could you use a 3060 ti with an i5 11400F?
Corona
I’m going from a 1050 ti to a RTX 3060. It took ages to find but I finally fucking got it.
Stan random staff
I have a GTX 660 :) this will be a super upgrade for my monitor whit 2k and 144 hz
Mihály Majzik
Its 1096 usd here in hungary bruh
K Vlogs
I finally gave in after waiting months for GPUs to come back in stock and bought a GPU for $1000 on ebay, I can’t wait anymore, its a RTX 2070 super founders edition.
Dodge This!

I’m stuck with a 1660 ti but the 30 series cards cost a arm

I have 25 pieces of 3060 12G D6 for sale at 30178usd. If anyone needs it, please contact the wechat Name: LYZ-Robin
BladeTheWatcher
Meh. A 3060 is better than a 1060. And so what? If you need a new card, you'll buy whatever is available and you can still afford it ($3000 for a 3080... oh yeah, welcome to the jungle!) - if you have a 1060, be gay as a daisy and don't even consider buying anything for at least a year! (I have a friend who has recently bought a used 970 and he is real happy about getting something with moderate performance for a reasonable price)
So yeah, Linus is going salesman again - don't blame him, but get this one right, this video is just an AD.
Techtrip
buy what and where?
Andrew Lewis
3060 or 3060ti? For 1440p performance?

3060ti is better 3060 is trash I rather have 2080 super then 3060
wardope
I just sold my GTX 1080ti. And bought a Rtx 3060. And made a $100 on the trade. Then I sold my custom build 2017 pc With the Rtx 3060. And bought a brand new pc with the Rtx3070 and a ryzen 7 and made another $150 on that. So I got a brand new pc and $250 in my pocket. At this point.I have a buyer for my rtx3070 coming later today to pick it up. And then I secured a trade on a rtx3080. For the price of what o sell the RTX 3070 + $200. That puts me with a positive $50 and a brand new computer with a rtx3080. That's how you trade.
Maybe my years of experience trading the stock marked and now crypto marked have paid off trading the hardware marked. Anyway I'm happy with thi!

Linus! Help us get a 3070 or a 3080, please! I can’t take it any longer! Haha 😭 I just want to gaaaaaammmmeeeeeeeeee

Tophat
After waiting 10 hours in the microcenter perking lot, they sold out of the 3070 fright before me and I got the MSI Ventus 3060. I am more then impressed with it, and thanks Linus for reassuring that it’s a good card.
ToxicGamer_ Monk
I have msi gaming 2x rtx 3060 and it is way better than ventus 2x it doenst go more than 45°
ToxicGamer_ Monk
It has torx fan 4.0 while the ventus 2x has torx fan 3.0 plus gaming x rtx 3060 support twin frozr 8 and has smart and controlled cooling I have the box also and msi gaming x rtx 3060 is real it is not fake you can check it on msi website
Mario Nardoni
Got mine today, at retail price. This guy in the city I live in bought 2 on accident and actually didn’t scalp.
LIAM GLANVILLE
I got a the msi gaming x version from the Newegg shuffle today, and while it did cost $510, it’s better than trying to use my 960 2gb for 1440p.

how can anyone afford a GPU right now?

Just bought one hope it performs well

Me too , I bought mine today for $1471- inc Tax.
James Dickson
I have the 3060ti and use it with keyshot to do product renders I can say it's DEFINITELY worth the cost ! It's allowed me to cut my render times by more than 80% and also allows me to model while being in the render window ! Highly recommend for any creatives !! Massively improved my workflow
Z K
Ah man, I failed! Managed to put 3070 in my online basket but between that and pressing the approve button, they all got sold out lol
Z K
Thanks again. Wish me luck, the online shop opens the sale in 4hrs. All will be sold out within few seconds. Need to be fast on the trigger. Will let you know!
James Dickson
@Z K I was also going to get the 3090 until it became the price of gold 😅 I'm waiting it out a couple years with a 3060 Ti then upgrading to the 3090 when prices fall. I wouldn't focus so much on the amount of memory that the 3060 has over the 3070 though because the 3070 operates with a higher memory interface. Think of the 3060 like a wide pipe with water passing slowly whereas the 3070 is a slimmer pipe but with water passing much quicker, so in reality there's not much of a different when looking at memory, I think the 3070s increased amount of cuda cores will be the biggest benefit in cutting down render times. In all honesty though you couldn't go wrong with either there both going to render fine it's just the time it takes will likely be quicker on the 3070. I'd keep asking about and get some other opinion's maybe call some computer store's and ask them what they'd recommend as I'm not a massive computer Wiz so best to get a few opinions before you pay out
Z K
Thanks for the quick reply, was not expecting a reply :-) I was using CPU rendering only until now, yes for paid design work (work is down, Covid) . I have option to buy tomorrow 3060 for $550 vs 3070 for $750. I was worried about only 8Gb on 3070. If the scene does not fit then won't the faster speed of 3070 be a mute point? I wanted 3090 but it is going for $3000 here in Europe lol
James Dickson
@Z K if you've got the cash and can even find a 3070 at the moment definitely the 3070, keyshot is heavy on the cuda cores and the 3070 has about 5800 compared with the 3060s 3500 cuda cores so rendering will certainly be quicker with the 3070, but either will do a great job, I can only personally speak on behalf of the 3060 Ti which has been working amazing for me. I'd say if your just a hobbyist go for the 3060 it'll be plenty, but if your rendering for a profession or looking at getting into a profession that requires rendering often then get the 3070 👍cost and availability are the biggest factors at the moment with the current GPU shortage though, so if you could possibly wait it out till 2022 you might get a better deal
YourDaddyVapes
ok so i built my first pc last year about now and i got a 5600xt and 2600x. with these new cards and cpu should i upgrade or just wait a another year or 2. id like to add i play on 1080p still with a 144hz monitor. it is only a 1080p monitor, i should add i get 120 to 144 easy on everything i play. but i am thinking of going to 4k soon. should i just wait till i get a 4k monitor or are ready to get one. cause honestly im think id get the cpu and gpu first for 4k before i get the monitor, or should i get the monitor first then gpu, honestly im not to worrier about my cpu at the momment. im really not 2 worried about any of my gear my id like to hear some other options first before really make a choice.

John Podzinski
Fortunately I have the money to buy a 3060 right now.
Unfortunately I will be buying a 3060 right now.
Fucking scalpers. Only reason I would be upgrading right now is because my pc is taking a massive dump. Wish these companies would fix this scalping problem a little bit quicker.

how much did you pay

wtf why are u recomeding terrible graphics cards

Only reason I am looking at a 3060 is because the cheapest end ones here in Australia are about $750 while the cheapest end of 3080 is $1500

AWESOME! I'm ready to UPGRADE! Wait... Why is it going to cost me as much to upgrade my video card as it is to build my machine? smh... Forget it.

QUESTION. I have a rtx 2080 ti and a i5 8600k. I play Total War and Paradox games heavily which are cpu demanding games. Will going from my i5 8600k to a i9 9900k be a significant jump? or should I just wait? I play on a 1080p 144hz monitor.
Ben Hinman
Dude why do you keep shitting on Nvidia with your titles even when they keep knocking it out of the park with their 3000 series. Basically the only thing wrong with it is how hard it is to find xD
But seriously though your NVidia hate and AMD nut riding is basically just clickbait at this point

5:42 so what he means by this is that if u have a graphics card that is 60hz and a display that is 120 ur gud then???
Jeremy Catches
I have the 1060 3gb short version. It will do VR with the Oculus quest 2 but not very well... Lots of molasses gameplay. :( I am hoping the 3060 will do better but it kinda sucks I just paid like 300 for the 1060 :( If I can ever find one.
Grayve Rose
How can we 'buy it anyway' when literally all cards even old are either sold out or prices have sky rocketed? I bought my current card for around $400 in 2018 and its selling for $1200 right now on Newegg.

Did you get it get??? I think I might get a pre built pc with 3060 since it’s cheaper and easier to pull off. I’d also like to add more ram, storage and gpu if I want to do crypto mining

HumanOddity69
The RTX 3060 purports to have 12gb of VRam but what they are not telling people is that it's almost entirely useless because it also has 192 bit bandwidth making it just a slight upgrade from your old, reliable 1060 that grants you unusable access to raytracing and other advanced features that won't work without a wider bandwidth. The 3060TI is a much better choice and if you can put an extra $100.00 or so down the true sweet spot of this generation of Nvidia cards is actually the 3070 line. The 3070 is the card that will carry you for years as a one time investment just like the 1060 did back in the day.
HumanOddity69
@Z K Awe yeah, I know the feeling. This chip shortage has to end one of these days though.
Z K
Ah man, I failed! Managed to put in my online basket but between that and pressing the CC approve button, they all got sold out lol
HumanOddity69
@Z K No problem and best of luck to you. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Z K
Thanks for the reply. I am a 3d artist and we normally prefer 3090 with 24Gb of ram or vapour ware 3080ti with 20Gb! Anyway after more research I decided to go for 3070, wish it had more ram though! Unfortunately 3060ti, 3080 or 3090 are not on offer. Wish me luck, the online shop opens the sale in 4hrs. All will be sold out within few seconds. Need to be fast on the trigger.
HumanOddity69
@Z K That's true but if that were the reason then they should be marketing it as a cheap workstation solution not a gaming card. My understanding is that they actually did it to drive up demand for the card over the much better 3060TI and 3070. Comparing it back to my current ASUS 1060 6GB , in that era, it would have been more like a 970. I can run Cyberpunk at descent settings without raytracing, yes the FPS is low by godly standards but it's more than playable between 30 and 60FPS and my card is a mini combined with an i5 CPU and a dollar store motherboard. I can't count on the 3060 to still be there 6 years from now running the latest stuff. It's a slight upgrade that would allow raytracing in Cyberpunk at the cost of many FPS but it also would mean a PSU upgrade so that's extra plus I'd have to worry about cooling and noise dampening so that's more extra. If artists can make use of this card then I think that's great but I don't think that was NVidia's goal. In fact they may raise the price if they find that artists are an unintended but hungry market.
HumanOddity69
Oh no, I just realized that the full beard and the beanie aren't just my thing anymore. I was early in on this, I even violated my workplace dress code and basically begged them to fire me lol. God damnit Linus, now every dude my age that's into tech is going to try and look like you and since I'm practically your twin with a slightly different chin that means that they are going to try and look like me. Ugh, I had a thing, for once in my garbage life I had something that made me unique and now it's going to blow up into a trending fashion. Thanks a bunch man.....
