Which RTX 3060 Ti to BUY and AVOID! 49 cards compared! Asus, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, Palit, Colorful...

Which is the BEST RTX 3060 Ti? There is almost every RTX 3060 Ti model in this video, and in this buyer's guide I compare the cards' power limits which affect the performance the most, the VRM current capability and quality which affects overclocking potential, as well as the cooling capability. This took even more time than the RTX 3070 video so I hope you found it useful! Please share this video with anyone that is looking to buy an RTX 3060 Ti!

Update:
Colorful BattleAx seems to only have a 200W max power limit according to a viewer. Made a mistake there, so I would knock it down to the top of the C tier. (previously said beside the Ventus but it actually has a really good cooler so I think it deserves the top of C tier at least.)

I didn't even know there were that many 3060s made.

The hero we need but don't deserve. The amount of work it must take to make these, especially now when stock is crazy difficult is absolutely mad. Thanks, these really help us all make educated purchases when buying a gpu, especially when competing against bots and scalpers.

[jhanschoo]

My gripe with the higher-end cards is that with how much they are going for, it probably makes more sense to get a lower-end 3070 instead.

[anewmanvs]

Dude, thank you for this. Can even imagine how hard it was for you to gather all that intel.

[υηιν_]

honestly, you deserve a lot more than likes and subscriptions. this is an amazing tech guide, very analytical, providing good statistics, good recommendations, showing what is good and what is bad. You just earned a new subscriber, but again you deserve WAY more than that. GOOD JOB :)

[Gx]

Wow dude... the timing on this is insane haha. You've earned a sub and a like. Thanks for all the hard work.

[EmarStudios]

oh wow, this is epic. i love these buying guides, they're so informative. keep it up man! ^^

- "Which RTX 3060 Ti to BUY?"
- "Which is not sold out"

[Serpentar]

shops in my country : *tries to sell 3060 for a "reasonable" price of 800$, which is twice of recommended price*
*meanwhile all technobloggers: "Ayy lmao guyz, imma make a small house for my dog by using all these spare 3090's and 3080's i have lying around with no use :^)"

[jonashediger]

Thanks sooo much! I was checking everyday when you will finally upload! 👍👍

[jasonalpers]

At this point I’ll take anything I don’t even care anymore lol

[laiden]

Extremely useful guide, saves us alot time searching tech details to all variants. Also kept me from buying a card with specs under FE, which I didn't expect to exist, given that (theoretical) FE price point is under the custom designs. Since FE not available atm, where as some partner cards are, i was thinking to buy one. Guess I think twice now...

[dovahrgonplayer]

I have the 2x OC ventus and it was like finding a bottle of water in the middle of the desert. I am satisfied and the gpu performs excellent in AAA games

[swagmaster]

Thank you so much for making timestamps. You earned a sub. Merry Christmas!

[Vodkat]

Good video! I'm able to get me hands right now on the Zotac twin fan and the MSI ventus but thanks to this video now I'm aware they're a little bit overpriced for their performance so I won't bother with those.

[conyo]

I got the Colorful Ultra OC-V! Very good model. I can undervolt and overclock at the same time. It's cool, quiet and performs very well in games!

[colligendisaurora]

Damn.. You literally came out of nowhere but hit like a train coming straight from the recommended. Really useful and comprehensive guide for people like me who don't know tech stuff well enough to check and compare these things themselves!


Altough it's literally the worst time to get graphic cards right now, I'm hoping to get the desired one in a few months and throw it into newly assembled PC. I haven't ever built one so I'm pretty unexperienced in this topic. Even after reading few guides some parts still remain somewhat unclear so vids like this one ease the choice a lot. Would love to see similar comparisons for other pc parts so I wouldn't have to dig for every single little bit of information in various places for hours just to figure out what it means.

This was the most thorough, detailed and concise review on graphic cards I have ever heard. Well done!

[gregjacyszyn]

VERY APPRECIATED! We were trying to decide between 3060ti and 3070s that were available to us. This was incredibly helpful!
