Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new graphics card. My current setup is as follows:-
Asus Motherboard Prime B450M-A
Ryzen 9 5900X 5000 Series Processor
32Gb DDR4 1066MHz
1TB SSD and 3TB HDD (1TB and a 2TB)
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1650Super 2Gb Graphics Card.

I'm thinking of getting an RTX3060, but I'm not sure which would be best. I have about £350 to spend. I've seen a non-LHR for about the right price, but there are a lot of different options. I play A LOT of Elite Dangerous Odyssey (9,000 hours!!) if that helps.
 
The most important thing about buying a 3060 is: don't buy 8GB.

I don't think you can buy non-LHR 3060 anymore, so it's probably just an error in the listing (unless it is well-used).

Which models were you looking at?

FYI: I think the 6700 non-XT is a fair bit faster than the 3060 (though not faster than the Ti), except in RTX.

I've been looking at :-
MSI GeForce RTX™ 3060 VENTUS 2X 12G OC (for around £355) and the Palit Dual GeForce RTX 3060 12GB Graphics Card (around £340), The specs for both say that LHR is 'N/A'
 
Bought a Ventus for a recent build and pretty impressed, cooling is well designed, even at full stress test temps we're decent and it wasn't terribly noisy.
And that statement is from someone who favours w/c and super quiet operation
