MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio

[W1zzard]

The MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio uses a huge triple-slot, triple-fan cooler that's much better than any other RTX 3060 we've tested today. Unsurprisingly, temperatures and noise levels in our RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio review are outstanding, with it runing incredibly cool while being whisper-quiet.

LET'S GOOOOOOO. DEPRESSION

three fans? msi really doesn't care. bawls first

EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Review

EVGA engineered a compact dual-slot design with the RTX 3060 XC that will fit all cases. Unlike all other RTX 3060 cards we've tested today, a metal backplate is included. EVGA's card ticks at a rated boost of 1852 MHz, and the cooler features the idle-fan-stop capability.

nvm. seems to be leading in noise and temps. so gg MSI for three fans.
@Dammeron

MSI and Asus really are pumping out good cards lately (since turing IIRC).
either one of these two always leads in temps, noise and/or power limit/performance.
sapphire seems to have dropped the ball, and evga has the support thing, upgrade path going for itself.

And again, you can buy one in 2023!

 

[Dammeron]

As always, MSI presents a hugely oversized PCB, that has no sense whatsoever.

come on fall of 2022

 

[ShurikN]

So it's basically a 2070 for more money. Amazing....

So it's comfirmed that BAR isn't enabled on desktop ampere yet ?

It's not mentioned in the NVIDIA reviewer's guide, so no not enabled yet. If I were NVIDIA I would save this for a boring day to get some extra PR

 

[Midland Dog]

this is an utter turd. it barely beats TU106 a last generation die. if you are buying ampere 3060ti or better otherwise dont bother

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Isn't the xx60 version of this generation supposed to beat the xx80 version of the previous generation? Nvidia said that RTX 3xxx was going to be such a jump over the previous generation????

 

[Metroid]

3060 non ti is a failure and why 12gb for such a gpu?, is worse than 5700, the ti version is the one to have and is only 8gb, nothing makes sense anymore.

I guess that this time around the 3060ti is the real xx60. Ampere jump from xx90 to xx60ti is decent... below that things don't make a lot of sense when you look at the price/perf ratio compared to last gen

MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio is dirt cheap in Germany atm... It's only 599€ (732 bucks) LOL. What a joke!

 

[W1zzard]

nothing makes sense anymore

You saw my explanation for the technical reasons in the conclusion?

 

[Anymal]

"It looks like the RTX 3060 is only marginally faster at RT than Ampere, seems the new RT cores don't make that much of a difference."
W1zz, what kind of sorcery is that?

fail t.t and I even had to read your post twice to find what's wrong .. fixing in the reviews

 

[Metroid]

Yeah, would either be 6gb or 12gb and 6gb right now would not make sense, I guess 8gb does not make sense either, where is the 16gb? That i wonder. AMD did it right, 16GB memory.

16 GB = $$

 

[Metroid]

16 GB = $$

Yeah, I know, for nvidia saving 8gb mmeory that makes another gpu = more profit for them, price would be the same anyway, i mean price sold at market price, not the fake msrp.

@W1zzard
Can you test on AMD SAM ?

Performance gain generation to generation:

GTX 760 -> 960 = +90%
GTX 960 -> 1060 = +72%
GTX 1060-> 2060 = +59%
RTX 2060 ->3060 = +19%

Why no reviewer is calling 3060 for what it really is, a total shitshow even at (non existent) MSRP?!

getting banded,maybe.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

This is for sure the most disappointing ampere card so far performance wise and doesn't bode well for lower end cards.... Feel bad for people in the $200-300 bracket.

Yeah, 3060 looks especially bad when you get +50% performance when upgrading from 2070>3070 or 2080>3080, plus, in theory, only +70usd gets you +30% performance with the 3060Ti (compared to only +15% for +100usd 3060Ti vs 3070).

This should have been 279-299usd GPU max. As it is, the only people buying it will be the ones who can't find a 3060Ti in stock.
