play using it doesn't need an 80 or 90 card. Decent card and was able to get one for my PC. Since this is my first 3060 card, I didn't know what to expect. Big fans seemed like a good idea. Hardly ever see it using even half of the 12GB. It works and my game settings can mostly be maxed without any real issues or artifacts. My first MSI card too. Software left a lot to be desired. Just wouldn't recommend to my friends that I would have to answer to.

Decent buy in an era of scarcity. Only got it by pure luck via restock alert, so had to jump on it. Don’t get me wrong- the regular RTX 3060 is only 8 GB VRAM, and def not worth $580, but this one has 12 GB, so it is.
Anyway, I got it for my brother since I already have a 3080 Ti (again, pure luck, same as this…and I paid actual MSRP $1199). Come to think of it, I have some great luck because I was able to pick up the Xbox/X and PS 5 the same exact way! I should grab some Powerball tix or something.

Very nice GPU. High-quality build, easy to install and awesome performance. It could be less pricey but given the circumstances, it was a good deal.

This is the great 1080p gaming graphics card! The design is industrial-looking with muted RGB, but fits my case well. It has good cooling and good performance for a 3060. I have been getting adequate FPS for the latest games like Cyberpunk, BFV, COD etc. It’s a LHR card but does not matter for gaming! Get it while you still can!!

Well worth the Price considering the results.
I upgraded from a 2060 SUPER 8GB and though this card wasn't a huge improvement, it was nice to know that on top of having a new card that wasn't going to completely brick out and fail at any moment, that I got an extra 8gb of VRAM to work with.
My games have never looked or felt better.

Awesome little card. Looks fantastic. A little on noisy side. It being only a two fan card. For smaller builds it's absolutely fine.

Its a decent upgrade going from a 1080 but runs a bit warm if you ask me. Also the RGB on it seems a bit dim in comparison with other cards like evga and asus.

Works well. Easy install. Manuals that came with it were very cute but informative. Only note is that the backplate covers the PCIe latch a bit so it becomes difficult to take out but that's more of an issue of the motherboard.
Performance and thermals are good. No issues with gaming whatsoever.

Best Bang for Buck Graphics Card

The 3060 card lineup is probably the best bank for buck card currently. I didn't see it being practical to get a 3090 for triple the price of a 3060 when all I play is some Warzone and Fortnite. This card runs what I need it to at top settings! No complaints what so ever!
