Purchased this card to replace my MSI 5700xt mech oc. Was having regrets waiting for the card to arrive. After firing up the card and playing some rounds of Apex legends the regrets disappeared. First time owning a founders edition. Card runs cool and silent. Did not brake a sweat during 4K @ 60hz. Night and day compared to the 5700xt. Don't get me wrong, the 5700xt is great card. Probably did not have to upgrade but when the add to cart stays yellow you have to click it. Not sure why Nvidia had to mess things up with the 12-pin power plug and putting it smack in the middle. To top it off, only 6 pins of the 12 pin plug is populated. Why did you have to go mess up my fantastic sleeved red cabling I had setup. The adapter is short and stiff (Nvidia also says 3rd party adapters could void warranty). During install of drivers, was scared for minutes as my screen went blank. Fortunately, that ~3-4 minute scare ended with successful installation. No RGB, no nvidia letter backlighting, kind of dull design, and not that nice to look at. Besides that the card runs fantastic. People say either buy the 3060ti (which I did as well) or the 3080. I say buy what you want and be happy. This card will definitely make you happy.

I've been running this card for around a week now and thus far it's as great as advertised. I managed to fit it into my nCase M1 mini-ITX case without any issues, as this is one of the few models that will fit into that case without requiring any special adjustments. Despite the smaller case and limited airflow compared to more expansive offerings, the card still runs at ~70C under sustained load, which is better than I expected. Note that the default fan profiles are definitely rather conservative, so if you're looking for longevity, I do recommend updating the default profile for extra cooling, at the expense of noise.

Purchased this the day of release for my new PC build. This graphics card is AMAZING. I can see the difference in quality in comparison to my old PC. I would buy this product again if they have another release.

Great card for the price, I managed to snag one during the Best Buy Drop a few weeks back. Pros: Good card for the price, Cooling is amazing. Small. Cons: Availability Proprietary 8 pin to 12 pin adapter ruins asthetic look. Don't buy from Scalpers.

Very late review but still a review none the less. As hard as this was to get, it was completely worth it! First owning the 970. Card is a lot smaller compared to those two, but has better cooling and power! The card surprisingly has some heft to it even if its a surprisingly small card I was fortunate to get this card, so if you are lucky enough to purchase one please do!

this is a good beginners card especially if you cant get yourself a 3080

After waiting months and finally beating the bots, I got myself a card. The card is great but it's a shame the prices are being destroyed by greedy people. I hope everyone is able to get their card!

Card works well. I don't have any noise or heat issues. Replaced my 1070 and it's about twice the performance plus ray tracing is now an option. This card has it's power locked, so overclocking further is fairly limited out of the box. Find that weird for a card that is 10-15% more $ than the FE version and has 2 8-Pin power connectors. But still a good card and it fits well in a smaller case. I'd go with a different brand version if you can find one for less, there is nothing about this card to justify the premium price. I only got it because it was the first one I saw available.

Very late review but still a review none the less. As hard as this was to get, it was completely worth it! This is my first "new" graphics card. First owning the 970, then 1070 both pre-owned. Card is a lot smaller compared to those two, but has better cooling and power! Great for my ITX build. The card surprisingly has some heft to it even if its a surprisingly small card I use this with the Ryzen 3700x and no bottlenecks from what I've seen. In RDR 2 all high settings, I've been getting 60-90 FPS. Most game all on High to Ultra are completly playable, and this is played on a 1440p 165hz monitor. I was fortunate to get this card, so if you are lucky enough to purchase one please do! Good luck have fun and don't give into scalpers!

The only rtx 3060 ti, that I can get. it’s good graphic card but msi one just overprice compare to the others

Love it. Constant high FPS and gorgeous visuals with raytracing and dlss. GET A GOOD MONITOR IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS!!!! I cannot stress that enough don’t waste $500 to play on a $100 monitor or tv if that’s you’re vibe get a cheaper card.

Nearly impossible to get but despite the shortages, the product is worthwhile. Beast card and aesthetically appealing. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Great perfomance and quality, very happy with my purchase.

When I embarked on my first PC build this December, I had no idea the state of the PC market (Covid shortages, new tariffs, crypto demand, etc). Right now is arguably the worst time to build a PC. I consider myself to have been one of the fortunate to get a card at MSRP thanks to BestBuy - it was not impossible, and was persistence of checking the website multiple times a day. This 3070 Founders Edition was initially not my first pick, but after having received it, it is now my favorite 3070 due to being simple and beautiful. In my opinion, the only comsetic downside to the card is the lack of any illumination. This card feels premium and is really rigid. Despite the fact my case only allows for one screw to be used on the PCI slot, this card does not have any sag and is very securely mounted. Performance? Well, the benchmarks speak for themselves. Admittedly, I am still in the process of setting up my new PC and have not had much time with it, but I am excited to know that this GPU should withstand my needs for some time.

Amazing AIB GPU for 3060TI. It's got decent overlock room for those interested in overclocking and the GPU runs pretty cool. It barely has to work at all for most titles that are not resource heavy *cough cough* COD *cough cough* or benchmark games that are similar. Lower power usage than I imagined to be for the games I play (AAA titles and competitive games) and stays very cool not breaking a sweat. There's a reason why the 3060TI is one of the most, if not the most sought out card by the masses. It's too bad these have gone up in price due to tariffs and demand. If you got this at original retail, you got a steal.

Glad I was at the right place at the right time to nab one of these. I was able to pay for almost the whole thing by selling my old 2070 on ebay. The performance is roughly twice what I got with the 2070, and the card is actually a bit smaller. Great card that isn't insanely bulky like some other 30 series.

Plays all new Triple A titles on maxed out setting what else could I ask for.

Sold this item but has very nice packaging and all the reviews ive watched are good

Fantastic card. Hits the sweet spots. Powerful, quiet, excellent. Wish the Geforce 3080 label on it had led, weird to see it missing when all the evga labels have it... but that's such a minor complaint.

best bang for the money! if can find one, def buy one! fast as a 3070 and faster then a 2080ti
