GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Ti pci_e_x16 Gaming OC PRO 8G (REV3.0) Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, LHR, 8GB 256-bit GDDR6, GV-N306TGAMINGOC PRO-8GD R3 Video Card

Bought this bad boy to replace my 970, and it works amazing. The fans run beautifully and quiet, and when they get up there they definitely do their job of cooling the card. It's a good card, but it is still scalper pricing. For a card that MSRP's at $399 I ended up paying $945, plus $50 for expedited shipping. At more than double the MSRP it is still a sore spot. But I did get what I paid for, it works flawlessly, I just wish it was cheaper.

Having struggled with gaming on a 750 Ti for years, upgrading to a 3060 Ti and seeing the difference it made was just mind-blowing. It's not particularly loud, the ray tracing is beautiful being able to run everything on high settings is amazing. The only issue I have that I'm not sure it's related is the flickering horizontal blue lines that suddenly appeared on my monitor after installation. I am not sure if it is the card or if I need to upgrade my monitor, but a cable upgrade did not help. Still troubleshooting that. I'm ecstatic I was able to find this level of card for such a reasonable price.

The card works perfectly fine, gaming performance are very good, though noise level is relatively high, nothing bad and you’ll probably never hear this card if you have a closed enclosure far away from you, but i have it 5 inches away from my ears with only a mesh panel to stop the sound. I previously had a 2060 from EVGA and could literally not hear it.P.S. the silence vs OC bios did not change a thing, in terms of performance, temperature (though I’m not pushing the card too hard) or noice level.

Super quick and stays cool

i like how quite and cool its run, glad i purchased it
