3060Ti

Good parts: in Assassin's Creed Odyssey I went from 65-70fps on 2070S Aorus Extreme Heavily OC to 90-100fps ultra settinga on this little thing. It is like half in size and less then half in weight :)).

Anyone has any ideea if there are watercooling solutions for it already?

Are you happy enough keeping the Zotac then, even with the noise / heat issues?
 
Nope. I put it on sale. I won't scalp no one either. Will sell it for 20£ less then buying price to accommodate the open box.
 
Anyone else's Palit 3060TI not been dispatched?

Just for an update, I contacted customer services and it seems like we're in the oversold two maybe as they've offered a Zotac swap (I don't know how as my order was at 3:03pm and i've seen people's be 3:15+), but i've asked is there any alternative that I could cover the cost on as from reading about the Zotac here, I don't want to risk it.
 
My zotac OC arrived yesterday. I'm really considering returning it. It's a bit noisy, also I've checked with zotac and you can't turn off the logo that lights up. I have dr zaber sentry 2.0, and the thing is shining the ceiling up.

Maybe sell to someone local for RRP? You could make their Christmas!
 
Just got the zotac, really disappointed. The noise levels are unbearable for me.

I've contacted CS to see what my options are as I wouldn't be able to sell this to someone and sleep right...

Also my light on the card doesn't work either...
 
The fact that the zotac is now replacing the oversold palit instead of the OC palit that @Gibbo mentioned is a bit disheartening, I was really gunning for a palit as i've only exclusively used their GPUs over the years. The problems with the zotac littered throughout the thread don't fill me with confidence...
 
Maybe I'm lucky I decided I didn't need a 3060ti, I had ordered the Zotac after having good experiences with other budget brands such as Palit and PNY.
OCUK were able to contact DPD while in transit, it was in the van this morning on the way to my house but never arrived to my door and is now on its way back.

Kudos to both OCUK and DPD on this.
 
No issues with my Zotac non-OC tbh, about same or quieter than my old card (Radeon HD 7970). Temps sit at around mid 60s when gaming and when running Heaven benchmark on maxed out settings.

Maybe people with issues have a faulty unit, but the amount of people with issues seems very high to me.

This is what i've been waiting to hear, have a smidgen of hope now! :p

Was this the non OC version? Zotac considered this £0.01 LED bulb too fancy for that version.

What's your fan speed at while running heaven?

Mines at 70% at 70 degrees
 
I've been having a play with my Zotac non OC and managed to tame it a little.

The cooler really isn't up to a 200W card especially as the card runs to it's power limit so it's a full 200W constantly.
Undervolting was somewhat different that I expected, years since I've tried it on Nvidia.

Using MSI afterburner and the 20 loop stability tests.
I can run at +250Mhz offset with 150W power limit for ~ default performance in timespy / firestrike. Card tops out at temp of high 50's.
I can run at +300Mhz offset with 120W power limit for a little over 90% performance in timespy /firestrike. Card tops out at temp in low 50's but quieter than above

By default, I mean how the card behaves if you let it run in it's stock configuration.

These both make the cooler noise a lot more tolerable and more in line with my expectations for a small dual fan cooler.
Next will be to tune the fan curve at 150W and trade temp for noise as I'm happy to let the card run in the high 60's as per design.

Then I need check stability in gaming.... Cyberpunk here we come.

Not ideal to have to do this with a £400 GPU but it is an option for those who want to keep the card.
I really don't understand why they didn't just use the 3070 cooler for a few $ BOM cost.

Have fun
