In this video, I'm testing the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with the Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB in different games like Fortnite and Cyberpunk.

The Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB came out in the middle of 2021, it has 12GB of GDDR6 memory with a memory speed of 15Gbps and a bandwith of 192 bits. It has 3584 cuda cores with a turbo frequency of 2.535GHz.

I love that you use valheim in your test suite - it's actually a pretty resource hungry game and unoptimized so it's a good test.

[siulperez]

Hello, I have the same processor and graphics card,
It's just that apparently from what I can see with your tests I have my computer configured very badly and possibly the games too, will you have a video where you show/explain your configurations. I seriously think that it would help me and many other people a lot.

Greetings!

[zmkga]

my dad told me that when it's 2026 that I'm dad buy me a KFA2 GeForce RTX 3060 12GB video card and I have a Processor 53600 on my computer

[Abhi-hbsg]

Those who are watching...note that he isn't using rtx 3060 12gigs...he is using rtx 3070 8gb. 8:14 look at the corner

[deadenuss]

Hopefully getting that Build off a friend. Huge Upgrade coming from a i7 8th gen and gtx1060

[Rocket_browser]

Hold up wait a minute 8:14, look at down right corner it says rtx 3070 8gb 🤨🧐
Are ya lying?😮‍💨

[forgx]

Hey can you Tell which configuration is better :

X470 GAMING PRO (MS-7B79) + AMD Ryzen 5 2600X + 3060 12 G OR
X470 GAMING PRO (MS-7B79) + AMD Ryzen 5 2600X + 4070 Ti Super 12 G

[deannalee-bn]

everything same as my spec only the gpu im using gtx 1660 super, pubg is cpu intensive right but why your pubg high setting average fps is 200+ mine is 100 sometimes goes to 67 fps ....

[xenoamino]

Do you think it will be worth upgrading to ryzen 5 5600 or stay with ryzen 5 3600?

[Matrix_bits]

Why cyberpunk have better FPS with DLSS OFF?

[andrewtatefunnymoments]

I have both the cpu and gpu same, but if we look at fortnite im getting 100 frames, hes getting 300, am doing something wrong or maybe a setting, please help!

[brodm]

Hi! Would upgrading to a r 5 5600 be that much of a difference from the 3600?, because I’m planning to buy a prebuilt with the 3600 and the rtx 3060, but I want to ask you before if you think it would be that much better with a 5600

[kartzzz]

Hi, does RTX 3060 12GB support A320 M HDV motherboard? Thanks.

[Worgen]

Is there a huge bottleneck with this cpu and gpu? Is it worth upgrading my rx 580 8gb to rtx 3060 12gb with the same cpu r5 3600 like in the video?

[ИванПупукин-ож]

How many fps will be on this assembly in ks2 with a screen resolution of 4:3 1280x760 and at low???

[viniciusbaeta]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600x 6- Core processor, 3801Mhz
