Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid GPU so far. Works great with MSI Afterburner and Dragon Center and has no fitment or build issues. Runs pretty cool out of the box and it hasn’t hit over 65°C yet and I’ve been running Call of Duty: Cold War on all Ultra settings at 1080p. Adjusted the fan curve in MSI Afterburner no issue and put a slight overclock no issue. MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi in the Corsair 4000D Airflow for size and fitment reference.

Even being the most underated model of the 3060 Ti line this card perform very good, no issues at all no coil whine at this point, handle every single game at Ultra settings

Card works well. I don't have any noise or heat issues. Replaced my 1070 and it's about twice the performance plus ray tracing is now an option. This card has it's power locked, so overclocking further is fairly limited out of the box. Find that weird for a card that is 10-15% more $ than the FE version and has 2 8-Pin power connectors. But still a good card and it fits well in a smaller case. I'd go with a different brand version if you can find one for less, there is nothing about this card to justify the premium price. I only got it because it was the first one I saw available.

Great performance at a great price point. Matching the 2080 Super in performance and a great card for 1440p resolution. Runs cool and quiet.

The card is a beast. Paired it with a new Asus 27 inch 144 hz UHD (1440p) G-sync monitor. I can play ESO (old person's game) comfortably (40-50 FPS in the busiest city areas) on Ultra settings with everything maxed out. With a few minor tweaks I can get 70-144 FPS no problem. This is all on a motherboard with PCIe 3.0 slots, an overclocked CPU (i5-6600K at 4.4 Ghz), overclocked RAM (DDR3 2400), and a 750W PSU that are all 5 years old. The 3060 replaced a 6 year AMD Radeon R9 390 (RIP old buddy). Quiet and cool, never exceeds 68 degrees Celsius under full load with a custom fan curve. I do have a spacious tower with a lot of room. Overclocked using MSI Afterburner. After a fair amount of testing, settled on +160 core +1150 memory with the core voltage and power limit at +100. Maxes out at 2115 Mhz in game. Disclaimer: Mileage may vary (see "Silicon Lottery"). As others have mentioned, this model requires two 8 pin connectors.

I was lucky enough to snag one of these and it arrived on December 31st. A great way to start off the new year. I must say the upgrade from my gtx980 is night and day. Before I could barely play cyberpunk but now I can enjoy the full glory of ray tracing an less screen tearing. However, I did notice my cpu (i7 9700k) was running near 100% and gpu was only running at 20%. This may just be from how cyberpunk is optimized, but overall it still ran pretty solid and temps stayed low. I managed to average 60-70 fps on high settings with DLSS set to quality. The reason for leaving 4 starts if the price of this card when compared to other 3060ti's. This card has no rgb, lights, and only has 3 fans whereas competitors have 3 fans and rgb at this price range. Also for $30 more you could snag a 3070 FE if your lucky enough which I think would be the better deal

Easily the best value of the RTX 30 series cards for those on a smaller budget, or 1080p and 1440p gamers. This card easily handles 1440p gaming at 144hz, or 1080p at 240Hz. The Ventus card has 2 large fans to keep the card cool as well as a very capable heatsink and fin design. This is the OC edition so it runs higher than a stock or reference card out of box and has additional headroom from power and cooling if you need it. Great value card.

Coming from GTX1060, the RTX 3060 Ti is quite a step up. The MSI Ventus 2X has the advantage of fitting in smaller cases, and this has been a great find as the 3X would certainly not have fit in the case. Quite happy with noise-free operation due to fan-shutoff when low-usage allows it.

Very fast and quiet. Highest temperature so far is 70 degrees under load. At idle it is silent. Some reviews have ranked this card low because of the cooler but for me it has been perfect. Highly recommend if it gets back in stock.

The MSI variant of the 3060 Ti is a bit worse quality but it's acceptable. There is no rgb or lights at all. You cannot increase or decrease voltage/power limit, in MSI afterburner for some reason. But it runs decently cool. Would probably the founders or some other variants as this is still $50 over the founders.

Works great and we all know about the GPU shortage going on and the only reason I bought this was its my buddy who was desperately needing an upgrade ! When the market gets back to normal and they’re in stock I would choose something else because the price point that this is selling at every other 3060 TI either has a 3 fan design or RGB which this doesn’t have neither of . The guy under me saying something about plugging it in ? Yes this GPU needs X2 8 pin pci express cables . Also my buddy’s pc is running it with a Corsair sfx 450 watt 80 plus platinum PSU with a AMD R5 3600 with no problems at all .

Amazing quality, great speed, and great price versus performance. This was an upgrade from a ROG Strix 1080 TI 11GB, it blows it out of the water.

Great card, I was very lucky to get it. If your reading this review I think you know that too. Some of the GPUs with the larger cooler obviously are a little quieter and better performing but this works perfect for me.

Thank god for Best Buys attempts to prevent scalpers from acquiring all the graphics cards! While not perfect, it's leaps and bounds better some other sites. That being said on to the card. This card was quite the upgrade from my 1080. Easy to install, great performance at a nice price. One low enough that in maybe a year or two, I won't feel guilty about upgrading it...given the supply/scalping problem is rectified.

Nice card but it needs 2 x 8pin power connectors, so don't forget that. I use EVGA's PrecisionX to overclock the card and set the fan speeds and it is completely compatible. Very significant performance increase in many games (FortNite, World of Tanks, Call of Duty Cold War, Witcher, etc... 60-100% increase in FPS over the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 and GTX 980ti. Fans are extremely quiet, even under 100% load!

This is a great card and value for the performance you get. Coming from a 1060 evga 1 fan it stays cooler and not too loud. I was able to flash the firmware from a msi gaming x trio which allowed me to up the watts to 240 with no heat increase. Benchmarks show about a 20% increase after this! If you need pretty colors get something else. If you want an inexpensive powerhouse this is the one.

This GPU is a great addition to your gaming system.

This gpu is a massive upgrade from my gtx 1050 and I’m lovin it so far. Runs very well @ 1080p 144hz and fans are silent. Bought this when it was $469.99 but seeing the price for this gpu now, yikes. Until prices go back to normal, try to avoid this gpu.

Great card has zero issues running the latest game (cyberpunk) at max settings, ray tracing etc at 1080p. Looks good on select titles at 1440p. It's a great value as well. Only problem is it's not readily available for everyone to enjoy. If you're wanting to game at 4k you'll probably want to look for a 3070.

I was able to score a GPU during a time when it was very difficult to do so. Best Buy had a nice system in place to limit bots/scalpers from what I could tell. The card is working flawlessly and looks great as well. It stays cool under load and gives me more than satisfactory performance for price I paid.
