you and the games you play at a price that fits your budget and all redux pcs are backed by two year warranty to see all that redux has to offer and to start configuring your next pc head to the link in the description below alright so obviously i am late to this video if you haven't watch i am still recovering from covid and i wasn't going to come back to work and go right into uh the amount of testing that it takes to you know bring you guys a graphics card review on day one in fact i'm still taking it slow and i'm gonna give you more of an opinion piece about the 3060 because by the time this video has come out you guys will have probably already seen 5 10 15 who knows how many videos about everyone regurgitating the same specs and the same marketing spiel that nvidia wants you to repeat so i'm going to give you an opinion piece about this card instead which admittedly might be a little bit more valuable than talking about the specs so first things first the rtx 3060 not to be confused with the 3060 ti has the most ram available out of any 30 series card short of the 90. so there's already a weird thing happening there um as everyone already knows that is nothing more than a bunch of marketing circle jerk so everyone can start competing over the low end cards and who has the most ram because we all know amd comes out with 16 gigabytes on pretty much all of their cards again a big marketing circle jerk on amd's side because none of that ram matters on the lower end cards because they can't push the resolutions at the frame rates they would need to push them to have that size frame buffer even matter the rtx 3060 may have 12 gigabytes of vram which is more than 360 ti however has a narrower bus which means it's still not going to be able to benefit 12 gigs of vram not even 1440p sure maybe a few titles might push it up to 10 or 11 gigabytes but the 12 gigabytes honestly is nothing more than a marketing pitch to try and make you think you're getting more for your money which you're not second of all the 3060 i'm gonna go ahead and give him video a little bit of a support in this area in that when it was announced amd also announced their new 6000 series card or whatever that's coming that's going to also be a probably a 6700 or something like that um it's going to have probably 16 gigabytes of vram and a lot of people are just like stunning all over both nvidia and amd saying why the hell are you bringing out new cards when you know they're not going to be available anyway well if you understand the manufacturing process then you would know that these lower tiered cards that shared the exact same gpu die number whether it be t104 or tu102 or tu-106 the lower end cards are made from the leftovers of the higher end cards of the the wafers and the silicon that didn't meet the cut to be a higher tiered skew so what they do is they shave them down even more they make these lower end cards so do i fault them for making it and bringing it out during a world pandemic right now which has also led to the shorted the biggest shortage of silicon that we've ever seen in our history no because they already have it so they might as well at least divvy that up amongst their aibs to come out with these aftermarket cards which is also probably why you're not seeing a founder's edition card because of the fact that all of the silicon went to the aibs so that's why i'm not faulting either of these brands for actually bringing out new gpus that you admittedly are not going to be able to buy speaking of buying them let's go ahead and talk about what the experience was of watching the 9 a.m roll over happen when things went live big surprise just like everyone else best buy went right from coming soon to out of stock nvidia's own website when you say check availability just links you back to newegg which then just has nothing but the newegg shuffle which is where your name gets tossed in a hat and you have to hope your name gets picked to be able to buy a card rather than actually having a first come first serve service no the guy who signs up last could end up beating the guy who signed up first because of the shuffle which of all the different ways you could go about purchasing a graphics card i think it's the stupidest one out there unfortunately i also looked at micro center which is a in-store purchase only which is where you're going to have the best bet to actually buy one granny to live close enough to one to go wait in line two or three hours ahead of the store opening in the morning to hope that you end up getting one of those cards before they're sold out in terms of stock check at nine o'clock in the morning at tustin the tustin california store many of the sku said 20 plus available some said 10 some said five however that store doesn't open until 10 am which hasn't happened yet so i don't know how fast that number is going to go down however if we look at the pricing it's a little bit disturbing because it's more obvious now than ever that the aibs themselves well i'm mostly all the aibs and we do have an evga card here that was sent to us by nvidia not evga this is the only card that seems to be coming in anywhere near msrp this one is the evga xc so this is 389 msrp showing at both micro center and i think best buy had one in newegg or whatever um it was the only one under 400 bucks the other ones are showing in the 500 and the 629 dollar for the pny 3060. absolutely ridiculous now here's the problem if you go to nvidia's website and you check availability on the sku for 30 60s rather than nvidia selling them through their own store they're just linking directly back to newegg i wonder how much newegg paid for that so that according to nvidia the only place to buy it is new egg but that's a whole nother problem to talk about newegg then shows those cards available under the newegg shuffle at the msrp 329 for all of those skus however if you then go to micro center best buy at the other rick rick and rick and morty stores brick and mortar stores you'll find that those same manufacturers and the same cards with slightly tiered differences like you've got the ventus card right you get the twin frozen card or whatever they're calling it these days from like msi you'll find that they're 329 when linked through nvidia but then over 500 when directly going to the brick and mortar stores so the question is now who's actually scalping them is it the aib or is it the store i think there's probably a little bit of guilt on both parties you probably have the aibs i'm holding up the evga card unfairly because again this is the only card that seems to be coming in anywhere near its msrp when you've got the stores raising or the aibs raising the msrp of their own card and then the store raising it again because again capitalism free market the thing is worth whatever anyone's going to pay for it in a shortage people will pay stupid amounts for stupid products that is what it is so yeah if i sound a little salty about that i'm sharing in your guys distaste i'm sharing your guys frustration when it comes to buying these cards and i'm sorry i don't actually give a flying freak about the 30 60. i very rarely care about the 30 60 cards but knowing the fact that the the 60 series models now are deep in the 300 msrp price range and the realistic retail price being almost 600 make these the worst buy of the year but i still have to show you guys how some of the performances what i'm going to do is i'm going to just do some spot check of the 3060 versus the 3060 ti because i want to see how close it gets to it and i'm going to compare it to the 2016 i mean i might in a couple of things we have some numbers for the 2060. just to show what that uh price jump to performance jump is i think we're going to find that the lowest effort card is just a terrible value right now [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] um [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] all right so i know i probably seem like i'm being a little bit hard on the 30 60. i mean there's no surprise it was coming there's been a 60 series card for as long as the nvidia cards have basically been around well ever since i ditched the four digit moniker in terms of pricing and value we have to speak in these in these ridiculous hypotheticals because we know the msrp is not what the cards are going to cost again the evga xc black is basically their their closest to msrp card and everywhere i've looked so far i found this for 389 nvidia basically swore and promised that there would be cards available at 329 but we already talked about the problem with that when they link back to newegg all of the uh the cards that had the whole 329 price tag with them have the stupid little randomized purchasing option and then one of them i think was the ventus was sold out and then newegg had other cards available at exorbitant prices so it's kind of like they basically scratched in videos back by agreeing to that because of course nvidia is going to do what it can on its store which is just a redirect to control the pricing but there's so many other players in this in terms of the stores um the aib setting their own ridiculous pricing that at 329 this would have been a really good card especially when you compare it to the charts that we just showed versus the 2060 not the 2060 super but the 2060. i don't know if there's gonna be a 3060 super i doubt it in fact one of the reasons why we probably only uh saw 3080s 3090s and 3070s and only a 360 ti and not ti's of the other models is the best analogy that phil kind of put it as is they don't have the inventory to do it themselves he said nvidia basically can print their own money the problem is they've run out of paper and i think that makes the most sense here at 329 dollars i think it would have been a fantastic buy the 12 gigabytes of vram is a is a marketing gimmick it is not necessary on this card 12 gigabytes of vram with the memory bus that's available on the 3080 would have made more sense why they limited the 30 80 to 11 gigs is still beyond me and then the 30 90 jumping all the way to 24 gigs we know is for workstation loads but remember they also didn't classify that as a true workstation card because they still shaved a lot of the floating point uh performance out of it and the titan rtx is still a better card for various workflows uh depending on you know they continue to shave down their workstation cards right and the 3090 is just really this true in between card making it a really ridiculously overpriced over v-rammed gaming card and not a good enough true workstation card those that are doing like blender and stuff yeah you're not going to be doing much mining on this card those that are in the know on the mining when they talked about the specs were basically saying this card would be a terrible mining card it would not really pay for itself especially at the inflated pricing 30 60 pricing now being that of you know what's funny if you go and look at the prices of some of these these these brick and mortar stores the price of the 360 is actually higher than that of the 360 ti because you can't buy a 360 ti but because you can buy a 360 or at least could when we started the video and can't now by the time we got to this point because all the micro center options that i showed here where we had in stock the second the store opened it's basically out of out of stock now best buy also out of stock nvidia's link's out of stock newegg out of stock where it was in stock for those few moments the price was already artificially inflated to a ridiculous price so what i'm basically trying to say here is i don't really care i'm so burnt out on graphics cards just like you guys i've justified so many times saying we review the variance of the cards that way when you guys can find one you can at least say hey i know which one i want to buy and if it's worth it for the price that you're able to find it for we only have one 360 to look at i doubt we're going to get any more to take a look at especially after this video and you know at the end of the day with the scalping and when i say scalping i'm referring to the aibs themselves because so many of them truly are being their own scalpers and we're caught at it and then they come up with some stupid story trying to defend themselves that your boldface lies to the point to where if you can find one in stock you got to start asking yourself now is the 3060 worth what you would have paid for a 1080 ti when it first launched pascal being quite honestly one of the best periods for nvidia as far as i'm concerned ampier when we first saw it come out was supposed to be this saving grace for pc gamers more performance per dollar than we've ever seen i think until pascal actually and then it they beat pascal in that performance per dollar which turned out to just come be a complete farce i think that's a word because of the fact that it's just simply not available the availability draws or it drills all the way down to just the fact that with everything being computerized these days and even the autumn did you know a lot of automotive manufacturing here in the united states and in detroit where we technically are still manufacturing some cars has halted for many brands because of the fact that the ecu's that are needed to complete the assembly of these vehicles are also unavailable because they're all made in these same factories that are creating these socs and the wafers and the chips and the the raw materials that are needed to build the parts for the cars are also unavailable so not just gamers and it's one of those things where right now all manufacturing is being prioritized to the automotive market so that you know it's considered much more essential than gaming computers it's gotten to the point to where obviously when you drill down to a lot of these sub markets that's why the availability is as poor as it is so just like you guys i'm fatigued i'm i'm really tired of talking about stuff that i know you can't go out and buy as a product reviewer i still feel it's my job to talk about it and show you the performance where we can and give you some information to arm yourself with once you finally can go and buy it to make an informed decision but i'm not going to fill your inbox with a bunch of 30-60 content it's it's stupid to do that there's a lot of videos out there that you can get information from and i recommend you go and watch those videos if you're interested in learning more about the card and less about my opinion about why i'm just not feeling it alright guys thanks for watching sound off with your uh comments about the 3060 and this whole launch fiasco and right now my gpu giveaway is probably your best chance at actually getting a graphics card right now and i'll tell you about that right here and by the way i know you guys are probably sick about seeing this at the end of our videos it's only a few days left so if you've been holding off now's the time to sign up hey you before you click off this video you may or may not be aware i'm actually doing a worldwide graphics card giveaway where one winner will get to choose either a 6800 xt merc 319 card from xfx or a 2080 ti msi gaming x trio from team nvidia so if you're sitting there right now going i didn't know about this how do i enter follow the description down below you guys will find a link to the giveaway video that will give you all the details don't wait because it really sucks to find out about these after they're over
