This is my review of the new Nvidia RTX 3060. This is the cheapest GPU from RTX'S 30 series.
Performance
So this is Nvidia's cheapest GPU and the one with the best value. This will probably be their bestseller. Let's get into it. The performance is good but, not surprising, it is what you would expect from a 329$ machine. It is very well priced at 329, I would like it somewhere below 300 but 329 is good enough. Now 3060 has 12GB of RAM, more than 3060 Ti and 3080, Why, you ask? Well Nvidia being Nvidia knows that AMD will give 12GB RAM in their upcoming GPUs at a price much more than 300$, so they gave a competitor to them. If you put 70$ more you get 3060Ti and I would prefer that, Sure, it is a bit more expensive but, I think it is better in long-term and Ti has a better design as well.
Gamers VS Miners
Some time ago, Nvidia announced that RTX 3060's hash rate will be half of its ability. The reason for this was stock. If there is not a good hash rate, the miners won't buy this and there will be more for the gamers. And, they were not lying. It cripples a lot. They also said that they will be launching a new series for the miners. They claim that this will not affect the origina RTX and GTX products. Now, some people Nvidia is selfish in doing this and all of this is bad for us. But, I believe that their greed for money works well with the gamer's point of view here. Let's see...
Does Nvidia really care about the gamers?
I think Nvidia cares about the games much more than the miners. Because, when they sell this thing to a gamer he will use all the tech for a long time and keep it but, miners sell it after their use and that disturbs the economic structure for the company. People could argue that, all Nvidia cares about is money. But, see gamers make them money so Nvidia can't just care about the money and ignore the gamers.
