hahaAnd yet most reviewers seem to think 3060Ti isn't really an RT capable card. Which of course just confirms RT in AMD is... non-existent (speed-wise) but still, neither it is in this card. Just stick to rasterization and enjoy high FPS in 1440p in games

4 games going beyond 144 on a beast of a setup ... If I am expected to fork out roughly 400 pounds I would wait and spend a bit more money at a card that is able to more easily hit 144 hz at 1440p
This card will not age well imho
Sure, and scalpers (which are usually huge organisations these days, buying this stuff in thousands) sit on this forum and announce bagging one with joy.
Get a beer mate and relax!I was debating this, was on the Nvidia site too and went from coming soon from 1400-1405 and then out of stock, never had a buy button for me... £370 saved I guess!

I'm sorry but if you want 144hz 1440P you get a 3080 or 6800xt
No gaming GPU age well, they lose value (and relative speed) very quickly. If rumours are to be listened to, AMD will present another gen next year (end of it) and all current GPUs (both 3k series from NVidia and 6k series from AMD) will drop in value quite a bit. But it hardly matters, this is how PC market works - you buy for here and now and maaaaaybe few months ahead, at most. Otherwise you just lie to yourself, IMHO.

It's more down to the quality of the cooler and amount of rgb bling to be honest. Oh and you can add ROG tax into the mix for Asus. The FE models are by far the best value.
@Gibbo
is there any notification that will be sent out or steps i need to take in order to find out when the 3060ti's are being released ? or is the case that im gonna be f5'ing your recent activity for the rest of the afternoon lol.
thanks
Yes you're right. My 3080 RTX is also good for 4K between 90 FPS to 150 Fps depending on the game. That's mostly maxed out minus Ray tracing. I can also do some games around that with Ray tracing as long as I turn on DLSS.
Thanks - so lower temps and itll look better, but even though a card may cost 25% more, its unlikely to give more than 5% better performance being Oced?

Good to know I'm in the right place before the scalpers come in
I think most of us on the forum could say the same thing. Eventually we just resign to trying to get whatever we can instead of what we actually want. In normal times it would be good to just sit and wait. Sure, but these aren't normal times - there's brexit with potential huge issues with shipping (clogged ports, much higher prices etc.), there's pandemic, there's scalpers and huge demand everywhere... At least most of us here can see it happen before other people in UK - but they all will experience that with some product sooner than later, I reckon.

Looks are subjective (FE is a pretty good looking card, some of the AIB's are...a mess but each to their own) but you're pretty much bang on with the rest, performance gains in regards to FPS are minimal, but sometimes thermals/acoustics can be much improved, that's where the real performance benefits can lie in my experience.

Got my Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB GAMING OC PRO, nice upgrade from a 1060 6GB!!
I still have to laugh at the demand situation that was created this year.
Everybody tries to get a 3070/3080/6800/xt but can't due to demand supply etc.
A cheaper card gets released and everybody that couldn't get the above tries to get a 3060ti to "tide them over" until they get their preferred card.
Throw in scalpers etc I estimate the actual demand for these cards is slot less due to complete duplication of demand across the different tiers/brands!.
Calm down people and stop buying everything in sight!

It's sort of RTX 2080S level of performance for around £400. I mean is that great value really ? You can buy a used 2080S for less than that so what are we gaining ? I guess RT is a bit better.
The card is good but it's not amazing by any means. I think most of us are just desperate to buy a new gen card, and some people are willing to pay anything it seems.
