The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 will be out starting today at 9AM PST

- Start date
that is how I feel about my 1660ti I sold to my friend while waiting for the 3000 series to release.
Feels like there were way fewer GPU wins this drop, even on the stock tracking channels.
Thankfully, seems like AMD CPU stock is finally catching up with demand.

Indeed, just saw the update about it

Late March, NVIDIA will release downloadable VBIOS updates for all Founders Edition GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs to enable Resizable BAR, and likewise, partners will release VBIOS updates for their custom models, too.

NVIDIA confirms Resizable BAR support on AMD Zen3 and Intel 10th & 11th Gen Core series - VideoCardz.com
GeForce RTX 30 Series Performance To Accelerate With Resizable BAR Support Our initial support for “Resizable BAR” is available now for GeForce RTX 3060 desktop graphics cards and GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops. Utilising an advanced feature of PCI Express, Resizable BAR can increase performance...

A local store selling the 3060 at $1.111. That's an official Zotac partner
YEAAAH I love my 1060 6gb lol

Thanks for the the AMD update...I gave up on checking a while ago lol. Just got a 5600x on Bestbuy!
So it's basically even with the old 2070 in both performance and perf/dollar - at MSRP which it won't hit for the foreseeable future.
Would be an okay card at MSRP, above it it just makes no sense - everyone should be looking for 3060Ti and 6800 instead.
It's also not an interesting upgrade for any 16/20 series owner, the card as it is only cater to 900 and 10 series owners.
I've managed to find ONE benchmark where 3060 12GB was beating 3060Ti 8GB thanks to it's VRAM though. 3060 was at 9 fps while 3060Ti was at 7. What an advantage that VRAM size is.
If your aim is to play games like PUBG for the next couple of years then 1080Ti is better.

Sheer VRAM capacity is never a factor in a GPU's performance.
Minus RT and DLSS, minus most of new console generation features and minus the fact that Ampere will likely do better in future math heavy titles than 1080Ti.

I am in the same boat with a 1080ti. I want a 3080, willing at this point to go for 3090 FE (had couple opportunties to do so last year, kicking myself now). I am hesitant on 6800xt or 6900xt since I really want DLSS and ray tracing performance.
Do it and use the step up program to get your 3080 eventually.
It's officially enabled on all 3060 GPUs at launch, nothing "shadow" about it.
The last couple of drivers already support it and it should work on Zen3+400/500 chipsets and Intel 10/11 series on 400/500 chipsets.
It is currently limited to a rather short whitelist of games though:
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla
- Battlefield V
- Borderlands 3
- Forza Horizon 4
- Gears 5
- Metro Exodus
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Watch Dogs: Legion
Looking at the results however I wonder if 3060 is too slow to take full advantage of ReBAR as gains seem fairly minor even in titles where you'd expect them to be significant.
Also worth mentioning that ReBAR seem to help with 1% low more than average fps (which is expected really) but that leads to some weird results in frametimes which could be viewed as 12GB VRAM advantage - while they are not. We need to wait for comparisons of 3060 12GB with GPUs with 6 and 8 GBs once they'll get ReBAR support too.
We probably should have tried last year when it was a bit easier. I got so wrapped up with the XSX and PS5 hype that the video card went on the backburner. I agree with you on the 6000 series of AMD card, the lack of DLSS/Ray Tracing is what has me hesitant.
Honestly for that price I would take it. It is an amazing price.
I don't know all the specifics of your/their purchase.. All the info I found is here. Check it out, even if you can't step it up.. $200 for a 2070 from a 1060 is an GREAT deal and worthwhile upgrade imo. Plus since it's your BiL if he's the original purchaser go through his account for the step up?
Do it. 3060 is essentially the same as a 2070 anyways and you can just skip all the hassle.
I even had a chance to get mildly scalped EVGA version last year for $1100... which I obviously didn't do at the time. Once again, in retrospect, should have paid the scalper.
And yeah, got XSX/PS5, both are good, I like XSX better, but would have traded both for a 3080 :).
Yeah, I shot a message out to him. I've still got the newegg lotto but if that doesn't pan out I'll grab his 2070. Kind of wanted to keep my 1060 and make a built for my 9 year old but I'll take what I can get.
Do it. A 2070 and a 3060 non-Ti are basically the same thing, so if you were interested in the 3060 then just get that 2070.
They have a 3060 in stock at a Micro Center in Georgia I just need a plane ticket. They're still cheap right?
At $1100 that would have been a steal when you think back now. LOL!
I even have considered doing a PS5 and cash trade for a 3080 if it came down to it and can always get the PS5 at a later date since those are not as hard to get a hold of.
Don't trust the stock indicators for Micro Center for GPUs.
I promise you, they don't have any.
Both the Marietta and Duluth Micro Centers in GA had 80+ people in line by opening.
Ah ya, I see a few of them now, for some reason they weren't showing up for me before.
That price though.... I think I'd much rather wait for the Ti to come back in stock if that's how much they're charging for 3060, considering the performance advantage the Ti has over the 3060.
If/when availability returns it's the 3060 Ti you should be aiming for, that's the sweet spot.
And some sad mother fucker will pick it up, perpetuating the issue while the rest of us sulk in our own tears.
I think I'm ready to finally let go of my 980 Ti.
The 3060 goes on sale here next week, but I'm not really interested for $500-600, though.

I am totally out of the loop on the GPU scalper situation. Are there really people willing to pay $800 for a $329 mid-range GPU or is this just a case of the scalpers hoping someone will pay that much?
I would think if you have $800 to burn on a GPU you would set your sights a bit higher than a 3060...
The thing you would actually pay $800 in a normal market for is probably nearly $2000+ usd now in that same scenario. It just doesn't affect the new shit, it causes a ripple and causes the prices of EVERYTHING on the market to go through the roof. This RX580 in my PC that I don't even use at the moment I bought for like $249 after waiting over a year for the last mining craze to subside has gone to being up to $800+ on newegg for example. Probably well over 4x times its value since its a few years old. If you absolutely need a GPU within a certain performance spec, within a certain timeframe you basically have no choice but to get price gouged. People are probably getting whatever they can get at the best price possible instead of what they should be able to get for their money.
Not for desktops. 3060 for notebooks launched in early January.
Yeah, I secured it. Will probably pick it up over the weekend.
Yeah, after watching the videos Ti is way I'd go. Not paying stupid prices though so doubt I'll get a new GPU for a Iong time.
Sorry for the bump, this finaly showed up on my country and it cost 900€, 900 fucking €, wtf....
