I know the new AMD upper end cards are coming soon, but i don't think they will effect this end of the market… but who knows. Anyways, haven't seen these this cheap for a while now.

Here's the page with all their current deals for GPU stuff. There were other models available for $399 but they sold out before i could post this. There's actually some "comparitively cheap" GPU's there for once. Not just the usual price jacked discounts.

            How are you finding the S3?

      • Bearlion on 07/12/2022 - 09:09

        The $449 offerings may fit, says 2 slots but they might be more. The Galax card looks less in height based on images but probably is 2.2 slots.

      It's one of the cheapest ways to get proper hdmi2.1 (4k@120hz), and dlss makes 4k gaming doable.

          With dlss you absolutely can hit 60fps in games that aren't eSports.

          My partner has a 2070 which is roughly equal to a 3060 and while you definitely have to turn settings down it's perfectly playable for non competitive titles. We both have the M28U monitor.

      • Budju on 07/12/2022 - 09:00

        Lol 4k 120hz isn't something the card can do

        • FabMan on 07/12/2022 - 16:57

          Why don't people consider things other than gaming. Just having windows UI at 120Hz makes it a smoother and more pleasant experience.

          • Budju on 07/12/2022 - 17:00

            @FabMan: Sounds like a lot of electricity for your mouse pointer just to look buttery smooth.

            • FabMan on 07/12/2022 - 17:57

              @Budju: In windows the GPU's don't run at 100% usage, barely anything, so not really.

                +1

                @FabMan: So you basically buy 4k gaming monitors and mid-tier GPUs for a desktop only non-gaming experience. That's a spending of about $1 grand just so you have a smooth pointer. Seems legit

                • FabMan on 08/12/2022 - 11:58
                  +1

                  @Budju: Noooo, you can have a useful 4K screen for other things like work or in my case 3D modelling and then have the games run at 1080p 120Hz. A 4 to 1 ratio of pixels makes the games just look as good as if at a 1080p screen.

                  Some people have machines for work first and gaming second, so these cards are really useful those those people. So you spend $1k for smooth work and then high fps 1080p gaming, and if you use DLSS performance mode you can do higher resolutions on many games.

                  • Budju on 08/12/2022 - 13:22

                    @FabMan: I'm just saying that's a lot of money to be spending not to be using the monitor for what it's intended for. It sounds like you should instead be looking at 1440p 144hz monitors as they are the best mix of value and appearance, while allowing the gpu to get good frame rates as well.

                      +1

                      @Budju: Interesting discussion - definitely see the points from both sides. I for sure am the 1440p team as I am yet to see the benefit of a 4k monitor, or at least I haven't the budget for a screen big enough that warrants the 4k resolution. I'm also partial to smoother gameplay over higher pixel density, but that's a feature of the games I play. I recently built a pc with 12th gen intel (got a stellar deal somehow) and picked up a secondhand 1080ti and got a benq mobiuz 165hz FHD panel…. WOW I wish I had done that screen upgrade a long time ago aha. But yeah, it's kinda a wonderful world we live in that these technologies are always advancing. I'm just not one to be on the bleeding edge as I feel there isn't a need to have that 8k 120hz or whatever the latest bizzo that team green is pushing… but i do understand why people go for it; it's nice to have the shiny new nice thing sometimes ;)

    Reminder that NVIDIA is trying to pull a dirty trick again on the 3060 series with the subtle memory difference

    https://www.techspot.com/review/2581-nvidia-rtx-3060-8gb/

    The model linked is ok cos it's 12gb, but keep an eye out in case someone links or asks about the 8gb model

      • FireRunner on 06/12/2022 - 20:29
        +25

        The 8GB version has worse performance due to the gimped memory bandwidth.
        It is is dirty that they're both called the RTX 3060 when the 8GB performs significantly worse than the 12GB.
        Should have been called the RTX 3050 Ti instead of the RTX 3060 8GB

          Yikes! I had no idea!

      • iseeyou1312 on 06/12/2022 - 21:56
        +5

        It actually is hidden, the name of the card should be "3060 8GB" or "3050 Ti". Calling it "3060" means you really have to look at the spec sheet or the tiny "8 GB" on the box to notice the difference.

        • Masticccc on 06/12/2022 - 22:30
          +1

          Yeah you are right about on the box thing. Personally I always shop/pay computer parts on website first, so the memory gb always sit next to the model name hence I don't really feel the dirty here.

          • dcep on 06/12/2022 - 23:30
            +8

            @Masticccc: Not just the 8gb capacity …

            if the box or title doesn't say 128bit memory bus , then it's a dirty move

            plenty of nvidia cards in the past released & benchmarked reviews on higher spec version, eg. 128bit or GDDR5 or 12000mhz , for marketing exposure

            then later sneakily came out with gimped bus width 64bit or inferior ram chip ddr4 (not even gddr) or lower frequency 8000mhz

            • Masticccc on 07/12/2022 - 00:44

              @dcep: I think u required a bit much on the title tbh. Let's take RAM title for example, it usually brand + model + capacity + frequency + latency (i.e Corsair Vengeance 16gb 3600Mhz CL16). But base on your logic that title is dirty because latency should include full timing (10-20-30-40 blah blah), or else they are different. Then the title will be really unecessary long.

              For me title should have the basic model name +1/2 key number is enough, as long as they provide the full specs table in the same link that I can scroll down and read at anytime. I dont think you gonna spend hundreds bucks on something that you just look at the title right?

              • FireRunner on 07/12/2022 - 18:08
                +1

                @Masticccc: I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. If two products have the same name then it should be fair to assume they perform more or less the same.
                The equivalent for RAM would like Corsair releasing a 32GB Dominator Platinum kit have it all reviewed then quietly releasing a 16GB kit with same branding but performs significantly worse

                • Masticccc on 07/12/2022 - 18:12

                  @FireRunner: But the memory capacity is always on the model name when u search on online store right? Or at the very least it would be the small subline right under the name. I don't think company can trick consumer by that.

                  • FireRunner on 07/12/2022 - 18:24
                    +1

                    @Masticccc: You’re missing the point. The capacity would still be written on the box. If you saw the same kit 16GB and 32GB then you would assume they performed the same; the only difference should be the capacity

                    • Masticccc on 07/12/2022 - 21:40

                      @FireRunner: I won't argue for the "on the box" thing, scroll up and I already agree with it. But with online shopping, some scroll and click and u can have the full table of specs to check.

                        +1

                        @Masticccc: The product was obviously designed to deceive. It was silently released with same name as an existing model. It goes against what they just said about the 4080, “Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing.”
                        Even though it says in the specifications it says that it has a 128bit bus instead of 196, the average consumer would have no idea to look for that and what that would mean.
                        I don’t understand how anyone would call that anything but a dirty trick

                        • Masticccc on 08/12/2022 - 00:36

                          @FireRunner: I consider it like a normal "selling trick", like how Nvidia release 4080/4090 and with the 4090 has better p/p so consumer would go for the more expensive product, same as AMD with their 7900XT/XTX line up. It's not something nice, but I expect it nonetheless.

        6700 XT is about a 3060 Ti, 6700 is about 10% slower. All of them are a lot faster than the 3060 though.

    • CodeExplode on 07/12/2022 - 01:23

      At this point for gaming it seems AMD is far the superior choice at this price range, where you're not going to worry about 4k DLSS or likely even ray tracing anyway.

      For those of us who do machine learning stuff though, the 3060 12gb is a fantastic budget option with the huge vram size which is just enough to get across the line for a lot of tasks.

      Hopefully, but the 7900 cards are 4080 competitors and will be around $2k AUD.
      Neither company look to be releasing new mid range or lower cards for a while.

      I hope you're right, i'm just not sure that there's going to be too much movement at this level with those new cards. I just grabbed one of the 3060 cards before i posted this… i won't be too annoyed if they drop further, i can't see them dropping far enough to bother me about my $399 purchase of this 12GB card with the performance that it gives. Upgrading a system from a 1060 to a 3060.

    • Pugkin on 07/12/2022 - 11:38

      I mean that trickle down effect hasn’t really happened, and given those are $1500+ it’s not gonna directly effect the low-mid like these cards as it would the high end

      The single fan card was in stock at all stores and online when i posted. I'm not surprised, i couldn't find record of a price this low even on the 8GB cards… and these are 12GB models. I think they'd been $439 before for the 12GB models, not for a while though.

      I'm a little curious why Centrecom has done this so close to one of the busiest retail periods of the year… this is not the Centrecom way…. what do they know…. why dump this stock for an all time low when you're probably guaranteed to sell it for more in the coming weeks?

    How would something like this go with an i5-8600k processor for vr gaming, say half life alyx? Not sure if the cpu would constrain it?

      Should be fine, have a look on some benchmarks on youtube but the CPU doesn't tend to bottleneck most games unless it is like 8+ years old. The GPU >>> CPU when it comes to FPS.

      VR requires a bit more beef to run tho so double check what kind of fps other nerds are getting with a 3060.

      I have to run Alyx on lowest settings. It still looks amazing, though.

      But it over heated my CPU a lot and crashed until I re-did the thermal paste. It's VERY well optimised to take advantage of at least 8 threads.

      3300x, 2060 Super, Quest 2.

    Might be finally time to upgrade the 970.

    The bargains appear to have been snapped up :(

    Thanks, grabbed the galax. Been waiting for a good deal.

    Still rocking a 1060 but might have to keep an eye out on this card.

    Can't find confirmation, but it appears that Galax is 2yr warranty & Inno3D is 3yr, worth the extra $10 if that's the case.

    KEEP THE HODL TIGHT.
    TIGHT I tell yeez.

      Eh, they're not going up, but this is pretty good, I think.

      If you want something for gaming over Christmas holidays etc, might be a good buy.

    Hey, 20% slower 3060's for pennies less.

    I'd do a second hand 3060ti instead I think.

  • Rampager on 07/12/2022 - 09:42

    Thanks OP - bought the Galax one

  • PhilsComputerLab on 07/12/2022 - 10:50

    smol

  • captainmurphy on 08/12/2022 - 00:21

    All sold now it appears.

  • Ingram on 09/12/2022 - 16:03

    i'll keep an eye out on a 3060 deal. Looks like the Ti is the goer? Either way I only want an upgrade for August 2023 (BG3 in 4k please). Plenty of things can happen between now and then. Who knows how cheap it can get…

  • Jimmy77 on 10/12/2022 - 13:51

    Gamers are shameful for buying these. If I didn't snag the $349 6600xt I would still be using my 970
